Yo, it’s General Raikou. Heres one of my many Deck Reports. No more tournehs at TRU, but possibly at this rich person’s house on the rich side of town. =/ Here is the first one at Walden Books. There was a $2 entree fee. ;/ I was gonna use RipTide of 0wnage since I had been on a luck streak with it, but I saw like loaeds of grass and since Jeff forgot his laptop for the tourneh, I had time to get another deck going. I got loads of good cards with me at most everywhere I go that’s Pokeymanz Related. =/ Hmmm lets think up a wack name for this deck…;/ (btw on my computer I can read red on dark blue easily, so if you can’t, your computer or eyeballs have probs and u need to get it or them checked=/)
Recharge Burst of 0wnage

4 Quilava L35
4 Typhlosion(recharge)

-----Trainers (21)
2 Cinnabar Gym

The Key Strategy: Get typhlosions out going and bursting and recharging like wh0a. Un0wn D for umbreon, iggly for slowkings, and that’s bout it. The only threat was feraligatr, but with b’s arcy I have a chance.
The usual crowd of good players showed up today. No negleh(n00b), schloss, or kwame, but hey we gotta play neways. To the battles! =/
Round 1 vs. David Kennedy
Quick battle. I got cynaquil and cleffa, vs. a loan neo 2 caterpie. He does spin tackle on my cleffa,and I retreat and KO his caterpie with cynaquil’s fireworks for the game. Took less than a minute, maybe better luck next time.
Record: 1-0 3 points
I recorded names and crap down for like every round except 3 because my games took no more than 10 minutes a piece.
Round 2 vs. David Duterte (Duterle =/)
Very good game, but I had my typhlosion powered up with backup troops in hot pursuit.(b’s arcy) and just overpowered his slowkings and 3 neo onix.
Record: 2-0 6 points
Round 3 vs. Ben Bailey
He played almost the exact same deck as David Duterte. He basically had nothing, but at the beginning he had a chance to wipe me. All I had was iggly vs. his tyrogue and onix. He messed up on the flips and I was able to get cynaquil and a few buddies on my bench. I got an arcanine going and just wiped through his steelix, onix and slowpokes.
Record: 3-0 9 points
=/=/=/=/=/
Round 4 vs. Donald
He had only a lone dratini but soon got a s’s gastly. This guy is one of the few to not play an archetype, which is great and I respect that. He was actually doing pretty well with this dark dragonite deck. I almost had him in the beginning with my quilava, but I couldn’t get the nrg I needed, but I held out and got another phlosion going and then another. With only babies and typhlosions in my active and bench slots I kept double gusting for dark golbats, Koing them in a hit. I took out the dark dragonite and sabrina’s haunter to win it.
Record: 4-0 12 points
I was hoping to not play a fera deck since I haven’t faced one at all yet, but that did not come true…
Round 5 vs. Michael Reynolds (with fera)
He started out bad with just totdiles and no drawing power. While I had a cyndaquil and a few elms to get me going. He almost gets rid of my typhlosions but I get heads on focus band. All he has is a fully powered croconaw. I take it out with one flame burst for the game.
Record: 5-0 15 points
I came in first over everyone. YAY I get 6 whole rocket booster packs. Yippe skippee. The store is out of genesis boosters and has no revalation, so Im stuck with junky rocket boosters. I’m not complainin, but I rather just keep the $2 I payed to get in the tourney.
