Hi! P'Chan here wish something I came up with while looking though Pojo's
magazine!


It involves Professor Utsugi and Kurumi, which are trainers from the Neo
expansion, if you didn't know :).


Professor Utsugi

Shuffle your hand into your deck, then draw seven cards. Until the end of
your opponent's next turn, you may not play Trainer cards.

Kurumi

Draw two cards, then shuffle two cards from your hand into your deck.

Ok, now that's that, I got to thinking about these cards in a stall deck, and
how SOME (as in not all) people have some trouble using Oak and Bill in
Stall, me being included....(Maybe I've been playing raindance too long...)

These cards have almost  the same benefits in a stall deck. The only
difference is that you shuffle some cards back so you aren't prone to deck
yourself.

With Professor Utsugi, you get seven cards at the price of almost nothing.
Sure, your hand goes to your deck as a "Gambler" style stall, but the thing
that KILLS with this card is you can't use any trainers you might have been
hoping to find. This in my opinion is what makes this card an iffy choice,
but still there.

Kurumi, however has all of Bill's stuff with "Gambler" stall too. Example....
let's say you use a Kurumi in the middle of a match, and well, you get two
cards which in the current situation, stink (like getting magikarp in the
middle phase of playing raindance when you have gyarados and the gang ready)
you can just shuffle those two cards back in again, making Kurumi much more
than just a gamble like Professor Oak or Utsugi.


Well, I hope this is good enough for my first "send in"....
