Do you have a good luck charm for the TCG?

I had a Ringuma card that came out of a fake pack of Pokemon cards. It had 600 HP and did 9000 damage or something. It was awesome. Everyone at Nats '07 loved it.
 
I have this. It's very special to me because of a story that happened that involved me pulling it right about when I started getting into it. I think I was 11 or 12 at the time. I lost it, but recently I have found it again. It's very special to me.
 
My good luck charm is a custom made playmat that says typhlosionwolf and has my 6 favorite Pokemon on it. One of my youtube friends made it for me. It's really awesome. :D
 
I have a shiny Turtwig battrio coin I keep in my dicebag and lay out during matches, a mini-binder that will soon be filled with every Tauros ever made, and prayers. Other than that, I make my own luck.

I make it like this --> :ninja :ninja :ninja
 
I actually have several good luck charms for the TCG. They include the Darkrai Professor mat and some Battrio coins (the coins being Arceus, Gallade, Roselia, Cherrim, and Piplup). Usually, I lay all of these good luck charms in a battle, but most of the time, I use the Darkrai mat over the Battrio coins.

Occasionally, I also bring a Lucario hat as a good luck charm for my tournaments, and compared to the mat and the coins, that hat seems to have given me quite some nice luck. I wore the Lucario hat in much of the states I went to, and whenever I wore the Lucario hat to a state championship, I ended up top cutting in that tournament. Talk about good luck!:D
 
I don't really have anything. I've used the same sleeves for almost every tournament for the last 3 years, if that counts.

On a slightly relevant note: I was trying to find out more about the incident that caused POP to forbid the use of foreign cards, and I found a post by someone who I believe judged that worlds. He made it sound like the guy who got DQed had claimed he had his "lucky Dark Palm Dusknoir" coincidentally sitting in the same spot as translations would be, leading to the opponent thinking it was a translation for a japanese dusknoir that he didn't actually have in his deck. I know some people would play a random Duskull to achieve the same result, but that was a funny incident once I learned more about it.
 
I don't really have a good luck charm. I have a Japanese Beartic if that counts... If I get a Mudkip* it would be a different story.

-------------------------------------

Wouldn't they ban foreign cards for financial reasons? The Japanese Lv.Xs were easier to pull than English Lv.Xs, so most people would trade for the Japanese equivalents or they would buy boxes of the Japanese sets. And if TPCi and Japanese Pokemon are different companies, than that would mean the money going to the Jpn box would go to the Japanese company, and not the American company.

This is exactly why foreign cards were banned.
 
That's what I knew was behind it, but does anyone know if the "lucky Dark Palm Dusknoir placed by translations" had anything to do with it?
 
I honestly doubt it, since at the time they were fazing out foreign cards, they did allow 10% of foreign cards but only from sets that were Rising Rivals and before that. I don't think crazy cheating players had anything to do with it.
 
My Revived Legends Deckbox which I think is lucky.
I still carry around my Luxray Xs which werent lucky, just cheap.
 
It's not really TOO much of a good luck charm, since it's only applied at prereleases I've been at. I have this Mario mushroom tin thing that I put some small dice in. The top of the mushroom (the cap) pops right off and can spin around, so I turn it 90 degrees to make it a gangster mushroom. I swear, its intimidating stare won me a few games, but it's more like a symbol.
 
I received a Mudkip plushie from a very dear friend of mine, but I always forget to bring it. >_>
Other than that, I just make sure my deck is sleeved up and the decklist is in order. Chaotic tendensies are my worst enemy.
With no stress, I need no luck.
(Just saying this will result in opening with a Cyndaquil and 6 energies in my next tournament during every match, but oh well.)
 
My lucky Luxio hat. It's in this picture (I'm the one on the right):

I have my lucky plushie. Zoroark's my team mascot, and my third favorite Pokemon. I'm thinking of using my Zorua plushie as well.

My lucky dicebag. Again with the Zoroark:

I don't have a lucky playmat, but I have an unlucky playmat. The HGSS mat.

I never have a good luck charm, all I do is bring my deck and play cards.

Go figure, explains a lot XD. My lucky charm ironically is a smeargle (UD) that azul borrowed during the same cities that I won my first medal, which is also good luck charm #2, (Only been playing the game for 1-2 years now so it is huge for me)
