    I attended a Pokemon Trading Card League session this week and I played a
few games and I'd like to report them. It wasn't a tournament but I got to
test out my new deck. Here it is:

(12 Pokemon)
4 Fossil Magmar
4 Electabuzz
4 Scyther

(27 Trainers)
4 Bill
3 Prof. Oak
4 Energy Removal
3 Super Energy Removal
4 Gust of Wind
4 Pluspower
3 Lass
2 Item Finder

(21 Energy)
10 Fire Energy
8 Electric Energy
3 Double Colorless Energy (DCE)

Round 1: The Denialator vs. my friend Chris and his Psychic Deck
This was cruel. I started with two Scythers, two Energy Removals, and 3 Fire
Energy. I began with both Scythers and him with Farfetch'd. I went first; I
drew a Prof. Oak. I added an energy to my active Scyther (that was stupid),
and passed. He added an energy to Farfetch'd. He Leek Slapped and got heads,
leaving Scyther with 40HP. I drew a pluspower, added an energy to my benched
Scyther and passed. He added a DCE to Farfetch'd and Pot smashed leaving
Scyther with 10 HP. I then drew a DCE. I energy removed his DCE and Psychic
energy off his Farfetch'd, then retreated Scyther for the other Scyther. I
attached my Pluspower and my DCE to him and Oaked. I got another pluspower,
attached it, and won because he had no basics!
Wins-Losses: 1-0

Round 2: The Denialator vs. my friend Chris's older brother Tony and his
Grass/Water deck
Another quick win. He started with Nidoran female and Eevee on the Bench. I
started with Electabuzz. He added an energy to Nidoran and used fury swipes,
he got 3 tails! I attached a lightning energy and thundershocked, no
paralysis. He added a water energy to Eevee and evolved it into Vaporeon . I
used a Bill, getting a Gust of Wind and something else. I used Gust of wind
on Vaporeon. I think I attached an energy to Magmar or Scyther or something,
but I can't remember. I attached an energy to my Electabuzz and
Thunderpunched his Vaporeon, Dealing 60 to him and 10 to me. He added a water
energy(?????) to his Nidoran female and passed. I used Super Energy Removal
on Nidoran, then I thundershocked Vaporeon, getting a
prize. He sent out his Nidoran with 10 damage out, passing. I killed it with
a Thunderpunch and Thundershock. He had no more basics.
Wins-Losses: 2-0

Round 3: The Denialator vs. some kid with a wierd Grass/Water Deck.
I began with Magmar up front and Electabuzz on the Bench. He started with a
lone Grimer (Fossil). I went first, adding a Fire Energy to Magmar and
smokescreened for 10. He added an energy to Grimer and nasty goo succeeded,
paralyzing me. I attached a Lightning Energy to my Electabuzz and passed. He
put Venonat on the Bench, evolved Grimer into Dark Muk and Sludge Punched my
Magmar, poisoning it. I used SER(using Electabuzz's energy) on his Dark Muk,
then used GOW on his Venonat, added an energy to Magmar and used Smog,
killing his Venonat due to weakness. He sent out Dark Muk and used Gambler,
getting heads (@$^&%@&*!!!). He filled his bench with Psyducks, another
Venonat and a Bellsprout. I used energy removals and their weaknesses to
Lightning and Fire to eventually collect my last Prize card.
Wins-Losses: 3-0

Round 4: I played the same kid again but he used the Gym Leader's "Trainer
Deck A"(Fighting)
I saw this deck a while back so I knew it was fighting. Luckily my hand was
Scythers, an energy removal, and 4 Fire energy. I started with my Scythers:
he started with two Sandshrews (LOL)
He used sand attack a bunch of times, but it did no damage to my resistant
Scythers, and so I                             filled up my bemched Scyther
with Energy and slashed them for the kills.
Wins-Losses: 4-0

Round 5: The Denialator vs. Energy Denial Deck
This kid was a little cheater. I think I saw him looking through his cards
before we started, but I let it go. He starts with TR Dratini and me with
Electabuzz with no Lightning Energy. He added a DCE to Dratini and Wrapped,
causing paralysis and 10 damage. I added a fire energy to Electabuzz for no
reason and passed. He put poliwag on his bench, then he evolved to Dragonair,
energy removed my fire energy off (????????You'll see why in a second), added
a DCE to Dragonair and used Hyper Beam on me. I energy removed a DCE off him
and gusted for poliwag. I attached a lightning energy to Electabuzz and used
Thundershock, no paralysis. He attached a DCE to Dragonair (that's 3 already
in 3 turns???) and passed. I energy removed his DCE again and Thunder shocked
leaving his poliwag with 20 HP. He attached a DCE (AGAIN, HE PUT 4 DCE in 4
TURNS!?!?!?), and passed. I then got up to get my promo card from the gym
leader and when I went back, He had picked up all his cards and left. I 'm
counting this as a win because from the evidence, his opening hand was
Dratini, Dragnair, 4 Double Colorless Energy, and an energy removal!
Wins-Losses: 5-0        

Pretty good, huh? I plan to keep using this deck for a while.
