*BEEEP!! BEEEP!!*

Kyle’s jolted out of sleep by his alarm clock.  He leaps up, whacks his head and is promptly knocked out.

A few hours later he wakes up without any memory of the past week.  He looks around the room and realizes that he fell asleep in his Deck Garage.  He looks at the deck flashing on the computer monitor.  “Hmmm… Needs some work, I think,” said Kyle.  The deck is horribly built.  It looks like it was thrown together by gorillas, but Kyle knows it’s his job to fix ANY deck and has seen some decks that were thrown together by less competent species, so he begins his fix…

Pokémon: 18

[4] Gastly

[3] Haunter

[4] Drowzee

[3] Hypno

[2] Snorlax

[2] Tyrouge

[4] Sleep!

[3] Professor Oak

[3] Computer Search

[3] Gust of Wind

[3] Rocket’s Sneak Attack

What is this piece of $%#&!?  Seriously, whoever made this deck deserves to be shot.  I assume this deck is some sort of sleep deck *yawn*, but it’s so poorly built that I can’t recognize it.  Time for a tune up.

Pokémon

I can’t believe this.  What kind of sleep deck is this?!  No DARK GENGAR?  I hope I never find out who the idiot that made this deck is.  I bet the Gastly is even the one from Base Set.  Drop the Haunter.  Let’s also lose a Gastly.

- 3 Haunter

- 1 Gastly

Now let’s run 2 Dark Gengar and 1 Dark Haunter.

+ 2 Dark Gengar

+ 1 Dark Haunter

I’m also going to change the main focus of this deck so it’s built around a different attacker, Snorlax from Fire Red/Leaf Green.  This card works even better than Jungle Snorlax because it CAN fall asleep and make good use of its sleep-related attacks.  Let’s change the Snorlax to the FRLG variety and add 1 in exchange for 1 Tyrouge.

-1 Tyrouge

+1 Snorlax (FRLG)

Trainers

Hmm… 2 Rare Candies are definitely needed for the Gengars.  Now that we have a Snorlax that doesn’t cost as much to retreat, we can also run 1 less Briney.

+ 2 Rare Candy

-     1 Mr. Briney’s Compassion

Energy

Now that the focus of this deck is keeping Snorlax asleep, Full Heal Energy is redundant.  Scrap ‘em for another DCE.  In fact scrap 4 Psychic and run 4 DCE and 3 Recycle Energy.

Here’s the final count:

Pokémon: 17

[3] Gastly (Neo Revelations)

[1] Dark Haunter

[2] Dark Gengar

[4] Drowzee (Rocket)

[3] Hypno (FRLG)

[3] Snorlax (FRLG)

[1] Tyrouge

Trainers: 24

[4] Sleep!

[3] Professor Oak

[3] Computer Search

[3] Gust of Wind

[3] Rocket’s Sneak Attack

[2] Rare Candy

[2] Mr. Briney’s Compassion

[2] Switch

[2] Nightly Garbage Run

Energy: 19

[12] Psychic

[4] Double Colorless

[3] Recycle

On second thought, scrap 2 more Psychic.  In their place, add 2 Item Finders.

I hope this deck serves you well.

Regards,

Kyle
