TCG Battle: Talon87 vs Balmund

[Acio29619]

Acio29619 does indeed feel the need to include the word "indeed" in every single TCG post.


If this first post looks familiar it is because I copy/pasted what I put on the last topic. I hope I do a well enough job with all of this. So with that, here are the rules and stuff, mostly taken from other battles and the rules thread.

* I will need both of you to PM me your decks of 60 cards, including links to where you received each card. Also tell me then whether each of you would like a visible deck, or hidden deck duel.
* I will first deal out each player's hand of 7 by PM.
* After that, both of you PM me what your Active and Benched (if any) Pokemon will be. Then the prize cards will be sorted out, each one assigned a number from 1-6.
* Then I will decide who will go first by virtual coin flip. That player will receive their drawn card through PM and act, then the other player does the same, then back again.

Remember:
-Editing of posts is NOT allowed ever. Be very sure of what your move is before posting.
-Be sure to state that you are ending your turn when you intend to do so.
-Cards like Bill and Pokeball require the ref to respond before the player's turn can be carried out. When using such cards, end your post with *Awaiting Ref PM* or something like that. I will either post the result in the thread, or the results will be PM'd to the player. The player then double posts or posts after I did to continue their play.
-Please try to have each command/action be stated as its own line.
Ex:
*Attaches Grass Energy to Oddish*
*Retreats Oddish to the Bench, making Pikachu Active pokemon*
*Attacks with Pikachu's Thundershock*
*End Turn*

If you need to look at the TCG rules, hopefully this is suitable, it seems to be up to date. Da Rules *Basic and essentials I think, advance stuff might be found elsewhere if needed*

And now I send both duelists their Hands so that I can setup for the first turn.
