Icelandspar here... proud member of Team Rocket, Triple A, and President of
the Hairclub for Eevees (I'm not only the President, I'm also the Vice
President.)  As always, I am with my good ole' Vileplume.  Fear his creepy
mushroom shaped noggin and mind-numbing mental telepathy!!... ...

~~I am the evil flower what poisons school childrens' milk!~~

I'm a fan of "original" deck designs and love to use fire, grass and
sometimes electric decks.  So naturally I made a deck for Nidoqueen and her
powerful promiscuous "boyfriends" attack.  Makes sense, eh?

~~Beez are scarey...~~

Indeed, my psychodelic partner in crime!  So here is my dasteredly "Heart
Crusher V2" deck.  I had it completely re-vamped from former tournaments.

12 Grass energy (Sounds bad, I know but its almost NEVER a problem.)

4-2-2 Nidoqueen
4-2-4 Nidoking
3-2 D. Dragonair (Base Dratini prefered)

4 Comp. Search
4 Item Finder
4 Breeder
4 Switch
3 Prof. Oak
3 Bill
3 NGR

12 + 23 + 25 = 60 cards

The deck concept is simple, BURN THE DECK!!  If you can manage to get up 3
Nidokings and 1 Nidoqueen like I usually do in the first 4-5 turns, you'll
be set.  Nidoqueen, ofcourse, has the "boyfriends" attack which does 20 plus
another 20 for every Nidoking you have in play.  The potential is that you
could do a total of 100 damage with 2 energy cards on nidoqueen.  However, I
am more weary and only count on 80 damage.

~~~EVIL!!!  EVIL, I TELLS YA'!!... EEEVVVVIIIILLL!!~~~

Darn-tootin', vileplume!  Dark Dragonair pulls evolution cards from the deck
and breeders evolve them faster.  I worked around some cards for the new
version and was able to squeeze in 4 Switch cards.

~~I eat dirt!~~

Now you can forget that annoying retreat cost.  Anyway, I faced about 5
peoples and won the first 4... started drooling over the cool porygon, got
overconfident and lost the fifth match.

match 1 vs kid (magneton deck)

If this kid had put more buzzez in his deck I would have had a harder time. 
He didn't.  He charged up a base zapdos.  During this I built up my nidoran
female and managed a couple nidorinos.  He got an electabuzz and started
beating up on my dratini.  I got 10 damage on it before he flipped tails on
thunderpunch and did 10 to himself.  I managed to get nidoqueen and 2 kings
up.  He didn't have enough on zardos yet and all he had for energy was 1
dce... I squished his buzz with a whooping 60 damage and pulled a king from
the prizes.  He put up zapdos and started a magnemite.  I got the third king
up and put a major dent in his base zapdos.  He gave up due to lack of
energy.

match 2 vs his older brother (same kind of deck)

It took longer to build my bench this time but I managed to use the same oak
4 times using item finders. (strange, eh?)  He wasted a dratini and a
dragonair before I got everything powered up.  Then it was my turn with 3
kings and a queen... he kept retreating zapdos and got a scoop up I think,
but no matter, he had no chance against 80 damage moves.

match 3 vs Beth (Some sort of creepy psychic deck)

Beth is brighter and realized she had to get through my dratini quickly to
do heavy damage to the psychicly weak nido-family.  She built up a kadabra
and took her anger out on dratini.  But I focused energy on a second dratini
and built it to d. dragonair.  She started another abra and I took out
kadabra with luck and no queeny.  By the time she brought up a second
kadabra, I had 2 kings and a queen.  Everything else she threw out didn't
help her much.

match 4 vs Beth's husband Mike (One of them-thar stall decks with Snorlax.)

He had trouble with my dratini and dragonairs, but managed to pound them
with snorlax after a while.  He had to scoop snorlax and didn't get him
powered enough by the time I was ready to squish him and all his drowsee
minions.

match 5 vs same guy, same deck (I felt bad and he asked for a rematch)

I figured his deck had no chance and I could get my 5th win in a row
easy!... lets just say I ended up hurting for basic pokemon for EIGHT
TURNS... I used 2 bills and used 3 itemfinders to get the bills back, hoping
to get something good.  I guess I didn't shuffle well enough.  He beat me on
the eighth turn with a Arcanine (I don't know where it came from in a
snorlax deck).  My next card would have been nidoran female.  I was furious
but I was a good sport.

I've used this deck for over two months and have beaten so many opponents...
but I have lost a few times against those annoying wiggly decks and those
ratty haymakers.  I've won against more haymakers though.  This deck HATES
electabuzz and speeded dark raichu because most of my basic pokemon have 40
HP.

~~I dig juice~~

Whew... there you go, peoples!... I encourage you all to make interesting
decks because its more fun and rewarding... even when you lose.

(I hate props and slops)
thanx to wizards for making stupid hard to use cards that seem to work.
thanx to Shawn for so many good matches.
thanx to the cartoon show for keeping me semi-entertained at work.
thanx to all my competition.

no thanx to wiggly/buzz/chan fans
no thanx to wizards for LOWERING THE VALUE OF MY COOL PORYGONS!!!
no thanx to that kid that called me a jerk cause I wouldn't trade my
venomoth for his stupid double colorless energy.
no thanx to the high gas prices!...

~~Spam is made from moss and twigs.~~

???... ... Go put James asleep again, vileplume... Jesse and I are going out
for a couple drinks...

~~Sure, Icey, sir... I live to give!~~

Bye, ALL!!
