The founder of Team Toxic / PokemonToxic, Owen, is a midwest Masters Division Trading card player. As a young child, Owen collected cards and attempted to teach his friends the competitive game on the playground during Pokemon initial height of popularity in 1999. As the years passed, Pokemon fell out of trend for other card games like Konami's Yu-Gi-Oh and Wizards of the Coast's Magic the Gathering. Returning to the competitive scene in 2013 thanks to his local university's club/league, Owen began playing the card game he loved to play as a child. There was finally a community of players who were interested in competing and not collecting because "of the pretty artwork". Originally a strong player from central Ohio, later moved to North East Ohio {NE OH} where he remains a dominant local player. Owen favorite decks are hyper aggressive decks and slow, skill intensive "chipping" lock decks. Owen is also a worlds competitor for the 2015-2016 season and also was a top 100 players in US & Canada. Owen runs the Facebook page, Team Twitter account, the Twitch channel, and manages/edits the toxicpokemon blog entries and pages.
