Hi this is Matt again. my last report was Super
smokin thunderpunch( just so you dont get confused because of how many matts
there are). I attended a tornament at Mankato, Mn at a store called
"Double Play." It was Saturday the 22nd there were only eight
people there this time though. It was best two out of three. I used your
unstopable, beastly potpourri deck (v 1.5 with one card change).
3 Hitmonchan
3 Electabuzz
3 Scyther
3 Mr. Mime
1 Mew
1 Ponyta
1 Kangiskhan
3 Bill
3 Prof. Oak
3 Gust of Wind
3 Super Energy Removal
2 Energy Removal
2 PlusPower
2 Item Finder
2 Energy Retrieval
2 Scoop Up
1 Computer Search
7 Fighting Energy
6 Electric Energy
6 Psychic Energy
3 Double Colorless Energy
I used Mew because the
metagame here is raindance and his devolution beam works great against a
breedered Blastoise.
Gameone:Potpourriv1.5vsJim with Raindance
Roundone:I start with hitmonchan and him a lone
squirtle. I go first attach an energy and pluspower, Oak, Cpu search for
another pluspower and win.
Roundtwo:I start with electabuzz and Scyther
and Mime on bench, him a squirtle and another one with a magicarp on bench.
I go first attach an energy to electabuzz and Oak which only yields me one
pluspower and nothing else so I figure why waste a pluspower? I gust out his
Magicarp and kill it. His turn Oaks, Trades, Breeds, Raindances, but still not
enough energy to hurt me. I super removal him and thunder punch for eighty
damage. He Super removals buzz. my turn I attach energy to buzz and
thundershock to kill Blastoise. He sends up gyarados evolves his other
squirtle to Blastoise rain dances and dragon rages. I scoop up buzz energy
removal his gyarados put up mime and attach an energy to scyther. He attaches
energy dragon rage, zero damage. I attach double colorless to Scyther and
scoop up Mime then I slash. He attaches energy and bubblebeams, but thank God
he doesn't paralyze him. I start to pump up Mime and kill Gyarados. I send out
mime and kill his blastoise for the win! match record 2-0

Gametwo:Potpourriv1.5vs???withfightinggrass
Roundone: I attack fast with my hitmonchans and
electabuzzs and he never recovers. I draw 6 prizes, Win.
Roundtwo: (See game one<there always seem to
be one of these decks in the tournament>) match record 2-0
2-0 (6 points)
Gamethree:Potpourriv1.5vs???verybadconstructeddeck
This guy is a smart one. He puts a Muk in
a deck that uses Mimes and Dittos! Oh my God! Thats why I call his deck
"The very badly constructed deck"
Roundone:He starts with clefairy and me
hitmonchan. Game. Win
Roundtwo: I love this guy. He is such a screw
up. I love messing up dittos with fancy pluspower and gust work. I
start up with electabuzz and kill off a couple basics. He starts getting out
dittos. Oh how Fun. I special punch a ditto and retreat for mime one Ditto
dead. I do that again. Then he recycles one of his Dittos back. I special
punch with pluspower and gust out another pokemon to kill ditto. I draw all
six prizes. match record 2-0
3-0 (9 points)
Gamefour:Potpourriv1.5vsWyattwithelectricdeck
Roundone:I power up Hitmonchan and wreck
everything that he throws at me. He rarely got energy but the energy he did
get I removed. Win
Roundtwo:I power up Hitmonchan and wreck
everything that he throws at me. He rarely got energy but the energy he did
get I removed. Win. match record 2-0
4-0 (12 points)
Gamefive:Potpourriv1.5vsStevenwithawierdmixture
Roundone:I attack early against his magmars and
farfetch'd and draw all my prizes. Win.
Roundtwo:He gets out a wigglytuff and does the
wave. like scott said attack the jigglypuff and thats what I did, but his
potions coverd it. At the end I have 2 cards left he has out wigglytuff.
I have a benched Scyther with a double colorless energy. He has an aerodactyl
on bench and I have gust in my hand at least one of those cards has to be
an energy. Yes A psychic energy I attach it to Syther retreat my buzz gust out
his aerodactyl and slash for the win!match record 2-0
5-0 (15 points)
Now i have to challenge Josh again for first IM
shaking in my boots! but i felt confident because in Scotts report in August
he said that he has never come close to losing to a raindance.
Gamesix:Potpourriv1.5vsJoshwithRaindance
Roundone: I start with buzz and him again
a lone squirtle. I attached energy and oaked attached a pluspower. I then item
findered the oak back and got another pluspower. First turn kill! But next
tournament I am definately add more plusspowers. probably in exchange for
ponyta.Win.
Roundtwo: I try for a first turn kill but again
I only get one pluspower. He gets blastoise 2nd turn and a gyarados too. I
cant handle all the damage. I lose.
Roundthree: This is a very long game and proves
the strength of a Potpurri. Like Scott said in his strategy article it is very
hard to play and that is soooooooooo true. Youve got to use cards
wisely. and thats what i did. I killed off his big guns. and he sends up a
Squirtle and paralyzes me three times in a row, but in all those three turns
he still didnt get a basic. I slashed for the win. match record 2-1
6-0 (18 points)
I got first and got 24$ store credit I got another mime,
hitmonchan and Gengar. Not bad. I love this deck. Scott is,in my eyes,
the best at pokemon. His potpourri deck is unstopable, I mean i played a total
of 13 rounds and only lose one. Please dont E-mail me hatemail because you
think I got to lucky because there was no real competition and your right but
when a lot of people come there is(run on).
Now it's time for the Props and Slops
Props-
Props to Doubleplay for having another great tournament
Props to Doubleplay for giving everyone a Mew

deck

Slops for pretty easy competition
