My deck has been around for about a year and gets changed almost every week.
It's a really good stall deck that uses damage swap. It also uses Charizard
for the kill switch at the end of a game. So without further talking here's
my deck.
ENERGY (24)
12x fire
8x psychic
4x double colourless
TRAINERS (8)
2x prof. oak(base)
2x energy flow(gym heroes)
2x pokemon center (base)
1x nightly grabage run (rocket)
1x No removal gym (gym heroes)
POKEMON (28)
4x charmander (rocket)
3x charmeleon (base)
2x charizard (base)
3x magmar (fossil)
4x abra (base)
3x kadabra (base)
2x alakazam (base)
2x mr. mime (jungle)
3x chansey (base)
2x scyther (jungle)
There's my deck. I know I'm low on trainers but it works and that's the most
important part, right? The Tournament I'll talk about is from 2 weeks ago
when I won. We have then every other week because of magic and nitro
tourneys. Since I live in a small town this was a big tourney with about 14
people in it. It was a five round tourney that lasted about 2 hours.
Round One
Me against Dane with a brock's deck fighting/ grass
Dane is my brother and I always beat him so this one was easy.My hand was a
chansey, two charmanders, alakazam and 3 fire energy. I sent out chansey
against his brock's sandshrew. I went first and drew a charmeleon. I put a
fire on charmander and passed. He put a bock's geodude down. he put a
fighting energy on sandshrew and used defense curl that didn't work. I drew
a dce and put it on charmander. I passed again.
he put another fighting on sandshrew and evolved it. He hit me for forty due
to weakness. A couple of turns passed until chansey died but when he did I
had 2 dce's and 2 fire on charmeloen. I picked up kadabra. I used my no
removal gym to get rid of his Pewter gym. I used slash for 30. His turn he
hit me for 10. I drew abra and played it i killed sandslash and picked up an
oak. He sent out his only benched guy geodude. He used tackle for 10. I drew
a fire energy and played it, kadabra and used slash forgetting geodude had
50. He laughed at me and played an onix. He tried to hit my for 30 but it
didn't work. I drew another fire and played it. I put alakazam in and used
my oak. I got A chansey, charizard and alot of energy. I played my favourite
pokefag Pansey and swapped the 20 onto him. I killed geodude and picked up a
poke center. He passed his turn after drawing. I laughed at him and played
charizard for the win.
Round two
Me against david with a non-strategy fighting deck
This guy sux but always beats me in the league for some unknown reason. But
this would not be the case here as I beat him in two turns. He started with
only a scyther and I started with charmander up and magmar back. I went
first and attached a fire on mander. I used fire tail and it was his turn he
used a fighting on scyther and passed. I pcked up a charmeleon. I used a dce
and charmeleon and that was the end of the match.
Round three
Me against Luke with Raindance water
I know I can win this one but the next two will be harder. Another fast one
as I beat him Before it started. He forgot his prizes and I won.
Round four
Me against Conner with a poison deck grass
I'm getting sick of these short ones as it makes the tourney sound easy but
I was happy at the time. He started with weedle and I started with
charmander. he started and used poison sting which worked. I hoped I got
afire energy as all I had was psychic and evolution cards. I drew a fire and
killed him for the win.
Round five
Me against Trevor with Haymaker fighting/Phychic
They say becareful what u wish for and I learned that today. Trevor is the
only match for me, Nathaniel and Damon ( who wrote in with his horrible
fighting/psychic that uses ditto) and he showed why in this one. It was long
and boring so I'll only tell u the highlights, ok? I'll pick this one up
around the half-way point. He had 3 prizes left and I had 4. I killed his
horrid mewtwo with mime then he killed my mime with hitmonchan. More
boringness followed up until the last couple minutes. I had two prizes and
so did he. Our half hour time limit was almost up. I brought up magmar and
hit him for 20 and poisoned him which made the difference since it was a
rockets snorlax with two energies on. He tried to pump him up enought to
retreat but he died before he could. Ian, the owner of the card store,
called for the end and I just barely won the game.
The Result
I came in first and got 25 dollars
Trevor came in second and got 15 dollars
David came in third and got 10 dollars
and Dakota came in fourth to get 5 dollars
It was a pretty easy tournament but I won so I was happy. If I win a harder
Tournament I'll write in again.
In my packs that I bought I got a brock's ryhorn, misty and a avatar of woe
in a magic pack. I used the rest of the money for gum and sleeves for cards.
