What decks do you think will win City's

[Professor Elm]

I know it's kind of early but what does everybody think the best decks that will do well in Citys

Exploud Insanity of course! LOL :)
Anything with Blasty
Lightning Counter Blasties
Blazitrode
Monarchy (Nido's)
Rambo possibly (in 10 and under)
Team Magma (doubt it but it's possible)

[JediDrew]

exploud is awful
blasty is awful
blazitrode is awful

good stuff
blaziken
monarchy

[Professor Elm]

I disagree about Blasty and Blazitrode, they have much potential. I was just kidding about Exploud Thats the deck that i play. (Exploud, Gorebyss, Muk ex) and I think that has potential to.

[YoungJohn06]

Based on whats out now....

Blastoise will win some cities

Blaziken will still do good

Nidoking/queen will be very good

Gengar ex will probably make some wins

Salamance will most likely take a few also.

The Blazitrode is really not that good I prefer rayquaza and the old stuff as it does so much more damage... it does the same thing as ninetales from EXP sure but that wasn't an EX which is why it was good... sorry but I don't see this deck being that good, yes it has it's advantages but blaz/ray is by far better IMO.

[Professor Elm]

Does anybody know the date the new set is supposed to be released.

[Professor Elm]

Oh I thought it was in December.

[Cyrus]

Hmmm.

-Texas will be won by Blaze, Magma, and Monarchy
-Oklahoma will be won by Gengar and Exeguttor
-Missouri will be won by a rogue, most likely
-Illinois will get some rogue, but probably a gengex or monarchy, as well
-Ohio will be won by mainly sally and Monarchy
-California, I don't know. Probably something Gorebyss
-Virginia will probably see Beedrill and Monarchy take some wins
-Washington area, I have no earthly clue, 'cause I haven't heard a thing about what's being played from Monkeyman =p
-Florida, something Blaziken, because they need to dry up all that hurricane water =)

[Cyrus]

Your momma will win a few too ;)

[korythatsrightmare]

Lagneton will win Cali, and if that doesnt work then my backup Goreking deck will win them all!(at least the ones i go to)
P.S. NOT...

[Pidgeotto Trainer]

Washington will be won by Blastoise ex. In the fall, we always get the rain. ;)

[Ancient Pokemon Trainer]

Washington will be won by Blastoise ex. In the fall, we always get the rain. ;)
tch. :rolleyes: Right right...Isn't everday we get rain?10-Magma...hehe...11-14Blasty maybe a big maybe...or something from TRR wasn't there a SalyEX or something?15+Blasy almost definate.

[mysterioustrainer]

Oct 30. It's called Return of Team Rocket
Quick Correction, the set release date isn't until after the prerelease weekends which start on Oct 30th.

[tightsavage4ever]

what about speedrill. i think it will become pretty good. I myself am trying to make a speedrill deck but only have a few cards for it. any tips are also apreciated by pm and lets see speedrill make a apperince and shock the games.
~chris

[Physics Squirrel]

-Virginia will probably see Beedrill and Monarchy take some wins
Beedrill and Monarchy? Where'd you get that idea from? Who do you know from VA/MD that's playing Beedrill or Monarchy?I'd say that between SHPanda and me, Beedrill and Monarchy will have a tough time.

[plaidlesspez]

Me or Jermy will win the PA CC's.

[Obi_Wan]

Me or Jermy will win the PA CC's.

Don't bet ALL your money. ;)

[Professor Elm]

Everybody knows Exploud Insanity will win San Antonio City Champs (11-14).
Oh yeah I bet yall already know that premier events such as city and state champs, gym and stadium challenges, and even nationals will be FREE OF CHARGE!! Check out the official Pokemon Nintendo Website if you don't believe me.

[Pablo]

w/e i play wins MX CC's ;)

[Professor Elm]

what does w/e mean.

[bullados]

Illinois still has a rousing Gardy support, and that will compete...

However, I think that some Blaziken varient will come out on top...

[Cyrus]

Obi Wan is a fellow who just moved to the area from TX named Danny Reyes. He'll pwn you at least every now and then =P

So yeah. One for Jermy, one for Plaid, and one for Obi Wan. NOOOOOO more cities for anyone else =P

[Cyrus]

Beedrill and Monarchy? Where'd you get that idea from? Who do you know from VA/MD that's playing Beedrill or Monarchy?I'd say that between SHPanda and me, Beedrill and Monarchy will have a tough time.

I got that idea from Michael's Beebyss being pwn all material =p

[TrueGamerX]

I'm playing Beedrill, with a little essence. BAM!

[FireFighter095ReBorn]

I gotta admit that all the so far named decks are gonna be powerhouses but i fell vileplume ex decks will be coming in strong. Here 2 vileplume ex decks have already domintaed the scene. I can also see the new beedrill make a big impact when city's hit.

I am playing a raichu,charizard ex deck for city's.

Ohh whne do the city's start up??

[Ancient Pokemon Trainer]

VileplumeEX?!?Already?!How?CCs start in November I know maybe October.

[Blaze]

i'm playing ether magma or wailwallex. probably magma.

[Professor Elm]

Magma is so unorigonal. I hate it. Just becaus Japan won worlds with it doesnt mean we have to copy them. Sorry but I HATEEEEEEE MAGMAAAAA!!!!!!!!!
Whoo glad I got that out of my system.

[JasonthePwnda]

rocket decks will win cities, for sure.

[Ancient Pokemon Trainer]

tch...Maybe so...But we don't know the eact cards of the set yet so until then...

[Blaze]

Magma is so unorigonal. I hate it. Just becaus Japan won worlds with it doesnt mean we have to copy them. Sorry but I HATEEEEEEE MAGMAAAAA!!!!!!!!!
Whoo glad I got that out of my system. Well the reson i might play magma is because my brother will most likely take WailWallEX.

[DarkSideComma S.P.A.R.K.S]

Oh hey, MetaEggRoss will win all of the oregon city championships, and maybe some of the WA wons too, if i feel like goin up there.)

[HoennAsh]

I don't thinks so Comma that your deck would take the oregon and washington city championshops unless your opponents has terrible luck. j/k with you comma. Well I'll see you at Oregon. I think Monarchy, Blastoise, Blaziken, and Magma could take it.

[Physics Squirrel]

I got that idea from Michael's Beebyss being pwn all material =p
Oh yes, I do recall testing versus Mike P's Beedrill deck at 5 AM after Worlds =P

[Professor Elm]

EXPLOUD INSANITY WILL RULE ALL!!!!! If I'm playing it that is.

[Pokekid]

Amphy pwns all.

[Pablo]

tch...Maybe so...But we don't know the eact cards of the set yet so until then...

yeah but in every set new dominant decks emerge, so OBV there will de at least 1 decent Rocket deck and will probably win a few City's

[HoennAsh]

Do you think that PUI would let us use the team rocket cards before they come back for the city championships. For the state championships we couldn't use the TM/TA cards because they came during the tournaments but the prerelease was before the state championships.

[Dark Legendary Master]

Okay Paul now I know I shouldn't really reply here cause I've only been back in the game since I think a month before Hidden Legends came out.

[SHPanda]

Oh yes, I do recall testing versus Mike P's Beedrill deck at 5 AM after Worlds =P

yeah that was fun, all the random ideas comes out into the open at 5 am. :-D

[Whicker]

meh

I think all the listed decks have somewhat of a chance

by the way, Johnny, Monarchy will probably take Oklahoma
hehehehehehe

Gengar kind of died

[Cyrus]

KEVIN NOOOOOO!!!!unoone! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DIE???!!! =P

Have fun, Oklahoma =)

[Hedgefoxidna]

Elektronik Khaos...please....yes... Or, my secret deck..mwhahahamwhawmahwahwa....

[Professor Elm]

Patriarch are you coming to San Antonio City Champs on December 4. I know your part of Team Texas, so that's why I wanted to know.

[Whicker]

I am going

Oklahoma needs to make a showing in Texas

I'm going to all Texas CC's I can

just cause Johnny made me
hehehe

[Professor Elm]

Cool you're in 11-14 right? I hope to battle you then.

[Bobby]

Blaziken won't take Florida, Blaziken drowns in flood water. =)

Aqua will thrive and win all the CC's that I go to

[Ancient Pokemon Trainer]

yeah but in every set new dominant decks emerge, so OBV there will de at least 1 decent Rocket deck and will probably win a few City's
And in every set there will be counters in enough time.

[old man]

Kevin's Gengar hasn't died.
Last week he placed 1st against my Ampharos & this weekend he did not play Friday or Saturday.

[Cyrus]

Yay, Kevin's alive eeeeeee'd! =D

What if somebody comes to OK with a Grumpig/Gorebyss deck, then? ;x

[Martin]

Blaze. Nido. Zappy.

[FireFighter095ReBorn]

Kevin's Gengar hasn't died.
Last week he placed 1st against my Ampharos & this weekend he did not play Friday or Saturday.


I was thinking about gengar till i looked over the scans of the japanese TR Returns cards and it makes me look diffrent. The new dark type pokemon will rule gengar so im taking a second thought before i play gengar at any premier events.

Maybe ill play gardy ex in my gengar deck to counter it ;)

[sneaselsrevenge]

Blaziken won't take Florida, Blaziken drowns in flood water. =)

Aqua will thrive and win all the CC's that I go to


I wouldn't come to Winter Haven with that Aqua. :p Around here, it's not so much what deck will win, but more what decks will squirtle and the_sniper win with? :rolleyes:

[Cyrus]

lol, watch out for that cuh-razy Sylvestro/s

[Whicker]

hmmmmmm

well

I'm basing all of my tournament experiences off of what I've been told and what I've seen

and I've seen Gengar dying
hmmm
maybe I'm worng

[sneaselsrevenge]

And Krayzie


True. 15+ is Krayzie( :p ) competitive here in Florida. And since I suck, guess I'll be judging again. :rolleyes:

[Pablo]

where does it say CC's start nov. 4? and if the 30th is prolly like saturday, then the 4th of november wouldnt it be thursday or wednesday or something?

[Bobby]

lol, watch out for that cuh-razy Sylvestro/s
So true. Grrr...... I sit and watch as my anger boils for desire of destroying them in heated battle.... ;)

[YoungJohn06]

That is tru. I hate my rumour sources.


It's gotta start the 20th or so... think about it cities run through like january... they ain't gonna release a set and then say it's not legal to play for like 3 months. Plus the 20th is a saturday, the 4th is a thursday like Pablo said.

[Krayzie]

True. 15+ is Krayzie( :p ) competitive here in Florida. And since I suck, guess I'll be judging again. :rolleyes:

Blaze will win in FL,If I play it.

[Bobby]

We shall see. I am prolly worng, but I will stick with my prediction that Blaze is destroyed. :p

[Gardyrocks!]

GO WAILWALL or ZAPPY

[Kevin89]

crobyss pwns all... X"D
nah, jk, i think magma and aqua variants will show up again and pwn about everything..

[lookinforwailordex]

Wailord Ex

[Professor Elm]

Wailwall and Crobyss will beat all. By the way does Crobat ex come out next set? Does anybody have spoilers?

[Pablo]

Wailwall and Crobyss will beat all. By the way does Crobat ex come out next set? Does anybody have spoilers?

where have you been? the next set will be EX: Team Rocket Returns, the set with Boost and Salad ex and Crobat ex is NOT the next set (who knows when it will be released here in America)

[Professor Elm]

I'm sorrry that I haven't seen a spoiler yet. With boost my Exploud Insanity will rule all!!!!!

[EnjoiPandaPoo]

Jesus will lift me over all others.

[Prime]

I'm sorry, but I don't see the purpose of this thread, preparation-wise. Training wise, this thread hurts the player more than helps them. I'm sorry if I sound rude, but if people start to make assumptions to which deck will be at which cities, states, world, they will open up a huge hole that people can use to their advantage. For example, Hal "knows" that blaziken won't be in south carolina, so in all his tests, he techs his deck for crobyss, walrein, wailwall, etc, but not blaziken. So when the city/state championships come up, to the surpise of Hal, blazken showed up in good numbers. Not only is Hal's deck teched for other decks, but at the same time Hal has no idea how to use his deck effectively against a Blaziken deck. So in the end, the deck that Hal "knew" was not going to show up, showed up and beat him...or atleast causes him alot of havoc.

That kind of thing will happen anyway. The topic is just for fun.

Then Hal deserved to lose because he made a fatal mistake. If you metagame correctly it can be a huge advantage. If someone does not metagame properly like Hal they will be in trouble. If you don't know the metagame then play it safe preparing for anything. Otherwise this thread is really only telling us what are the good decks right now pre-TRR which Cities won't even be, so if you just want to prepare for cities don't get anything set until Team Rocket returns.

[Venom]

I think Monarchy,Electrode ex,or Blastioise will win cities,also can't forget beedrill!!!

[Sceptile7990]

Monarchy/BaD MoM/WailWall/ME

[Ancient Pokemon Trainer]

where have you been? the next set will be EX: Team Rocket Returns, the set with Boost and Salad ex and Crobat ex is NOT the next set (who knows when it will be released here in America)
SaladEX?Rock on dude!Its super Salad attacks will destroy all!Yah I havn't seen a full list of Spoilers yet though...

then Hal is dumb for paying attention to what says here and not going to league and not consider ALL the options he could've faced

this is just for fun -________-

[TrueGamerX]

Kabutops ex WOOOOO. Just kidding. Hopefully Speedrill will do good. I'm planning on using it, so I guess I'll try my luck.

[Physics Squirrel]

SaladEX?Rock on dude!Its super Salad attacks will destroy all!Yah I havn't seen a full list of Spoilers yet though...What? I thought it was Salami ex :D

Kabutops ex WOOOOO. Just kidding. Hopefully Speedrill will do good. I'm planning on using it, so I guess I'll try my luck.Oh, yeah. Forgot about you when I said nobody would be playing Speedrill :p

[HypnosProjectHQ]

The big decks in Wisconsin are....
-Walrein
-Team Magma
-Sceptile
-Metagross
-Gardevoir
-Blaziken

There are also quite a few extreme rogue's thrown in as well.
I'm guessing that most of Wisconsin's CC's and ones surrounding it will look something like this...
10 Under: Ampharos or Blaziken
11 to 14: Team Magma or Gardevoir
15 up: Metagross, Walrein, or Sceptile

Of course, those are just guesses from looking at the current metagame.

Also, from what I am aware, there will be 3 City Championships in Wisconsin (Brookfield, Manitowoc, and La Crosse). Brookfield will head to most of those and Niles, IL. We got ourselves a team of elites. :p

GO TEAM BROOKFIELD! XP
~Hyp~ ;)

[Whicker]

new update on Oklahoma

right now, there seems to be tons of competition between Monarchy, Gengar, and Magma
I'm guessing one of those will take Oklahoma

however, if Rocket is legal for Cities, I don't see Gengar taking any City anywhere

[Hot Mustid]

My BED will probly win here since it has been undefeated for like 3 weeks now

[FireFighter095ReBorn]

-[0t (V)uSt|d<--=']My BED will probly win here since it has been undefeated for like 3 weeks now

I wouldent be surpirzed if its you and schaeffer in the end for the city crown nick. I know i removed chex from my decka nd added a new killer so its gonna be 3x as fast when im done with it :)

See ya in massachuttets in november for the city's :cool:

[Aggronblaster]

My Deck will win Hahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lord Broly]

Hey you'll probably have a few Vex
out to.

[Pablo]

Niniken will rule all

[FireFighter095ReBorn]

None has yet pointd out that gardy/gengarex is a threat to the field so i built it and its a powerful beast,watch out for me ill be coming for the city crown

[Pablo]

hows it a beast when it is too slow? its not like people will be worried and focusing on beating 1 deck played by only 1 person =/

[ultimate_healer]

id personally lke to see me win with my gengar ex deck

[Whicker]

Gengar EX more than likely won't stand a chance anywhere

that is, if Team Rocket is legal in Cities
too much dark

[Blaziken98]

I think most dark or Rocket decks will win cities until some uses Togtic in them

[~Blazi-King~]

Yea my bro has a dark deck that jus uses and abuses anything i play against it except one deck which i will not say here but jeez ive played against it at least 20 times and ive only won 4 and that is with the afore mentioned deck lol =)

[Professor Elm]

I'll be playing Wailwall, Blaze, Dark Shadows, or Monarchy. Man I really need to decide, but those are the top four decks that will win.

[Blaziken98]

I don't think those are the only decks that will win some will but I think a rogue deck will win

[SHPanda]

GRUMPIG/GOREBYSS!!! its soo good, how can it lose :-)

[Blaziken98]

How can it lose hmmm let me think to Dark Ampy

[SHPanda]

Dude, how can you beat grumpig the name of the deck is GG.

[AXE]

Nah monarchy will win all
Axe

[EeveeTrainer]

I've got a deck in the works that was actually inspired by someone I met in my round 2 Match up at worlds. Though I did manage to defeat him I liked the deck Idea so I came up with something along the same theme but quite different.

As far as what I'm expecting? Monarchy definately holding a nice piece of ground so expect that. Blastoise/Quagsire/Aqua's Walerain is making a bit of a showing in this area and seems pretty tough. I'm seeing Dark Electrode as well. Dark Amphy/Amphy EX is something I was toying with for a bit but seems relatively slow moving.

I don't expect much in the way of Gardy or Blaze really but then again I've been wrong before. Just my thoughts for the moment

[The Gorn]

At our CC in Winter Haven, FL, we saw no Blastoise and no Monarchy (there could have been some at the lower ends of the tables, but I didn't see them).

The Dark Tyranitar/Dark Dragonite/Dark Electrode combo was out in force (and did well).

What won it all? Blaziken.

It's interesting how different the game can be in different areas.

[TrueGamerX]

Speedrill isn't doing that bad. Has gotten in the top 3 at some of the CC. Hopefully, it will do better in the coming City Championships.

[ShawofMordor]

What about Zapdos ex decks?

[ColdCoates90]

The Dark Tyranitar/Dark Dragonite/Dark Electrode combo was out in force (and did well). I've heard of this deck before.What is so special about Tyrantiar?

[wilhung53]

It does insane Bench damage, so with ATM Rock, they're bound to crush just about any deck.

[Cyrus]

What about Zapdos ex decks?

So far, all I know is that Levi Canfield, Jacy Sturkie, and Clay Carney are the only guys to have done well with it, to my knowledge. 1st, 3rd, and 3rd isn't too bad. ;x

[SuperWooper]

I've always stuck with the idea that Blaziken was going to be the best deck in RS-on, even after people said the loss of Oracle would kill it. It packs too much of a OHKO presence to go down easily, and with the kind of setups it can achieve (on a good day), it will win.

In this uncertain format, what with Blaziken, Monarchy, Blastoise, Beedrill, Zapdos, Dark Draggy, and many other competitive decks, Blaziken, which can adapt to any environment well, due to good type coverage and a hugely gamebreaking power (no matter how overshadowed it becomes, it IS STILL gamebreaking), is bound to do well.

Against Magma decks at Worlds, Blaziken was able to get as far as it got solely because of this lack of dependence on one particular card for the deck to function. Blaziken is the card that makes the deck work, but once the beast is setup, the deck isn't too dependant on any one card to keep going and so it can hits and give 'em back out with equal or greater power.

Blaziken may not be the "best" deck in this format, that's up for you to decide, but it's the deck that's winning a heck of a lot. Monarchy, Zapdos, they're good and they win, but Blaziken still emerges the strongest as it did in Eon and as it will continue to do for quite some time.

[Cyrus]

Mmmm, Well Wooper, interesting thoughts on Blaze.

As I'm doing my analysis of winning decks of CC's so far, I notice this trend:

10- has gotten smarter about what it runs. Either by going with creative rogues, or top tier archetypes, they now seem to know what to play. Although almost always the weakest in skill, it's looking like they're choice of decks is greater. The players who succeed here just really need to be able to work well with their decks, and run a solid list.

11-14 is outdated. What I see winning in this division is blaze (4/6 cc's won by it from my results so far are in the 11-14), swampert, crobyss, Gardevoir, etc, etc. All the big stuff played last format. Granted, there are a couple creative minds like Pokemonfan123123 and JasonthePwnda able to win with more ingenious stuff, but through and through, the players who will succeed here are the ones ready to make change.

15+ Ahhhh, yes, THIS division XD! I believe that Wooper's analysis about blaze winning a bunch is a tad off in the older crew. Although a rogue hasn't been shown to achieve victory in those 9 cc's yet, it's still very possible that creativity could win out *coughcoughJUMPLUFF/MEWTWO/GOREBYSS ^_^*. Zapdos, Blaze, Magma, Monarchy, Dark Drag, and Blastoise are all making a very even showing, and even in uncertain times, people won't be running to blaze always. Although I'm worried about Salamence ex, for the time being, we have a lot of balance, and the successful older player is the one who knows his or her metagame well.

[Pablo]

I've always stuck with the idea that Blaziken was going to be the best deck in RS-on, even after people said the loss of Oracle would kill it. It packs too much of a OHKO presence to go down easily, and with the kind of setups it can achieve (on a good day), it will win.

I recall you saying Blaziken was dead with your Walreign deck but meh :p

Blaziken is doing well, and yeah it's a really good deck, but faster decks should outspeed it, because with the loss of oracle, it's gotten MUCH slower. yes it cna still OHKO and all, but it is definately FAR behind its Eon counterpart, and there are other faster and better decks IMO.

[MonsterOfTheLake]

Please people. Get it right.

Obviously Charizard ex will win every single CC.

I mean, what can withstand 200 damage?!

[Ice'Cold]

Hey, I played an original deck at a CC and got 2nd. My deck was a dark crobat/gorebyss/magneton variant that lost only to dark dragonite.

[Blaziken98]

I bet Blaziken is going to be played Muhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaa

[Gardyrocks!]

I say either BED or Dark Dragonite/Dark Electrode/something else (Sneasel ex, Dark Hypno, lots of stuff) will win cities. Also prolly Wailwall and some Crobyss decks will come up in my area (prolly)

[Cyrus]

Hey, I played an original deck at a CC and got 2nd. My deck was a dark crobat/gorebyss/magneton variant that lost only to dark dragonite.

Nah, Jimmy's deck is better, lol =P

[Fantine]

I'm seeing alot of decks with gorebyss in them. Why not play huntail? Everyone seems to be playing dark pokemon in their deck.

[Blaziken98]

Posted By : Mudkip: I recall you saying Blaziken was dead with your Walreign deck but meh

Loss of Orcale ha it is called Pidgot and it isn't that slow if you Consider a turn 3 or 4 set up slow with Blaze you are crazy. (It may not be the fastest deck but it packs enough power to back that up)

[MonkeyMan8889]

Grumpig Gorebyss Dusclops is my pick, The deck just cant lose.

[SHPanda]

man and i thought the original grumpig gorebyss deck can't lose.. But man was i wrong. I can't believe i didnt think of this GGD. hehehehe Good Game *add dusclops* rofl

[supertyranitar]

Boy Dark Trance is like AWESOME, thats what i'm playing hehe LOVE IT.

[EeveeTrainer]

A wailord ex with Buffer Piece.

Actually it wouldn't survive. Charizard EX ignores Weakness Resistance Powers bodies and Any other effects on the defending pokemon.

[TheAnswer3]

Im playing Grumpig/Gorbyss, Team Magmas Rhydon/Lanturn and Machamp/Togetic at all the Cities as they are the best decks in the format, I mean NO decks can beat them.

Grumpig/Gorbyss does beat everything tho, and I DO plan on playing it over the other two.

tA

[pokemonfan123]

ta3- grumpig gorebyss

may i ask yOU what else do you play in that deck ?? any fossils??

~fan fan

[JasonthePwnda]

Dusclops obviously, stupid n00bs.

[Pokekid]

isaid that i would change again i did its Bex/Pidgyot/Quazza

[wilhung53]

I'm had another CC today in California. It was crazy! I may or may not write my deck report this time, but the metagame is again very strong and very balanced. There were 60-66 players today total.

This is what I saw:
7 Blaze
4 Blastoise ex
6 Magma
2 Dark T-Tar
1 Zapdos
1 Monarchy
6 Dark Dragonite/Dark Electrode

This doesn't resmeble everybody, but it resembles most of the age 15+ group, and some of the 11-14 group. Most, if not all, people from San Diego show up because in the El Segundo CC, they double the prizes if more than 35 players show up.

As for myself, I went 3-2 in a 5-round Swiss with my Blaze deck. It's similar to the one I've used in the Fountain Valley CC.

Well, here's Saint Peter's 11-14 stats:

3 of the top 4 people wore invaders from Saint Louis, me included,

1st Jake Shpringman [Hedgefoxidna] Eggscutor/Magneton/ZapdosEX aka MagnEggz, pretty self explinatory, recycle the nrgs, surprise with Zap, heal with mantine. Decklist is up, and hey it got me all the way. [StL Invader]

2nd Johnny Jr. [?] Gardyvor/ex , the standard Gex deck, pretty good, wobbs included. [StL Invader]

3rd Tim Doty [Togepikachu90] Shedinja/Ninjask/Glalai/Togetic aka Ultimate Annoyer, wow, I faced this guy in semi finals, the hardest match I had all day, this is the most annoying deck you can spawn, some ppl made fun of it, but it pwned all the Dark Decks, and did pretty good against the evo decks. [StL Invader]

4th Mike Hutson [?] Gardi/ex/espeon, again, the standard gardy deck cept with a twist, apperently JJ got luckier and beat him, not too shabby deck at all.

So, the deck breakdowns [for 11-14] are:

1 Eggscutor/Magnton/ZapdosEX [1st]
1 Ultimate Annoyer [3rd]
2 DarkTyrana/DarkHoundoom
1 DarkDragonite/DarkElectode/Trodex
2 Gardyvore [2nd, 4th]
1 Monarchary
1 Salamence, 'i choose who i atk' deck

pretty kool CC, can't wait for StL's...
