Hey guys. It's been like....5minutes since I last wrote a KDR =P I
was
soooo happy they're finally having tournaments in Colorado Springs.
Next
week, they're gonna be DCI-Sanctioned. Yipeee!!! Anyways, I was
surprised
at the amount of people who came! Here's the deck
Soda Pop (also my STS qualifier winner)
P-17
2 Cleffa
3 Clefairy (Neo)
3 Clefable (DIE ROCKET'S ZAPDOS)
3 Sneasel
2 Murkrow (lock)
2 R. Zapdos
1 Pichu (TecH for Unown)
1 Unown D (ark)
T-25
4 Oak
4 CP Search
3 Itemfinder
3 SER
3 Pluspower
2 Ecogym
3 Gold Berry
2 GOW
1 NGR
E-18
4 Dark
3 Rainbow
3 Recycle (perfect with SER and Clefable)
6 Lightning
2 Metal (Rocket's Zapdos)
Get a second turn Clefable to start copying, UNLESS they have some
weakling that copying their attacks would be useless (i.e. Phanpy).
Start
powering up Rocket's Zapdos with a Metal Energy (newest addition).
Use
Sneasel to clean. Murkrow is also nice to start with to lock em in.
Pretty much, this is a Clefable Lock.
Tournament was swiss, 5 rounds, best 2 out of 3.
Round 1 vs. Autumn Gligars, Mantines, and Lapras, OH MY! (notice the
sarcasm)
First game: I started Sneasel and she had Lapras. I drew, put Cleffa
on
the bench, retreated, attached an energy and Eeeeeeeked. She went,
attached a water energy and failed with Water Gun. I attach a Dark
Energy
to Sneasel and pass. She attaches Water Energy to Lapras, puts Ditto
on
the bench, and gets heads for 20. I draw, fill up my bench, retreat
for
Sneasel, attach a Dark Energy, Gust up his Ditto and ko it with Beat
Up.
After that, it went WAAAAY down hill for her and every pokemon she
sent
up I koed.
Second game: Pretty much the same ordeal, but I used Rocket's Zapdos
and
Metal Energy to continually ko her 60 hp basics.
1-0
Round 2 vs. Michael Perucca (my good friend) who's ranked 13th in the
world now with RAINDANCE!
Before I tell you about the battles, lemme explain that Michael
wasn't
playing Raindance competitively. We both knew the metagame was really
easy (except for like Shaun Case [July reports--ZapHaymaker] and these
2
Steelix players) cause it was a bunch of people from our league. He
was
just having fun.
First Game: I knew his deck and I knew I needed Rocket's Zapdos ASAP.
I
did make a few kos, but he finally koed it with his Blastoise. DOH!
After
that, I couldn't recover and I lost.
Second game: The first game took up so much time, we only had like 10
minutes. I got Clefable early but the coin flips were messing me up.
Actually, I could have won but time was called and since I didn't win
in
one of the three ways, he got the win because he won the first game
and
the second game was considered a tie.
1-1
Round 3 vs. n00b with dumb fighting deck
Since I was 1-1, I was getting paired up with another 1-1 d00d. All I
have to say is oh my gosh
First game: Phanpy. Phanpy. Yes, he was playing Phanpy....well then.
I
started a Rocket's Zapdos which kinda sucked due to his resistance.
However, I knew he couldn't TOUCH me, but I could still do damage
with
Electroburn. I got it with 3 Lightning and 1 Metal Energy and I kept
CP
Searching for Pluspowers to send em up, set em down. I won with
ease.
Second game: Guess what?! *GASP* He got a.....dun dun dun!!!!
RHYDON!!
*GASP AGAIN* I almost started laughing. I used Clefable with a Gold
Berry
to knock it out. He was very disappointed when I koed it. I won.
2-1
Round 4 vs. Energy Trans
First game: I start Murkrow and he goes with Exeggute. I go first and
Mean Look. Ok, I'll go past a lot of stuff. I manage to ko his
benched
fully powered Venusaur and some other guys to bring me down to 2
prizes.
I end up retreating for Sneasel and continually koing his guys. 6-0
win.
Second game: I don't remember a thing about it except that I won.
3-1
Michael is the only one undefeated.
Last Round-5 vs. Damage Swap (there have been some OLD archetypes
around
today!!)
First game: I start a Sneasel and him a promo Mewtwo with Sneasel on
the
bench. He starts cussing at Sneasel's resistance. I draw and put UNOWN
D
ON THE BENCH!! I totally screw him over. I won with ease. Once, he
tried
to Feint Attack Unown D. I explained and he started cussing again.
LoL!!!!!
Second game: I was pretty confident. We were one of the battles that
took
the longest, THUS, getting a huge crowd around us. 9/10 people were
going
for me :-) I end up having 4 prizes left and he had 6 prizes left whe
time was called. We were told we each had 5 turns to finish. One of
us
had to win in one of the 3 ways. I had a Rocket's Zapdos with 3
Lightning
and a Metal attached. I had 5 turns to get 4 prizes. First turn, I
couldn't do anything. Next turn-ko. Next turn-ko. Next turn-ko. Next
turn-he paralyzes me!!! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Oh well. I still got the win
:-)
I end up getting 3rd overall. I got a gym heroes booster with a No
Removal Gym and $5 store credit. Michael went undefeated. Shaun got
second.
