(5-23-99 Sports Cards and Coins Durham, NC) There were 9 people this week (same as last week) and 2 of my friends showed up week. (Michael) to play, and (Thomas) to watch. We drew numbers and paired up. (Best 2 out of 3, you lose, you're gone) _______________________________________________________ Match One (I lost the sheet that had all the names, so I can't tell you who I played :( ) Opponents type of deck: Electric Game one: Easy, just got out machop and took down all of his Pikachus and Voltorb for a win. Game two:See above _______________________________________________________ Match Two Opponents Type of deck: Colorless/Fighting Game one: Man, this guy didn't read the rules well. He drew 7 Cards, the Prizes, then he put 5 for his 'Bench' Had to straighten him out ;) Not only that, but he drew NO ENERGY BOTH GAMES! When I looked at his deck after the games, I saw he had only 5 Fighting energy in his deck, so I just cleaned up with Dragonair. Game two: After game one, his brother went and bought him some cards to put in his deck and then they stacked the deck so he got warned and almost got disqualified. Just beat him with a Diglett. (How did he get into round 2???) _______________________________________________________ Match Three: Opponents deck: Fighting Game one:Hmm, he thinks he can get me with a Hitmonchan... Nope! Just whipped out Farfetch'd and cleaned up with Pot Smash Game Two:A little more difficult, he got out his Dragonair and started Hyper Beaming me. 2 Energy Removal and Dugtrio took care of him. _______________________________________________________ Match Four:-for the championship- Opponents Deck: Fighting/Fire/Water/Grass/Colorless Game One:A heated battle that took over 45 min. to finish. Everything was going well, we both had 1 prize left when he whipped out Clefairy, put me to sleep and used metronome for the win. A loss... (rare, but they do happen) Game Two: OK, had to win this one or I'm gone. He got a bad draw and I KOed his 3 Staryu with Diglett's Mud slap (with a plus power) Easy win Game Three: I couldn't seem to get any basics and he ended up drawing 10 extra cards. Luckily, my hand came with 4 bills and a Pokédex :) I used Pokédex to get some Basics ( I had only 1, a diglett) and energies to the top. Used 3 Bills then got to work. Long battle, so I'll just say that I got Machamp out(for the 3rd time that day) and just beat him with S-Toss and it's Pokémon power. _______________________________________________________ For winning I got $20 Store Credit+$5 I had with me which I used to buy a ($9)Mewtwo, ($10)Nidoking, ($6)Pidgeotto. Ihe person in 2nd place bought a booster($7) with his $8 Store credit and got a CHARIZARD!!! AAAUUUGGGHHH!!!!
