I'm back again! Yep, you'll never get rid of me. Well this tourney was evaen smaller than the last one, and would have been only me and my 3 friends had we not forced Ryan to enter. The entry fee was the usual 3 dollars, and I entered with Rudi, Troy and my friend Bryan.( We pick up another person every time, it seems like) I know I said last report that I was going to use my secret deck, but since none of the people I wanted to use it against were there, I simply used Tuff Stuff.
Tuff Stuff:
Vers. 3
POKEMON: 14
4 Hitmonchan
4 Jigglypuff
3 Wigglytuff
3 Scyther
ENERGY: 17
13 Fighting Energy
4 DCE
TRAINERS: 29
2 Oak
1 Item Finder
3 Lass
2 Nightly Garbage Run
2 Energy Retrieval
2 Bill
2 Challenge!
4 Plus Power
3 E.R.
2 S.E.R.
2 GOW
2 Scoop up
2 Comp. Search
STRATEGY:
Okay, as you can see if you read my other reports, I have
made some more changes to this deck. First off, I scrapped 2 energy for two
Nightly garbage runs, which can each get 3 energy back, AND help me stop
decking. Second, I took out two bills for two challenge!. Challenge! works like
a bill, but has the nice side affect of allowing me to fill up my bench if my
opponent accepts.( Remember, Wigglytuff + full bench = Death for opponent)
Finally, I scrapped an otherwise hardly used E.R. for another invaluable Lass. I
was debating whether or not to put Sneak Attacks in but I couldn't find room.
The deck operated flawlessly in the Tourney, but no one accepted my challenges (
Doh!) so I might put the good old bills back in.
Otherwise, the strategy is to use your
powerful basics to stall a couple of turns for a Wiggly, and then demolish your
opponent with 60 per turn.
First Round was a Round Robin between three of us, and a regular match between the other two players, with a best out of three Final round.
Round 1: me vs. Troy with Chansey/Ninetales deck
Match 1:Troy is a real good player, and
his deck is also really good. Earlier, he had roughed me up with his
fighting/psychic deck, but this time it would be different. He opened with
Magmar F to my Chan. ( I also had a benched jiggly ).
It went back and forth with E.R.s and smokescreens and
Jabs, until I got a Wiggly. I retreated Chan for Wiggly and challenged. He said
no so I drew my cards and got an Oak, immediately using it. I got about three
more on my bench, billed, and got a pluspower. I attached the PP and waved his
magmar for a K.O, drawing scyther as my prize. He sent out a scyther and passed,
so I benched my scyther, searched for a PP and waved for another K.O. After
that, he had only a magmar with 20 damage on it ( from Chan ), so after getting
smokescreened, I got heads and won with wave.
Match 2: This time he started with only
a pair of vulpixes. I had Scyther, but drew a Chan first turn and retreated for
it, then jabbing for 20. He attached and passed, so I attached energy, then a
PP, and jabbed for a KO. He sent out the other one, attached and passed again. I
attached and Special punched. He drew a chansey and benched it, attached to
vulpix and confuse rayed without confusion. I SPed for a prize. He scrunched
after playing a DCE on his chansey, with tails. I SP'd again for 80. After he
scrunched with heads, he drew no basic on his next turn, so I jabbed for the
win.
Round 1: Me vs. Bryan with Attacking Psychic deck
Match 1: I have no idea why he used
this when he knew I was using tuff stuff. He could have had a chance with his
Lapras/Electabuzz haymaker, but he didn't use it.
Anyway, I simply decimated him. He couldn't do any damage
to my lone Jigglypuff, and he stayed in it solely by using his Haunters
PokePower and sleep. After filling my bench, I finally destroyed his Haunter,
only to face a Mr.Mime. To make the rest short, I used Chan and Jiggly for the
mime, Chan for his Kangaskhan, and Wiggly for all else. I won by prizes. He did
hurt me for 30 with a digger though.
Match 2: He forfeited, seeing that he
couldn't win, before he even started.
FINAL ROUND: Me vs. Rudi with Mew/#1 deck.
Match One: Alright, that wierd name
actually has a meaning. The "Mew" part is for his MP and NP Mewtwos,
the / is for Scyther's attack( slash, get it?) and #1 is the variation.( the #2
version has Mew and Aerodactyl) All I had to do this match was play his weakness
and use my resistance, and I did just that. I picked off his NP mewtwo with Chan
and 2 PPs after a GOW, and used Jiggly for everything else. He put up a really
good fight, going into the final few cards of our decks, but some lasses and
NGR's stopped me from decking and I won by prizes.
Match Two: This one was quicker. I
started a Chan to his Jiggly, which needless to say was trouble for him. His
scyther took some time to take down, but after an SER leaving the Scy helpless,
I oaked. I got a jiggly, Wiggly and Energy, with a comp. search. I attached DCE
to Jiggly. Next turn, I evolved, attached, and searched for Oak, getting enough
basics to take out the scyther. After that, all that was left was a Mewtwo MP. I
attached to wiggly incase he had SER, but he didn't and I won next turn.
For winning the tourney, I got a whole Ten bucks store credit, which I used for 2 Rocket packs. I got a First Ed. Dark Raichu and a First. Ed holo Dark Charizard. Yea, I wish. I actually got a freakin non-holo Dark Charizard, which I already had, and a holo Golbat. Both non First ed. Oh well, my packs always suck. But at least I won.
Hopefully next time there'll be a bigger turnout, and if the certain people are there, I'll use my secret deck. Just so all you people at the Deptford league know, the tourney is in Lindenwold, on Chews Landing road. It's held every other Saturday, so the next one is May 27, at 1 o'clock. GIT YER BUTTS OVER HERE!
