This is my first attempt to make a deck being that I was introduced to Pokemon just 1 month ago. This deck has gone through many changes including several name changes. I first started when I got my first Charizard, and I wanted a mono fire deck, after testing it, it was lacking basic pokemons, and of course extremely weak to a good water deck, I then re-organized and took out an exra charizard to save energy. I used it in my first tourney last sunday (5/23/99) and goot 1st place! (and won 15 free booster and a gift certificate, i'm saveing the booster coupon for when the expansion come out, i'm more of a collector than player since i have all cards except Alakazam and Venusaur.) There were 22 entries and DCI approved. I traded a few cards before the tourney began so I was able to improve the deck in a few minutes. Below is Black Acid (I think the name is right for the deck cause it burns like acid, quick and painful, plus it's watery :) corny, i know.) Black Acid 4 double colorless energy 9 water energy 13 fire energy 1 porygon 2 doduo 2 dratini 1 dragonair 3 squirtle 2 wartortle 1 blastoise 2 magmar 3 charmander 2 charmeleon 1 charizard 1 professor oak 1 pokemon breeder 1 pokemon trader 1 clefairy doll 2 bill 2 potion 2 energy retrieval 1 full heal 2 gust of wind 1 super energy removal the tourney was at Attactix in Aurora, Colorado please send comments etc to Danna06@go.com two key cards are gust of wind (easy kills) and clefairy dolls (waste energy) I was lucky because I used clefairy doll against a chansey, and of course no one will kill a clefairy doll and do 80 damage to oneself, it's sucide, my oppenent said so, and he was out of energy already because of my Dragaonair!, it gave a couple of turns to build up Blastoise and Charizard.
