Hey there Pojo!  This is my first killer deck report.  I hope to have some
new ones soon.  I love the new Gym Challenges.   I was lucky enough to
purchase a whole box of 1st edition on Friday.  My favorites are  Sabrina's
Gengar and Kadabra(WOW...what an attack for one energy...and my lucky Pikachu
coin!!!) and Misty's Psyduck  (this card rules!).  Anyhow, I wanted to make a
new deck for this weekends league to show off some of my new cards and to
kick some butt with Kadabra and Genger.  So my original deck contained both,
but I play tested it a couple of times and it just didn't click.  So I looked
back through my cards and there was that stupid duck looking me right in the
face!!!    Misty's Psyduck... For one tiny psychic energy,  I have some major
options.  Flip 3 coins.  One heads = draw a card(not great, but no bad
either).  Two heads = 20 damage(decent).  But now for the icing on the
cake...3 heads and you can copy one of the defending pokemon's attacks except
for energy costs!!!!   Awesome!   Anyway here's what my deck looks like.

4  Sabrina's Gastly  (lv. 10)
2  Sabrina's Haunter  (lv. 29)
3  Sabrina's Gengar  (2 lv. 39 and 1 lv. 42)
3 Misty's Psyduck  (lv. 18)
2  Erika's Dratini
1  Mr. Mime 

Trainers  (25)
3 Oaks
4 Bills
4 Plus power
3 Comp. search
2 G.O.W.
2 Item finder
1 Switch
1 N.G.R.
2 Breeders
1 Goop gas
1 Scoop up
1 Resistance Gym

Energy
16 Psychic
4 Double colorless


Report:
This deck won five out of five matches.  And I know you guys want us to give
a detailed report of each match but quite frankly I only remember one of
them,  probably cause the first four went by soo fast.  But the fifth one I
remember.  It was against a dude with 8 badges (I, having just recently
started playing Pokemon, have ZERO badges).  So I was a bit nervous.  Anyhow
I'm only going to report this match so I really hope you will post it :-)


Ducky  Ghosts  vs.  Matt with a  Fire/Fighting deck

It was Psyduck against a Machop.  (I had in my hand 1 plus power, bill, 2
psychic energy,  comp.search  and Gastly on the bench)  He won the flip,
billed and put charmander and growlithe on the bench, attached an energy to
machop and kicked...20 damage to psyduck.  I drew a bill and billed twice
(getting another plus power ), attached two pps to duck and flipped two
heads...20 damage and 20 more for pps...dead machop.  His next turn, he laid
a ryhorn on the bench and a fighting energy on charmander and passed.  After
drawing, I billed again and laid mr.mime w/energy and S. haunter(on gastly)
on the bench.  I attacked and flipped 2 heads...40 damage to growlithe due to
weakness of water.  His turn,  he laid another fighting energy on
charmander(was is he doing, i wonder) and evolved growlithe to arcanine [to
stall he says!! :-) ]  My next turn I flipped 3 heads and copied
Flamethrower!!!  Bye, bye big dog.  He then evolved the lizard to charmeleon
and took out Psyduck with pp.  By this time I had a fully charged lv.42
Gengar and Mr. Mime on the bench.  I would attack with Gengar and another
Psyduck then clean up with Mr. mime once damage was on all of his Pokes' ! 
Victory for me and enough points to get my first badge!!!!!!!   Awesome.  
Geez,  I sound like Ashe...how pathetic.

Thanks for reading!
