Below you will find the links that will bring you to the decks I currently have in my collection. These decks took me two years to complete. This was a tremendous undertaking and I am glad it is completed. Unfortunately I will not be adding anymore to my collection. It is a serious addiction that needs to be curbed.
I took considerable time researching these lists, ensuring I had only decks that placed well in a major tournament. This collection sports decks played in every era by the biggest names in the game. I did my best to ensure I had winning lists from Cities, States, Gym Challenges, Regionals, along with top lists from Nationals, and all the Worlds decks.
I did not deviate from the lists posted or given to me directly from the very person who topped the various tournaments. I did not attempt to change them or make them better in any way. This collection is truly a celebration of the best in the game, and the marks they left. I am honored to have this piece of history, and will cherish it for some time to come.
Some quick notes about how it is constructed.
This collection has nearly all of my personal rogue decks, that I created and played to multiple wins throughout my career. I thoroughly enjoy playing all formats in this collection. I certainly hope this provides you with the same enjoyment for years to come.

- All basic Metal and Darkness energy are Call of Legends.
- There are 9,720 total cards that need sleeves.
- The collection fills six, three row boxes.
- There are 162 total decks.
- I have no reverse holo cards in the entire collection, except the team decks of 2003. Those are max rarity.

I wish I appreciated then, how much I would cherish the minutes spent with this crew, on this amazing day.
Seems like just yesterday when all the fun was happening.
