DEVASTATOR
sorry about the dramatic name, there. Red Dragon
here, reporting about my deck...formed around my favorite Pokemon RED
GYARADOS!!! or, shining gyarados, whatever. :-/
1x Shining Gyarados (star of the deck)
4x Fossil Magmar (stalling, cheap
attacks)
2x Chansey (what else..stall?)
2x Fossil Lapras (once again, cheap
attacks)
1x SI Lapras (stalling or ice beam is good
offense)
1x Elekid (for when you just can't find the right
energy)
-------------
11 Pokemon (low, I know. Proved to be a
problem)
4x Bill (can u ever have 2 many
bills?)
1x ItemFinder (all I have :-/)
3x Energy Search (Shining Gyarados)
2x Berry (I like them)
4x Gold Berry (Chansey likes them)
2x Nightly Garbage Run (For those discarded
fires)
2x Master Ball (finding whoever I
need.)
2x PokeBall (finding whoever I need.)
1x comp. Search (all I have :-/)
--------
21 Trainers
14 Fire
14 Water
------
28 Energy (A little high)
some high energy counts and low Pokemon counts,
but...
ROUND 1: Red Dragon vs Derrick L.
This kid likes weird themed decks. This time it was
something he called BabyPower. I don't remember a lot, except that I had good
luck. My opening hand had Chansey and Sh. Gyarados and Energy Search! I stalled
against his magby. (pathetic, i know) and then powered up Sh. Gyarados. I
flipped heads, got to attack and nailed his magby for a prize, and severly
weakened several Igglybuff and Pichu. It was pretty easy from there, retreated
Sh. Gyarados, (painfully high retreat, but oh well) and used Lapras's water gun
to pick off the little guys.
1-0
ROUND 2: Red Dragon vs Sammy k.
He loves Promo Mewtwo. I don't. Whenever Devastate
did get rid of energy, he absorbed them back. He Psyburned the crap out of
Magmar and had drawn 3 prizes to my one. I decided to (drumroll) use
Chansey...on offense! I loaded up 4 energy, attached gold berry and edged
repeatetly to tie the game. Then he brought out a Mr.Mime. I NGR'd a few Lapras
into the deck. 2 turns later, I drew a Comp. Search and found one of them.
(meanwhile, i had been stalling w/chansey). I brought in the battleship Lapras
to 20 damage water gun twice for a win because he had no benched
Pokemon.
2-0
ROUND 3: Red Dragon vs John G.
This guy is usually pretty good. My lifetime record
against him was something like 2-infinity. He was running a Sneasel/Electabuzz
thing. Needless to say, I got beat pretty soundly.
2-1
ROUND 4: Red Dragon vs Will P.
Me and him are about as even as they come. Anyway,
he plays a Gengar deck. I've beat it twice and he's beat Devastator before. I
mulliganed, not once, but twice to begin the game. I flinally got Sh. Gyarados
out after 2 turns, and powered him up shortly after. Shining Gyarados ripped up
his Gengar and benched Gengars, who need 3 energy to attack, and I kept flipping
heads.
3-1
I ended up in 3rd place. I got 3 Neo Discovery
boosters and one Revelation. I got 2 Yanmas, a t-tar (!), and
Skarmory.
props:
pojo
Will P., for being such a good skill
tester

John G. for being 2 good.
That's my time
