  WAZZZ UPPPP all you pojo fans out there.  This is Henry again now with
a modified version of my 5 day old Haunted Beach Deck.  In this version,
I use 3 SER instead of 4 ER.  For the other ER i put in an Item Finder
instead and took out 1 Kadabra and 1 Fossil Haunter for 2 more Water
Energy.  I was also going to put in some tenacools but they a just too
weak in attack but great with Alakazam and Cowardice.  Here is the Deck:


Haunted Beach v1.1


Pokemon:

2 Mr. Mimes
1 Movie Mewtwo
1 Chansey
3 Base Abras
1 Base Kadabra
1 Base Alakazam
3 Fossil Gastlys
2 Fossil Haunters
2 Fossil Gengars
4 Jigglypuffs
3 Wigglytuffs
3 Base Squirtles
2 Base Wartortles
2 Blastoise (1 Dark and 1 Base)


Trainers

3 SER
3 Pokemon Breeders
1 Scoop Up
1 Pokemon Trader
1 Nightly Garbage Run
1 Item Finder


Energies

8 Psychic
10 Water




Stratagey:  The key of this deck is to get out early Wigglys,
Blastoises, Genrgars, Alakazam, and a Chansey all by at most turn 12.
Then you use the Wigglys and Blastoises to pound on your opponent and
use Gengars to move damage around if theres going to be extra.  Example:
your B-toise is about to knbock out Abra and over kill it.  Use Gengar's
Curse to move 1 damage counter to another pokemon.  Getting out 2
Gengars is awsome pokemon are dieing left and right.  Alakazam and
Chansey is a well known combo that 1 store i played at didn't that combo
anymore, because me and my friend Kevin were just to dominating to stop
in tag and singles tourneys.  The prize was 14 boosters: 2 Neo, 2 Base
Set, 2 Rocket 1st Edition , 2 Jungle, 2 Fossil, 2 Gym Heros, and 2 of
your choice, either Japanese or American.Well here are the results of
this 4 round match:





Rnd 1.  Me vs a kid with Haymaker.

This is why I love this deck.  I got a dream hand, 1 Pokemon Breeder, 1
Squirtle, 1 Base Blastoise, and 3 Water energy.  I sent out Squirtle
against his only basic Fossil Magmar.  I won the coin toss.  I played a
Wter energy on Squirtle and Bubbled for 20 and paralysis.  He played a
Fire on Magmar and passed.  i put down Blastoise with the help of
Breeder and put the other 2 Waters on him with Raindance.  I Hydro
Pumped for the win.

Rnd 2.  Me vs kid with Moltres Stall. ( only had 1 Moltres and 59 Fire
Energy)

I had played this kid before the tourney and had lost because i only
got out a Fossil Gastly and never drew any energy, all i drew was
evolutyions like Wartortle and Blastoise.  But no Haunter or Breeder.
So I was ready to out stall him or destroy that Moltres.  I drew a Mr.
Mime, Chansey, Movie Mewtwo, 2 Psychic and 1 Water energy.  I played
Mime and an energy.  He Wildfired me for 1 card.  I played another
energy and Meditated for 10.  He Wildfired. I Meditated.  He Wildfired.
I Meditated.  He Wildfired. I Meditated for the kill.


Rnd 3.  Bye



Finals: Me vs Kevin with a ALAKAZAM Stall!

This was a battleof mirror decks, except mine had the Item Finder and 3
SERs and his had 4 ER.  That extra removal really helped.  I stalled him
till he was down to 1 card left in his deck.  All he had out was a Dark
Blastoise, Base Blastoise and Alakazam, none of which could hurt me.
Then he forfited and I won the tourney.


I went on to play in a Tag Tourney with Kevin as my partner.  All the
best of 3 games rounds took 30 min or less.  I got 12 boosters from that
also. to make a total of 24 boosters, 4 NEO, 4 Base set, 4 Jungle, 4
Fossil, 4 Rocket 1st Edition , 4 Gym Hereos, and 4 of my choice( I chose
2 Japanese Fossil & 2 Japanese Team Rocket )In those I got some great
holos: Japanese Fossil Mew & Aerodactyle, a Base set Charizard and
Venusaur, 2 Gym Team Rocket Moltres's, 1 American Fossil Haunter 1st
Edition, and a Japanese Here Comes Team Rocket & a Team Rocket Weezing,
and 2 Neo Pichu's  .  Those were my great pulls from the packs.  I
already had the 1st Edition Haunter so I traded it to a lady for 2
Japanese Vending Sheets.  I got 2 cool cards and they were Imakuni's
Computer and the 3D Sandslash.


Props to my friend Kevin for being my partner.
Props to my parents for driving me and Kevin from Fairfax Va to
Baltimore for the tourney.
Props to the store for the invite and letting us participate in the
tourney for free because we were invited.
Props to the cool packs

Slops to people who under estimate the power of Blastiose( I dont think
there are many )
Slops to people who under estimate the big large egg and Alakazam( not
many people )
Slops to people who hate Soccer
