   Well, this is my first DCI tournament. I won the day
before to qualify for the tournament of champions. I
thought had no chance to win, but it turned out I did. If
you didn't know this deck is named for a famous wrestler.
Anyway on to the tournament and the deck.

THE GAME

4 Electabuzz
4 Scyther
4 Hitmochan
2 Hitmonlee
2 Bill
2 Professor Oak
2 Gust of Wind
4 Energy Removal
4 Super Energy Removal
4 Plus Power
1 Challenge
2 Scoop Up
12 Fighting Energy
9 Electric Energy
4 Double Colorless Energy

Round 1 vs mono-electic
I drew a Scyther and Hitmo. Quicky finished off Voltorb
w/Hitmo. Energy Removed Zapdos 6 times. Game was about
over, but I retreated Hitmo(duh). He drew some energy. But
Hitmo was to much for Electrode. He had no benched Pokemon.
1-0

Round 2 vs Funny Dude with Rain Dance
He started out with a little figurine that was his good
luck charm, it didnt work. He drew a Seel, I drew
Electabuzz, It was over in about 2 turns, I
guess his little good luck thing didn't work.
2-0

Round 3 vs Teen Andrew with Ditto Deck
Well, I don't remember a whole lot about this game, but I
do remember that it was a very VERY close one. This final
prize total was 0-2. I finished off his Ditto with a
Scyther's Slash and a Plus Power.
3-0

Semi-finals vs Ash wannabe with mono-grass w/Venomoth
He didn't cause me a whole lot of trouble. He kept
retreating with Venomoth and Scyther. But my Energy
Removals were too much for him, he eventually decked
himself. He said good game.
4-0

Finals vs Adult Andrew with a Promo Mewtwo deck
We were playing for a 1st Edition Fossil set. If he won I
would drop down to 3rd place, because I didn't verse enough
difficult opponents early
in the game. We had a 20 minute time limit. He was playing
a tough Promo Mewtwo and Ditto deck. My Haymaker wasn't
working early. He took
the advantage 5-3 in prizes. We kept Energy Removaling each
other back and forth. He was really picky. Then people kept
asking how much time
was left. He was just about to deck himself. It was his
turn, he had 2 cards left, he drew one. 18:15. Then he Item
Findered, then Rocket Sneak
Attacked, he did anything to waste time. 19:50, :51,
:52....:59....20:00, time. I was SOOOO close but in the end
I only got 3rd.
4-1

Well, I was so close. I got a gift certificate for a large
pizza, but the head judge was nice enough to give me $20
worth of cards and a TR booster instead. I got a Chansey,
Electrode, Magneton and a Dark Vileplume holo. Oh well,
there's always next tournament

Props and Slops
Props to Funny Dude cause he had his little lucky figurine
that wasn't lucky
Props to Ash wannabe cause he took losing with grace
Props to the head judge who gave me cards instead of pizza
Slops to Time
Slops to the Timer
