The Key Strategy: Ok,
you’ve seen this deck on numerous ECSTS deck reports, thus no need to explain
myself.
Lots
of People there tonight. Watched a few pre-games and then it started.
Round 1
vs. Typhlosion Deck with B’s Arcanine
He
starts with Growlithe and gets to go first. He builds up his bench with Cyndaquils and stokes.
I had a Totodile or something I think. Turn 3 I had a fully pumped Feraligatr and another one about to get pumped. Even his Typhlosions
were no match for Fera. =/
Record: 1-0 3
points
Round 2
vs. Feraligatr
Was a
close game at first..then it
started going between each other’s elekid flips. We kept getting tials
until he had a luck streak and 0wned me.
Time was called soon when the prize count was 2-4 in his favor.
Record: 1-1 3
points
Round 3
vs. Weird Grass Deck
This
guy had a grass deck which worried me at first.
But he wasn’t able to get past my cleffa’s
baby rule and I was able to build up toto into croco and then fera,
and 0wned his few pokeyman like wh0a. Pretty quick victory, for
going against grass.
Record: 2-1 6
points
During the extra
time I had, I played a rematch, and won again.
Round 4
vs. Another Fire Deck
Pretty
sad, I just 0wned him like wh0a at the beginning. I got a turn 3 croco
doing sweep away, while all he had was a
Record: 3-1 9
points
I talked with Dave
Messinger a bit and he said he wanted to see how his tyranitar could hold against a fera deck.
Surprisingly, we ended up playing each other in the last round.
Round 5
vs. Dave Messinger with Tyranitar
Pretty
quick Match. We both
started with crap, but I got some better crap around turn 4 and 5 and got croconaw out eventually after that. All he had was a magby,
a cleffa, and 2 unown D. I
quickly went through them like a hot knife through butter. (bad
analogy =/)
Record: 4-1 12
points
I came in second
for my age group, for which I won a few promos for winning, including the new misdreavus and a flying pikachu promos.
