Hi once again, Pojo! It's
Sainatee Suarez here, with the latest KillerDeck! I must say that this newer
version of MewDrill has improved since the last one, but my future hopes are
to make an all-psychic deck! I attended a league event, and many kids were
playing with Japanese cards. I, however, was not.
MewDrill
(psychic, grass deck)
Pokemon:
1 Weedle
I'm thinking of replaceing Weedle, 'cause I've only one of each
evolution for him.
1 Kakuna
1 Beedrill
3 Abra
(2 base set, 1 Rocket) Ahh, despite the crappy Hp, this little
guy has gotten me out of trouble many times before. You can flip a coin to see
if the defending Pokemon is paralyzed, and with a little coin flipping luck,
this guy will stall you just at the right time when you finally get a basic.
2 Kadabra
The real killer of this deck. Kadabra has a fair amount of Hp,
and Recover does you alot of good. We all agree, however, that Super Psy is
his strong point, don't we?
2 Jynx
(1 base, 1 Gym 2) Big boob here can do up to 20 damage, and if
the defending pokmon has a weakness, up to 40 damage for just one Psy energy!
And Meditate is totally awsome. God knows how much damage you can do for just
3 energies!
1 Jigglypuff
Not as good as Wiggly, but Lullaby will just stall you for
hours [if your opponent's not lucky with the coin flip] and Pound will do the
damage while the defending Pokemon is rocking in the cradle
1 Wigglytuff
Ahh, Wiggletuff! If I'm lucky enough to get Wiggly, chances is
that Wiggly can do up to 60 damage for just 3 energies! Cool, huh?
1 Psyduck
Thanks to Justin Smith for this idea, Psyduck is totally awsome!
Even though it's a water Pokemon, 1/2 of its attacks require one Psychic
energy, and just for that, you're opponent can't use any trainers on his or
her next turn!
1 Dark Golduck
This guy kicks butt agianst Kangaskhan. Even though Dark
Golduck can do the same amount of damage as Kadabra, it pays to have alot of
damage-doing Pokemon in your deck! This guy is especially good if the
defending Pokemon has a resistance to Psychic.
4 Mew
We all know that Psywave is great, but Devolution Beam is even
better! But I warn you: never use Devolution Beam on your opponent's Pokemon.
That only gives him the advantage by taking away all damage counters, not
being poisoned, confused, paralyzed, or asleep! Always use on your Golduck,
Beedrill, or Kadabra. In a way, Devolution Beam is sort of like a Scoop Up!
1 Likitung
I don't know why many people don't have this guy in their
decks. He's just so plain great! 90 Hp for an uncommon, you can paralyze your
opponent for an energy and confuse for 2! Great card. It's first edition, too
2 Mewtwo
(1 promo, 1 base) Okay, Okay, the promo Mewtwo is GREAT against
Super Energy Removals, and Energy Removals. The damage is great, and Barrier
does its thing.
Trainers:
2 Switch
Did you ever send out a Pokemon that has a high
retreat cost? Not to worry, the Switches are here. Use these great trainers
sparingly though, you may need them in many occasions.
2 Gust of Wind
Aha! When you see a weak Pokemon on your
opponent's bench, whip it open an KO it. Everyone at the league hates me
because of these things.
2 Bill
I hate it when all the card you draw every turn
are all energies, and you're badly in need of a basic! Sure, I know, Bills
don't belong in stall decks, but I usually KO all of my opponent's Pokemon
before I run out of cards.
2 Energy Removal
Only use at the beginning of the game when your
opponent is still building up his or her Pokemon. It'll save you a turn, and
you'll most likely KO it before that Pokemon is fully pumped
1 Nightly Garbage Run
What can I say...this thing is even better than
Revive! Although you do have to have some luck drawing Pokemon, though.
1 Defender
This is for times when you have only one basic
out, and you can't get anymore. Oh, well
Energies:
6 Grass energy
22 Psychic energy
Okay, Okay, Okay. I know what all of you are gonna
say. "Where the hell is Alakazam, Mr. Mime, and Chansey??" Well, to
tell the truth, I don't have one!
THE MATCHES:
Me vs. ???? (All elements)
This little girl was about 8
years of age, and she had a deck of all elements. She starts with a Gastly,
and puts my Likitung to sleep. Lucky for, I woke up and in 3 turns
"killed" her Gastly. She pops out her Abra, and sice I had
resistance, I "killed" off the Abra, too. But then, she gets along
her Kakuna and poisons my Likitung (I'm in trouble). Finally, after many
turns, my Likitung fainted, adn I had no choice but to send out my Kadabra. By
this time the girl had retreated her Kakuna and had Weedle out (don't ask me
why she did that). Crap. How'm I gonna get that beepy Kakuna out for the KO? I
only hoped that I'd get a Gust of Wind, soon. "Look, I'm gonna
poison ya!" She placed a damage counter on my Kadabra. She smirked
and smiled the whole way through. I drew my card. Wadda know, I at the right
time, I got a Gust of Wind! I Gust of Winded out her Kakuna (who had only 10
Hp left) an KOed it. The little girl blurted out, "But you can't do
that!" "Yes, you can. Look, I Gust of Winded out you Kakuna who has
only 10 Hp left due to my Likitung, and dow since my Kadabra can do 50 damage,
that's more than 10 damage, which can easily knock out that Kakuna."
"Sigh." After I killed off her Weedle, she had no more benched
Pokemon.
Wins: 1 Loses: 0
Me vs. ????? (Grass, Electric)
This was the little girl's 15
year old brother. First he brought out Kangaskhan, but he never used Comet
Punch (jerk). Instead, he always used fetch! "You're gonna fetch yourself
to death before you know it," I remarked. I killed off Kangs with my
Likitung, and used by Golduck to kill off a Magnemite (actually, it used
self-destruct). Doing the Wave finished off all the rest of his Pokemon.
"My third loss of the day," he said.
Wins: 2 Loses: 0
Me vs. The GymLeader (Psychic, Fighting)
I was excited to play against him because I'd have
bragging rights to my friend who has a Ninetales. Anyhoo, he started out with
a Machop, and I started with my Likitung (again). He benched an Abra, Jynx,
Onix, and Drowzee. To make a long story short, he Confuse-rayed me with his
Alakazam, and I killed it off with much difficulty with my Kadabra. He never
got a prize, after I finished off the rest of his Pokemon. I never even
thought that I'd win this game.
Wins: 3 Loses: 0
And those are my matches for the day. All in all,
the newest version of MewDrill did pretty well. However, I must admit that I
need more Mr. Mimes, Chanseys, and Psyducks and Golducks to make it a winning
deck! And now, it's time for....
