This tournament allows any kind of cards, japanesse, american etc.  But I did

not run into any that weren't already in american.

Okay I'm gonna give you the basic run down of the deck before I list how it

did, just so you know a little about how it works.  It gets the title from

the type of deck it is.  I was sick and tired of hearing only about Rocket

Zapdos everytime I heard Pokémon, so I made an anti-deck, hence the Revenge

part.  The deck has several key combos against the Rocket's Zapdos card. 

Clefable, Pokémon Flute and Gust of wind are the key cards in it.  USing

Clefable against an Active Rocket's Zapdos, you Metronome it's Electroburn

attack killing it in one turn and doing no damage to yourself, next turn you

Pokémon Flute it back to their bench and Gust of Wind it back out.  Using

only three cards, you can get two prizes, easily.  Using Items Finders and

more of these you could get a lot of prizes before they can do anything about

it.  Recycle Energy is very good against all the Energy Removals floating

around, also.  All other cards are for back-up in case you can't get your

combo going early on.  And now for the Status Report.

Round one vs. some boy.

He was running a fire deck, and all I got in my draw were two grass Scythers.

 He started out with a Fossil Magmar.  He played that Headband card on his

first turn.  You know the one where if the Pokémon it'sd attached to is gonna

die, flip a coin, if heads it still has 10 HP left.  It was the japanesse

version, so I asked around for an American one, to be safe and read it my own

way.  Badically the first three turns for both of us were for attaching

energy.  I kept him at bay with my energy removals as he attacked me with

Smokescreen.  My Super Potions came in handy a lot.  As I eventually started

wearing the Magmar down and he never got another basic as I killed it for the

win.

1-0

Round two vs. another boy.[ The store moved and I don't know all the new

people, sheesh ]

This guy was the only one daring to use a Fighting Deck in the Rocket's

Zapdos environment.  And it wasn't a very good on at that.  He put up a Base

Set Onix in the Begining, thinking it would last against my Scyther, duh.  I

went first and attached an energy to Scyther.  He attached an energy to his

benched Hitmonchan.  I energy Removaled that and attached a DCE doing 60 to

his Onix.  He didn't do anything his next turn, he was afraid I had another

energy removal in my hand.  Onix died that turn and I drew a prize.  He

brought up a Sandshrew, killed next turn.  This is where my combo came in

handy.  I Pokémon Flute/Gust of Wind comboed against his Onix, killing it

again.  Then he brought in another Sandshrew, he was new.  I killed it next

turn. 

I comboed it back in, killing the Sandshrew again.  He then brought in

Hitmmonchan and did 10 damage to me, due to resistance.  The only damage he

did that game was that 10.  I Gusted  in a Gligar he had on bench for the win.

2-0

Round 3 against Devin, the owners son.

This was the first round I actually had to play against a Rocket's Zapdos

deck.  I couldn't get my combo going so it was a long game.  We started out

with Chanseys and and kept Energy Removaling away each other's energies. 

But, eventually claimed 4 to his two prizes.  MY deck was devistated, though.

 He started stalling and I kept trying to get my last two prizes, his deck

had a lot more in it than mine.  He made a key error when he scooped up his

Chansey and put down a 70 HP creature.  With only 9 cards left in my deck I

killed it with a chansey.  He didn't do anything his next turn except play a

Rocet's Zapdos.  But he put up another Chansey instead of the Zapdos.  I

discarded the last two cards in my Hand for a Gust of Wind, and double edged,

sacrificing the Chansey for the 80 damage to the Zapdos, giving me the win. 

I only had 8 cards left.

3-0

Campionship round against Patrick.

There weren't many people there that weekend so I was already at the final

round.  This guy was actually playing a deck he got from me and changed about

4 cards around.  Oh, well.  This game was interesting.  We both got out

Chanseys and tried to constantly kill each other with them.  That was about

it for a long time, until the energies atarted running dry and we went into

stall mode, but he had done himself in with all the Professor Oaks he had

used in the beginnning.  It was 4-3 with him in the lead, but as the turns

went on his time was definintely limited.  Our Clefables and Chanseys ended

up canceling out each other in this game and it turned into who had more

cards.  I decked him with three cards left in my deck.  This was my first

time to win the tournament.  It was great.

4-0 Final

Well, that was the tournament, it's not much most of the time, but it's all

we've got.  See ya.
