Since the tournament scene is clogged up with first and second turn knockouts
and wins, this tournament was designed to rid the environment of this and
only allowed cards from the team rocket, gym heroes, gym challenge, and neo
expansion sets. Below is the deck I made and how I did. I hope you can learn
something from this report

Round #5 (finals)
Me Vs Josue a.k.a fudgepacker
this kid was playing a Sneasel, Murkrow, Gligar deck. The first game was up
to Hitmonchan and 4 quick prizes. Game Two was all Josue's Sneasel. The third
game went down to prize count and Josue won because of prize count 5-4. 5
more minutes and the game would have been mine. fully powered up hitmonchan
as active. well those are the breaks.
