Anyone >> named Brandon and their name isn't spelled B-r-a-n-d-o-n sorry if I offended >> you, inferring your parents are pot-heads or crack addicts or something. But >> sorry, they are (ehehe). Anyways, Brandon was playing a haymaker- oh goody, >> time to see how good my deck does against the tournament best deck! >> >> GAME ONE: I killed Brandon pretty easily with a Poliwrath- espescially after >> getting rid of his energies and he helped me out by prof. oaking 6 or 7. >> >> GAME TWO: He almost got me, but I did beat him with 1 card left in my deck. >> He had 2 cards left , but I drew the water energy to retreat the seel he >> gusted in to finish his hitmonchan with my poliwrath- yay! >> >> ROUND THREE: Against my arch-nemesis, Eric Chapman.
