Roughly 12 Participants

In all my days of playing the Pokemon TCG I would have to say this deck is

right up there. The whole idea of my deck is to shut down colorless Pokemon

while still keeping the game fun. Originally this was meant to go against

Clefairy and Clefable by using Sprout Towers to lower there metronome

attacks. I also chose Pokemon with attacks 30 or below. If I have a Sprout

Tower out they are useless. My opponent chooses the pace at which we will

play, either for speed or for a stall, that’s what is so good about this

deck. I can just use the Oak’s and Cp search’s to get what I need (Don’t we

all). I put all the weight on my 3types of Pokemon. No matter the

circumstances I usually have my opponents weakness. I dislike babbling about

this deck so I present to you Dream Weaver:

Dream Weaver:

4 Fossil Magmar

4 Neo Gligar

4 Jungle Scyther

4 Sprout Tower

4 Professor Oak

4 Cp Search

2 Plus Power

4 Gold Berry

2 Energy Removal

2 Scoop up

3 Super Energy Removal

2 Rocket Sneak Attack

3 Gust of Wind

10 Fire Energy

4 Rainbow Energy

4 DC Energy

Match 1 vs. Mike

    Mike is my brother; he plays a decent Wiggly/Meganium deck. I got a

starting hand of 2 RSA, 1 DCE, 1 Gligar, 1 Cp Search, and 1 Oak. He only had

a Jigglypuff so I was looking for the first turn KO. I went first and

searched for a Pluspower. I attached the DCE to Gligar and then Oaked. I

received another Pluspower in my hand and layed it down.

1-0

Match 2 vs. Jake

    I noticed a lot of players had the new Neo 2 Scizor card. I think he got

way to much play. However he is good in some strategies he only ads 10 hp to

Scyther and still keeps the weakness to fire. My opponent Jake started with a

Scyther and attached a Metal energy first turn, so it was obvious he was

going to evolve. I had a 2Magmar, 2 fire energies, 1 Rsa, 1Gow, and an Oak.

He went first. On my turn I Smokescreened his Scyther, however evolving ends

the effect of the Smokescreen. Next turn he evolved his Scyther and he

Falseswiped me. I took a chance and attached the second energy to Magmar and

used Smog. He became poisoned. He Falseswiped again and was KO’d.

2-0

Match 3 vs. Jiggles

    This kid is very peculiar. He played with his deck in top loaders. I

complained to the judges but they had no objection. This was ridiculous

because he couldn’t shuffle his deck. I knew I could win anyway. I won the

coin toss and started with a gligar. Jiggles had an Aipom. In my opinion the

worst card in the Neo Genesis set. I attached a DC to gligar and Cp Searched

for a Pluspower. I then Slashed for the win.

3-0

Match 4 vs. Dylan

    Dylan was my toughest opponent of the day. He has a great Wiggly/Sneasel

deck. I didn’t shuffle well since the last battle and this gave me a terrible

hand. After he pounded through all four of my Magmar it was over. I never

drew any Oaks or Cp Searches to help me find what I needed. I made sure I

shuffled for the next match.

3-1

Match 5 vs. Duff

    This guy is a new comer to the league and contests. I wasn’t suppose to

play him but do to bad ruling I had to. Our match lasted about a half our and

it was a grueling one. I defeated his Scizors, Enteis, and Skamory with ease.

This match ended in a win for me and a spot in the final match.

4-1

Match 6 vs. Dylan

    I made sure I shuffled this time and drew a pretty good hand. He began

with a Sneasel and a Jiggly on the bench. I had a Gligar and a Magmar on my

bench. He can predict coin tosses without even thinking about it. Of course

he went first and attached a Dark energy to his Sneasel. His Fury Swipes only

worked once, which kept Gligar alive. I attached a DCE to Gligar and Slashed

with a Pluspower. Dylan had a Gold Berry on his Sneasel so I didn’t want to

use both that I had in my hand. If I waited for next turn the Gold Berry

would have been useless. He Fury Swiped me again and I received no damage. I

then Rsa’d to get rid of a Scoop Up he was awaiting to play. I Slashed again

with the Pluspower to defeat his Sneasel. Since the second turn he had a

Wiggly on his bench. It was powered and ready to go however his bench was

empty and I had a sprout tower out. He couldn’t do anything. He tried to put

me to sleep but I just flipped heads at the beginning of my turn.  Two turns

later I was proclaimed the winner.

5-1

I received a 1st edition Rocket box for my win. I had also bought a 1st

edition Neo Discovery box before the contest. As you can imagine I had a lot

of packs to open. I received every card in the Neo Discovery set except for 6

rares. I am planning on building a Dark Crobat/ Light Dragonite from the

recent Neo 4 packs I picked up. So look for this deck and more in my future

writings.

Props to Chris and Ryan at NDC.

Slops to Duff for cheating my brother out of a win.
