    The tourney was small, but interesting, around 5-6 people. It was a great draft though, it was only $5 bucks as well, making it fit in alot of peoples budget. We each got 5 boosters, and before we even started Kelly a worker at the store opened a pack and pulled a Murkrow, and then gave it to me ^_^. Nrgy cards were provided and allowed me to be lazy and not even make a trip to my bag for extra cards. I cant remember all the cards in my packs, but my first pack had a Kingdra, and some others so I drafted the Kingdra right off the bat. Then ended up with some other cards, some good, some just weird. My second pack was a weird one. It had a T-Capsule, so I just took an Horsea passed it along. And long story short ended up with some good NG cards that I really didnt have, Typhlosion Lvl. 57, Kingdra, and some others with the splash of 2 Murkrow, one that I was gaven pre-tourney and one I pulled ^_^!

I could of gotten all the rares.. but simpley put I was in it for the drafting and not really to sap all the rares. When it came down to deckbuilding I had realized I had drafted, alot of crap. At first I wanted to get a King deck, but after all the pulling I had 2 Slowpoke but no Slowking so they remained in the "No Use" pile. My last minute pull of Typhlosion hit hard, because ShadowWolf had drafted most of the Quilava's and didnt give me a chance to grab them for my own use. So I scrounged to get a 4/1/1 line -_-.. But ended up just putting in the "No Use" pile as well. I thought about using Togepi, so I drafted one, and again, long story short, I ended up drafting just the right amount of Horsea/Seadra/Kingdra. So I just main-streamed them. I was going to throw in my 'Krow's but the only Darkness that was drafted went counter-clock wise were as I would of got the Nrgy if it went two over clock wise >_<. Gligars were scooped up over rares thus I decided to grab two Miracle Berry's for Kingdra and then toss in a Berry. Pikachu was Tech for Wooper, and vice versa for Wooper. Now on to the report..

Round 1 - Match 1

ShadowWolf

Well, ShadowWolf drafted Fire, and a Magby. My hand made my mouth drop and I believed I had this match from the start. I started with a Wooper, and a Pikachu active and he started with a Cyndaquil army. High Roll, as for results, I was really un-sure but remeber going first. I first turned a Horsea, played it and then placed a Recycle Nrgy on Pikachu, I Quick Attacked for a first turn 10 damage. He placed an energy and Leer'ed,  tails. I draw and place a Water on Horsea, as for my hand now, it was still gold. I evolved into a Seadra and then placed a Miracle Berry on my Pikachu. I Quick Attacked for 20. He picks-up and lays down a Fire on his Cyndaquil, Swift really took out my Pikachu with its 20 damage for 2 Nrgy making it possible for a quick hit where as Pikachu's Tails 10 makes it really "Iffy". He before hand placed a Hoothoot on bench without realizing he had a weakness but filled his bench none the less. My turn went pretty nice, I placed a Water on my Seadra and layed down Kingdra. Then I used Quick for 10 were as it really didnt matter because he had 30 already. I picked up an Nrgy as prize and he sent out a HootHoot. He placed a Fire on his Hoothoot and then tried Hypnosis, heads. I  ended up placing an Nrgy on my Kingdra. I flipped and awoke to Quick Attack, heads. One hit K.O. He draws and plays his 'Cynda, then Super Roding back his Hoothoot laying it on the bench. Then using Swift-Well.. again, long story short it came down to my Kingdra Vs. his Quil'.. Game.

1-0-0 3 Points.

Round 2 - Match 1

Mike

Mike was playing, some sort of Fighting variant with a Sneasle only for Fury Swipes. I openend with the worst hand ever. Basically he had a full bench of Gligar's and I had Clefairy, with some Woopers, he ended up taking out my bench with Elekid, and some Gligar's tossed in the mix with the only Cleffa drafted. I tried taking out his Gligars but he had a Neo Genesis Haymaker almost, Miltank and an army of Gligars,I tried, least I can say.

1-0-1 3 Points

Round 3 - Match 1

Barry

This was odd, because of the lack of players the finals were mostly all but 2 people. =/! Barry's deck was so simple, and so controversial. A Jumpluff deck that used Pikachu, Wooper, Natu, and .. everything almost. He had 4 of every energy but the main centerfold was Jumpluff for the 1 Nrgy requirements. The feeling I had about Special Effects was so true in this case, he drafted 4 Stantler, and ended up winning with Stantler, I had no Miracle Berry's and thus K.O'd myself 3 times! =/!!

    Second Place is okay and all.. but ;[

Props/Slops

Props for Mike buying the NG Booster Box and then providing a good tourney enviorment for pennies.

Props to Barry for making such a good deck, with the most weirdest card in Neo, Stantler. =/

Props to ShadowWolf for pulling a Steel Nrgy and not being stuck-up about it, or taunting with it.

Props to Atomic Comics for letting us Draft and make all kinds of racket in the back room.

Slops to myself for not drafting Sneasle or Dark Nrgy ;[

Slops to no one. I dont like slops. =/
