Pokemon League

I went the Pokemon League on Saturday to try out my new deck. I did very
good, having a 4-1 record. There was about 30 people. The league allowed Jap
cards, thats why in my decklist I put the version of pokes that there is only
one english version of. My deck is called Scrumpdiddlyumptious.I got the idea
from Brett Larwick's Psychic Dance deck I saw in an issue of Pojo's magazine.
Read the strategy after the deck.

4 F. Gastly
3 F. Haunter
3 F.Gengar
3 MP Mewtwo
3 F. Ditto
2 J. Scyther
18 Psy Energy
4 DCE
4 Oak
3 Computer Search
3 Plus Power
4 Gust of Wind
4 Energy Removal
2 Mr.Fuji
The strategy is to multiple Gengar on my bench, using curse when i need to,
while hiiting my opponents active with Mew2, Scyther, or Ditto, depending
what their active pokemon is. High numbers of Oak and Search increase my
chance of getting one in  my opening hand, so i can discard Psy energy to be
absorbed for a turn 2 Psyburn.

Game 1: Me vs. My brother with Cleaner
This game didnt last long. His licktung resisted most of my pokes, and when i
did hit him he scoop up licki and bring out another. He didnt even need to
bring out arcanine and Clean. I decked my self trying to get Scyther and Plus
Powers.

Next Game: Me vs. Some Guy with crappy Raindance
I started with Scyther to his Kangaskhan. He built up his bench while i
slashed away. When Kanga was Ko'ed He brought up a Dark Blastoise and
hydrocannoned Scy for 30. I retreated Scy and promoted a ditto that i put 2
Psy energy on earlier. I added a DCE and hydrocannoned for the win by him
running out basics.

Next Game: Me vs. Ilia with Psy-Fire
This match was back and forth with our Mew2s taking out each other every
turn. Fortunately i got the first KO  so I won when he had 1 Prize left.

Last Game of the day:  Me vs. Some guy( different than the Some guy i battled
earlier)with Mono-Fighting(he he he)
We didnt have much time left before the league ended but I knew i could win
fast.
On the 2nd turn, it was my pumped Scy vs. his machop(base). I oaked 3 Times
to get the needed Plus Powers for KO and win due to his lack of bench.

And now Props and Slops
