1st round: The strongest wall vs daniel ( dk plume
)
Well, he deck was very creative, his idea was to get dk plume
as soon as possible, then put
snorlax in the active pokemon, and dk gloom
and drowzee (rocket) on the bench. Well, in the first
match i got sneasel,
cleffa, and slowpoke. Well, i won the flip. He was with snorlax, in the
active, oddish and drowzee on the bench. Well, my hand was good, i had
elm cpu darkness nrg and
charge. Well, i did cpu, picked onix, put on
the bench than tried charge, sucefull, so i elmed.
My hand was good: no
removal, steelix, double, metal, darkness, slowpoke and gust. I attached
darkness on sneasel and did 30. He was good too, i dont remember his hand,
but was good, he had
cpu and oak. Well, in the 3rd turn he was good, he had
many things drowzee, dk gloom and other
drowzee on the bench. His snorlax
had G berry. I was good, steelix with 3 metal ( oh thats too
good ), sneasel
with 2 darkness, slowking and cleffa. Well this match was very long, his dk
gloom
confused me and drowzee sleeped my too many times. With a hard work i
won. Well, there's the 2nd
match. This i dont remember, but i lost, my hand
was bad, just poke and onix,etc. Well, when we
were in the last match to
decide who will win, time over.
This match finished 1-1 =/
2nd round: The strongest wall vs newbie ( grass deck
)
Well, this match was too easy. He started w/ pinsir,
giovanni's pinsir and clefairy on the bench,
he pumped his pinsir with 4
grass, and i evolved steelix, i had 4 metal on him, my hand was a
paradise
for any tcg player. Nuff to say, i won the 1st and the 2nd match.
2-0
3rd round: The strongest wall vs mauricio ( magby, chan,
gligar and sneasel )
Well, i know him, and i know that he's not a bad player. The
first match, i evolved king and
steelix, he sneaked me many times, even with
king in play , i'm too bad with flips,i got sneasel,
beat up most of his
pokemon, and won the 1st. Well, the 2nd match i had a bad hand, got elm,
but
he pumped sneasel too fast and plus power too many times. Well, i wasnt
excited with the decisive
match, because i was afraid with the time. I
started good, and him too. Well, this match was very
long, well, i was with 4
cards left, and 1 prize, the lucky of steelix helped me. He was with
sneasel
with 2 darkness, but he had 10 damage left, and scyther and chan on bench, he
retreated,
put scyther, passed, i did 50 on scyther, he put chan, 50 again!
what a luck! He passed, i did
tackle, and ko'ed him.
2-1
4th round: The strongest wall vs Leon ( sneasel, murkrow,
gastly fossil, slowking )
Well, i was afraid, because all deck's that he build are good.
But if i win this match, i'll be
the champion. I dont like to play under
pressure.
The first match, i couldn't evolve king because he evolved first.
This match was a little long,
he was with a very bad hand, me not. I started
to build up a steelix on the bench and my little
cleffa just eeeeeeeking me
some metal nrg's , after some eeeeeeek's i was ready for action.
2 pumped
sneasel's and a steelix with 4 metal and a DCE. He mean looked my cleffa and i
couldn't
retreat because of his slowkings. But after i finally retreated, and
sneasel's and steelix did
the ''job''. I was very happy with my luck, but i
was afraid about this match. I got a bad hand
in the first turn, and his was
good. My slowpoke didnt survive from sneasel's anger. =/. Now i
was too
nervous. Our hands was not good, not bad. After 2 or 3 turns i got CPU and he
got oak i
think. This match being too long. And i couldnt evolve slowking,
cause they were the last cards.
I was afraid to lost by decking, so i thing
to keep slowpoke and slowking on my hand to do eeeee
eek, but i didnt need, i
got a sneasel, did nrg charge, pumped him, and beat up most of his pkmns
so i
won!
2-1
