next. After all the controversy with Trap, I decided to use it. It turned out
it wasn't as good as it seemed, but the Rocket Sneak Attack was the real
slapper. I decided to take out the Traps, Imposters, and all that other
garbage, and I put in Energy removals. I got this good idea from my friend
Phil Mondiello (Currently ranked in the low 1900's.) This is the creation
that won me first place in a DCI tournament.

Ok,
I know, what is the Rocket's Training Gym there for?? Very simple,
stalling purposes. When they are Energy screwed this makes a good combo with
Energy Removal, if you do not want your opponent to retreat. I don't really
think there are any GREAT cards in Neo. Maybe Snesal, Bellsprouts Tower, and
other cards but I think Recycle Energy is cool.
Round 1~ vs. Harrison Beach w/ HayDitto
Wow!! Is this kid for real?? Retreating
a Ditto with 60 Damage on it.
This is one of the mistakes that you can make without knowing. Then Again, He
is only eight. Wiggly stopped by for a visit on turn two, and never left.
1~0
Round 2~vs. "Copy a Deck And Win" Andrew w/ Wigglychan
This kid was sitting around for two weeks
copying me and Phil's deck.
Early in the game he Rocket Sneack Attacked me with sent me on a slump. I
Lassed and it went back and forth. It was such a long game and he decked me
out. ):
1~1
Round 3~vs. Dave Koran w/ Sponge
I had to face my good friend Dave Koran.
Luckily this 6'2" monster did
not stand a chance against me. He had a great hand in the beginning but
fortunately I had RSA's to back me up. He kept on calling interference with
the coin and it was annoying. Wiggly + Plus Powers = WIN.
Round 4~vs. Tom Donegan
Wow! I'm lucky, I face little kids! But
Tom is good so we played it out
and I kinda Destroyed him. No details needed
3~1
Semi-Finals~vs. Andrew w/ Copied Wigglychan
4 Energy Removal, 3 Rocket Sneak
Attack, 2 Wigglytuff, and a Rocket's
Zapdos in a pear tree. Happy Christmas Eve, you copycat!!!
4~1
Final Match~vs. Joe Donegan w/ Energy Removal Surprise
This was a pretty tough opponent. He had
great strategy,a great hand,
and a whole lot of crazy ideas. he went first putting a DCE on Jigglypuff. I
then quickly Energy Removed it and got my Wiggly out before him. He had two
out and so did I. It was crazy how he was trying to stall at the end, but he
had less cards in his deck and stalled him self out to second place.
5~1
I am now mostly focussing for DCI points in
Magic and Poke'mon. I am in
the mid 1700's now. It was a really great day overall, but it was all cause
Phil Mondiello wasn't there. The person who defeats me the most.
