Angelo, try mentioning that they would get $MONEY$ for having the turney. People would by more boosters and other stuff. That usually makes them look your way. I have a question... Do you play Magic??? Most of the decks sent in by magic players have very little energy, around 20 for the average. In pokemon, energy is way more important, because you don't get to share it between your pokemon, unless you have Venusaur. Try more energy. Also, take out 1 Machoke, so that you won't draw to many. You got the idea of drawing cards down, but I would go for another professor oak. I would also take out the pidgey and sandshrew and put in more diglet or Hitmonchan (he rules!). You also have many diverse trainers. I would focus on certain ones, instead of almost 1 of each. Add more gust of wind, they seem to work great in fast decks. Keep trying to make this deck better, and I hope you get that turney you want. >Dear Pojo, I am trying to get the comic book store near me (Amazing Comics) >to run a Pokemon card tournament.
