Here's the deck, I used it in a weekly tourney at the War Room near Atlanta,
and about 35 people showed up. All sorts of very good players show up
every
week, and this time was no exception.

Round 1:
I played against a guy named Kevin, playing a fighting Wigglytuff opera deck.
I got lousy draw, but put out a scyther as my active with a voltorb and
magikarp on the bench. He used jigglypuff as his active, with a machop on
the bench.
He got out a wigglytuff on turn two and was terrorizing my scyther, put his
professor oak drew no basics, so I was able to hold off for a while. I
still
got no evolutions, so another scyther held him off until turn 5, when I got a
pumped gyarados. It looked good when gyarados only took 50, and all that
was
left on his bench was fighting, but then he got a jigglypuff and wigglytuff
and took out my gyaraods and my third scyther to win.
LOSS
Round 2:
Played a guy named Karl, who was playing a damage swap deck. His only
starter was an abra, though, and I started with a scyther and seel and
voltorb on the bench.
I left scyther to soak up damage, and by turn three, I had a dewgong with
four energy on the bench. He paralyzed scyther for a while, but after he
evolved it into alakazam, it was over in two turns.
WIN
Round 3:
I was playing david, who played a damage swap as well. I had an awful hand
and started with only a magikarp and he started with a jynx.
He hit the carp for 10, and I got out a voltorb and retreated magikarp to
make sure it would be safe. Next turn, I computer searched twice, getting
Electrode and Gyarados and played both, giving Gyarados 3 energy, but after I
dragon raged, he super energy removaled the gyarados, and jynx finished it
off in two turns.
LOSS
Round 4:
I was out of it, but playing for pride. I faced Josh and his
water/fighting
deck. I started with a in play scyther and voltorb and seel on the bench,
and he started with a diglett in play and eevee on the bench.
Second turn, I got out my dewgong and electrode, giving dewgong four energy,
then I put him out, and promptly beat up snorlax, diglett, clefairy,
hitmonchan, and eevee without getting hit to win.
WIN
Round 5:
For a winning record. Kevin was playing a grass deck against me. I
started
with a seel ith a voltorb on the bench, and he started with a bulbasaur.
He went first, and played an energy. I did the same and headbutted.
He then
leech seeded, but I got out Dewgong and Electrode, and Aurora beamed, ending
it in two turns.
WIN
So, I went three and two, not winning anything. Maybe I'll just play
haymaker next time...
