Report:

The day started fine, my dad got me to Name of the Game just in time for the tournament, but then i heard the tournament was Unlimited!!! AAAAAAUUGHH!!! I had only brought my DB Destruction deck....but then my friend Matt said i could lend his Light Golduck deck and so an hour later the tournament started:

ROUND 1: V.S. ??? w/ Umbreon/Slowking deck:

One of the quickest matches ive ever played, he started off w/ only one Eevee while i had Gligar and Cleffa out. He Elmed but coudnt do ANYTHING on his first turn, and I then attached DCE and Gligar'ed him. We eventually had a rematch for fun in which he decked me out...

W1, L0

ROUND 2: V.S. Danny w/ Revampted Haymaker

I had to wait A LOOOOOOOONG time for Danny to finish his first round match, but soon we started. Danny had Electabuzz who kept this match a "who-will-lure-the-other's-powerhouse" sort-of match, even though i killed 2 of his Sneasels, my inexperiance with this deck and my near Deck-Out let Danny Buzz me for the win by prizes.

W1, L1

ROUND 3: V.S. ??? w/ Sneasel/Baby Deck

I may have lost but i was in the 3rd PLACE MATCH!!! My opponent was good. He kept on sicking his Sneasels on me but each time they were blasted by Golduck and others, this was the one match that i got A LOT of Golduck action...I won because of preventing another Deck-Out and a clever Pokemon Tower play that made his Recycle Energies useless.....

W2, L1

3rd Place!! Wooohoo!!!! I should have put more recovery cards (Capsule, Item Finder,etc.) in this deck but the slightest down in this tournament was the 3rd place prize......3 store credits!! 3 STORE CREDITS!!! that was barely enough to buy a LC booster in which i got a Reverse-Holo Mysterious Fossil.....O_O'' (how pathetic....)

Thanx for reading,
