I almost went to the tourney with my feared Wigglytuff deck, but since THIS
IS MY LAST tourney I decided to come up with something new.  I CREATED A NEW
ARCHTYPE.  At least I think I did.  Dont go emailing me telling me you
created it because, frankly, I dont give a hoot.  Dont go tellin everyone
you guys made this up, but use it if you must.=)

     Hehe!  DO you know how to play this?  You double edge everyone.  After
you are out of Dc energy you use mewtwos energy absorbtion and get the dc
enegry back.  Use energy flow and return the dc energy to your hand.  Then
attach it to chansey and double edge again and again and again.  Hitmonchan
could serve a problem but Mewtwo will just psyburn it to death.  Likitung
and Chansey are a bit of a problem but rocket machop can beat them up!
Playing 6 psy enegry is a little wacky but actually I had to much energy.
Next time I'll play four.  Goop gas attack is for erikas dratini, ditto, and
mr.mime.  Anywayz..................

round 1

match one vs psy/light
I had no card drawing but his pokes couldnt attack wuickly and I resisted
his psy pokes with Chansey!  I got another chansey on the bench and double
edged everyone.
record 1-0

match two
He had two baisc and me two chansyes.  Two double edges make him go bye bye!
record 2-0

round 2

match one versus grass, water
Her deck wasnt good but real annoying.  I had to double edge, her weak
pokemon, and that was very irritating but she got nothing out.  Only
squirtles and psyducks.
record 3-0

match two
I double edged her caterpie.  I love Chansey.
record 4-0

round 3

match one vs buzz scyther zapdos
I had the match early as mewtwo psybruned everyone.  He kept retreating
because of no card drwain and energy.  I killed like 3 pokemon but he
started to come back with electabuzz, and him getting prizes beacue I knock
my own Chansey out with double edge.  It is one prize to one.  I psyburn his
scyther.  He retreats and slashes and says yes.  I now know he has a plus
power to kill me next turn!  He couldnt keep a straight face.  I got a cpu
search and searched for an oak.  I oaked and had no cards left in my deck.
I itemfindered for a gust and gusted the weak scyther and burned it for the
win.  I made him sad.
record 5-0

match 2
He got one electabuzz.  I got a mewtwo.  He thunderpunched me and got tails,
so he had 60 HP.  I got two plus powers and psybruned him for 60 for the
win.
record 6-0

round 4(finals)

match one vs cleaner
He had a likitung and I had a Chansey and Machop benched.  He tongue wrapped
me and paralysis.  I attached a dc to Machop and scooped up chansey.  I then
pucnhed him for 40.  He put out magmar after a scoop up on likitung.  He
screened me.  I attached a dc to chansye and punched.  He smogged and
passed.  I scooped him up, attached a dc to chansey and double edged it for
the win.  He negleted to put likitung back on the bench.  I have no idea
why.  To bad so sad.
record 7-0

match 2
He got a magmar and I double edged it turn three for the win.  Very quick. I
win.
record 8-0

Well for 5 dollar entrance fee I got 30 dollar store credit.  I won there

That is my new archtype and its first tourney.

Ps: Scott, is this a new archtype?

<ed note:  It's hard to make "Archetypes" these days.  Potpourri was the last true archetype deck I've seen created, and some will even debate that.  Even my other decks were not.  Well, Escalator was, but it sucked and that's why no one knows about it.  Viagra was just a Wiggly variant and Sponge was just a no-evolution utility variant.  They're original decks, but I would not say an Archetype.  To be honest, ClefariyDoll has been running a deck extremely similar to this ("Chansey Flow" she and I call it).  So, it's real hard to create something completely new in an environment with so few cards.  Still takes initiative to create something like this and go with it.  So archetype?  No.  Original deck? Yes.  Were you the first to come up with it?  Probably not.  Then again, you don't have to be the first, just the loudest. ;)  -Scott>
