Hey Spike!
Hey Vulpix!

How's my favorite deck mech and pokemon? (i seriously
like vulpix, meowth/persian, and butterfree as my fav
pokes)
I'm great! I dropped a bunch of my cards on the floor
yesterday and noticed something sweet...

I looked down and what did i see? Persian, for one,
and then i saw Golbat. Now i have seen people use the
Golbats b4, but i have never tried it. I then saw
something sweet though... It was cool, and the gears
started turnin in my head. Look at Persian (u know i
loveim) and Golbat. Look towards the bottom of the
cards a sec.

Persian
Psychic restistant
Weak to Fighting
Free retreat

Golbat
Fighting resistant
Weak to Psy
Free retreat

hmm....

Both also have a colorless attack, and scyther would
go nicely with them.
With some DCE of course
Well they are two of the most compatible pokemon i can
think of now, according to strength and weakness...
I thought up a deck a little bit ago based on these
two, and good basics (of course =)

Well here it is

16 Pokemon
12 Basics

3 Zubat
2 Golbat
3 Meowth
2 Persian
3 Scyther
3 Kangaskahn (stall and draw cards) (thought about
Licki but, i figured fetch is best suited for this)

23 Trainers

3 Bill
3 Oak
4 ER
3 GOW
2 Item Finders
2 Mr. Fuji (goes great with all the free retreats)
2 Energy Retrieval (make up for the 21 energy count =)

2 Scoop up (drag kangaskahns carcass out of there when
his good has been used up)
2 Computer Search

21 Energy
(make up for it with retrievals a bit)

17 Grass Energy
4 Double Colorless Energy

Oh and BTW the strategy is to use all the advantages
this deck has (and there ARE alot) to win!

Someone once told me that your strategy should be able
to fit into one sentence, and i have been using that
since... LoL

Well Enjoy
Hope Vulpix and u like it! I put some work into it

P.S. (Oh and all u Wiggly fans, Wiggly would fit in
here too, but wiggly has a retreat cost, and a rather
large one at that, and i like persian alot, so don't
automatically think wiggly would fit better into this)

You're right--this deck has a pretty good theme. I
once played this guy who pissed the hell out of me
with his stupid free retreat costs. He had Butterfree
and Venomoth and Scyther...God knows what else. If
you're out there, you know who you are, and my Nido
deck can still mop the floor with you :-)

1) Normally, I don't think Golbat is one of the
sharpest cards around. Let's compare it to Scyther.
Let's see...you get 10 less HP, an extra stage, a
crappy basic form, no Swords Dance...plus a weakness
that is probably more common than fire right now. All
in all, I give it a clean miss. But with Persian,
perhaps you've got something going. I assume you don't
have any trouble matching your basics and evolutions
together... I think I'll leave it just as is. The one
problem I can see is that both of your evolution
families have hideous basics. But with 6 good basics,
you should be able to make up for that to some degree.

2) Your trainers are also great. If you had wanted to
boost anything to 4-3, here would be the place to make
room. You could cut a GOW and an Oak. You could also
rely entirely on Fuji instead of Scoop, or vice versa.
But I really don't have that much to say.

3) 21 energy isn't bad. Too bad you can't Retrieval
DCE, but that's the breaks. With 3 Oaks, free retreat
costs, and plenty of colorless attacking, you
shouldn't have too much trouble. Just remember to use
common sense with regard to DCE (i.e., don't slap it
on a Kanga first turn and expect your opponent not to
remove it.)

I'm not going to provide a new listing.
Congratulations. There is NOTHING that *needs* to be
changed. Plenty of stuff that could be experimented
with, but what deck doesn't have stuff like that. And
it was a good call not to fit Wiggly. Not bad, but he
wouldn't have fit the theme at all. Persian is
great--sort of like Rapidash with a slightly worse
attack, but hey, it's colorless, you can't complain.

A pleasure to fix this one.
