Introduction

Hello.

My name is Johnny. I'm 29 years old and obsessed with Pokemon cards. I began playing competitively in August of 2013. I don't have a child who drug me into this, I just have spare time, disposal income, and an intense passion for shuffling.

I am starting this blog for two reasons:

1) As a personal outlet. For all of the great things pokemon provide me, professional advancement is not among them. I get to talk shop during league on Sundays, but am left with imaginary conversations the other 6 days of the week.

2) To promote creative deck building. I understand the appeal of tier one decks, but in my opinion, deck building is half of the game. There is a lot to be learned from the study of successful deck lists, but simply copying them and running them in your local league seems to miss the point. In short, #FREEKECLEON

I will be posting articles that profile single cards that intrigue/entertain me, and reports on decks I have built and played either in my local league or online. Some decks will be good, some decks will be awful, but hopefully all will be fun to play.

See you soon!
