Hi Pojo!This is my
deck.Let me tell you a little history on my deck.Its the first deck Ive ever
made by myself that worked.I had decks,sure,but strange decks that never
worked.I always play in the tourneys and dont do too badly,but Im using my
boyfriends deck idea.This is my deck.
It started out with
Pidgeot.I know,bad idea,but it was only going to be for fun,Pidgeotto is my
favorite Pokemon.I took the Pidgeot/Pidgeotto/Pidgeys out though,fixed it up a
little,and it turned out to be a nice deck.
Its very cheap (not in
cost,but in moral.) It runs on Computer search and Item Finders.
By the time any of my
oponents were 5 turns into the game (when I was doing good.) they were out of
energy on their pokemon with 6 prizes left,and I more than likely had drawn at
least 2.
I give some credit to my
boyfriend.I was going to put Hitmonchan in instead of Promo Mewtwo,but decided
against it.Its a big risk,as everyone around here is using Insane Wigglys.
Heres the deck list for my
deck,which is called "Cool Beans!" (Ill explain in props):
3 Ditto
4 Scyther
2 Chansey
4 Promo Mewtwo
3 Professor Oak
3 Bill
3 Scoop Up
4 Super Energy Removal
3 Plus Power
3 Gust of Wind
3 Energy Removal
2 Computer Search
3 Item Finder
2 Grass Energy
14 Psychic Energy
4 Double Colorless Energy
And it works great!Now
heres what happened at the tourney!
AZ Gamers runs a great
tourney.Today was a 4 round swiss tourney,DCI Sanctioned.Top 16 get prizes,top 8
battle for bigger prizes.
Round 1-Pass
Yes.I got the bye for the first round.I sat
around,ate potato chips,and watched my boyfriend masacre someone.
End Standings-1/0
Round 2-Kaylen Nahara
Kaylen is one of my pals kids.Hes such a
cute little kid!He's about 5.
His deck is a rough Haymaker with
Machop,Hitmonlee,Scyther,and Hitmonchan.
I started with a Mewtwo,a Computer search,a
scoop,a DCE,and the rest psychic energy.
I put an energy on Mewtwo,computer searched
for a Chansey,and absorbed the energy from the discard pike,KO'ing a Hitmonchan
the next turn.
The rest went downhill.More cheap weakness
KO's,not to mention a few Scythers bit the dust.
He did kill off 1 Mewtwo,but I just built
up another one in one turn.
End Standings-2/0
Round 3-Michelle Frechette
Michelle is one of the only other girls I
know that plays Pokemon.Shes nice and cool,and I think #32 or something in the
state.
Her deck is a Insane Wigglytuff with Rocket
Squirtle,Scyther,Hitmonchan,Jigglypuff,Wigglytuff,and Electabuzz.
I dont know why,but I can never beat her!I
didnt take it bad,though,since she did have Wiggly against my Mewtwo.
I drew 2 prizes,not too great,but the game
lasted long enough,I almost decked her,but I wasnt quite close enough.
End Standings-2/1
Round 4-Dont Remember!
Sorry,if I dont know them,I cant remember
their names.
I didnt get to see anything in his deck but
a Hitmonchan,because that was the only basic he got,and I KO'ed it turn 2 with
Mewtwo's energy absorbtion after computer searching with the energy.
Final Standings-3/1
Top 8
I didnt want to be in the
top 8.It always looked too hard.But I made it,so I got to play other people in
the top 8.I got 4th place out of 23 people,so that meant I played 5th place to
see who went on and so on.So I found my opponent and got to work!
Top 8 round 1-Dont Remember!
Im sorry.Ive seen the kid before,and never
liked him because he is an over-confident jerk.
His deck is a raindance variant with
Lapras,Blastoise,and I think Articuno,though I never saw one the whole game.
Well,we draw out our seven,I draw my
prizes,then ask him if he's ready to roll the dice to see who goes first.He says
yeah,so we do,and I get to go first.The I ask if he's ready again,and he says
yes,so I go.
My turns done,and before he picks up a
card,he says "Oops,forgot my prizes." So I call the judge,because the
rule there is if you dont put down your prizes,your opponent draws 2 prize
cards.
The judge told me to go ahead and draw
two,giving me an excellent start.From then on,I beat the crud out of him,denying
him of any energy that he could possibly put on.2 loaded Mewtwos,a loaded
Scyter,and a Ditto with 3 energy on my bench,and Im killing right and left.He
got out a Blastoise,but
I gusted it out and killed it with a
psyburn,another psyburn,and 2 plus powers.
End Standings-1/0
Top 8 round 2-Carmen Cordero
Carmens one of my best poke' friends.I see
her at every poke' place.
She was using a Mr. Mime potpurri deck
today with Scyther,Electabuzz,Mime,and Hitmonchan.
I dont remember our starters,all I can
remember is she had no energy the whole game,and any she did get I removed.It
was great.My loaded Mewtwo helped me out killing off 4 Scythers and a
Hitmonchan.
Luckily,she didnt get any Mr. Mimes
out,because I have nothing to kill them.
The last prize I drew was for a dead
Electabuzz.
End Standings-2/0
Top 8 final round for 1st place-Ben
Ferguson?
My boyfriend!I had to get against my
boyfriend!
Well,we decided to split for 1st place
rather than one of us beating the heck out of the other.
End Standings-2/0 and tie
Well,I had a great day
with my new deck,and did wonderfully.I got a package of new sleeves (The green
ones!),a $10 gift certificate,and a redemption card for 20 free common and
uncommon Pokemon cards.
Not bad for $5.
Props;
To my boyfriend for giving
me the idea of Mewtwo.He works like a charm!
To Craig Ericson for using
the phrase Cool Beans over and over,giving me my name for this deck!
To Mike for running such a
great tourney!
To Chad Mills for me not
having to play him!I CANT BEAT HIM!
To Fred for giving us a
ride to another tourney!
Slops;
To the vending machine for
not giving me more potato chips when I paid for them!
To that kid I played that
didnt draw his prizes for being rude and singing obscene words!
Thanks!
