---------------------------------------------------
    After the whole summer the Gym Leader is back, I
think or we got a new one. I made a new fire deck with
Gym Hero's. It played semi-good. The point of it is
speed. Here it is:
---------------------------------------------------
The Deck:
-Pokemon (8)-
4 - Blaine's Magmar (100 Damge 1st turn, yeah)
2 - Fossil Magmar (Good Starter and semi-staller)
2 - Base Magmar (Some Heavy Certain Damage - Starter)
-Trainers (16)-
4 - Nightly Garbage Run (No decking)
4 - Blaine (More NRG 1st turn)
2 - Potion (Don't want Magmar to faint)
2 - Gust of Wind (Kill the weaklings)
2 - Cinnibar Island Gym (No weakness for Magmar)
2 - Item Finder (Get back the Good Trainers)
-Energy (36)-
36 - Fire Energy (Get a lot of Fire Energy)
--------------------------------------------------
Deck Startegy:
TO get Magmar w/ 3 NRG out ASAP and do 60 - 100 damage
per turn. Fossil Magmar is the best starter usaully.
If your opponent has no water you can switch to put in
1 more Potion and 1 more Gust of Wind (if allowed).
When GYM 2 comes out I'm putting in the english
version of Blaine and, CIG. (Note: If they decide to
use Prop15 you can take out a Blaine for it to work
semi-well)
--------------------------------------------------Translation:
Blaine - Trainer (Rare)
For this turn only, you may play 1 additional Fire NRG
card on 1 of your Blaine Pokemon
Cinnibar Island Gym - Stadium Card (Uncommon)
Ignore all of Blaine's PKMN weakness to water
