Night Spirits v1.0

    I always like to think up a new deck and try it out at the pokemon
league. I made this deck after looking at Sabrina's haunter's attack and
realizing how broken this attack could actually be if it was put in the right
deck. I soon made this deck and I took it to the league. Heres the deck:

Night Spirits v1.0

Pokemon (12)
4 Sabrina's Ghastly
4 Sabrina's Haunter
4 Erika's Dratini
 
Trainers (34)
4 Professor Oak
4 Bill
4 Computer Search
4 Item Finder
4 Plus Powers
4 Good Manners (Four are a must in order to get out all the Gastlys by turn
two)
1 Goop Gas Attack
2 Nightly Garbage Runs
4 Sabrina's ESP
1 Here Comes Team Rocket (in case a Gastly is in your prizes)
2 Super Potions (Haunters only drawback is it's HP)

Energy
14 Psychic Energy

Obviously the strategy behind this deck is to get Sabrina's Haunter out by
turn two and start using night spirits for up to 120 damage. After trying
this at the pokemon league I have realized this is an incredibly powerful
deck and with some work could (not will, so don't bash me) be the next
archetype. Enough talk now onto the report...

I got to the league around 6:30 (starts at 6:00 and ends at 8:00). They still
didn't have the 8th badge, but told me I could start working towards it. I
hope they get the badge in by the time Victory Road starts (I really want a
cool porygon). I'm sorry I don't remember anyone's name, so if I played you
and your reading this please don't take it personally.

1st match

He had a Venasaur deck. It really was a good deck it also used hitmonchans,
scythers, and I don't know what else. I got a horrible hand with only a
ghastly. This match was obviously very quick.

0-1

2nd match

I played that same kid again. I was able to get the combo pulled off by turn
two and quickly won the game.

1-1

3rd match

I don't remember much about this match except this person had squirtles and
krabbys. I got the combo by turn two and won the game very quickly.

2-1

I got hungry so I got some snacks from the vending machine and took a break.

4th match

They played a haymaker. I got a sabrina's haunter active and three benched
gastlys by turn two. I was able to knock out all of there scythers,
electrabuzzes, and magmars in one hit using Sabrina's ESP, and Plus Powers.

3-1

I traded with a couple of people for about 15 minutes and got some cards I
needed for my next deck.

5th match

This kid played a wigglytuff I think, although I never saw a wigglytuff
because I knocked out both jigglypuffs they had by turn three. Then I just
knocked out their three scythers and won.

4-1

Well the pokemon league was now over so I headed home. Already with its first
version it is very good IMHO and I hope to make changes to make it even
better. Thanks for reading this report and I hope you that you will read my
others.
