This deck has won me one tournament, the only one I've entered in. This deck is a Water-Grass (with a Charmander and Charmeleon) Deck. I first started using it to let my friend (who is new at this) beat me (I let him use the deck). It contains: 2 Magikarp 1 Gyarados 3 Staryu 2 Starmie 3 Sqirtle 2 Wartortle 1 Blastoise 3 Tangela 1 Nidoran 1 Nidorino 1 Nidoking (use him for Toxic, then withdraw) 2 Bulbasaur 2 Ivysaur 1 Venusaur (use for Energy Trans) 1 Charmander 1 Charmeleon (for the 30 [or 60 on a grass deck]) 1 Bill 1 Energy Removal 16 Water Energy 15 Grass Energy The Breakdown: Trainers: 2 1 Bill 1 Energy Removal Pokemon: Basic: 14 2 Magikarp 2 Bulbasaur 1 Charmander 3 Staryu 3 Squirtle 3 Tangela First Stage: 8 2 Starmie 2 Wartortle 1 Nidorino 2 Ivysaur 1 Charmeleon Second Stage: 3 1 Venusaur 1 Blastoise 1 Nidoking The point of this deck is to Poison your opponent or dish out serious damage with your basic. (Staryu, Nidoran and Tangela come to mind here.) This is what happened in the tournament I participated in (and won!) We were playing best 2 out of 3 until we got down to the Quarters, then it went to 3 out of 5, then for the Semi's and the Finals, it was 4 out of 7. First Round: A good player who used a Fire Deck, and was very confident. Game 1: This guy could play! He got out 3 Magmars off the beginning, while I had a Staryu and a Tangela. You can preaty much guess what happened. He slaughtered me. Game 2: My payback. I got a Magikarp, Gyarados, Bill, Sqirtle and Wartortle in my hand as well as some energy. Second turn I had Gyarados with two energy on it, and a Blastoise. It was funny. I think I killed him in 8. Game 3: Got him again. I got a Blastoise out early, but he had a Charizard. My trick: I withdrew Blastoise, got him up to 5 Energy and sent him back out. Hydro Pump: 120 Damage: DEAD! After that it was all downhill for him. 2-1 Victory for me. Round 2- My best friend- A person with a Fire-Lightning Deck. I had lots of trouble with him, put I knew his Weakness. Game 1- I send out my Tangela, poisoned his Raichu and then used Bind. I flipped a heads every single turn! It was amazing. Then he got out Ninetales and Arcanine. Luckly I got my Gyaragos the next turn. 2 Hits, two down. I won soon after that. Game 2- Technical Win, as the judge caught him taking his prizes from the bottom. Round 3- Some Cheater who was caught by someone he beat using a different deck. Result: Disqualification. I won by default. Round 4- Some idiot who thought he could win with a Colorless deck. Game 1- He got a Porygon as his only basic Pokemon. I had a Tangela. My 3rd turn, Poison Powder. His Porygon didn't stand a chance. Game 2- I was beating him nicely until he got out 4 Chanseys. He sent one out, Put 2 Defenders on it, used Double Edge, killed my Venusaur. Then I send out Blastoise, next turn, he had used a Super Potion on his Chansey. It was full. He used Double Edge again. Then the next turn, he just used it again, and I was a gonner. Game 3- I drew an awesome hand: Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, 2 Tangela, 1 Staryu, 1 Starmie, and 1 Grass Energy. He didn't get a basic for 4 turns, so I had 2 Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, 2 Tangela, 2 Staryu, 1 Magikarp, 1 Gyarados, 4 Grass. I got out Ivysaur right away, and poisoned all his Pokemon (Poison is cool) I won in 4 turns, because he ran out. Round 5- Quarters. Some guy using a Mewtwo Deck. I was suprised he made it this far. Game 1- Before I caught on he was using a Mewtwo deck, I had already taken 4 Mulligans. I was a gonner. Game 2- This time I was ready. I didn't take any Mulligans. He started using Barrier, and I got out a Blastoise. I built him up to 5 Water Energy, used an Energy Removal and killed his Mewtwo. Game 3- I did the game thing, only now he got desperate. He used Psychic on a Gyarados and payed. Game 4- Like I said, I don't know how he got so far. I killed him when he had to stop Barrier. I win: 3-1 Round 6- Semis. I was playing a guy who liked to try and cheat. Game 1- Caught him looking at his Prizes. Technical Win. (1-0) Game 2- He did everything right this time, and got lucky. My only Pokemon was a Staryu and he had a Pikachu. I died (1-1) Game 3- Caught him sneaking cards into his hand. Technical Win. (2-1) Game 4- This time I won fair and square. I got a Venusaur out, and transfered all my Grass Energy to it. I was doing 60 Damage a turn, and none of his Pokemon could stand against it. (3-1) Game 5- This time, the only Pokemon he had was a Diglet. I had a Tangela. Easy win for me. I win: 4-1. Finals: Round 7. My best friend again. Game 1- He got out his Raichu, Ninetales and Arcanine right at the beginning. I didn't stand a Chance. (0-1) Game 2- I only had a Sqirtle. He had a Pikachu. Bad luck for me. He beat me in 2 turns. (0-2) Game 3- This time my hand was awesome, only it was all Grass. I had 2 Tangela, 2 Bulbasaur, 2 Ivysaur, 1 Grass Energy. He had (on his bench) 2 Charmander, 2 Magmar and his Active was a Magmar. My Pokemon couldn't stand against 60 Damage per turn. I was wasted. (0-3) Game 4- This time I thought I'd be dead, but my friend was over-confident. He made bad mistakes like forgetting to attack me and he payed. (1-3) Game 5- This time he was so mad, he forgot to put down his prizes. Technical Win for me. (2-3) Game 6- I won this match fair and square. He had all Fire, but I was ready! I had Gyarados, 2 Squirtle and a Wartortle. I was doing 80 damage on all his Pokemon in one turn. Boom-bang-boom. He was downed. (3-3) Game 7- The last game. It was very close. Last Prize for each of us. No bench left-I had an Ivysaur with 50 left, he had a Charmeleon with 40 left. I used Poison Powerder, 20 plus 10 for the poison. His Charmeleon killed me, and died too. Sudden Death. I got a Staryu (and Starmie), he got a Charmander. I evolved my Staryu as soon as it was going to die, then Recovered. After that, I took a big chance usuing Star Freeze, as his Pokemon had 30 HP left. It worked! I paralyzed his Charmander, and killed it the next turn. I had won! My prize was: A Trophy: It had Ash on it doing his Pokéball pose, and it had the Pokémon Logo on it. I also got a Pokéball that opened when you pushed the button on it (it's also an Auto Dealer!) You open it, and then put the deck in. When you push a button on the back, a card comes out the bottom. I also got: 20 Booster Packs 10 Jungle Booster Packs. 1 Jungle Deck. 1 of Each of the Holograms. and a Hat like Ash's The Poisoner ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
