People, people, people! Come on! I mean, you have to be creative enough to find out the key to my challenge "more than 2 stage 2" lines. Obviously, you think it's impossible, so I'll show you how.
 
THREE and only THREE people informed me of some 2+ stage 2 decks. These people know how to do it. One of them, Noah Weiss/Game Show Guy you may recognize from the killer deck reports; he had Flower Fields. Now, how did that deck get on the killer deck repports unless it was good?!?!?!?
James Finkle sent me this one:
 
Pokémon 21 
3 Dratini
3 Dark Dragonair
1 Dark Dragonite
3 Squirtle
1 Dark Wartortle
2 Dark Blastiose
3 Totodile
1 Dark Crocanaw
2 Dark Feralitgatr
3 Lapras
Energy (23)
19 Water
4 DCE
Trainers (16)
4 Boss's Way
4 Rocket's Hideout
4 Item Finder
2 Gold Berry
2 Nightly Garbage Run
 
But, no, you just KNOW that a deck like that couldn't survive in a tournament. It might if they (no, not the conspirers on the X-Files, but WotC) banned every other single card, you think. Not so!!! Here's Robodude's deck. It works GREAT at tourneys!!! It even has that (curses be upon it for the rest of its days) Feraligatr that you all love so much and Blastoise too!!! (as you can tell, I'm sort of passionate about this)
    
Pokemon: 19
3     TR Squirtle
2     Wartortle
2     Blastoise
3     Totodidle (Fury swipes)
2     Croconaw (Sweep away)
2     Ferligatr (Riptide)
3     Fossil Omanyte
2     NEO Discovery Omastar

Trainers:  19
3     Mysterious Fossil
2     Fossil Egg
4     Pokemon Breeder
3     Secret Mission
3     Professor Oak
4     Gold Berry

Energy:  22
22   Water
 
Wow, nobody thought of that, did they? 
 
Sigh... Let's see if you can do this one:
 
I would like to be sent a deck that is water that has no:
Blastoise
Feraligatr (riptide)
Lapras (any)
Igglybuff (Gaze)
 
Please, at least try on this one! (note: the deck doesn't have to ONLY be water; it can be water/fighting whatever) (and to rule out some things, I qualify a water deck as having at least 4 water energies and at least 2, not counting the evolutions, water pokemon that have only water energy requirements; this means that say Rocket Squirtle, which can attack without water, doesn't count as one of the qualifying water pokemon, while Fossil Articuno, which can't attack without water does count) Again, here are the guidelines:
 
Water/Water-? deck
 
NO:
Blastoise
Feraligatr (riptide)
Lapras (any)
Igglybuff (Gaze)
 
A Water deck is one that has at least:
4 Water energy (Rainbow doesn't count)
2 Qualifying water pokemon (not counting the evolutions) 
 
A qualifying Water pokemon is one that cannot attack without water energy.
 
Thank you!
