issue of Scrye.My name is Chris Hoffman and if you look at the picture my
hair was really long then and I know I look really stupid and pissed.
    I have not won the tourney at heroes since and and that really sucks but
I won today. This is my first time playing magmars in my haymaker. I really
did not want to take out electrabuzz but I had to if I wanted to win since
everyone at heroes used chan. Heres my Firefighters haymaker.

ENERGY
11 fire
9 fighting ( why do I use less fight than fire? I NEVER use special punch)
4 double colorless

I dont have 4.For me its worked alot better.)
3 chan
3 magmar
3 scyther
2 ditto(to use against other haymakers,raindance,or moltres decks)

TRAINERS
4 plus power
4 energy removal
3 super energy removal

2 gust of wind
2 item finder
2 computer search
1 energy retrieval
1 imposter professor oak

This is my 5th time winning the tournament here at heroes but as I said
earlier I havent won here since august 7th. Everone here thinks I suck and
said I would not make it very far.

Heres how it went
Round 1 vs David-this kid is playing a fight/electric with Aerodactyl
He starts the match with only a fossil of something,I ask him if he has any
more basics, he says no. I dont kill it though I have mercy on him and let
him evolve to aerodactly,which I then killed with scyther.

ROUND 2 vs Sean-some sort of wiggly deck.I won this match by taking all 6
prizes. Dont remember much of this match it was soo easy but I got my 6th by
killing a mewtwo with special punch(I actually used it in this match because
he had no resistance in his deck and no removals)and 2 plus powers.

ROUND 3 vs biker dude-this guys running basically the same deck as me just
stock style, no dittos.
He starts only a magmar I start a scyther and benched ditto. I retreat
scyther double colorless on ditto,smog-his magmars poisened. He removals then
smokescreens and takes 10 dmg.Hes got 40 on him I compy search for double
colorless use smog flip(because he smokesreened)and its heads-win.

ROUND 4 vs my friend justin-playing grass/electric with scyther,
electrabuzz,ditto,and chansey.
He wins flip and starts scyther, I started active hitmo,benched magmar. He
swords dances,I sence that scyther may be all he has so I go for it oaking
twice but not pulling a scoop up.I feel that I may get decked anyway now so I
energy removal, item finder oak use it(my third)and finally pull what I need
scoop chan attach to magmar and use smokescreen.Yes! He doesnt draw basic he
swords dances. My turn attach fire do 40 with a power plus and its dead-win.

ROUND 5 vs bob he runs basically same deck as mine it goes 4,4,4 and no
dittos,it also has very few energy.
This was my closest match of the day. It came down to his 2 scythers vs my
scyther he has 2 prizes left I have1. I have 6 cards left in my deck and
think he may stall me out. I do 30 his active scyther which had no energy on
it, his benched scyther had no dmg and 1 energy.He reatreats for his other
scyther and I fear he may use super removal and stall me out(no more energy
in my deck)but he attaches dbl colorless and plus power and does 40. I compy
search for plus power gust benched scyther and kill it-win.

ROUND 6 final vs Little C playing fight/elec with 4,4,4 of electabuzz,
hitmonchan and ditto.

I win flip and start only basic magmar vs his only basic ditto. I attach fire
and smokescreen. He removals and smokescreens it works. I removal attach fire
and smokescreen it doesnt work he attaches dbl colorless and smogs it works
and Im poisoned. My only basic is magmar so I have to go for it I search for
oak attach fire oak attach 2 plus powers then oak attach another power
plus(thats 3 and 2 fire energy) oak again,nothin.The ditto has 10 on it so I
have to rely on luck. The coin flips heads(this is my new favorite coin its
won me a lot of flips)-win.

I get 15 dollars store credit 2nd place gets 10.I get black deck protecters
and a pack of first ed fossil and pull non-holo dragonite. My name is Chris
