I haven't played in years. On impulse, I decided to get back into the game. 
I looked for leagues and found one that would be playing tomorrow. So I went. 
I didn't have a deck and didn't plan on playing. I met a nice girl there who 
was great about the game and had 12-ish decks. We looked through each other's 
cards for a trade. She told me that they play Unlimited there so since I had 
litterally thousands of cards, I'd be able to make a good deck. She gave me 
some extra cards to make my deck really awesome. This is what we came up with:

2x Jungle Exeggcute
2x Jungle Exeggutor
2x Fossil Grimer
1x Rocket Grimer
1x Fossil Muk
2x Dark Muk
1x Base Weedle
1x Base Kakuna
1x Neo: Discovery Beedrill
2x Neo: Genesis Magby
1x Rocket Ekans
1x Sandstorm Arbok
1x Base Pinsir
1x Neo: Destiny Scyther

1x Pokemon Trader
3x Professor Oak
2x Gust of Wind
1x Computer Search
2x Poke Ball
1x Bill's Maintenence
1x Potion
3x Bill
1x Moo-Moo Milk

24x Grass Energy

This week wasn't an actual league, so we just randomly battled each other.

Round 1: Vs. Same girl (Team Magma deck, 6 Prizes)

She told me about the rule changes because I told her I might be a little rusty. 
I won after I retreated 1 of my Pokemon. I sent out Scyther. With Scyther's Sharp 
Sickle, some luck, and some GoW's, I won. Her Mighteyena almost KO'd a few of 
my Pokemon before I killed it.

Round 2: Vs. Guy with glasses (Grass/Lightening Deck, 4 Prizes)

He used Oddish's Sleep Powder to keep my Dark Muk down. At 10 HP left, he was 
scared to kill it because I would send out my Eggsegutor who now had 11 energies 
on it. Big mistake. I woke up and retreated Muk for Exeggutor and dominated 
the rest of the match with my Big Explosion.

Final: Vs. Girl who's brother brought me snacks and thought I was a girl 
(Same deck, 4 Prizes)

I'd just taught her to play, so she got a few of the rules messed up. Nothing major, 
just every so often tried to play a Gloom as a stage 1 Pokemon. Her Electabuzz kept 
the energy moving around the board. I got 1 prize with the help of Magby and GoW, 
and another thanks to my Exeggutor (Only 6 energy this time), but the star of the 
show was Beedrill with triple Poison and Twin Needle.

On the way home, I thought of a name for the deck. I'd figured it was partly a gift, 
I would name it after something lethal that came in a box. Closest I came up with was 
Anthrax.
