Subject: Steel Fury Wow, it's been a month. Sorry for such a long hiatus, guys. I'm behind four deck fixes, but I swear I'll make them up. Turkey Day break is here, which means no school for Tashi, and more time to fix decks! =) >>>> Dear Satoshi I haven't played pokemon for about a year and a half so im just wondering if you could help me fix my new deck. Here it is Pokemon 4 Steelix 4 Onix (base set) 4 Skarmory (neo1) 4 Sneasel (neo1) 4 Murkrow (neo1) Trainers 4 Computer Search 2 Energy Flow 4 Energy Charge 2 Eco Gym 4 Gold Berry 4 Switch Energy 4 Steel Energy 4 Dark Energy 4 Rainbow Energy 4 Recycle Energy 4 Fighting Energy The strategy of this deck is to just beat them like, steelix is a really good defender I just fill my bench and use sneasel's beat up. Well Satoshi if you can help please do. >>>> So shall it be said, so shall it be written, so shall it be _done_. ;D Pokemon (20) 4 Steelix 4 Onix (base set) 4 Skarmory (neo1) 4 Sneasel (neo1) 4 Murkrow (neo1) Well, you've got a nice selection, but some heavy numbers. First, make sure those Onix are Southern Islands Onix, simply because their colorless attack allows for some decent damage. Damage? From an Onix? AHHH! =P Anyway, a 4-4 Steelix line is fine, but Skarmory is not. In any amount. Nix the Skarmmory for four Cleffa, and then kill off two Murkrow and a Sneasel for space later: (17) 4 Onix (si) 4 Steelix 4 Cleffa 3 Sneasel 2 Murkrow +3 Empty Spaces Hmmm...on to the Trainers! Trainers 4 Computer Search 2 Energy Flow 4 Energy Charge 2 Eco Gym 4 Gold Berry 4 Switch Erm...wow. That's an odd mix of Trainers, but no draw power in sight. We have seven empty spaces, so use them to add in three Professor Oak. Next, kill off all the Switches for another Professor Oak and three Itemfinder. The Energy Flow can go for another Itemfinder and one Professor Elm, while Energy Charge is dropped for three Super Energy Removal and a second Professor Elm. another Gold Berry can be dropped for an Energy Removal, while the Fighting Energy can be dropped for two more Energy Removal and two Gust of Wind. With the four Recycle Energy spaces, let's go ahead and add in four PlusPower. 31 4 Professor Oak 4 Computer Search 4 Itemfinder 4 Pluspower 3 Super Energy Removal 3 Energy Removal 3 Gold Berry 2 Eco Gym 2 Professor Elm 2 Gust of Wind And now, the Energy. I believe we fixed it along the way. Here it is! 12 4 Steel Energy 4 Dark Energy 4 Rainbow Energy There ya have it. That should work fairly well, but the only way to tell for sure is to playtest the sucker. Good luck and happy gaming!
