Trivia
- Mew is his favorite Pokémon, because many Mew cards "have a unique ability that adds to the depth of the game."
- Klaczynski does not participate in any aspects of Pokémon outside of the TCG. He used to enjoy the games when he was younger, but moved away from them as his schedule tightened.
- Klaczynski has met his three best friends through the TCG.
- While performing exceedingly well at smaller tournaments and World Championships, he has had a noticeable lack of success at the U.S. National Championships. He attributes this primarily to bad luck.
