This tournament was held at Name of the Game in San Diego California. About eight people showed up.

First place won twenty one dollars, second won ten dollars, third place won five dollars. Anyways heres my deck.

The point of this deck is to either stall with Scyther or lay the Smack-down with Electabuzz. Ditto is used for additional backup or stalling. Scoop-up is there for stalling, and Pluspower for power.

Game 1: This was quick. I got electabuzz and he got dark ekans. I won the flip and thundershocked for paralysis. He went, then passed it back to me. I drew, and got a pluspower, put an energy down, and Thunderpunched for the win.

Game 2: I was'nt so lucky this time. I got Ditto and 6 energy. He ended up winning because...one Ditto just doesnt cut it.

Game 3: I put out a scyther and he started with a lickitung. I was thinking "where are my electabuzzes", but on turn four, I slashed for victory.(his last basic)

Jason was playing a wildfire variant with muk, so my Dittos were out of the picture for now.

Game one:I got go-go-gadget electabuzz and he started out a moltres. After a couple of rounds i knocked it out, forcing him to put out a chansey. I thunderpunched it three times, and won.

Game 2: This was VERY close. i was pretty much up on my seat on this game. he was wildfiring all electabuzzes, and his muk took out my ditto.But--Scyther is always there...I knocked his Muk

and pumped a ditto. I had one prize, and 0 cards in my deck. the whole game depended on a coinflip. Very lucky for me, I got heads and divebombed his moltres taking my last prize.

I went first and placed a lightning on ditto, then passed. he placed a psychic on mewtwo then oaked. He energy absorbed the energy he threw away, then passed. I drew....a double colorless!!! i slapped it on and psyburned for the win.

Game 2: This one, was also short. on turn 1 i oaked a couple of times to get 4 pluspowers, and thundershocked once on his mew, giving me the win.

I have to say this--No matter how hard i try, or anyone tries, it always ends up being me vs Sean for the finals. Whatever... He was playing his "thunderslash" deck that usually does pretty well.Here's the finals.

Game 1: I got the slash-o-matic scyther, and so did he. He won the coinflip ad oaked twice on turn one!

I purposely tried to stall by scooping up everybody but scyther, and, surprisingly, it worked.

Game 2: He put out a clefairy and i put out ditto. You could probably see where this was going---like a one armed man in a wheel chair race, or a limbless man in a swimming pool, going nowhere but down...until he failed to professor oak, giving me the upper hand. I Placed down an electabuzz, and thundershocked, the rest of the game. He attempted to save his deck by lassing a couple of times, but it put more cards in my deck than it did his, and i won! YES!!

I had a lot of fun at this tournament, but there was only one thing missing--- my older cousin not being there to intimidate everyone. Oh well... there's always next time...Derek...

I won 21 bucks (my lucky number) and bought a team rocket pack. I always have good luck when opening packs, so i bought some. I'm trying to save up to buy a guitar, so i did'nt spend too much...

Once again, my deck is called Copy-Cat central. If you like my deck, email me at ddrewelow@compuserve.
