Hey Pojo!
  I'm Jake and I played at a tourney today (4-9-00) At my local toys r us
store in illinois.
I played great, I played 5 games but I came in second. Any way heres my
deck, "Arcanines Cleaner". This deck is something I saw on your site so I
revised it and decided to try it. Its Awesome!

Arcanines Cleaner

14 fire E
10 grass E
Pokemon
4 growlithe :to evolve
3 Arcanine : Big dog
1 moltres   : Big attacks
4 fossil magmar : status inflicting attacks
3 grimer :status inflicting
1 muk  :  Pokemon power, Slows down raindance invisible wall ECT.
3 koffing : status inflicting
3 lickitung : Big hp Status inflicting
4 bill   : whats not to like about 2 free cards
2 oak  : whom I worship
1 trader  : Helps get out Big dog
3 G.O.W  : For arcanine to pick and chose
3 recycle  : get those cards back
1 D.C.E   :  Extra power
Strategy: The strategy 2 this deck is simple, Use the status inflicting
attacks to slow your opponent down then after 3 prizes have arcanine ready to
destroy their bench. This is a great deck and its not full of rares like
haymakers and as a matter of fact this deck destroys haymakers.83% of the
time especially with a good player.

Tournament

Me vs Raindance kid
This kid is good but his hand wasnt. All he got was squirtle, I got magmar.
He RAN OUT OF BASICS.EASY WIN.

1-0

me vs annoying kid with 2 charizards all fire deck

This was a good match.none of my grass popkemon were weak against him. he got
moltres and charmander. I got koffing and grimer+ 1 bill. I won the toss. it
was koffing vs charmander i energyed koffing,no damage yet. Charmander gets
an early start but once it was my turn I confused him with koffs attack.
charmander commited suicide so did motres. win

2-0
So far i havent used arcanines.

Me vs Venusaur deck

I made short work of this deck. I started with grimers and also threw magmars
at him as they came. He was able to get Venusaur out but I got 2 arcanines
out. He saw no way out and threw in the towel.Win
3-0

me vs Haymaker

I was cocky for this one . He started with scyther me with magmar. I got the
toss and poisoned him on turn two. later on I pulled an arcanine and he got a
few hitmonchans.
I took out all his scythers with flamethrowers and once he got 1 of my
arcanines down I would recycle him and fire them up again. His electabuzz's
were driving me mad but his energy removals were driving me crazy. There were
no judges so once he purposley flipped the coin of the table and when bent
over to get it he pulled off a few damage counters and I noticed but had no
proof. But as they say cheaters never win I won by a prize from big dog.WIN
4-0

Me vs damage swap

This wasnt my game. Muk never came out and he would of helped disable her
damgeswap power but you win some you lose some. any ways all my arcanines
came out and started piling damage on chanceys but she kept using pokemon
centers.dang!! Arcanines were not working as well as status inflicting
attacks.
i hate these decks I prayed for muk and finally I lost by prizes. I can be a
sore loser but i seriosly think she cheated.Loss
4-1

Well second place is good.  I got three boosters and got a CHARIZARD BEEDRILL
+ COMP.SEARCH !! Rock out .
