STS Qualifier, King of Prussia Mall, PA
November 20-21
By FuBaRb
 
    I meant to write this like last week or something, but got kinda tied up. Oh well, better now than never. Well, I went to the sts qualifier at king of prussia mall 'cause I felt like goin to sts, and I did pretty good. (and that's an understatement) ok, here is ze deck!
 
    
Pokemon (15)
3 Wigglytuff - yes, another wiggly deck
4 jigglypuff
2 Scyther - amazing starter, but loses his power in mid to late game, so only 2 are needed here)
3 Hitmonchan - takes out opposing wigglies, and colorless, and buzzes, and is fast (good for metageme on mirc at least, and good here too)
2 Erika's Dratini - raplaced Ditto with this because haymaker will probably be pretty popular here.
Trainers (35)
4 Professor oak - IMHO, no non stall deck can constantly do much with less than 3 oak, though there are probably are exeptions
4 Comp. Search - 4 are used because you always seem to need it, and is reliable (not like my computer)
4 item finder - Almost equal to search, get back trainers i used for more havoc. More powerful in mid to late game. 
4 The Rocket's trap - a heads with this demon can bring a tear to a glass eye, can mess up your hand badly, especially when in a combo wit imposter oak's revenge.
4 rocket's Sneak Attack - AMAZING card. I hurt you, and not myself, always works, i see your hand, enough said.
2 Lass - helps with anti-decking, and can just ruin your opponent, the atvantage for you is, you choose when it comes out.
2 Imposter Oak's Revenge - plain annoying by itself, and is just nasty if you get a heads on trap along with it
4 Plus power - used for 70 damage wigglies, and other neat stuff
3 Energy Removal - IMHO, better than ser cause it doesn't hurt you, and is quicker. only 3 here because need room for traps and other deadly weapons.
2 Gust of wind - only 2 because not needed all the time, but enough so you can get it when needed
2 Scoop Up - helps out in situations like hitmon vs. scyther
Energy (11)
4 Double Colorless Energy - no coment
6 Fighting Energy - 6 may seem low, but works good with greedy hitmon.
 
    Well, I got my deck checked in and everything, and sat around, being nervous and stuff.
 
                                Round 1, vs. kid with a wiggly (i think)
      I think this kid had a wiggly, cause I saw a jigglypuff, and that was about it. I  won the flip. I had 1 basic (hitmon) and he had a lone jiggly. (I am the metagame king) I have some junk and a lass in my hand. I lass him and jab. He loses most of his hand. He draws and lullabies. i got to sleep. I stay asleep, hoping i don't see scy. I satay asleep for another turn. after that , I wake up, and hitmon cracks jiggly for knockout, and the game.
 
                            Round 2, vs. kid with pure lightning.
    I get a pretty good hand, something like jiggly, hitmon, scy, and comp. I go 1st. I start with scy and he has ... TWO IVY PIKACHU AND A BUZZ!!! i get oak and get my imposter, trap and sneak combo , destroying his hand, and leaving him with nothing. i end up jabbing away, and then using wiggly to get ridda those filthy buzzes, beating him 6-0.
 
                            Round 3, vs. kid with psy (for the sts)
    Well, I thought competition would be really ttough here and i get blessed with a bad hand. i started with erika's dratini (i can still stall) a dce, and a pluspower, and energy removal, (rest was junk) i go 2nd. He starts with sabrina's gastly (the one with the hp growing pokemon power, and has 50 hp) he attaches, and ends his turn. I draw another removal, removal, play dce, and get tails on tail strike. he attaches and passes. i draw removal, tailstrike for tails.(gettin annoying) he attachs, i see a sabrina's haunter in his hand, but he attaches and passes. i get finder, finder for removal, removal, and get tails, argh. he attaches and passes again! i draw, another plus, slap them suckas down, and win a trip to sts! w00t!! w00t!!
   
    i didn't care if i won or lost now, but getting 36 packs, a gameboy, hat, t-shirt, tcg game, and 4 tickets to some bad play that I hope i can sell would be pretty nice.
 
    Round 4, vs. cheating kid with mono fire (i HATE cheaters, and he knocked out the guy i was hangin out wit, but he has badges, unlike me, who went to pokemon league once, and plays on mirc in order 2 get good) that was a long description........
 
    I don't really remember this game, but i had wiggly, creaming all his pokes and i had the trap combo up too, he kept trying to attach extra energy, and was usin flamethrower wit a dce and fire instead of FFC wit his arcanine, didn't shuffle when i trapped, (well he did, but rigged his deck)  nobody could tell me because u can't talk to the people playing. anyway, wiggly was killin him and i kept findering, trapping, lassing and everything, so he didn't even have cards to cheat WITH.
 
                        Round 5, (champonships) vs. kid with a hay i think.
     I got a god hand. it went like oak's revenge, jiggly, scyther, search, and 3 cards i could throw away. I go 2nd. Argh, i thought i was done. he had scy, attached light, and ended turn (PHEW) i draw, get dce, put it on jiggly, use revenge, (he sighs) and he gets his 4 cards, and i search for oak.i get my sneak,  and trap, and they WORK! i oak again, filling my bench in this process, and i also get my wiggly. he draww and passes. I get out my turn 2 wiggly and somehow get a plus, and beat him on turn 2, becoming the sts chaaaaaammmmmmppppppiiiiiooonnnn sts qualifier that is, i get all those prizes mentioned above and get rocket's scy some of those rocket's moltreses, and MANY others a brand new gbc, and i bought silver, play the rest of the day, get a promo jiggly, and lot of matches, my deck went something like 22-2 that weekend (lass and decked)
 
    Well, this is possibly my best deck deck ever, and proved it, nobody even had a similar deck to it too!
