<P align=left>I had this deck for a while and have been in several tournaments, 
but this is my first killer deck report. My deck is centered around me getting 
second stage evolution cards, but that's were Exeggutor comes in, because I am 
fairly good at flipping heads, and his big eggsplosion attack does major damage. 
I also added Tauros and Snorlax for beefier basic pokemon. </P>

<P>Round 1</P>
<P>Me vs. guy with an all fire deck</P></B>
<P>I was very lucky that my opponent had all fire deck. I only got one basic 
pokemon though and he got two. I had my base set poliwag out and I went first 
and killed his magmar before he got enough energies on him. Then I did away with 
his Ponyta with one hit.</P><B>
<P>Round 2</P>
<P>Me vs. girl with Golem deck</P></B>
<P>This was a very wierd deck, because I never seen a person with a mostly Golem 
deck before.... well she did good with it though, because she killed off my 
first pokemon, magikarp, with her Geodudes Stone Barrage, but I managed to take 
off 10 with flop. Then I bring out my Seel and do a headbutt. Then she flips a 
tails. I add another energy and do headbutt. Then she does 10 damage. I add 
another energy and evolve seel into Dewgong. I do Aurora Beam and annihilate the 
geodude. Then another Geodude is sent out. She adds another energy to that (She 
added one while it was on the bench) and does 20 to me. I do aurora beam and 
kill that. Then she brings out another geodude that has nothing on it. She 
evolves a geodude on the bench and it now has 2 fighting energies on it. I kill 
the geodude then I pick up a potion. She adds a energy to graveller and does 
rock throw and now I have 10 left! I pick up and put another Magikarp on my 
bench. I do aurora beam and it has ten left. It finishes me off, then I knock it 
out with flop for the win.</P><B>
<P>Round 3</P>
<P>Me vs. guy with psychic/grass</P></B>
<P>I pretty much got annihilated this match because I didnt get a basic pokemon 
three times in a row!!!! He got 6 extra cards then. He had like four basic 
pokemon, and I only had one. He sends out abra against my bulbasaur. He does 
psyshock several rounds, because I couldnt get any leaf energies. Then I 
eventually pick up an exeggcute. Then my bulbasaur dies. I send out exeggcute. 
Then he also eventually dies. I felt imbarassed by getting two pokemon knocked 
out by a measly abra.</P><B>
<P>Round 4</P>
<P>Me vs. a kid with almost all colorless pokemon</P></B>
<P>I killed this kid, because he kept getting Dratini's, and he eventually got a 
Chansey and a Kangaskhan, but he killed himelf with double edge and I eventually 
got Exeggutor and big eggsplosioned Khangaskhan a couple times.</P><B>
<P>Round 5</P>
<P>Me vs. a boy I know named Buddy with a water/fire deck</P></B>
<P>I know buddy and have played him several times before, but I usually beat 
him. This match he got very lucky though and eventually got his Dark Charizard 
out, with 4 enegies on it!!!! I had squitle out at that time and this was pretty 
far into the match. I was up with 2 prizes left and he needed 3. He killed me 
with continious firebal, but he had to discard two energies for the heads. I 
then sent out my poliwhirl and did double slap and it hit once. He had twenty 
left and he killed me next turn. Then I sent out Tauros and did stomp, and 
killed the Charizard, so we both had 1 prize left. He sent out his meowth and 
did 20 to my benched Magikarp. The I did Stomp and he had 10 left, but then he 
did Coin Hurl and killed my benched Magikarp.</P><B>
