Hey, PoJo. I've submitted my deck, Lethal Injection before...but we'll all
be honest...it wasn't too great. Well, my new deck, Morphing Massacre is
100% undefeated, all the versions of it. This is the first version, and some
of the later ones have some fire energy replacing some water, but they are
pretty much the same. Here is my deck, and, yes, it was expensive. I bought
2 chars, and 2 blasts, and all of em are base set 2. (base set 1 would have
put me in debt). I got real lucky with some gym boosters, and I bought onea
the ninetales. I love my deck, and I play whenever possible. BEHOLD!

Pokemon:
4 Brock's Vulpx (50 HP)
4 Brock's Ninetales (Transform makes this whold deck possible)
4 Blastoise (takes advantage of Morph)
4 Charizard (same as Blastoise, but moreso)
3 Chansey (needed more basics, and something to buy time for the big boys)

Trainers:
4 Nightly Garbage Run
4 Computer Search
2 Proff. Oak
1 Gambler (I got more oaks, but I figure it could help me prevent decking
myself, AND in case I got a char, but no ninetails)
2 Switch
3 Brock's Training Method (GOTTA get the ninetails out)
2 Gust Of Wind

Energy:
19 Water
4 Double Colorless

Explaination:
ok, I know you may be laughing, or yelling at how much better you coulda
made the deck, but I started out with a dream: MAKE A SWEET DECK, THAT WILL
STOP THE TEAZING! I have been known to lose, and I never liked it much. So,
I made a GOOD deck. The main idea of the whole thing, is RainDance. I know,
I know, it only works with water. What you do, is transform to Blastoise,
slap on loads of water energy, discard the Blastoise, (or leave him on, he's
sweet by himself)slap on a charizard, and FireSpin like crazy! 1 of the best
powers is made popular in an archtype, but another was never REALLY
exploitable. Now, you can firespin for several turns, or hydro pump, all
with the same guy! God bless you, Brock's Ninetails, God bless you.

Now, for the tourney.
Being the winner of the previous tourney, I got a buy out of the round
robin, which basically was the elimination grounds of the little kids.
Darn pikachu-huggers...one of em had a surfin, and one of ALL the pikachus
from the expansions! GRRRRRR!


Prelims VS Jared
This guy ran something like my deck, but instead of chansey, he had Ditto,
and only 2 chars, and 3 ninetails. poor guy, though...got 3 dittos first
hand, and I laid the smack down with a blastoise, and 1 char. (he had not
nearly enough energy)
easy win.

Quarter-finals Vs Bob
This guy is a good friend, and I love crushin him, with his wiggly
tuff/clefable deck. he has a scyther to get rid of weakness, but today he
decided to use farfetch'd for some reason. On 3rd turn (I won the toss) I
had 8 water, and a double C on a charizard, and I firespinned for victory.

Semi-Finals VS AL
this guy's haymaker could stomp my deck, with his 1 dangerous card.
Aerodactyl (eeep!). I was paranoid of losing, and I never did get a
charizard, I just kept gusting his fossils, and hydro pumping. he got 2
hitmonchans out (both jabbed twice) but no real threat to my blastoise.
I win

Finals VS Troonit (I hope I spelled his name right)
this guy is new to the area, but he brought a good deck to the tourney. He
had Mega Sponge. 4 breeder for alakazam, 4 Mr. Mime, and 4 tentacool (to get
rid of the damage for free; I used a deck like this once). This battle was
hard as heck, he got that dang Mr. Mime out 1st turn, and I hadta wait till
my vulpix put him to sleep, and I got my blastoise, to kill him.Alakazam
took forever to kill (he only got 1 ready), cuz he had them dang tentacool,
and I was confused. I ended up gusting them, and firespinning the alakazam.
when, he got ANOTHER Mr. Mime. with 3 cards left in my deck, I got him to
sleep (after like 5 turns trying)and blastoise's hydro pump finished him
off.

VICTORY IS MINE!

I was quite pleased with myself, another tourney, another win.
I got 10 Gym boosters, and my choice of any base set 1 deck (1st edition)
(which I left unwrapped, and I chose Blackout) My gym boosters gave me a
Rocket Scyther, Rocket Hitmonchan, a sabrina's Gengar (the one with amplify
dammage, and 80 HP) and some fairly good trainors.

Props to all the people I faced, they were all good, but Jared got unlucky
Props to Card Collector's Corner for the boosters, AND the deck, AND for
having the chars and blasts that I bought (at a good price)
Props to Wizards Of The Coast for making this Killer card game appear in
Canada/US
Slops to those silly kids who make decks with nothing but Pikachu (I like
the idea that they got a theme, but it's PIKACHU!!!)
Slops to a guy who almost got me banned from the tourney by slipping some
grass energy into my deck, making it 65 cards)
Slops to anyone who cheats
