About 40 League Members Attended

Hey, Pojoholics, it's me with another deck report using my sponge. If you ask
me, this is the best deck for where I play. I bought 9 gym heroes boosters
and opened them at the league, to burn some time. I got some good cards(2
holos).Here's my deck:

Pokémon: 10
3 Electabuzz (Base)
3 Mewtwo (MP)
2 Chansey
2 Scyther

Trainers: 32
4 Professor Oak
4 Plus Power
4 Energy Removal
4 Rocket's Sneak Attack
3 Secret Mission
3 Gust of Wind
3 Computer Search
3 Scoop Up
2 Nightly Garbage Run
2 Item Finder

Energy: 18
6 Electric
6 Psychic
2 Rainbow
4 Double Colorless

The strategy is second turn 30-160(swords dance, slash with weakness and 4
plus power) damage. Try to win really quick with this deck. I'll use R/B/Y
terms (Lass, Gambler, etc.)for my opponents instead of their real names. The
first half of the league this freaky kid walked around, kicking people and
stealing their cards while they were playing. He tried to walk away with my
deck. He had tons of prerelease cards in his hands that I think he stole from
the gym leader. Now onto the matches:

Game 1: Me vs. Super Nerd with water/fighting
    That weird kid was kicking me the whole game. I got a second turn 60 with
scyther and took out a few poliwag with it until being KOed by a lickitung.
Then I brought out 'buzz and slowly met my doom because she kept getting
heads with tongue wrap. That weird kid took my opponent's discard pile a
tried to leave, but we stopped him. Then I double-edged lickitung and eevee
for the win.

    The gym leader tried too get that weird kid to leave, but he kept coming
back when nobody was looking and stealing promo cards from the gym leader's
stash.

Next game: Me vs. Younster with Water deck with lots of poliwag
    Here's what was said:
"Professor Oak, Energy Absorption, go"
    "Water Gun, go"
"Psyburn, I win"

Me vs. Pokémaniac with Raindance
    We both got crappy starts, me energyless mewtwo, him slow articuno. I
built up my bench, as did he. His bench of articuno and blastiose couldn't
survive thunderpunch then double edge, though. I won due to his lack of
basics.

Me vs. Rival with damage swap
    I tore up his hand with RSAs and burned through my deck to get a third
turn win with mewtwo, by KOing his mewtwo and alakazam.

Me vs. Rival with viagra
    Me both got our preferred combos, but his 'tuff just shrugged off a
second turn psyburn and started burning through my pokémon. His dark dugtrio
made me kill myself when I retreat, and his Rocket's hitmonchan knocked out
my chansey and electabuzz.I got some prizes, though. I lost with 2 prizes
left.

Props and Slops:
