Here's a great deck which you can build mostly from a starter, but you will be required to get some rare cards (not holos however). 15 Fire Energy 10 Fighting Energy 4 Machop 4 Chamander 3 Magmar 3 Rattata 3 Farfetch'd 4 Bill 2 Professor Oak 4 PlusPower 4 Energy Removal 2 Gust of Wind 1 Scoop Up 1 Energy Retreival This deck is basically a "Poor Man's Haymaker." It is a quick beatdown deck with no frills. Draw cards and keep the pressure on your opponent. However what this deck lacks is the ability to beat Rain Dance decks. It may win occasionally but it lacks the real Rain Dance killer, electric pokemon (Electabuzz in particular.) - Keith Williams
