If the creases are blatant enough so that you can tell what the card is, from the back, then it's considered marked.

Players are responsible for ensuring that their cards are not marked in any way. A card is considered marked if some aspect of the card makes it possible to identify it without seeing its face, including scratches, tears, discoloration, bends, and so forth. If a player’s cards are sleeved, the sleeves are considered to be part of the cards, so the cards must be examined while in the sleeves to determine if there is a marked card situation.

If it's sufficiently creased enough in this manner, you may ask the Head Judge if you may use a proxy card instead (you have to ask permission to do this). If the HJ approves, you can replace that Mewtwo EX card with another card. In that case, you keep the original Mewtwo EX card outside your deck as a reference card.

15.7. Proxies
Player-made proxies are considered to be fake cards and should be treated as such in all ways. Players should ensure that the cards in their decks are in good condition before attending a tournament so as not to create a marked-card situation.
If a card becomes damaged during a tournament in such a way that results in the card becoming marked, a judge is allowed to create a proxy of that card to act as the damaged card in all ways for the remainder of the tournament. The damaged card must be retained to use as a reference when the proxy card is played. Alternately, if the player has another copy of that card that is available for use, the player can simply replace the damaged card with an undamaged copy.
In some cases, a card is damaged due to a production error. Players should do their best to avoid playing with these cards, though sometimes that is not possible. If the judge feels that this creates a marked-card situation, the judge may create a proxy card to act as the damaged card in all ways for the remainder of the tournament. The damaged card must be retained to use as a reference when the proxy card is played.

Couldn't you have your entire deck sleeved with matching sleeves? Or is that not allowed?
