I wanna know, with all the hype around Donk decks, how many times you were actually able to pull of a donk.
At my tournies, there's about 2-3 people boasting that they never got donked before.
I ran Champ at my cities. 5 rounds, I had the Donk in my hand.. but.. 4 out of those 5 times, I had to go first. And that 5th time.. well..
It was my first match of the tourney. Coin was flipped, I go second. I carefully, nervously look at my hand as my opponent lays down 1 basic. I see..
Stark Mountain..
Energy...
Roseannes..
Call Energy..
Machop..
Rare Candy..
ooo ooo!!
Bebes Search!
I thought to myself... "Nice. First match. I got this." Then.. the UNTHINKABLE happens.
My friend next to me accidentally knocks over my prize card. I pick it up without even seeing what it was. I put it in my prizes and shuffle the prizes. Keep in mind the match hasn't even started yet. We were waiting for the Tourney leader to give us the go ahead. The guy sitting diagonal from me, happens to be a judge. And tells me that I have to Shuffle EVERYTHING back into my hand.
I have the biggest "What.. the.. h/ll.." face on. But.. being the good guy I am, without any questions.. I shuffle my donk back into my hand.. draw a new hand.. and am forced to start with Unown G, and no Call. Thank God I top decked Machop and had Roseannes in my hand.
But.. on a happier note.. I won the match. It was a Leafeon deck I faced btw. And he took mad control early game (What do you expect, I had an Unown G start) but I was able to make my comeback, and won the match.
To summarize.. to this day, I have yet to Donk 1 legal, Tourney match. I've donked myself, when practicing, but that doesn't count. Not for this thread it doesn't!
And how about yourself?
