Pennsylvania States


After getting destroyed by Blastoise last week at Maryland States, I decided that I was going to play a deck that had a semi decent matchup vs Blastoise, because that deck ruined my performance last week with my Aromatisse deck. I decided to play a team plasma deck, but mine was pretty different from a lot of other ones that I saw. Here's the list I ended up going with for the tourney:
Pokemon (11)
2-Kyurem (It really helps against Blastoise & it hits hard, and only gives up one prize)
4- Deoxys Ex (Boost my Damage to OHKO range
3- Thundurus EX (Energy Acceleration
2- Lugia EX (Its OP)
Supporters (13)
4- Juniper (Discard energy for raiden knuckle, and a very good draw supporter)
3- N (I don't play 4, because I take prizes so quickly)
3- Skyla (Good for searching out the items I need)
3- Colress (I usually have a large bench full of Deoxys)
Items (21)
3- Colress Machine (Energy Acceleration, I don't play 4, because they usually end up being dead cards late in the game)
4- Team Plasma Ball (It spams Deoxys, all my pokemon are Plasma)
3- Switch (My pokemon have pretty big retreat cost)
4- Muscle Band (To do more damage, and to OHKO stuff)
4- Pokemon Catcher (I don't like the bench space Genesect takes up, so I play this)
2- Tool Scrapper (Silver Mirror is a thing)
1- Scramble Switch (My pokemon take a lot of energies, also works as a 4th switching card)
Stadiums (2)
2- Frozen City (Counter stadium, great against Blastoise)
Energy (13)
4- Prism (All my pokemon can use this to attack)
3- Double Colorless (For Lugia, or if I need to retreat Deoxys)
2- Rainbow Energy (I like to be able to attack with Deoxys easier)
4- Plasma Energy (For Lugia EX, and Colress Machine, etc)

Anyway onto the report:

Hey guys what up its Drew here. I just went to cities the other day, and I did horrible :p but I figured I would still report it. I went with my friend Ben who is also in the Masters.

Round 6 Some Lady( I don't remember her name) (Kyurem/Deoxys EX/Thundurus EX) L
I should have won^
2-4.... (Ben got 3-3)
You guys may think I'm disappointed from these results, but to be honest I came into this city just to have fun with a deck I really enjoy. I was just trying to get the feel of the Masters environment. I feel like I now know a lot more about the meta so next week I can go for the victory :) Anyway thank you guys for reading and Ill be writing more next week :)



Legendary Treasures Prerelease
Hey guys what's up, its Drew here. I haven't made a memento report in a very long time, because I haven't had the motivation to go to any tournaments :p I wasn't going to go to this prerelease, but once I saw the pull rates I couldn't resist. Anyway I pulled a Shaymin EX and a Mew EX. I was really happy, because those were the 2 EX's I wanted from Shiny Collection. Here's the deck I played:
Pokemon (17)
1- Meleotta (Fighting)
1-1 Mismagius
1- Bouffalant
1-1 Swoobat
1- Phione
2- Minccino
2- Stunfisk (1 with Muddy Water, 1 with Hearts :3)
1- Spiritomb
1-1 Xatu
1- Tornadus
1- Shaymin EX
1- Mew EX

I had 2 other pokemon that I cant remember. I think I might have traded them.

Energy (21)
1- DCE
4- Grass
8- Fighting
8- Psychic

Needless to say my deck wasn't very good.....

Round 1 vs. Logan w/Keldeo EX/Outrage Dragons
I never meant this kid, but he was pretty cool. The first battle I misplay by putting too much damage on his Zekrom, and he sweeps me with Outrage. We battle again for fun, and he beats me with his Keldeo EX. gg's dude you played well.

0-1

Round 2 vs. Sarah w/Gold Reshiram 0_o/Genesect
This girl was Logan's sister and she was cool and nice. She starts powering up her Genesect and I get scared. She has 3 grass energy on her Genesect and I have 2 energy on my Tornadus. I figure im going to get swept since Genesect does 130, but she misses 2 crucials energy drops which nets me 2 Hurricanes to KO Genesect. I pretty much sweep past that. gg's Sarah I had fun playing you :)

1-1

Round 3 vs. Mathew w/Black Kyurem EX/Zekrom EX/Emolga
He starts Teddiursa to my Stunfisk. I go first use Muddy Water to hit for 40. He draws a Minccino to keep him in the game. I knockout Teddiursa with Muddy Water and put 20 on Minccino. He promotes Minccino and doesnt draw a basic, so he passes and I win. I feel bad about the way I won, but thats why there's never any legit Pokemon games haha. Anyway gg Matt, and good luck in your future matches :D

2-1

Round 4 vs. Kirsten w/Cobalion/Trubbish/Victini EX
I never really got much going in this game, and she dominated me via Victini and Cobalion. Sorry I didnt give you much of fight, but it was still fun playing you gg.

2-2

Round 5 vs. Crystol w/Darkrai EX/Shaymin EX/Mew EX
I got my Mew up quickly and kept copying Tornadus's attack, and I just swept her. Sorry about the bad luck. Better luck next time. Thanks for the games gg

3-2

So I end up 3-2 which I'm pretty happy about having a winning record in my first Masters tourney even though it was just a prerelease :p

In the last 2 packs I pull nothing much besides a Gallade. BTW guys I think Gallade is a playable card. It can OHKO ANY Pokemon out besides Black Kyurem with Crystal Edge (Who uses that?!?!) in one hit with a Silver Bangle.
Props:
Masters are soooo Friendly
Pull Rates
Tournement wasnt as crowded as the Plasma Blast one.
Kyle for going 5-0!!! Good job dude.

Slops
None
This tournement was well run by Kendall and Dorian as always and the people there were awesome


I hope you guys enjoy reading, and hopefully I'll see you guys at Cities. Im out...

Nice to see you did well in your first tournament as a Master! I can't wait for my Prerelease tomorrow. So much cuteness. I'll definitely be seeing you at some Cities this year. I'll be going to pretty much all of the ones in DE and PA.

Lol I had the mindset that since I had 17 Pokemon I did 40-17 which equals 23. Anyway I hope you get some nice pulls in the prerelease and I hope you have a great season. See ya around dude.
 
RE: MountainDrew's Prerelease

why do you get all the comments

Nice pulls and nice winning record. Legendary Treasures seems to be a gimmicky but fun set.

Yeah I really enjoy this set. The artwork is well done, and the pull rates are really good.
 
RE: MountainDrew's Year Update with Cities & Battle Roads

Update with a cities that I epically failed in.
 
RE: MountainDrew's Year Update with Cities & Battle Roads

I was testing your deck but with 3 Chandelure EX and no Lucario.
Run Life Dew? I love it :D
EDIT: Because you can slap it on Cofa and use his ability for no downside before
your opponent can scrapper it.
 
RE: MountainDrew's Year Update with Cities & Battle Roads

I was supposed to go to the York City this week, but a snowstorm kept me from going. There's a city this week in Reading that I will be attending as long as there isn't another blizzard lolololol
 
RE: MountainDrew's Year Update with Another City!

That's great that you made Top 4! Sorry I couldn't go today. The roads were too icy, and also my driveway is a giant hill, so we couldn't even get the car out of the driveway if we wanted to, lol.

Aw, you're quitting TCG? That's sad to hear. I'm gonna miss seeing you in person. See you at Worlds then.

Thanks! Yeah it took us awhile to get home because the roads were icy. I may not quit the TCG if I can get my friends back into it. If I do end up quitting the TCG I'll still be at prerelease, because I love to collect. See ya at Worlds!

1- Scary-Looking Sableye

WHAT'S SO SCARY ABOUT IT DREW? I DON'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT.

Very nice pulls I must say. I don't think I've ever seen a mono-type Prerelease deck before. I love how you put 1 Bidoof in your deck. It's not even good lol.

Good luck with your Prerelease tomorrow! Same goes to you, Scorched Feathers!

That smile and how its arms look make it look so creepy xD The deck wasn't mono type it had normal types in it... I basically just put bidoof, bunnelby, and dunsparce in their because I needed some derpy pokemon lol. Good luck to you!

Yess
Build all the Fairy decks!
I hope I do this well tomorrow :x

Yeah I was quite happy when I got the xerneas, but was even more happy when I pulled some pokemon to support xerneas.

MountainDrew said:

I wasn't counting Normal types because they use all Energy types (and I forgot about Lunatone). You had 1 type of Basic Energy, I guess I should say.
 
RE: MountainDrew's Year Update with a States!

Good going, Drew! Top 16's definitely not bad for Masters. I think you might've faced one of my friends round 1. Flareon/Cofagrigus is his signature deck. Did he have a Charizard playmat, or a Team Wilmington shirt?
 
RE: MountainDrew's Year Update with a States!

Yeah nice job dude. Congrats on beating decks that I would say are autolosses such as Flareon and Strafe. The Flareon must not have played Drifblims and Hammers right?
Also camoclone pulled both megas out of 8 packs today like you did so lol.

AND NOW I HAVE THREE FA YVELTAL EXS JUST LIKE YOU WOOHOO


Another thing, yes Yveltal IS taking over the format! Turbo Y is sooo good I made top2 with it.

Yeah I don't know what his name was, but he had a shirt with team willington and an ultra ball on it.

Thanks! Im not real sure if the Flareon player played Drifblim or not. The Trevenant player didnt use silver mirror and I just put up Snorlax and then we both couldnt do anything for a good 5 turns xD I might have to try a mega blastoise deck now!
