Sicko Powers by

I wanted to play this deck because I have playtested on apprentice a lot of times and I have won several smaller scale tourneys with this. It was inspired by Bomiester, the creator of decks such as Occult, Sic and Sloccult. Anyway, the deck:

Strategy is to use the cleffa/lass combo while having an oddish benched...I'll get cleffa/Lass about 95% of the time due to the amount of card drawing and manipulation that I have. Then on the second turn, breeder it to Dark Vileplume. Therefore, the opponent has 1 turn to play trainers and most likely, they will not topdeck and therefore, I'll breeder to dark plume next turn. It may sound difficult but with all my card drawing and manipulation, it's very likely.

Cleffa/Lass combo worked. He was able to paralyze my cleffa a few times with his abra though. But that only gave me a little setback and I just evolved to Dark Vileplume and Beat up via Sneasel for the win.

This guy was playing on the same table as me in the previous game so I already knew what to expect, and he knew what to expect from me. He started first and used a few Erika's, I refused to draw since I knew he was gonna trap me anyway and if it was unsuccessful, I HAD to use Cleffa to eeeeek! anyway cause I had a Lass in my hand. He trapped me succesfully. However, he flipped tails on Baby. On my turn, I got an energy, attached and eeeeeeek!ed to get a new hand. He attached a dark energy to sneasel, and proceded to beat up, but got tails again. Then, on my turn I placed an oddish, Lass and eeeek! Making him shuffling his Oak and other trainers into his deck. Several turns later, I was able to use Murkrow to mean look his cleffa and feint attacked his bench. I had to flip for baby power though. I got 3 prizes with Murkrow, and cleaned his bench for 2 more prizes by Sneasel. I won because he has no more pokemon on the bench.

2nd game:
I started first, placed an oddish and cleffa/lass immediately, Wrecked most of his hand while I got a brand new one. I gusted out an MP mewtwo, Breedered to Dark Vileplume and feint attacked the bench. I later cleaned on his pokemon with R scyther and Sneasel.

I'm seeing a lot of psychic decks today...I'm not sure why. Anyway, I didn't rememver most of this match except that I got Vileplume out early and cleaned his bench with my Beat Ups and Blinding Scythes.

I made a mistake in the late game not to place murkrow as his active was a Mr.mime, I already had a Dark Vileplume on the bench. So if I mean looked a Mr. Mime, he can't attack me due to resistance of Murkrow, and he can't retreat or play trainers. So basically, he's stuck. So, I decided to let him kill my R scyther to make room for my Murkrow which later mean looked it and proceded to feint attack his bench. He conceded shortly afterwards.

Ugh...got trap immediately. ANd he proceded beating my low hp basics with his Rocket's Zapdos and Chansey. Chansey's an awesome attacker by the way. I don't know why so many people use him to stall.

I got the cleffa/Lass combo and an oddish on the bench by turn 1. Dark Vileplume by turn 2, and used Shadow images. He tried to stall as his active was a lone Chansey and scrunched without success. I used BLinding Scythe on 3 consecutive turns for the win. He didn't draw anymore pokemon.

I was lucky not to lose via FTK. My lone cleffa against his Hitmonchan with Pluspower. The baby power definitely helped. Next turn, I gusted out something...I couldn't remember, used Lass, placed an oddish on the bench and eeeeeeek! to get a new hand. His hand was wrecked and he just attached an energy and tried to attack me. I can't remember much except that I cleaned his bench using Sneasels for Electabuzzes, Scythers and R scythers handled Hitmonchan and Clefable. I won by prizes.

2nd Game:
I lost in the early game and was down by prizes. I had a sneasel on the bench, 1 Scyther, 1 R Scyther, 1 Brock's Mankey, 1 Dark PLume, and my active was a Sneasel. Luckily I thought of retreating my R scyther and Scyther back and fourth, Blinding Scythe, Slash for 70 damage killing 1 of his pokemon, to preserve my sneasels when I would really need them. I did this 4 times and we were levelled. He conceded later.

Well, that's how the tournament ended. I got 2nd place...and walked away with crappy prizes, I got 1 FOIL Promo Mew (which has no value) 1 MP Mewtwo, 1 Team Rocket Booster (1st ed) and 1 Neo (1st ed)
