First of all, I'd like to thank Michael Lucas for the deck idea and for helping make changes to the original design. This deck is completely his and I take no credit for it, other than my amazing playing skillahz. =P
 
This tournament was well organized. The Wizards people were here with their laptops and printers making their pretty charts so we could stomp each other.
 
Anyway, we sat down and talked. I hadn't played in around 5 months so I met up with some old buddies. Then at about 11:30 we started.
 
Round 1:
 
HitmonWiggly vs. ??? deck
 
All I saw was a Wooper and then it was over for him.
 
1-0
 
Round 2:
 
HitmonWiggly vs. another Sneasel/R Zapdos
 
These seemed overly popular here. I was killing some Sneasel booty ^_^; The 60 HP was too easy. And R Zapdos was easy for Wiggly in 2 turns. He never got them powered
 
2-0
 
Round 3:
 
HitmonWiggly vs. Sneasel deck again
 
Same as before. It lasted a bit longer because of the number of his Sneasels. He got all 4 out within 2 turns. But Wiggly ate them.
 
3-0
 
Round 4:
 
HitmonWiggly vs. my friend Roger with a raindance
 
I was pretty confident, having beaten him in tournaments before. He had obviously changed. He got out a Blastoise but I took care of it. My Wiggly was getting beaten but I managed to take care of alot. Then, his Articuno with 20 HP left got the best of my Wiggly. This is where my brain promptly stopped working. I had 2 Hitmonchans and a Scyther on the bench. I had a DCE and stuffs in hand. I put up HITMONCHAN, numbly thinking his 20 damage jab will get the Arti. I drew a Jiggly and announced, "Jab." Then he told me about the resistance and then his Articuno Gold Berried. My first loss, pretty sad.
 
3-1
 
Round 5:
 
HitmonWiggly vs. Elizabeth with the Sneasel/Mr. Mime
 
Well, there were 3 females in my class so I remembered her name. Anyways, it was going great... at first. I had full bench by turn 3 and her Pokemon were falling left and right. Then her Cleffa, and evil quarters got the best of me. Also, her Energy removaling too, I decked myself.
 
3-2
 
By this time I was bummed. The prelimanary(SP) rounds had ended and the cuts for the finals were being made. But I found out I was in by some miracle.
 
Finals round 1:
 
HitmonWiggly vs. Hunter with Slowking/TR Zapdos
 
Oh oh how I hate Slowking. It was going great for a while, until Slowking got out. I still had a chance. Then another came. I hadn't lost hope. Then a third. No trainers+no energy+Wiggly=loss.
 
I ended up walking away with 4 packs. My friends Hunter, Wei, and Matt made it farther, but none got the New Jersey tickets. I can't remember the winners, we all played around outside afterwards.
 
Props to:
 
The organizers, great tourney
All the players, great job
My friends for not winning the tickets and stranding me in Atlanta =P
 
Slops to:
 
The one kid attempting to cheat me. It was the first round dude. And first, he had different sleeves for some of his cards. Also, he didn't shuffle when I RSA'd him. Could of been simple mistakes... or...
 
Anyway, if you have any hate/love mail, questions or comments... either E-mail me at kimnk2000@mediaone.net or AIM me at revelations29. I also play DII on the West realm so /w *kimnk187 if you wanna play or need some items. Good luck out there, and don't use Slowking. Sell them to me, please. =))))
