Yo!!! If you remember my last report (Cross Counting Waves from January),
you'll remember me. But this time, it was a lot different. I didn't lose
any cards from my deck!!!! WOO HOO! BTW, if u care, I found the cards I
was missing last time under my bed!?!?!?! Weird huh? Oh well, here's the
report:

First, I want to give props to Satoshi for posting my deck in his garage
(Thanks)!!! I took his advice and got my hands on some CP Searches and
other stuff...

Drainage v19
3 Grimer (F)
3 Dark Muk
1 Muk (F)
2 Scyther
2 Cleffa
2 Sneasel (I added these the day before the tourney and they worked out
PERFECT!)

2 Gold Berry
2 Sprout Tower
3 CP Search (I plan on adding another)
2 Oak
2 Elm
2 Bill
4 ER
2 SER
2 RSA
2 GOW
2 Switch

14 Grass
3 DCE
4 Dark (got 2 more!)

Start with Scyther or Cleffa and try to get out Sneasel or Dark Muk out
on turn 2. I have no problems getting either out. I love Cleffa :)

Tournament: Round Robin

Round 1: Drainage vs. Jonathan with Cross Counting Spins
Ok. I made this deck for him using my cards. Unfortunately for him,
Fighting ain't too great in this environment. It fetued both Hitmonchans,
Sudowoodo, Gligar, and Donphan with Scyther for backup. He starts with
Kangaskhan and Phanpy on the bench. I start with Grimer and Sneasel on
the bench. I attach and Nasty Goo. Tails. He puts Hitmonchan and Rocket's
Hitmonchan on his bench and attaches to Kangaskhan and uses Fetch. I draw
Sprout Tower and put it down. I attach a Dark Energy to Sneasel and Nasty
Goo with tails. He attaches to Rocket's Hitmonchan and Fetches. I draw
Elm. Use it. Get a Dark Energy on Sneasel and use Switch for Sneasel. I
GOW his Phanpy after filling my bench and Beat it Up for the KO. He was
angry cause he had Donphan in his hand. Hehe. I get scared becuse of his
R. Hitmonchan using Cross Counter so I retreat for my powered Dark Muk
and hit it for 20 + Poison. He flips heads for 40 damage. He draws and
forgets to use Cross Counter (DOH!) and I knock it out. I ERed him to
death and played it like baseball-he sent it up, I knocked it out :D

1-0

Between matches: I see Jared win.

Round 2: Drainage vs. Tony with weird Psy-Poison deck with too many
evolutions.
He was really cool. He had good cards too. Unfortunately, he didn't know
how to build a deck. Again, another person that used BASE GASTLY!!!!!
Geez.... I killed it with Grimer and got Sneasel to kill his Dark
Machoke.

2-0

Between matches: I see Jared win again.

Round 3: Drainage vs. Jared with Dark Golduck Cleaner
I had fear. Just to put it softly. Dark Golduck is powerful especially
when accompanied by Electabuzz, Mewtwo, and Scyther. We both started
HORRIBLY at the beginning. He had 2 Scyther. I had Scyther. We ERed and
SERed each other till our eyeballs were torn out, but I eventually got
Koed by a Buzz when I only had Sneasel :(

2-1

Round 4: Drainage vs. Jeremy with Char from Quilava
Fortunate for me, he NEVER got Quilava out. I stalled with Cleffa and he
stalled with Magby. I must have got 5 tails in a row when trying to ko
Magby with Scyther. Long game. I got both Sneasels out and one did 140
damage to Scyther!!! Dark Muk took care of Magmar when I had like 5 cards
left in my deck...Really good battle. Good game Jeremy.

3-1

I'm automatically in the finals!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!! I wait and wait and
wait and Jared wins his battle.

Finals: Drainage vs. Jared with Dark Golduck Cleaner
I love ER and SER. Thanks Wizards :) He never got any energy and I killed
5 Pokes with Dark Muk. No Sneasels involved. It was fun when he tried to
retreat his Scyther and forgot about Dark Muk's power. HAHA! See ya next
time Jared!

4-1

Deck record: 96-9

YES! DARK MUK RULES! DARK MUK RULES! SNEASEL HELPED!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!! Funny, how I won with Dark Muk and lost with
Wiggly. Wigglytuff is dead. Dark Muk and Sneasel take over.

I win 3 boosters (2 Heroes, 1 TR) and got Holo Dark Dugtrio, Brock's Onix
(rare) and a stupid Misty's Goldeen. Plus bragging rights :)

I also got to meet the person who is ranked 10th in the US in the Pokemon
TCG. His name is Ben.
