I woke up at 8:30, and surfed the 'net, hoping to get advice. My Dad and I finally
got to the mall at 11:45-an 45 minutes after the tourney started. After 15
minutes of waiting in line, I got the last slip for the last tourney of the day.
Since we had two hours to spare, my Dad and I got somthing to eat. Then we
watched some people battling.
At 2:00, we got to the Deck check-in. I was so nervous that my deck count
wasn't right. But, of course, it was just right. Now, before I get on to the
tourney, here's the deal with my deck:
I was going to use an awesome Cleaner FlaMeHeaD built me,
but I realized that I hadn't had much time to play it, and I wanted to play a
deck I made, one that fit my stlye. So, I decided to play my deck, The Gumball
machine. However, I thought it needed a cooler name, so I decided on Join the
Party! Anyway, on to my deck:
Pokemon:(18)
3xElectabuzz
3xFossil Magmar
2xPromo Mewtwo(Duh, the Movie one!)
4xJigglypuff
3xWigglytuff
2xKangaskhan
1xDitto
Trainers:(21)
4xBill
2xOak
3xGust of Win(d)
2xER
1xSER
2xPlusPower
1xRSA
1xLass
1xChallenge
1xComoputer Search
2xMr. Fuji
1xScoop-Up
Energy:(21)
7xElectric Energy
7xFire Energy
7xPsycic Energy
My strategy is to start with Magmar or Electabuzz, while powering up a
Wigglytuff, or Kangaskhan. Ditto is just for fun, and Mewtwo is a late game
clean-up hitter.
Match one: Himalaya vs C. Taylor
I think this guy had a psycic deck, but I didn't see much of it. I drew an okay
starting hand, and then procided to cream him. He only got an Abra, a TR Drowzee
and one other Pokemon out (I don't remember whitch). I however, got a pumped
Wiggly out, and wiped the floor with him. He did, however, manage to take
one prize. >__<
Points:5
Opponent's Skill:0
1-0
Match Two: Himalaya vs P. Schilling
I don't remember this match very well. I know I never got Wiggly out, Magmar and
Electabuzz mashed him.
Points:6
Opponents Skill:6
Prizes so far:2 Base Set II booster packs
2-0
Match Three: Himalaya vs T. Rontnaris
This guy was a HUGE jerk. He obviosly didn't know how to play the game.
For one thing, he kept calling the Master Trainers over. The first time, he
flipped on his turn for Hauneter's Transparency! Then, he called a Master
Trainer over because I flipped for sleep between turns! Also, on one turn he
forgot to draw his card, and went ahead and retreated an Abra I had gusted out
last turn. Then he drew. I told him to discard the card, and he said no and
called a Master Trainer over. In this match, time was called.
Points:6
Opponent's Skill:11
Deck Count:31
Prizes so far: 2 packs, 1 invaitation
3-0
Semi-Finals: Himlaya vs Sam Osika
One thing: Sam is a girl, Sam is short for Samantha.
She was playing a Fighting-Electric Deck.
I started with only a Magmar, and she got 2 jungle Pikachus.
Early on I got an Electabuzz, and later a Mewtwo. She got TR machops, and
Hitmonchans. The only pokemon of mine she knocked out was Electabuzz, as he is
weak to Fighting. I beat her two ways: I benched her and drew my last
prize. Sorry, Sam!
Points:5
Opponent's skill:11
Deck Count:29
Prizes so far:2 packs, 1 invatation, 1 hat.
4-0
Finals:Himalaya vs ???
I was so nervous this match! All the master trainers were crowding around
and there was a big crowd watching us. There was a lot of drawing going
on in this match. I however ended up with the edge, as Mewtwo devestated his
Fighting pokes. I won!!!!!!!
Points:5
Opponenets Skill:15
Deck count:31
Prizes:12 booster packs, 1 invatation, 1 hat, 1 t-shirt
