Match 1 vs. A typical newbie deck

Easy match. He reckoned that I wouldn't beat him. I start with TR scyther and kill his Dratini, Dark dragonite, Zapdos,Moltres, Dark charmeleon and Blaines moltres with a plus power. His deck had hardly any energy and trainers like pokedex.

Card of the match: TR scyther killed everything.

 

Match 2 vs. newbie's friend.

I start with venonat(ouch!) and him eevee. He goes first and attaches DCE to eevee quick attack with tails. I draw Rocket's Scyther.  I attached a grass to venonat and used stun spore with tails. He places a TR Koffing and TR Machop on the bench after using a bill. He Quick attacks with tails. I attch potion energy and use leech life getting rid of all damage. he quick attacks with heads. I leech life and attach grass to TR Scyther. He plays an energy to koffing and quick attacks with tails. I attach DCE to TR scyther and play scyther and electabuzz onto my bench after using bill and retreat for TR scyther and kill eevee.He sends out koffing and does tackle.I kill it an d get TR zapdos as a prize. He sends out another koffing which I kill and then kill machop with Pluspower and win due to no bench.

 

Crd of the Match: TR Scyther, same as in match 1

 

Match 3 vs. newbie's other friend.

I start with TR scyther and scyther benched and kill his TR charmanders and base Charmanders. He finally revives base charmander and evolves it.I say no. He asks the gym leader and the gymleader says he can't. I use blinding scythe on his moltres. He attaches to charmander and evolves to dark Charmeleon. I kill moltres. He sends out Dark Charmeleon and Evovles but doesn't have enough energy to use fire ball so he uses nail flick. I use blynding scythe so he has 20 hp left. He kills TR Scyther and i send out my only other Pokemon scyther ouch. I oak and get TR zapdos!! I retreat and use plasma to win.

Card of the match: TR Zapdos/ TR scyther, TR zapdos won the match but Tr scyther got me loads of prizes.

 

Match 4 vs. Grass chopper deck

This yet again was easy. I start with scyther. Him Pinsir. I go first. Attach a grass energy and say swords dance. He uses enegry search and gets it out. I say he has to show me it. He does and it was a machoke. He shuffles it back in and gets potion enegy. I say it has got to be basic. He finally chooses grass. He attaches to benched sandshrew . I kill it with slash. After a while he kills scyther. I send out electabuzz. And kill his benched oddish with GOW and Pluspower. He sends out sandshrew and sand attacks. I retreat and send out scyther. I slash with tails. He retreats for Pinsir and attaches DCE. I slash. He attaches grass for some reason. I kill it. He sends out his only poke sandshrew. I kill it with heads.

Card of the Match: Scyther, Killed his pokemon including pinsir on turn 2.

 

Match 5 vs. Electric/ Water Deck

We played for 3 Prizes. I started with TR Scyther. He had eevee. He won the flip. He attaches DCE and uses Quick attack with heads. I use shadow Images. He evolves into Vaporeon and quick attacks with tails.I attach and shadow images. He quick attacks again getting through shadow images with heads. I send out scyther and swords dance. He uses Quick attack with tails. I attach and use slash. He evolves his benched Pikachu into dark raichu and lays water energy on vaporeon and quick attacks with tails. I attach lightning enegy to TR Zapdos ( which I just drew) and retreated and plasmaed. He sent out dark raichu and surprise thundered with tails. I use plasma. He attaches a defender and surprise thunders with tails. I use electroburn and do 50 but kill myself. I send out scyther thinking l'll win. He lays ANOTHER DEFENDER. And uses surprise thunder. I send out venonat to get rid of defender knowing he can't kill me. His turn. He draws and smiles I wondered why then BOOM! He lays down Pluspower! Nooooo! I reckon he cheated though coz when I RSAed him I saw his hand but some other cards were on the table.

Card of the Match: TR Zapdos, eve though it knocked itself out it killed 1 and almost killed another.    

 

Match 6 vs. Cam with Rocket's Mewtwo deck.

This match was embarrassing. I start with TR Scyther and no grass energy or DCE or anything that could get me them. He starts with abra and a benched Rocket's Mewtwo. I win the flip. I attach rainbow and use Shadow Images. He attaches and psyshocks with 2 heads. I attach a Lightning energy still not drawing a Basic. He retreats for TR Mewtwo. Attaches and says go. I attach and use Blinding scythe. He uses Juxtapose with heads. I draw and yet again it isn't a basic. Needing to survive i use Shadow images. He attaches and uses Hypnotic wave with heads to win.

Card of the match: TR Mewtwo! It was the only good card in the game
