tourney:
 
I traded for 2 of the aerodactals later on, before that I used 2 fossil magmars, but at the actual tourney, I used this deck it was 2-1
single loss elimination
 
round 1:
I played some 11 year old kid with a water/ fighting/psychic deck
 
I got out an electabuzz, chansey, and mysterious fossil in my opening hand
he got a psyduck, machop, mysterious fossil, and a squirtle
 
He won the coin toss and after that, all I remember is that he got 2 quick kills on my chansey (I did double edged 1 once)
and I finally got aerodactal on my bench so he couldn't evolve, I put electabuzz as my active pokemon and I killed all his water pokemon, I won, 6 prizes to 2.
 
round 2:
I played a girl named Melanie or something like that (I play her dad a lot and have an even 4-4 record with him)
she had a fire/water deck
 
I got a electabuzz, mysterious fossil, and fossil zapdos as my opening hand
she got a growlithe, ponita, and squirtle
 
I killed her ponita with buzz and got a base zapdos as my prize. I put him on my bench and powered him up.
Buzz had 20 hp left against a squirtle when zapdos was powered up, I used a switch I drew to put out zapdos and kept using thunder (I killed another growlithe, fossil magmar, ponita, and another squirtle with him)
 
I won, 6 pizes to 0
 
round 3:
 
I played this cheater named sean, and when I say cheater, I mean cheater. I don't mean to complain, but he puts up to 3 energies per turn, says he used one trainer, and it's different, and that's just what I can see clearly, I catch him sometimes but I can see him do stuff when I'm not looking, strange thing is that his mom's right there.
 
I don't remember much except that I caught him cheating 7 times and I could see him do stuff while it was my turn. I don't even know how many prizes he drew. Although he drew 2 at one time and i got him to put 1 back :(
 
Anyways, I got a 1st edition prerelease aerodactal holo for winning twice
