Terrible Starts

[Ariadosguy]

I always build decklists that are less prone to bad starts. The worst I've ever got was alone Duskull against Kingdra...

>.<

 

[Dimentio]

Just had one Saturday. Pika start with Baltoy, some Energy, Poke Drawer +, and a Night Maintenance. Draw into Poke Drawer +, search for Claydol and Roseanne's. Looking like an alright start, right? Wrong. drought of Energy with no more Pokemon. 2 of 3 Raichus prized.

Recentely

I started with Unown G, but had a Claydol in my hand some I'm like yay. My opponent flips over a lone Duskull SF. I'm like okay just need to draw Call. I go first, pass, he draws and hits for 10. I draw, Wager, win the Wager (Just drew 3 Roseanne's, 2 Bebe's and a Wager) still nothing. He evolves attaches game.

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.

If you insist on me topping that...

Start:OK, my start was good. Opponent's start: Larvitar, and 6 {F} energies. He topdecks another {F} energy. I just sweep as all he can top deck is basics. He didn't get a single Bebe's, Rare Candy, Luxury Ball, or T-Tar that whole game.

You have no IDEA how many Togepi starts I get playing 2-0-2.

On top of that, this happened:
My deck had (in basics):

4 Sableye
2 Pikachu
4 Magnemite
2 Bronzor

BAM! T1, 2 Bronzor with one Bronzong in my hand. I swear, I shuffled my deck reeeeeaaallly well. Suddenly, I go first and top-deck my only other Bronzong in the whole deck. I wasn't running any Psychic energies, so I got energy using 2 Cyclers a turn. But it took me like 7 turns of drawing before I finally get a Magnemite. I start my comeback, get Magnezone (metal, SF) out, search for my Raichu line, and....

My match times out.

Today I was stuck with a just a Beldum and lightning for 3 turns with not much else while my daughter built up Dusknoirs on her bench. I guess I should have shuffled better...all my bad.

I started with Horsea once when I played Kingdra ex. I never once got anything at all to evolce, and got destroyed. not fun.
