At least like, 30 or somethin... people playing
 
ebArt's back, and he's going to do another deck report.  I was playtesting my Erika's Victreebel deck this week and it still isn't really up to snuff, so I had to go with my tried and trued Feraligatr deck.
 
Blue Mage #69
Pokemon (19)
4 Totodile (Neo Genesis, 50 HP)
3 Croconaw (Neo Genesis, 80 HP)
3 Feraligatr (Neo Genesis, 120 HP)
3 Cleffa (Neo Genesis)
1 Elekid (Neo Genesis)
1 Giovanni's Nidoran F (Gym Challenge)
1 Igglybuff (Neo Discovery)
1 Magby (Neo Genesis)
1 Pichu (Neo Genesis)
1 Wooper (Neo Genesis)
 
Energy (17)
17 Water Energy
 
Trainers (24)
4 Professor Elm (Neo Genesis)
4 Misty's Wrath (Gym Heroes)
3 Trash Exchange (Gym Heroes)
3 Misty's Tears (Gym Challenge)
3 Focus Band (Neo Genesis)
2 Double Gust (Neo Genesis)
2 Nightly Garbage Run (Team Rocket)
2 The Rocket's Training Gym (Gym Heroes)
1 Celadon City Gym (Gym Heroes)
 
Same strategy as last time: Feraligatr comes out and you dump Water in your discard various ways by Downpouring, Trainers, and Retreating.
 
Round 1 vs. Bill (I think was a Tyranitar deck)
I opened with a Giovanni's Nidoran F and he had Larvitars, which worked out great.  I Elmed to get some support and just KOed him with Nidoran.
Record: 1-0
 
Round 2 vs. Jeff (Feraligatr)
Noooo, I always tend to lose against Jeff, especially in Modified.  Lucky for me, I'm playing Focus Band and he's not.  Every deck needs Focus Band, cuz anything can get KOed in one hit.  His Feraligatr got out first, and tried to get my Croconaw, but I got heads on Focus Band. I evolved and killed his easily since he didn't have Focus Band.  The rest was easy, Double Gust anything that's not a baby, and keep flipping on the babies.
Record: 2-0
 
Round 3 vs. DarnitIcan'tremember (?)
Geez, I'm drawing a blank >=O, I can't remember, but I did win.  Sorry whoever played me.
Record: 3-0
 
Round 4 vs. GeneralRai (Feraligatr)
Omg, the battle of the trash (White trash vs. AzN trash, 1337 AzN trash at that) This is an exact mirror match, he's playing a bit more Tech than me.  Let's just cut to the chase.  I Garbage Runed all my Feraligatrs back into my deck so I wouldn't deck out.  My Cleffa is Active.  I was going to Playful Punch, but then I said "Baby Rule", flipped heads, and had to shuffle my hand in my deck, and draw all the cards! :O I'm an idiot
Record: 3-1
 
Round 5 vs. Jake (Feraligatr)
I thought he was playing his weirdo Dark Weezing deck, but he was playing Feraligatr.  I couldn't get a Croconaw or Feraligatr going, and I kept trying to tech him to death with Pichu and Giovanni's Nidoran F, but no avail. I should've saved my first Nidoran for important things and not babies =\
Record: 3-2
 
Yuck, 3-2, that's not great.  I beat Jeff, which will land me a bunch of points, but I lost twice to lower rated players, so my gain will probably be nullified -_-
