Hey, this is the Moogman, and I placed 9th out of 48 in the Gathering 
Ground's tourney, and anyone that lives near it should come every week.  My 
deck advice to all of you is 24 energy does not work.  You won't get enough.  
In the 2 games I lost of that tourney, I ran out of basics both times, not 
energy.  I'd like to ask everyone to check out Tyler's deck because it kicks 
and it makes a point: Don't build your decks around foils just because they 
look pretty.  

     My Hydro-jab deck uses 29 energy and I never run out so I guess it 
works.  It also uses heavy card-drawing-3 Prof. Oaks and 4 Bills-which is why 
I get everything in my deck.  The Seel-Dewgong combo works just like 
Magicarp-Gyarados except Dewgong has 20 less HP( but Seel is way better than 
Magicarp).  As soon as you whip out the Blastoise, you usually win.  With the 
3 Oaks, Bills, Comp. Search, and the Trader, you'll find it.  Good luck in 
the tourneys!
