Yo, it’s General
Raikou. Heres one of my many Deck
Reports. I payed da $2 entry fee and
looked around at the decks being played.
I saw mostly feral with some fire and one or two grass. I had my typhlosion deck all ready to go
when at the last minute I swapped everything in about 2 minutes to accommodate
feraligatr. Onto the deck:

=/…stupid me >=/
The Key Strategy:
See past reports for key strategy =/
A better crowd of
good players came in today. At first I
wasn’t planning on going cuz I didn’t have the $2 to get in..but Kwame offered
graciously just to get me in to play.
He pwnz…and of course I didn’t accept the charity. I just thought I’d mention that here.
Round 1
vs. Jake N00bly with typh
Water > fire….plain and simple. Not even his arcy with 2 fire could hold out with MY cinnibar city gym in play =\
Record: 1-0 3
points
Round 2
vs. ???? Williams with wack fera deck
Fera + something else does not work well. Gotta play the straight Fera. I was able to 0wn most everything of his before he could get going. I 0wned his feraliagtr before it could do some damage =/. Rocket Zapdos was no match for a croc and a fera.
Record: 2-0 6
points
Round 3
vs. Jim Trenner
Bad shuffle for him…he had no baby pokemon except for I think an elekid for like 10 turns. No drawing either for 10 turns. I 0wned him with croc on turn 4.
Record: 3-0 9
points
=/=/=/=/=/
Round 4
vs. Ryan Byrd
Was a
good match till I 0wned his feraliagtr and then he had nothing. I 0wned his babies quickly =/
Record: 4-0 12
points
Round 5
vs. Brian Friedlander
This f00 has
amazing luck against he best players in the city…he amazingly beat meh
again…but it took him a fight to do it.
Ill get you next time =/
Record: 4-1 12
points
