Alakazam's Telekinetic Swap

Where Toys R Us  Glen Burnie, MD
When: August 5, 2000
How many People:39

I was the last person that could get in. Bummer....

My Deck:
4 TR Abras
Better that the base set. More hp, another attack and there is something
wrong with the retreat cost.
2 Dark Alakazam
I'd say this can kill Jigglys and Wigglys with Mindshock.
2 Alakazam
The Damage Swap rules! And confuse ray is good with having a 50% chance of
confusing your opponent.
1 Nintendo Power Mewtwo
A bench and defending killer. Energy control is for potpourri decks to move
wrong energy to another type of Pokemon.
1 Movie Promo Mewtwo (Only have 1, looking for more...)
The Psychic Haymaker. I wish I had more....
4 Chansey
The Main Staller for a Stall deck. Almost every stall deck must have this!
3 Fossil Psyduck
The opponent can't SER or ER me. This is a good card to go with and evolve to
DK Golduck
2 Dark Golduck
A colorless killer
2 Mr. Mime
For those Blastoises and other heavy hitters. You should have these in a
Psychic deck!

4 Super Energy Removal (To make the game right for you!)
This card is even better that Energy Removal. It can tick off your opponent
if they have 3 energy on a Charizard.
3 Nightly Garbage Run (Get those Abras, Chanseys, and energys back and not
deck yourself.) No comment.
4 Scoop Up (Chanseys Only!) Id say this is the potion for a Chansey!
2 Pokemon Center (Swap damage counters to Pokemon with no energy on them, and
PokeCenter!) This is good for Chanseys and Pokemon with no Energy with them.
2 Switch (To return heavy retreat cost Pokemon)
Im thinking of taking them out. It's ok for a stall deck.
4 Pokemon Breeder (Abra is evolving to Alakazam!!)
So you dont need Kadabras in youir deck! That gives more deck space for
better cards!
20 Psychic Energy
What other energy would you use?

The Strategy is to swap counters to chansey or pokemon on your bench with no
energy and then Pokemon Center. That's all the strategys i have. Now, let's
go to the Matches!

Match 1- Vs. Michael with Grass Deck.
I got a good hand, but forgot what it was. He started out with Clefairy Doll
to my Chansey. I went first. I drew and put a TR Abra on my bench with
another Chansey. Attached an energy to abra and passed. He drew and attached
an energy to exeggute and passed. I drew and it was Pokemon breeder!. There
was a Dark  Alakazam in my hand so I bred Abra, attached an energy to it and
passed. He drew and atteched a double colorless to Exeggute , discarded
Clefairy Doll, evolved Exeggute to Exeggutor and did Big eggsplosion with 3
coin flips and only 2 heads. I drew, benched another abra, and passed. His
turn, attached a double Colorless  and flipped 3 heads out of five. My turn.
I had a fully powered up Dark Alakazam, Scooped up Chansey to bring out DK
Alakazam, put Chansey on my bench again and Teleport Blasted to the Exeggutor
and brang out my Chansey. He drew and did potion on Exeggutor and Big
Eggsplosion for 100 to my chansey. My turn. I switched to dark alakzam, and
teleport blasted to bring out my other chansey on my bench. His turn, drew
and did big eggsplosion to my chansey for another 100. My turn, I drew a
PokeCenter, and healed those chanseys, scooped up the active chansey and
brang out DK Alakazam and Mindshocked for the KO. His turn, he said there was
nothing to do with his bench or anything he he forfeits.

1-0

Match 2- Versus William with water deck.
He starts with Seel with a benched Farfetch'd
He headbutts for 11 turns until he forfeits.
2-0

Match 3- Versus Ryan with Electric Deck.
I start with chansey and he starts with Base Pikachu and no Pokemon on his
bench. He goes first. He attaches an energy to Pikachu and Gnawwed. I drew,
and attached an energy to my benched Abra and Passed. He attached an energy
to Pikachu and did Thunder jolt with no damage to him. My turn. I drew, it
was Dark Alakazam. I had a breeder in my hand so I bred abra to DK Alakazam.
i attached an energy to it and passed. His turn. He draws and did thunder
Jolt with no damage again to Pikachu. My turn. I attached an energy to Dark
Alakazam, switched to Alakazam and Mindshocked for the win.
3-0

Well thats all the matches. I used mostly my AeroHaymaker deck in the rest
the the Matches. I couldn't get in the Second Session.

Cards you shouldnt put in a Stall deck.
Bill-
Ok, you don't want to deck your self in game play. I suggest you shouldnt put
it in a stall deck
Professor Oak-  read Bill
Computer Search- Ok, you're discarding 2 cards you need? That's weird. Don't
put it in your deck.
Scyther- Only for other decks.
Hitmonchan- Definitly no!!!
Pokedex- Any person that wants to be ash ketchum puts it in their deck. The
card sucks.
Snorlax- Chansey is better.......
Likitung- Read Snorlax.
Double Colorless- It's ok, but if you attach it to a Chansey and do scrunch,
you will have a 50% chance on preventing damage.

Well, that's all, wait! Props and slops!

Props:
To me for still being undefeated (Im 12-0)
For me getting good cards in my neo 2 boosters when I bought them at this
place called Power Gamer.
For getting my prerelease Misty's Seadra and Dark Gyarados.
Slops:
For me being the last one.
Me again to being so dumb in my last report.
Slops to Power Gamer for buying cards cheaper than they sell.

Well, that was the report. I hope you can post it! Thanks!
