It's me again. I've decided to make jump aboard the band wagon and make a slowking, except I didn't want to use sneasal because of his attacks. instead, I chose murkrow (as u can tell by the title). anyway, I thought I'd try it out at a tournament, so here's my deck

Slowkrow

3 slowpoke (rockets)
3 slowking
2 ditto
2 murkrow
2 rockets mewtwo
2 scyther (Jungle)
4 DCE
4 dark energy
12 psychic energy
3 GOW
3 energy retrieval
2 energy removal
3 SER
3 prof. oak
3 item finder
3 scoop up
3 comp. search
3 nightly garbage run

this was a different tournament, the judge separated the people into 4 groups, and the top 2 from each group would go on.

round1 vs damage swap
he started with an abra and chansey, i started with scyther and murkrow, I got to go first. As soon as we started, I tried to get rid of his abra, but he eventually got it into an alakazam, but I didn't have to worry, my bench was full with slowking, murkrow and rockets mewtwo, and after a while, I just plowed through his pokes with rockets mewtwo using GOWs and item finders.
1-0
round2 vs sneasal/wiggly
I have to say I got lucky on this one. He started with a lone sneasal and I had everything, slowpoke, slowking, dark energy, murkrow and an oak, and I got to go first.I attached the dark and mean looked. he drew and passed. I evolved slowpoke searched for another dark energy, attached it to murkrow and oaked. I got 2 more slowpoke and he still had just sneasal, so I feinmt attacked for 40. afteer that draw he still had nothing so I feint attacked for the win.
2-0
round3 vs anti-slowking
I knew I would have to face an anti-slowking deck sooner or later (damn those igglybuff ). I started with rockets mewtwo and scyther, he started with igglybuff and murkrow. by the time he got his murkrow up and running, I had just kknocked out his igglybuff and had a couple energy's on rockets mewtwo and a slowking, but igglybuff prevented that. I attached a dark to scyther and slashed for 40, he feint attacked and killed me. I brought up mewtwo and killed his murkrow with psyburn. All he had left was a lone magmar. he had no energy and couldn't do anything, so I searched for a dark energy and attached it to mewtwo to psyburn for the win
3-0
If I wanted to make it to the top 8, I could only lose one battle
round4 vs raindance
this match was a good game. We both got our evolutions on about turn 5, but I had 2 slowking and couldn't get his oak to work so I sent out rocket's mewtwo after he knocked out murkrow. I only had 2 energys and decided to add one and  pass. he pumped me for fifty. I added another energy and juxtaposed succussfully, he pumped again for fifty. I knocked out his blastoise and he 2 sqiurtle on bench. I easily took down both of his sqiurtle because he had no energy, and all that time my slowking deneid him of his oak.
4-0
At this time someone in my group had quit and left so everyone who hadn't played him got a win, there were 2 people who didn't play him, one of those people was me. So I made it to the top 8 win or lose this match, but I wanted to go for a perfect round. So I played anyway
round5 vs dodrio
This guy was one of my friends and I built this deck for him, and so far he went 5-0 to, so both of us went on to the top 8, but I this deck and it's loaded with trainers. I started with murkrow, scyther and slowpoke, he started with rockets zapdos and doduo. he kept on plasmaing my scyther over and over, I kept scooping him up and sending him back out ( because of murkrow ). than eventually I SER his zapdos and layed slowking and feint attacked with murkrow for 40 damage. after that slowking was down I got another one and another one and just shut down his trainers, he was able to get more basic on the bench, but no energy to attack with, so I knocked out all his pokes with 1 murkrow, thanks the help of 3 slowking.
6-0
qaurter finals vs houndoom
This was another one of my friends, but i haven't seen this deck before. He started with ditto, magmar and scyther. I started with slowpoke and ditto. He smokescreened me but I got througj it and poisined him with a doublecolorless. all he did was smokescreen because he was buiding up a houndour on the bench. Soon after I knocked his magmar, I got a slowking and SER his houndour on the bench. I was biulding up rockets mewtwo for ditto, and gusted out what was houndour and plundered for 40( DCE=2 dark). so, all he had left was a scyther and a ditto, well of course I got rid of his ditto with mewtwo, I also added a dark energy to get riid of his of scyther.
7-0
semifinals vs haymaker
This battle was a little to easy for a semifinal match, he had a hitmonchan, I had a scyther, mewtwo and a slowpoke. I got slowking out on the second turn and slashed for thirty. he still got nothing so I searched for a dark energy and slashed for the win.
8-0
finals vs dodrio
I had to face Brian in the finals. The game went on exactly like last time, he plasmas, I scoop up. unfortunetly, he got to oak before I got slowking out ( I should really add eeeeeeek + lass combo ) and started to energy removal everything, but luckily I recovered and got out slowking  in a hurry and started to psyburn. by the end both of use had one prize, he had a hitmonchan and i had SLOWKING. I can't beleive all I had left was a slowking. At least I got to add my energy first, so we kept on adding energy until i got an energy removal ( that was my last energy removal and brian had already used all of his up) so I got to use mindblast, but got a tails, but it didn't matter because brian used up everything he needed, itemfinder, energy removal, and pluspower, so all he could was jab and i mindblasted for the win, i still can't beleive I won that game attacking with slowking
