The thing that makes my deck a killer deck is that it, like other possible decks, the types in it have a weakness toward each other. This has no real offensive advantage, but it somehow helps. Even though fire has a weakness toward water, fire has Killer Cards, with cheap, but powerful attacks. Also, Fire Pokemon have awesome Evolutions. (Ex:) The Pokemon Charmander has 50 HP, but he just keeps getting better. Charmander, with Scratch that deals 10 damage, is not that good. Ember costs more to use, but it deals 30 damage. You must discard one fire. However, if you evolve it, you have Charmeleon, with 80 HP. He has Slash, which deals 30 damage, and costs 3 Colorless. Flamethrower is the equivalent to Charmander's Ember, but it deals 50 damage. You must discard 1 Fire Energy. Now we get to the all awesome Charizard. This monster has 120 HP, and has a Pokemon Power, Energy Burn, which enables you to turn all energy attached to Charizard into Fire Energy. Five Fire Energy's=Fire Blast. 100 Damage. However, you must discard 2 or 3 Fire Energys. Grass has Pokémon that can poison, which deals 10 damage to the Defending Pokémon every time it is it's turn. Poisoning a weak Pokemon can, and probably will mean it's quick demise. Nidoran, has Horn Hazzard with 30 Damage, but you must flip a coin, and if you get a heads, this attack hits. Nidorino has more powerful attacks then Nidoking. His DoubleKick attack costs two Colorless and 1 Grass. You flip two coins, and if you get two heads, you deal 60 damage. One head is 30 damage. No heads equal 0 damage. Horn Drill costs two Grass Energy and two Colorless, but it deals 50 damage, enough to knock out the average Pokemon. (The Average Pokemon has 50 HP.) And, if you have a Nidoking, it's Poison will deal 20 damage instead of 10. To bad a Pokemon can't get burnt in the card game. 2. Well, I didn't win. Fire, is the most common energy, 2nd most common being Fighting. I don't have a lot of Grass Energy, so you can say that I didn't have enough Grass Energy to support my Pokémon. This got me wupped. 3. I have name my deck the, "Forest Fire" deck. 4. My email address is FuturamaKA@aol.com 5.

Sorry I do not know much about the Tournament I went to. I could not get in, because, (I must complain) there were 5 tables for 6,000 people. There was just not enough room to play. I wish that the tournament was outside, and hundreds of tables were set up. I wish all future tournaments will be like my wish.
