This is a start for the jungle haymakers and I hope it will get stronger!  Now for the report!
 
Round 1-VS Alex M. with a pure Fire deck...hoping to play a pure grass deck...
Beat him down fast and hard with Hitmonchan and Electabuzz while keeping Scyther sitting in my hand,  just in case this guy has Gust of Wind...He doesn't stand a chance.
OUTCOME: WIN
 
Round 2-VS Cal M. (Alex's brother) with what...a pure fire deck...using the Ponyta line now...
He stalls a bit with his Rapidash's agility, but I gust of wind three times making him bring 3 ponyta's for 3 kills....what luck then It was all downhill from there...
OUTCOME:WIN
 
Round 3-VS Ricky ?.  with a Mono/Grass deck
Venomoth was giving my Chan a lot of trouble, but I held out until Scyther and Buzz came out and won the day...He lost like all his evolutions with a bad Oak...to bad, should have remembered...To oak or to not to oak, that is the question.
 
Round 4-VS ???? with a fire/fighting deck
His magmar gives Scyther gives a little trouble, but free retreat cost rocks and I bring out Chan and Farfetch'd to save the day...and a little help from potions and ER's.
 
Final Round-VS Pat M. a Grass deck
This kid really new his stuff, since I told him about the Oddish/Gloom/Vileplume combo.  His Gloom kept on confusing me then he would turn into Vileplume and kick some but, but luckily My Scyther and energy removals came along and kicked some more but, but the scyther got his but kicked, but....enough buts...It was a see saw match but he oaked, bill and comp searched to many times and his deck was dwindling...he paniced and played with half his brain and I beat him, not the deck win but he did have 2 cards left win I got my last prize...
 
So I won this tourny which is nice since last week I lost...last place actually...well at least one of the last place finishers...I won only 5 boosters for first place, the store decreased the prizes substantially and I got some more boosters from the certificate I won at an earlier tourny...
