I had to modify this deck SO much before/during registration but I got it. The purpose of the deck is to cripple your opponent early in game and make sure he doesn't recover.

Round 1 v.s. Some little kid with a Squeky Voice (Blaziken EX Deck)

This one was quick and painless. He had a 40 hp Torchic out no bench, and I had 2 Mewtwo EX and 1 Electabuzz. I went first so I did Reporter, psychic energy to Mewtwo. He was helpless all he could pull out was fire energies for 2 more turns while I powered up Mewtwo. Psyburn, Game.

1-0

Round 2 v.s. Chris Roberts (Ampharos EX Deck)

Very long match I started with a good hand, but so did he. I had a Wobbuffet, Mewtwo, 3 Psychic Energies, 1 Skitty, 1 Delcatty.I stalled with Wobbuffet while I powered up Mewtwo. He got up his Ampharos EX on bench and had a Delcatty for Active. Once he knocked out Wobb I had full powered Mewtwo up in active with a strength charm. I picked off his pokemon one by one as he powered up his Ampharos. I had 1 prize left and 1 card left in deck uh-oh. It ended up that I decked out.

1-1 

Round 3 v.s. Kevin Fuuji (Gardy EX Deck)

Can't quite remember this one too well but it was fast. I got out Mewtwo and Delcatty early and descimated him.

2-1

Lunch Break:

Had Mc Donald's =P

Round 4 v.s. Red headed dude (B.A.R. Deck)

Oy This one was bad. I had 2 Wobbuffet and all energies in my hand. He quickly developed Blaziken EX and Firestarter Blaziken and Took me out fast.

2-2

Round 5 v.s. Ian Scott (Sceptile Deck)

Well another long but good battle. We both had good hands and really got our decks goin. Can't remember all of it but it came down to both of us having 1 prize left and I decked out bummer =/

2-3
