My credentials?

I’d like to introduce myself to those that don’t know me as Johnny Blaze. I’ve been on the Pokemon scene for about six years now (wow has it been that long?). I started playing the game when I purchased the 1st edition Machamp theme deck for my then 5 yr. old son Nick. I was immediately hooked and then we began to purchase individual booster packs to improve our “theme deck”. Not long after, Toys-R-Us started their weekly Pokemon League and we joined that. The badges and battling were fun but as we got better in our deck building skills we craved for tournaments. We still continued at the League but we found a tournament that was one hour away every Saturday. During this time is when I started submitting Killer Deck reports on Pojo.

(Shameless plug: Please submit your tourney reports to Pojo too whether or not whether you are a beginner or a long time player).

Since then we have attended all Super Trainer Showdown and World Championships sponsored by Wizards and now the Pokemon World Championships and Qualifiers under Nintendo. We also play Magic, Duel Masters, and VS. on the competitive level, along with NeoPets, GI Joe, and Digimon for fun. But we will continue to play and support Pokemon for the long haul. Enough of me already lets get to the deck.
