Terrible Starts

What are some of the most HORRIBLE starts you've ever had?

Here is one of mine:

For Basics, my deck had:
-3 Larvitar
-4 Sableye
-3 Bronzor
-1 Azelf

My starting hand had an Azelf and a Bronzor...-_-

I played Bronzor to start. I was really hoping I could go second....drat. Heads. I gotta go first -_-

So, I played my Azelf down from my hand on my first turn. Look at my prizes....NO POKEMON BUT A LOT OF GOOD SUPPORTERS!!?? >=/ -_-

I later end up getting Pupitar up, ready to evolve for my next turn...(I had Tyranitar in my hand) but a Machamp out of no where KOs me. I was really ticked off by now...

BUT IT GETS WORSE!!

On my opponent's next turn, they play a TGM. Guess what card they got rid of out of my hand? Tyranitar...

I end up getting a Larvitar with 6 energy, and have a Rare Candy in my hand. Guess what? I never could get ANY search or ANY Tyranitar in around 4 turns. Finally, my opponent gets some energy and KOs me for the win.

I was SOOO mad....

So, have you had anything just as bad? Worse?
 
I was stuck with nothing but a Chansey for the first five turns.

Likewise, my opponent was stuck with an Uxie.
 
i was playing at league and in two out of 6-8 games my start was:
1 sneasel LA
1 sneasel LA
1 sneasel LA
3 lightning energy
1 special dark energy....
i ended up winning both though because i top-decked a weavile and was killing gengars and haunters with a weavile :)
 
At a tournament a little while ago, I was playing Kingdra and started off with a Pachirisu and was thinking "oh sweet, a good start".

I call for family only to find out that 4 Horsea's are prized.

I think a little part of me died at that moment.
 
I had a spiritomb start.
I use 2 duskballs and get nothing.
T4 I finally get a gastly and yanma.

I sweep from there on.

My opponent later goes on to say that he had a bad start, even though he had a T3 espeon, Leafeon Lv.X + a T2 claydol >.>
 
I once had 3 of my 4 Bebe's prized. Needless to say, I was crushed with my basics and Stage One Pokemon.

They have to be mean to me. :/
 
double mareep start with 9 cards in hand (mulligan a lot) but nothing that would help me... no ampharos for 10-12 turns=lost
 
Top this; 6 fighting energy and one regirock for my beginning hand, and my opponent is playing Machamp. I win the coin flip, and draw ANOTHER Fighting energy; I don't think there's any need to go on from here. Then after getting T1 donk'd, my opponent tells me; I guess they don't call your deck "Sand Abuse" for nothing! See, my deck relies on Lunatone, Solrock, and Regirock to "abuse" attaching fighting energy on Hippowdon_MD to "abuse" Sand Impact. But the fighting energy abused me on this battle. I hope you get the lame joke now.​
 
my hand:
3 pokedrawer
1 sneasel
1 mareep
1 rare candy
1 roseannes

i draw electric energy, attach to mareep. opponents turn: draw attach, plays wager -_- and i got like nothing from the wager -_____- it wasn't very nice of him :p
 
lol. I started with 2 unknown Q and like 3 Fighting energy, a lucario and 1 other random card...then. BOOM top deck the rozy, so it wasnt that bad of a start after all.... except the ACTUAL start :)
 
While play testing Empostar, I ran a 1-1 Dialga LV. X tech. I start with Dialga, with no other Basics and a reasonable hand of 1 Bebe's, 2 Oak's and a Wager. I pull of a T1 Roseanne's. All 3 Piplups are prized. Needless to say, that Roseanne went to waste. Then, I waste a total of 1 Roseanne, 2 Bebe's, 3/3 Oak's, and a Wager to pull off Dialga LV. X. Time Skip never does anything for or against me, and I take my first prize. Piplup. Yes! My opponent Wagers. I have nothing, and next turn he snipes my Claydol.
 
^ Now that is just VERY unlucky.

If I'd been a situation like that, I would been like -___________________________________-
 
My worst start (and game):

My deck had 1 Rayquaza and only 15 energys (I had 11 basic pokemon and 12 trainer, 11 Supporter)... my game was:

Inicial Hand:

1 rayquaza LA - 6 lightning energy...

draws card: Lightning energy - Fire energy - Lightning energy*3 - Raichu MT - Electivire SW... YOU LOSE...

T.T

My great game...
