I finally get to do a Killer Deck
report, I've had about three major
modifications since my last Magnolia deck (like adding rocket scythers or
Hitmonchans...) but I finally got the cards to build a true wigglytrap deck.
I have changed the deck around A LOT since I could've used some waaay better
trainers now that gym came out. The result is the following:
Pokemon(15)
4 Jigglypuff
4 Wigglytuff
4 Scyther
3 Ditto
Trainer (30)
4 Oak
4 Bill
4 Comp. Search
4 Pluspower
4 RSA
4 Rockets Trap
2 GOW
2 Erika
2 Item Finder
Energy(15)
5 Grass
4 DCE
4 Full Heal
2 Potion Energy
Some might argue that the pokemon
amount for thia wiggly deck is too
less, or the energy amount is less, not true. This kind of deck is great for
the STS environment (not great if there's prop 15). It's also speedy enough
to bypass the lack of pokemon due to trainer disruptions and searches. Also,
my Magnolia decks have an unbeaten winning streak of 24-0, and I've played
experts too. The basic keys are the traps and the sneak attacks. On to the
battle:
Magnolia vs. Magmar Haymaker
He started off with a magmar, hence the name. I have a
scyther out. I
win the coin flip, and I draw a card. It was a GOW. He only had a ditto on
the bench, so it wouldn't do me any good. I attached a full heal on Jiggly
and did a RSA which removed his removal. He draws and puts down an electabuzz
and uses smokescreen for 20. I retreat, send out jiggly. comp search for a
DOC, GOW the electabuzz up, and oak. I get two dittos. I trap (failed) and
then oaked again for a full bench. I also got wiggly with a pluspower on the
way and drew a prize. He removed my DOC and smokescreens with magmar. I
attach another DOC and do a RSA, removing his GOW. I attach pluspower and try
to attack, it works (whew) and knocked it out. He sends out a ditto with no
bench and does lullaby. I attach a full heal to Wiggly, serach for a aok, and
get a pluspower. I item finder for another for the win.
1-0
Magnolia vs. Raindance
He won the coinflip and went first. he attached an energy on
squirtle and
passed. I have a scyther out (practically every single time) and trap him
(works) and sneak attack him, making him shuffle back a breeder, a blastoise,
and an oak. I oak myself and get a jiggly with DOC. he draws and puts down
an articuno on his bench and attaches an energy on squirtle to do 20. I comp.
search for a wiggly, attach it with an energy to knock it out. He sent out an
Articuno, with basically three cards in his hand (guessing they're energys)
and attached one on Articuno. I oaked for a pluspower and won.
2-0
Magnolia vs. Mr.Mime deck
I won the coin flip. He had a ditto out, I had a Scyther out
(again) with
a ditto and a Jiggly on my bench. I attach a grass on scyther and did swords
dance. He attached an energy on his only pokemon, mr.mime, and passed. I
attach a DCE with pluspower and knock him out. He sent out a Mr.mime with
another energy and did meditate. I draw an oak and I use it, before that, I
had sent out a Jigglypuff. I attach a DCE on it and did pound. he drew and
couldn't do anything.
3-0
Magnolia vs. Rocket Blastoise deck
I almost decked myself in this match. I start off with a
Jigglypuff
(surprisingly). I win the coin flip. I do an RSA and a trap (worked),
depleting his oak and three other cards. I oak and get a ditto and a scyther,
along with a wiggly. I attach a potion to Jiggly and pass. He put all five
basic pokemon on his bench with a Jungle evee to stall. I get turn two wiggly
with a DCE but failed on the coin flip. To make a long story short, he got a
Rocket blastoise fairly quickly, along with rocket Gyrados and Jungle
Vaporeon (yikes). Fortunately, my traps and sneak attacks managed to fend of
energys and trainers. In the end, I drew my last card. Luckily, I had an item
finder. I use it for a pluspower to knock out the rocket Blastoise.
4-0
Magnolia vs. Wigglydeck (although he didn't get to play it on time)
He had a lone Scyther out. I go first, with a Scyther out
too. I attach
grass to do swordsdance. He does the same with an RSA to remove my comp
search. I draw, go an Erika, and used it. I attached a pluspower and oaked to
get the DCE for the win.
5-0
The matches mentioned above may seem
short, but they were hecka long,
enough to take up the entire 2 hours (actually, I did some trades too).
Except for the last one, which was a piece of cake. My record went up to
29-0, making wigglytrap arguably one of the most reliable deck possible.
Sure, there are lots of cards that can stop it like oak's revenge or other
traps, but it's still slowly dominating unless prop15 takes over the Pokemon
league...
Props and Slops
Props to Traps (although they're cheap sometimes)
Props to Wiggly
Props to Scyther
Props to Haymaker (It's my backup deck)
Slops to a certain movie called "Magnolia", but the name sounds cool
for some
reason. Maybe I should title it "Deuce Wiggalo, male Jiggalo" or
something
like that.
Slops to anyone who trys to use that name, I'll be watching
