7.13.04 Today, we take a look at
a player who is just about fed up with Blaziken decks! Let's help
him beat ole Bex into oblivion!
"Pokemon (17):
4 Spheal
2 Sealeo
4 Walrein
2 Lapras ex
2 Castform Water
3 Relicanth
Trainers (26):
3 Briney's Compassion
3 Forest Guardian
2 Island Cave
3 Oracle
3 Professor Oak's Research
2 Town Volunteers
3 Strength sharm
3 Switch
4 Rare Candy
Energy (17):
17 Water
The main idea is to get out Walrein ASAP and start Sheer Colding and
Crush Drawing. Lapras EX and Relicanth allow for some status
support, and Rain Castform is for card drawing.
If you feel another color/pokemon family would be suitable for the
main goal of killing the unholy cheese beast of flame, please feel
free to make any changes.
Good lord, I miss Rain Dance…."
Lol, first off, most Walrein variants are now centered around
Milotic. However, for the sake of this article being interesting, I
won't switch to that. Just take out the cards I note in order to
build that deck, as Walrein variants, despite having huge
differences between one-another, work generally the same.

3 Relicanth"
Hmmm, not too bad. However, in this format, people play lots of
switching cards, and your odds of the initial sleep are 50/50. They
get greater from there, but Relicanth is just a waste of bench space
in the long run. Take him out. Lapras ex, despite being immune to
Blaziken ex's Volcanic Ash, is not a good card to use, really.
Remove him too.
Now, it's time to have a little fun with the Castforms! ^________^

First problem I notice is that, putting it bluntly, your draw engine
is bad. I'll be adding in Stephen's and TV Reporters to make up for
your lack of straight draw. Now, to go with the fun Castform theme,
remove the Island Caves for Magnetic Storms. If you go for Walrein/Milotic,
then remove the Caves for Desert Ruins, since you play no ex
Pokemon. Last of all, Crystal Shard is a must to survive against
Sceptile or Rayquaza.

Energy is fine, so I won't even touch ground there.

Best of luck with the deck! As a quick reminder, if you want to
switch to the Milotic variant:
-6 Castforms
-2 Magnetic Storm
-2 Strength Charm
+3 Desert Ruins
+3 Feebas
+3 Milotic

Best of luck with your Walrein deck!
