Dear Pojo,

This sunday I entered my first tourney at a place
called Dream Wisards in Rockville, MD (I found it from
your places to play section).  There was only around 8
people in the 13 and older group and a whole bunch of
kids in the younger group (I'm fourteen years old). My
deck is called potpourri of death and did pretty well.
I came in second place with a total record of 4-1.
Here it is:

3 Scyther
3 Fossil magmar
3 Electabuzz
2 Mr. mime
2 Promo Mewtwo

4 Bill
2 Oak
3 GOW
3 Plus power
2 Comp search
2 Item finder
3 ER
2 SER
2 Scoop Up

8 Psychic
7 Fire
6 Electric
3 DCL

I couldn't remember each round exactly so I'll just
give you a basic overview.

Round 1 v. Chinese guy with nido queen/king deck

I started out with my scyther and did a little damage
but didn't kill any one.  I got Promo mewtwo out and
pumped around the third round and cleaned up his
psychic weak pokemon for an easy win.
1-0

Round 2 v. Guy who kept humming TLC song w/ psy deck

It was a pretty slow game, nothing much happened for a
while since we both had out mr. mime for around half a
dozen turns.  There was a lot of retreating and a
little damage done.  I didn't remember this game to
well, but when the gym leader said time was up, I
picked up three prizes and he picked up two so I won.
2-0

Round 3 v. Guy w/potpourri variant

This guy had great deck, very simmilar deck to mine
except he had Hitmonchan instead of magmar.  He had
out buzz, scyther and chan very quickly with lots of
energy, ER and SER.  I tried to stay alive as long as
possible but I just didn't have enough energy with all
ERs he played.  I would have had a better chance of
winning if I had a better starting hand, but I didn't,
so I lost.
2-1

Round 4 v. Kid w/charizard deck (lol)

This kid had a poorly constructed charizard deck with
out any good rare trainers.  He started with a
growlith but I easily killed him with ERs and a Fossil
magmar.  He got out a charmeleon but I killed him
easilly with some more ER's.  I won because he didn't
have any basics left.
3-1

Round 5 v. Guy with Jiggly/Wiggly Clefary/Clefable
deck

This guy had a pretty good deck with some scythers in
it.  We were battling for second place which was a two
booster pack prize.  He started out with 2 clefaries,
scyther, and jiggly.  I easily killed jiggly with my
scyther and then he put up his scyther. He never got
off a good attack with it because he didn't have any
any energy so I killed it. I think he got out a
clefable and was able to kill my scyther.  A couple of
other things happened that I couldn't remember but we
ended up with one prize left for me and three for him.
I had out an electabuzz and he had another clefable
with fourty hp left. I used item finder and found a
plus power for a guaranteed kill and used thunder
punch for the win.
4-1

I came in second place and recieved two booster packs,
one base and one jungle.  In them I got a dragonair
and a non holo jolteon.  With the dragonair I helped
my younger sister construct her first deck with an
Energy removal theme.  I figured out that even though
fossil magmars are good against scythers, they just
don't do enough damage, so I'm replacing them with
three hitmonchan and fighting energy. 

Props and slops:

Props to me for coming in second place in my first
tourney.
Props to Pojo for teaching me how to make a good deck.
