powerful, yet has cheap attack costs, and can take down other Pokemon which
cannot be taken down by the normal types of a deck.

Tournament Report
1st Round- I got a bye.
No one could believe. I'm like the best players, or one of the best players
there, and I still got a bye, almost guaranteeing me a prize.

2nd Round- Me vs. kid named Robert also- Deck- Fighting, Psychic
Well this was a cool match. I got a good hand, good cards. I quickly Oaked
away to like half my deck, and used Movie Promo(MP) Mewtwo to knock out his
Hitmonchans, Dittos, and MP Mewtwos of his own. I killed the last Pokemon
with a Chansey I believe.

3rd Round- Me vs. Mark who played a Electric/something else.
Even though I won the match something controversial happened. James who is my
friend and was running the tournament, said that cause I got a bye and Mark
got a bye, we both automatically didn't get to advance for a possible first
prize match. After MUCH argueing, I got to advance for first prize.

4th Round- Me vs. Some other kid with Wiggly with psychic Pokemon.
Well, he got REALLY bad cards. I was like, kill, prize, kill, prize, and so
on. I ended winning for 1st prize again!

Well anyways I got $30 dollars credit. I got some Magic packs, pulled an
Avatar of Fury, Squee, foil land, and some other good stuff. I also bought a
Ultra-pro binder with zipper for my friend Bill cause he needed one and he's
cool. Not a bad tournament for around 11-14 people.

Well...

Props
