After a few weeks of using my Stall deck "Psycho Storm," I became bored with
it and decided to use another one of the more popular archtypes, Tuff
Stuff/Wiggly Wonder/ Etc. I am now obsessed with it due to it's extreme
power. I reccomend it to anyone looking for a solid deck type.
Here it is!
Eskimaphobia (The fear of eskimos, P.S. don't ask)
Pokemon:17
4xJigglypuff (an awsome basic pokemon with great HP)
4xWigglytuff (60 damage on turn 2, I LOVE IT!)
3xScyther (what hasn't been said before, free retreat, 70 HP, colorless
attack, I must be dreaming)
3xElectabuzz (great way to take out those nasty randance)
3xHitmonchan (not as popular since Scyther but I see way too much cololess to
forget this guy)
Trainers:19
4xBill (my best friend, comes to my house for tea on Sunday's)
3xProfessor Oak. (also comes for tea)
3xComputer Search (get that PlusPower/DCE/whatever the heck you want!)
4xPlus Power (great way to catch an opponent off guard)
3xGust of Wind (get rid off a big guy or gust out a weak one, or both at the
same time!)
2xItem Finder (helps to finish off the late game)
2xChallenge (the ultmate card for a Wiggly deck, just don't overstock)
Energy:22
10xFighting
8xElectric
4xDCE

I got to go to both leagues today, got some great trades, got the new (yet
pretty bad) promo, and had a heck of a lot of fun.
HERE WE GO!
After ariving at Toys'R'Us, I grabbed a pretzel for breakfast and watched a
few matches before joining in myself. I also did some trading and got some
great deals. My Non-Holo 1st Edition Charizard for a Blastoise (=D), a Base2
Zapdos for the Evolved Form of Onix (Hurugunu?...Hugurunuwu?, Hugruganew?)
and a Holo American Mew (I have 5, calm down) for a Steel Energy. Started
Thinking about making a steel deck but shrugged it off and started to play

Match 1 vs. Kid w/ Water/Colorless deck.
A great match with me getting a Computer Search, Wigglytuff, Electabuzz,
Hitmonchan, DCE, Fighting, and Electric. I couldn't decide between Hitmonchan
and Electabuzz so I did my extremly complicated process of choosing
(enny-meany-miny-mo) I chose Hitmonchan and to my luck his active was
Snorlax. I proceded to kill the first and he sent out another. He retreated
it while it had 80 damage on it and sent out Squirtle. Meanwhile I had
managed to get a full bench with 2 Fully Powered Wigglys! I killed the
Squirtle after he paralyzed me 3 times in a row (I hate that) and then his
Snorlax killed Hitmonchan. I pretended to be disaponted but them he almost
went nutso when he saw my Wiggly. Game Over Man! Game Over!
1-0

Match 2 vs. Newbie w/ Grass/Psychic deck.
Very Quick. My Scyther to his Base Gastly (please ignore me as I pass out
laughing) with him having Zubat and Rocket Grimer on the bench.  Took out the
Gastly with a Slash, the Zubat with a Slah and a PlusPower, then used 2 Oaks
and 3 Bills to get a Computer Search which I used to get a PlusPower for the
win.
2-0

Match 3 vs. Newbie's Newbie Friend (say that 5 times fast) w/ Electric/Water
Deck.
This was the friend of the guy I just faced. He was reluctant to face me but
with an offer of 10 cards in his opening hand he couldn't refuse. He started
with a Rocket Volorb with a Squirtle on the Bench. I had the Buzzster as my
Active with a Jiggly on the Bench. He went first but attached to squirle for
some unknown reason. I proceded to power up Buzz' and rip through Voltorb and
Squirtle. I played a Challenge but he declined giving me 2 Basics anyway. He
had a Pikachu with some other Random monsters and I had good old Wiggly.
Guess what happened. Can you say "Wigglytuff murdered him?" I knew you could.
3-0

Match 4 vs. Kid w/ Fire/Fighting deck.
This kid could not pay attention. He would just say "yeah, I use Flare,
Whatever." Too bad he didn't pay attention and before he knew it I had a
Fully Powered Wiggly layin' the smackdown. Looks like I win huh?
4-0

Match 5 vs. Newbie again
Last match at Toys"R'Us. I wanted it to benice and quick. I had Hitmon, he
had Grimer. I went first, Oaked and Billed like mad to get 2 PlusPowers for
the win.
5-0

Time to go...
When I arrived at Media Play, the GREATEST STORE IN THE WORLD (shameless
plug), I got the new promo. Yay... (not that exciting). I am always the 1st
one there and the last one to leave (can you say obbsessed?) Soon kids
started arriving though and we decided to try something new.
Match 6 vs. EVERYONE (almost)
We had nearly everyone playing, 6 in all (not everyone had arrived). The
rules were as follows.
No Prizes
Last One Standing Wins.
Chose who you want to attack.
When you kill a pokemon you draw a card.
Pretty simple but the rules still have some kinks to work out. After another
extremly complecated picking system (my mother said to pick the very best
one...) We started.
I had Scyther who I switched in for Hitmon, the Gym Leader had a lone
Chansey, my friend had a bunch of random monsters, another kid a Rhyhorn, and
the other 2 didn't really matter that much (ok so I can't remember) The first
one to go was one of the random kids. I powered up a Wiggly and knocked out
some stuff. Then me and my friend decided to team up so I used Challenge on
him and since he accepted we got to fill our benches with some nasty
beasties. We proceded to take them down one by one. His Persian worked pretty
well.  Soon it was me and him and he screwed me bad. With me being the one
who knocked out a bajillion pokemon my draw pile was extremly thin. He
stalled and stalled and stalled by filling his bench over and over again. I
lost by decking but you can't blame me.
5-1

Match 7 vs Gym Leader w/ Fighting/Colorless deck.
I sat around after my first defeat and after an hour I finally decided to
face the Gym Leader. Early on he Killed my Electabuzz but After I got out 3
Scythers and Powered them all he was in trouble. He managed to ER and SER all
my DCE's away but I got back. He powered up a Chansey and Killed a Hitmonchan
and a Scyther with it but with the aid of PlusPower I took down a Kangaskhan.
I retaliated and killed his final Hitmonlee in the Late game.
6-1

Match 8 vs. Gym Leader again.
This won't take long. After I killed a Hitmonlee and a Machoke with Scyther
he forfieted. YAWN...
7-1

I had a great day, made some friends and got some great trades (BLASTOISE!
YEEHAW!)
