Hello everyone... It's been a while, but, it is nice to see and hear some familiar faces...
I've been playing the game from Base Set all the way to Neo: Genesis... After I attended my fifth World Championship, I took a hiatus from the game... Surprisingly enough, I am back, thanks to one of the students I am helping to tutor... He enjoyed collecting the cards and was playing the game terribly, without the standard rules and structure of any kind... I bought back into a few cards and seemed to be hooked again, this time a little older and wiser...
For those who may recognize the name, this is the same Professor Maple:
- who wore the white lab coat with the Canadian flags...
- who waves the Canadian flag proudly at each event he was at...
- that played a rogue Donphan/Jigglypuff deck in the fifth Masters Division World Championships in New Jersey and still managed to do fairly well...
- that volunteered to be the Head Judge at the first Professor's Challenge at the fifth World Championships in New Jersey... Talk about a loaded field!
This is my first experience with Nintendo and POP at the helm... I hope to be able to kickstart a league or two here before too long... It will be nice to catch up on everything in the game, the metagame, and this board...
If you remember me at all, send me a PM!
Prof. Maple, a.k.a. John...
