deckbuilder. This deck is a basic Rain Dance with the additions of the
Lightning Resistant Water Pokemon Wooper and Quagsire. Those helped me in
my
haymaker-based environment. This is my 2nd tourney and I'm on a 5-1 streak
before this.
Pokemon (21):
4x Squirtle
3x Wartortle
2x Blastoise (Tons of energy)
4x Wooper (For lightning resistance)
2x Quagsire
2x Articuno
4x Gligar (For Colorless attacking outside water energy)
Energy (19):
19x Water
Trainer (20):
2x No Removal Gym
4x Gold Berry
4x Bill
2x Oak
2x Gambler
2x Sprout Tower
2x Gust Of Wind
2x Rocket's Sneak Attack
This Revised Rain dance did me some good in my tournament. Disruption with
RSA does good, but deciding to play Sprout Tower or No Removal Gym is hard
because both are good but only one can be in play. Oak is good, but
decking
is a problem, so I use Gambler. Gold Berry is the greatest healer. It
heals
like Super Potion, but no drawbacks.
Round 1: VS Michael (Haymaker)
His haymaker was no match, since all he got were Buzzes. I easily won
with
Gligar and Quagsire. No Removal Gym handcuffed him, and a few RSA shut
down
the power plant completely. Easy win!
1-0
Round 2: VS Matthew (Stall)
Matthew was not very tough. I gusted out his Alakazam and KO'd it.
All the
Chanseys fell to Gligar's feet and Gligar also took Mr. Mime with his
20-for-2 attack. I took my prizes and won.
2-0
Round 3: VS Daniel (Haymaker)
Daniel was tough, since his deck had no Electabuzzes. Magmars were
easy to
take out and Gligar brought down Mr. Mime. I won by running him out of
basics.
3-0
Round 4: VS Jessica (Mono Psychic Deck)
My first 6 prize battle, Jessica was tough. Her MP Mewtwo took out my
Quagsire, but Articuno was up and ready. I Blizzarded her Pokemon to
death!
Luckily she got out a Mr. Mime. I retreated and Gligar took Mime out.
I won.
4-0
Round 5: VS Leslie (Mono Psychic Deck)
Same as last time. Blizzard took most of them out and Gligar
exterminated
Mr. Mime (Mr. Mime are popular today, aren't they).
5-0
SemiFinals: VS Matthew (Stall)
Matt made it up here and is back for revenge. He bought a few boosters
during breaks and modified. Still, he had no chance. He decked
HIMSELF!!
6-0
Finals: VS Melissa (Wiggly Deck)
I did her good! Sprout tower got her. Gligar took out Wiggly and
her
Buzzes. Her Hitmonchans didn't pose a threat and Chansey didn't
stand a
chance. I won the tourney, a box of 1st edition Neo packs, and a few promo
cards.
My streak increased to 12-1 after this.
Props and Slops:
Props to everybody. Especially Matt, who lost in the 2nd round but
came back
in the semifinals to beat me, but failed. I still give him credit. This
tourney was hard, but the Mimes actually made Gligar better. No slops.
I
gave everybody I faced a Lugia, since I got a lot of them in the box.
