Hey Guys,
my name is Stefan Weber and i'm playing at Prague Cup last weekend with Vileplume/Beartic and other techs.
First I want to explain you my deck. As i saw Beartic on the internet, I want to play it. But with what? So i decided to try it with vileplume. But I know, if someone do 120 damage and kill me next turn by some other attacks maybe, it would be a problem. That's why i play Reuniclus too. Well, now Beartic is my mainhitter and the others are some "helpers". Than I played a 2-2 yanmega line against babies and because it has 0 retreat.
After testing with some friends against Yanmega/Magnezone, Reshiphlosion and other i know, Yanmgea is a problem. But i don't want to play Zekrom because I need Reuniclus for. So i decided o play Lanturn (not the Prime), which do with a lightning and da DCE 60 damage and i have to switch an energy. So i'm not losing 2 energies. I can switch the DCE to beartic for my next hit. Well, the rest is like all the other list with vileplume.
That's my list:
Pokemon:
3-1-2 vileplume
2-1-2 reuniclus
4-4 beartic
2-2 yanmega
1-1 lanturn
1 cleffa
1 absol
(27)
TSS:
4 collector
4 twins
3 copycat
3 PONT
3 Pokemon Comm.
3 rare candy
1 juniper
(21)
Energies:
4 DCE
6 Water
2 Lightning
(12)
Well, my family and i came to the hotel after long way at I think half past 9. There my brother and I apply for the tournament.
My brother played in senior division with the same deck as I do it (his list has 2 differnt cards between my one) After a few testings against friends from Austria i went sleeping very late.
Next day at 11:00 the tournament started. I think, that i could make it to tops with my deck.
#Round 1: Leonardo (Italy) (ZPTS)
He started with zekrom and I with Absol. He played Pachirisu benched and attach a lightning with power, dce to zekrom, played supporter and make 20 damage.
I played Collector for double oddish and Cubchoo. All 3 + cleffa benched, attach an energy to cubchoo. Pass.
He played collector and killed my Absol. I played cleffa in front and played twins for rare candy and vileplume. Attached DCE to cubchoo. envolve to beartic. cleffa for eeek. heads!
He attached energy, played supporter and killed cleffa. I took cubchoo and solosis with collector benched, energy to cubchoo and sheer cold to zekrom. He do some damage with zekrom, played some suppoertes but coulnd't kill anyone more. So i took price per price, got reuniclus out and he coulnd't do anything more.
1-0
#Round 2: sry forget your name (CZ) (Vileplume/Reuniclus/Donphan.. like Ross list)
We had both a good start, but I could kill Oddish and Solosis with my Yanmega, which I get out turn2. I don't played any oddish benched, only cubchoo, yanma and solosis and envolved them next turns. Well I draw the first 4 prices, after he attacked with Entei&Suicune Legend to my beartic and next turn i killed his legend with 80 x 2 = 160.
He played 4 twins in a row, get vileplume, donphan and other things out. I did eek with cleffa after my beartic got killed and draw exactly: twins, 4 pokemon and one energy. Flip - Heads. he started to kill my pokemon with donphan and drawed 4 prices too. Than i played Yanma out and top deck Reuniclus. He did 40 damage with donphan 3 times and i switched damage every round. Than i switched the damage to oddish and kill it. He had only one price left. I played twins for beartic and DCE to damage his donphan, which i killed next round. he played Pichu out and searched for Solosis. Flip - tails. I hadn't a copycat to kill solosisand pass. he flip tails again. Than he played Dousion and pass. Flip - HEADS! I killed his Pichu for my last price. GG
2-0
#Round 3: Tobias Thesing (Germany) (Lanturn/ Yanmega)
My start was 2 cubchoo, 1 beartic and 4 energies. i attach energy to cubchoo flip for sleeping - tails. he played judge. I only got a collector but my cleffa was priced, so could kill every turn one pokemon with lanturn and catcher.
2-1
#Round 4: Guy (France) (Vileplume/Reuniclus/Donphan/Zekrom/like Ross list too)
I had a good start and started to take prices with Yanmega second time. He hadn't a good start and i killed all of his pokemon with bearzic and yanmega.
3-1

Attached DCE to beartic and killed his reshiram which has 30 damage on it. He do 70 damage with Typhosion and my DCE got discarded. I played Twins for water energy and DCE because I know that he couldn't discard my energy with typhlosion. attahced energy and killed tyhphi which has already 40 damage on it.
He do 120 damage with reshiram. I switched damage like the turns before and attahc water energy to kill his reshiram. He played other pokemons out and i killed one per turn.

#Round 7: Lorenzo (Italy) (Gothihelle/Reuniclus)
He had a good start, my ones was okay. I played cleffa three times but didn't get any cards I needed. He got out a Gothihelle before i could play a vileplume out. He started to attack and i know that my olny chance is to play with beartic, which I did. He killed two of his Pokemon with reunclus to played twins. after more than 15 minutes playing I got my vileplume out and could play twins. He killed two of my beartic and one another. Than I killed one of his Pokemon. The time was up in a few minutes. We both had 3 prices left. But his problem was, that he hadn't energies to attack if he would retreat his active gohihelle because I attacked with beartic's attack - sheer cold. he scoop.
6-1
#Round 8: Sascha Giger (Switzerland) (Yanmega/Magnezone/Zoroark)
I started with Cubchoo and another benched pokemon (don't know which one). He started and played Judge. I got beartic out in turn 2 to kill one of his pokemon. I think it was yanma. I played oddish benched. he played Judge again and helped me a little bit because I had only one card in hand. I top deck rare candy for vileplume and did sheer cold to zorua. he played Judge again and I didn't get some good cards. Next turn I killed zorua to take my second price.
After that he started to kill my pokemon and take 4 prices. I played Twins and got beartic out to damage his Yanmega. Retreat for Magnezone. He had only one Magenzone and killed my beartic with Magnezone. Magnezone has only one energy attached and he had only one price left. I had only Yanmega needed two turns to got the equal number of cards in his hand. He passed these two turns because didn't top deck a lightning energy. Than i killed tyrogue and had only one price left too. He Top Deck PONT and draw a lightning energy for win.
6-2
I think the record is okay and got on the 6th place. I was very surprised.
My brother goes 5-1 in swiss round and on the 4th place.
So we are both in tops and played next day.
The problem in finals were, that we had only 45 minutes and I know that i would lose in sudden death against everything.
