Woohooo...here I am again, your friendly neighborhood Satoshi back behind the workbench for a good ol' round of Deck Mechin'. Our deck today comes to us by way of Mel, a regular in Pojo's mIRC chat room. Since I promised her I'd look over her deck, here I am doing just that! =D >>>> Pokémon (18) 2 Elekid 2 Tyrogue 2 Light Vaporeon 2 Light Jolteon 2 Light Flareon 4 Eevee L14 4 Cleffa Energy (20) 5 Water Energy 4 Rainbow Energy 5 Lightning Energy 6 Fire Energy Trainers (22) 4 Double Gust 2 Bill's Maintenance 4 Pokemon Trader 4 Focus Band 2 Gold Berry 4 Professor Elm 2 Time Capsule >>>> Alrighty, let's see, let's see.... Pokémon (18) 2 Elekid 2 Tyrogue 2 Light Vaporeon 2 Light Jolteon 2 Light Flareon 4 Eevee L14 4 Cleffa Hmm..wow, that's a LOT of babies. And having just a bunch of babies kind of...isn't good. So let's get rid of the two Elekid and instead get a steady hitter into this deck...hmm... but now the question is WHAT decent hitter. Well, you know what, I think I'll add in some Neo Genesis Wooper just because he's so cool looking. ;D Next, I'm noticing the 6 evolutions of Eevee...although it's nifty to have so many possiblities, let's be reasonable: two of them are going to be card fodder; possbily more than two if any of the Eevee are left in your prizes. So let's knock some of them out...to keep things colorful, we'll kill a Light Flareon and Vaporeon - this way, we've still got all of the colors, but a reasonable amount of evolutions themselves. With those two spaces, add in two Professor Oak's Research; a cool new card that combos well with pretty much any c ard-drawing, like Professor Elm.

I notice the four Focus Bands and two Gold Berries, which makes me go "=/" and then cry. ;P Just playin, Mel. But seriously, let's make it 2 Focus and 3 Gold Berry by removing 2 Band and adding a Berry and a single Copycat. Next, drop the two Bill's Maintenance for two more Professor Oak's Research, and that'll do it.
