The reason that my deck is called "The Deck that Shouldn't Be" isn't because it's revolutionary in the way we play pokemon, It's because it wasn't the one I wanted to play, My friend built it as a back up in case someone forgot there deck, and I was in the van and my friend nick and I were testing our decks ( yes the nick that got cheated in my opinion)and his brother didn't like it, it was a tr blastoise and kingdra, so he hid it and I had to use this one, I had friends there: Tim H. Sam Y. Alice Y. and Nick Y. well here it goes! pokemon 23 4x neo slowpoke 3x slowking 2x mp mewtwo 1x nd caterpie 1x Erika bellsprout { I couldn't decide which one!!!) 3x murkrow 2x igglybuff 2x promo smergal 3x cleffa 1x unown m 1x unown n trainers 25 4x elm 2x double gust 2x trp 3x chaose gym 2x ngr 2x Sprout tower ( in case I get stuck) 2x rsa 4x energy flow 2x focus band energys 12 4x darkness 1x recycle 7x pshycic okay, first round Me vs jake negally( blaine's This was a very bad game from the start, first, I mulliganed, then I got stuck with an iggly, he had a good blaine's growlith and I got a few lucky flips but iggly got hit with a body slam once, and I finally got a mewtwo (yeah!) and retreated iggly and attached a purple energy to mewtwo and passed, he drew and to my dismay, it was a blain's arcainie (douh!) and he attached another red energy and firestormed my offensive mewtwo noooooooooooo! well here comes iggly >.<. I draw, puple energy, pass, he draws attaches, pass, I draw, It's a cleffa! I ek and end my turn, I get a slow king a poke and a chaos and a crow and 2 dark, and a double gust, at this point I was excited, but, tides changed once more, he attached heat tackled, baby flip heads, no basic, I lose. 0-1 2nd round me vs alice ( vinding typhlosion deck) this pitting angered me, cuz I could walk down the street to play her but oh well, it was an easy match, I started with crow and two pokes on the side,and she started with a lone erika's bellsprout with an elm in my hand I go first elm, got 2 darkness a king and some other energy, I attach mean look the erika bellsprout, next turn, she attaches a fire energy and tackles, I draw I evolve I attach a dark to crow, I feint attack for 30 and she gets a cleffa and she warp points heads ( I didn't understand but,) and eeeeeks, next turn elm, get another king and some other things including a chaos and I evolve and feint to knock out the sprout, next trun, she puts down fireworks cyndiquil and eeeeeeeks, I then see my chance, I lay down chaos and I mean look cleffa, needles to say, I eventally won on prizes. 1-1 me vs Marcus I think his name was (arcanine again) i was doing well at first, he had a cleffa and I had a mewtwo and a crow but mewtwo was my active and I attached a purple and passed, he didn't have a basic, he attached an eked, I draw, darkness!!! I have an elm I attach it to crow and elm, I draw it all, and I get all sorts of good things like 2 pokes 1 king and a chaos and 2 darnesses and a phsycic, and I put down 2 pokes and sat, he still didn't get any basics he eked again, and I drew low and behold it's a king ( it's christmas!!!) I evolve twice attach a purple to mewtwo retreat brought in crow and mean looked his cleffa ( yeah!!!) next turn he lays down a blaine's growlith and tries the super scoop ( keep in mind he has to get 4 heads for it to go) flips for chaos heads, first king heads, 2nd king heads! fpr it to work heads!!! I was very angry at this point he super's it and puts out his growlith and attaches to it and stokes, I get nervouse, I figure well if he can get 4 heads in a row I can too so I rsa to see his hand heads I see hand I see an elm a super scoop and a blains arcainine (!) so I decide to use th rockets trap, I figure this is the game flip for chaos, heads (!) flip for working tails >.< I attach to mewtwo and I feint the growlith for 40 he draws attachs a focus band attaches and evolves heat tackle, I'm down to 10, I attach to mewtwo and I have a double gust, I KNOW this is the game I flip and I send in the cleffa, flip, HEADS!!! for some reason he sends in my mewtwo (?) I retreat send in the crow and mean look the cleffa, well this is were it changes he drew a card and elmed and shuffled his hand in and nobody notices until it was said and done but I let him have it and he had a clefairy for this sort of situation and he sends in arcainine and heat tackles for the knock out, from then on he just massacered my side of the bored dang...I loose 1-2 4th round me vs josheph something with like a deck like miine but no kingdra this was a bad game, to sum it up, he got dark blastoise up and running well by thrid turn, I loose in 5 minutes >.< 1-3 last game at this point the beckley crew is looking like this: Nick: 4-0 leader Tim:2-2 2nd Me: 1-3 3rd Alice: 0-4 last ( yeah, I'm not last) right now I'm in a bet with tim that I'll finish ahead of him I started in the begining. so I gotta win. last game me vs sorry, I don't remember your name e-mail me with what appered to be an espeon deck. I was very confident being he had nothin that could hurt crow but eevve ( this was non-holo espie) This was a sinch, I wet first and I had a crow and he had a sabrina's mime I had two pokes on the bench and a king in hand, well I won the flip and got to go first, I mean looked the mime, he didn't have anything to bail him out of it, I won by prizes well before time. overall record 2-3 It was my first real tourny and it was bad, oh well, I'll get them next time. : ) now for props and slops props: for my parents and nicks parents for taking us for me beating timmy ( HA ) for our cars for me for getting 20th for nick for getting 4th for timmy for getting 21st for sam meeting a cool british guy who traded me a flying pika for a misty's seadra slops: for sam for hiding my deck for blaine's arcainine for my parents for not letting me go to pittsburgh for me being nice and letting the elm go for the people at star city for disqualifying nick for star city for not having regular neo for neo discovery for being such a bad set for Alice for getting last E-mail me blitz_15@juno.com thanks McKinley Sayre __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
