Well its me again with my fire/water deck Advanced Lockdown. The **
shudder**  was in toys r us San Francsico CA on the 29th of January.
About 15 people were there, smaller than the last turnout. Heres the
deck.

14 Fire E
12 Water E
3 Fossil Magmar (a must for any fire deck)
3 Eevee (ok card locks down sometimes with tail wag)
1 Vaporeon (for power)
1 Flareon (power on the fire side)
3 Ponyta (for Rapidash)
2 Rapidash (im my opinion, tied for first with magmar (f) for best fire
Pokemon. Great attacks and everything else. No downside!!)
3 Poliwag (weak but oh well)
2 Poliwhirl (amnesia stops some people cold)
1 Poliwrath (whirpool denies energy and Poliwrath is a heavy hitter!!)
2 Horsea (i just like the little cute guy)
1 Seadra (rapidash wannabee)
3 E.R.
2 S.E.R. (to annoy people and helps the theme)
1 Switch (mostly to switch lockdown poke to power poke once ready)
2 G.O.W (lockdown a helpless or being built up poke)
2 Bill (well duh)
1 Oak (see above)
1 Mr. Fuji (i tend to retreat a lot with magmar/rapidash/horsea)

The report
Round 1 leaf deck
This guy was like 17 so i thought i would lose. We start of 2 grimers
vs. my magmar and benched eevee and poliwag. He gets scared cause im
playin fire and sticks with grimers and zubats. I take em down with
magmar. He gets a metapod and im slowly building up a poliwrath. metapod
takes out magmar but out comes rapidash. Metapod has 10 left. Evolves
into butterfree, megadrain. But i ko him with agility. I take out a
pinsir with a magmar and for fun destroy grimer with poliwrath. EZ
Win by prizes 1-0

Round 2 Aero Hay
Another around 17 year old. This was close. i get eevee him electabuzz.
I tail wag heads. I quick attack heads. he t-punches tails. I get ponyta
and start getting ready for rapidash which i had in my opening hand. I
quick attack heads. Electabuzz is out but he has himtonchan which i
didnt notice. eevee is ko'd but he gets energy hosed and rapidash wins
for me again.
Win by lack of basic 2-0

Round 3 Fighting Leaf
This guy didnt really know how to play. Fossil magmar takes out
zubat+grimer. then an annoying weezing almost knocks me out but i
retreat and send out horsea, knowing if im poisoned ill retreat. but i
ko weezing. Hahaha. I used er+ser. Then
rapidash takes out a geodude and game set match.
Win by lack of basic 3-0

Round 4 Water Fighting
Eek water. I was under pressure early, his dewgong destroying my people.
2 SER's kept him off balance until i got poliwrath and his game crumbled
from there.
Win by prizes 4-0

Round 5 Sponge deck (see my last report)
i just can seem to beat him. This match took like an hour so ill make it
very short. I was winning because he couldnt get an alakazam out. Once
it came out i was hopeless. With movie mewtwo attacking and pokemon
centers wiping the damage of chansey there was nothing i could do.
Lose by prizes 4-1

Round 6 Blastoise Charizard deck
I have a weakness to water and so does he. all he has is a lapras with
one energy and a charmander. I have a magmar and a poliwag with three
energy by turn 5. He forfeits because my poliwag can take out his pokes
and my hand has 3 ER. He peeked at my hand!!!

Props to Pojo for being the best pokemon site
Props to me for doing so well
Props to wizards for actually making a good theme once
Slops to Vaporeon+Seadra for never showing up in my deck.
Slops to the japan company that makes cards for making most of the team
rocket cards bad.
