The Pokemon trend continues

Congratulations to our Pokemon Club tournament participants! It was a grueling three hours of play but Rowan Jensen's Gholdengo deck propelled him to a first place finish. Mr. Shara's Togepi deck landed him a nice soft second place finish. Losing immediately were Mr. Solomon, Brody Joly, Nolan Welch and Will Levrault. Join us at our next tournament, on March 6.
