Subject: Ferocious Beast [v2.7] ~ Miguel Aragoncillo Ferocious Beast [v2.7] (Water) Miguel Aragoncillo Moorestown Wizards of da Coast Moorestown, New Jersey Saturday, February 9th, 2002 About 20-30 Participants -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Hey guys. I had a tourney yesterday, and I did well. Not that good, since I haven't played in Modified in a while. This was the DCI Sanctioned End of The Season Tourney, at my WotC store. I played Feraligatr. =\ Oh yeah. The rounds were best out of 3. Ferocious Beast[v2.7] Pokémon:17 4 Totodile 3 Croconaw 3 Feraligatr 3 Cleffa 1 Magby 1 Smeargle 1 Pichu 1 Suicune (NH) Energy:16 16 Water Trainers:27 4 Professor Elm 4 Misty's Wrath 4 Secret Mission 4 Trash Exchange 3 Focus Band 3 Double Gust 1 Warp Point 1 Healing Fields 1 Narrow Gym 1 The Rocket's Training Gym 1 Nightly Garbage Run Strategy Basically get Croconaw out and get ready to kill with Feraligatr next turn. For some reason, Croconaw has KOed more Pokémon than Feraligatr. =\ Maybe because I didn't have enough Water in the discard. Onto the matches! X\ ============================== Round 1 Ferocious Beast versus Rocket Theme Deck Game 1 and 2 =/. Need I say more? It even had cards that were illegal, and I still beat him. X/ Round 2 Ferocious Beast versus Slowking/Umbreon/Espeon Game 1 Man, we both started off SUPREMELY slow, and then on top of that, I hardly drew Energies. Somehow, I powered up my Suicune, and I was killing his Cleffas and Eevees left and right. When I was up by 3 Prizes, he finally powers something up and kills my bench with Umbreon. Then, he plays 2 Slowkings, and I think I'm going to lose, but I have a hunch. =\ YES! Remember that powered up Totodile on my bench? X\ Well, whatever. I evolved that to Crocnaw and started cleaning his bench up liak whoa. His Espeons really killed me, since Psychic did (30+3 Energies = 60 damage). Good thing I played Focus Band, since that was the only thing that could save me. So, I proceed to kill that Espeon with my Suicune, and then with Croconaw (free retreat). Next thing I know, I've won. =/ Game 2 Practically came out with the same results as last time. He played Healing Fields, which gave me an advantage. So my Feraligatr CHEWS him up and his Espeons. They do nothing to me, since I kill him easily. This was one of the few games that I actually get Feraligatr out. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=--= Lunch Break Since one of my sleeves broke open, I needed to buy once of the thingies, since no one had an extra one. How convenient? =\ I go ask some kid to buy me a Coca-Cola, and he actually gives me back my CHANGE! O_o Well, I fix my deck, while everyone goes away. So far my record is 2-0-0, or 6-0-0. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Round 3 Ferocious Beast versus Slowking/Umbreon/Dark Golduck Game 1 What is up with the Eevee evolutions? -_- I go second, and I get a bad hand, but I bluff and tell him I'm going to pulverize him. LOL he finally gets my bluff by about the 5th turn, when all I've done is played some Pokémon down. =\ However, his game isn't going as well either, so we're both in need of some action. What do you know? He's the first to get it. He gets two Slowkings out, so I'm going to have to rely on my Cleffas. And I Eeeeeeek, so I get a better hand, but not great. I somehow power up a Croconaw, and he powers up an Umbreon. This is going well so far, right? Well, I'm stuck, with a 30-some discard pile, and a hand full of Trainers. By some miracle, he flips two tails on an Elm for Slowking, and I get the Gatr out. Since I retreated all those times, I get about 5 or so Energy, and KO the Umbreon. Everything else is just taking candy from a baby, or some other analogy. O_o Game 2 We both start off slow, but I don't know how I do. I have 12 big card drawers, and none of them ever come out. So here we go, and He ends up with 1 Eevee and 2 Cleffas. I have my Pichu out. He goes first. =\ He Eeeeeeeks, and I Zzzap his Eevee, but next turn he evolves. =\ Also, he plays Wobuffet A LOT. He attaches a Darkness, and goes. I go, and do nothing. He attaches some other Energy, and Bites me for the KO. Luckily, I drew Totodile, and started to power him up. He had to try and get through the babies, so that gave me some stallage. Somehow, I once again get a Croconaw going, and Sweep his Umby and bench away. Becauseour last match was so long, we need to go into OT, and I end up winning, but I could've won the last turn by flipping heads on a Baby Power check. >_< This guy was really PO about me playing Feraligatr, but I said under my breath, "Maybe you shouldn't be so mad you almost won against one." =\ Round 4 Ferocious Beast versus Erika's Victreebel/Umbreon Game 1 Seriously, I'm going to eat Umbreon for breakfast if I see another one. X\ I had another slow game, and he gets fast setup. Also, all the flips I have are all AGAINST me, which somehow kills me. His Chaos Gym really tore me up. Then, he evolved to Umbreon and Erika's Victreebel. X\ He continues to tear me up, and we have wasted MAJOR time on this battle, since there are only 13 minutes left. I decide to concede this game, since I know I have no way to recover. Game 2 I only have a Totodile, and knowing his deck, he probably has the FTK Bellsprout. What do you know?!?! I lose by a FTK Bellsprout. =\ liak whoa. =\ Well, getting into my first DCI Tourney in a while and almost going all the way (Top 4), I'm slightly proud of myself. I know I could've done better, but I didn't. Don't ask me how. Anyway, I get a boost in my DCI, and some Promo cards I never had. Yay! ;x You'll see this report on Pojo.com as well. X\ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Some things I would change on my deck: -1 Magby +1 Pichu -1 Secret Mission +1 Water Energy -1 Healing Fields +1 The Rocket's Training Gym/Narrow Gym and maybe: -1 Suicune (NH) +1 Suicune (H) ______________ Thought of the Tourney Day: Why do people like Espeon, Umbreon, and Wobuffet? =\ -~Khap khapoera@hotmail.com _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com
