Date: 6/24/00 Place: OK Sports Collectibles City: Lawton State: Oklahoma Time: 12:00 P.M.-5:00 P.M. Trainer: John Doudican Deck Type: Psychic Deck Name: Greed This tournament was just a weekly gatering we had. It isn't for the STS, it is just for the enjoyment of playing Pokèmon TCG against other people. Although this is just a weekly gathering, there are prizes given to the undefeated winner at the end of the day. There are a lot of cocky psychic players at my local leagues, so I decided to try my luck with a psychic deck. Deck Setup: Pokèmon- 4 Gastly(Fossil) 4 Haunter(Fossil) 4 Gengar(Fossil) 3 Abra(R) 2 Kadabra(Base) 1 Alakazam(Base) 3 Kangaskhan 2 Mr. Mime 2 Chansey Trainers- 4 Bill 3 Energy Retrieval 2 Professor Oaks 2 Gust of Winds 2 Pokèmon Traders Energy- 22 Psychic Here is my "Killer Report" Round One-Greed VS. Eclipse This deck was almost a replica of mine! He had four Gengar and one Alakazam. Anyways, the match started out like this. At the coin flip, I asked for heads, and it went in my favor. I drew my seven and pulled two Gastly and five energies. I had no other choice but to put a Gastly on my bench and one as my opening Pokèmon. I drew my card...a Haunter! I laid an energy on Gastly and used lick on his Abra for 20, and paralysis set in! My next turn I pulled and energy and evolved my active Gastly into Haunter. I put an energy under him an used Nightmare for the win. So Far:1-0 Round Two-Greed VS. Rain Dance Not much to say here. I drew my seven and got two Mr. Mime, one Chansey, and four energies. I sent my Mime out and it was against a Magikarp. I drew my card and pulled another energy. I set it up on Mime and passed. Once again he pulled a water energy and did flop for 10. I drew my card...another energy. Put it on Mime and did Meditate for 10. He pulled a water energy and did flop for 10. Lets just say the word meditate, and the number 20. So Far:2-0 Round Three-Greed VS.Lightning Pain Close round! We pulled one basic both. I had a Gastly, and he had a Chan. I got to go first and paralysed him and did 20 damage. He came back with a full heal, but then realized I was resistant to fighting! He passed, and then it was my turn. I drew my card. Haunter! I quickly evolved Gastly into Haunter, and used nightmare and put him to sleep, along with 20 damage. He flipped the coin, and was still asleep, so he passed without doing anything. I drew my card. It was a Mime! I slapped him on my bench and put an energy under him and used Haunters Nightmare for 20. He drew his card, it was an Electabuzz. He put him down on his bench a long with an electric energy and passed. I drew my card...a Gengar.. I used his pokemon power and moved a damage counter to 'Buzz and then used Gengars' Dark Mind and put another counter on Electabuzz(thats twenty total if you were paying attention!). I drew my prize. It was a Psychic energy. He pulled out his 'Buzz and used Thunder Shock. Thank god it flipped tails! On my turn I drew an energy. I retreated my Gengar, and pulled out my Mime. I put an energy under him and did Meditate for 30. He knew that he only had one chance left,! so he did Thunder Shock for 10, aSo Far:3-0 Round Four-Greed VS.A Poorly built deck. This guy didn't know what was going on for a long time. He had no idea what he was doing, so I called the ref to the table and gave me the victory. I like refs for that. It turns out the guy had 70 cards instead of 60, and three of them were Pokèmon. So Far:4-0 Round Five(Last round)-Greed VS. Hot Water This was a quicky. I brought out my Mime, and he had a Poliwag. I put an energy under Mime and passed. He did Water Gun for 10 damage. I drew a card. It was a Chansey. I slapped an energy under Mime and did Meditate for 10. then did Water Gun for 20, since he slapped an energy under Wag. I drew my card. It was a Bill. I used it and got two energies. I then did Meditate for 20. This guy didn't realize it, but he had energies on him that it does 20, therefore he can't do damage to my Mime. He passed and I drew my card. A sccop up. I then did Meditate for the win. Ending Record:5-0 I was the winner of the "Get-together", and since I was, I got a box of Basic 2 booster packs, and five Team Rocket booster packs. Out of the Rocket packs I got: Dark Raichu, Holo-Rainbow energy, Dark Charizrd, Dark Alakazam, and Dark Magneton Props: To my mom for driving me there For the prizes The great time Slops: To the guy who didn't know what he was doing The sore losers who lost Want more info on all of my league adventures?
