Chris Ilich

Meijer-league tournament
Indianapolis, Indiana
February 17, 2003

Hey Pojo,this is my first Killer Deck Report.  This is also only my second tournament.  I really enjoy your site, so I had to try and post something you guys would enjoy.  Okay enough rambling, lets get to the deck:
 
Dark Ho-oh
4 ho-oh (neo holo)
3 Cleffa (genesis)
2 cyndaquil (expedition)
1 cyndaquil (LV. 21 Genesis)
1 Quilava (Lv. 35 Genesis)
2 Typholosion ( fire recharge)
3 sneasel (genesis)
 
 
 
4 Prof. Elm
4 Bill
4 Focus Band
3 Computer Search
2 Poke' breeder
1 Ecogym
1 chaos gym
 1 energy charge
 
 
 
16 fire energy
4 dark energy
4 rainbow energy
 
 
 
 
The basic idea is to set up Sneasel and Ho-oh for the beat downs.  I built this a week before the tournament and was surprised.  This deck was potent.  I thought the Ho-oh/Sneasel idea wouldn't go to well.  I'll let you guys decide. This was an unlimited tournament.  You played at least 5 rounds,best record wins.
 
round 1- vs. Mini gatr-
this match was  quick. I had an opener with a Ho-oh and Sneasel.  Sneasel active I started by playing a dark energy on it and fury swiped for 20 on the only Totodile.  He played energy and swiped for 20. Next, I played energy on ho-oh elmed and got Cleffa. beat up for 40. I knocked out 2 pokes before misty's horsea finished me,band failing. I then played Ho-oh with 3 energies Sacred Fire ,heads, wiping out misty's horsea.
record 1-0
 
 
round 2-vs. Sunflora
This match scared me.  I started with a Sneasel, Cyndaquil,and quilava.  Turn 1 I played dark energy on Sneasel and swiped for 20 on an active scyther. It was ready on turn 2 and hit me with 50 damage. Next I played a dark energy, evolved into lava, and elmed, getting another Sneasel. Beat up-prize. Sunkern came and challenged my band, coin flipped heads.  My sneasel with 5 counters and no Focus band, cleaned house.
Record 2-0
 
 
 
Round 3-vs. fighting deck
The opening hand was cleffa and ho-oh.  I played Cleffa against a hitmonlee from neo.  By turn 3 I had a Sneasel thanks to elm and Bill.  (you gotta love those two)  I played a dark energy and passed.  My opponent played a hitmonchan and passed.  Next I played another Dark energy on Sneasel and retreated Cleffa, for sneasel, and Beat up for the ko.  Next turn I beat up the chan, for the win.
record 3-0
 
Round 4-vs. Rick with gatr
I was sweating bullets this whole match.  I started with 2 Sneasel, against 1 Totodile.  By turn 2 I had a fully powered Sneasel but no benched Pokes.  On Rick's turn he evolved into Croc and Played SER on Sneasel.  I benched my sneasel for Cleffa and stalled 2 turns.  Turn 5 I  brought back My sneasel fully powered and Beat up the only gatr, for 80 damage.  Game
record 4-0
 
Round 5-vs.Trent with Slowking/Tyranitar
This match went smoothly, for him!  I started with a Cleffa and Ho-oh against a Murkrow and Larvitar.  The Murkrow mean looked my Cleffa.  I ended up getting energy screwed.  He slowed dealt damage to all of my poke's.  The final few turns ended with Tyranitar hitting  and KOing Multiple targets he easily beat me.
record 4-1
 
The final standings ended well, with me and another player tying for first, the leader said she had two prizes,so she'd give the other winner his later.  The prize was a jumbo Rocket's Sneasel and a best promo. (Rocket's Sneasel).
 
 
Props to every player, They all gave me chills.
Slops to no one.
