OIC. Okay let's write something Tyler writes.

Are you playing Magic or Pokemon? 22 Energy is far too little. Nice mix of
Pokemon, but how many time do you think you are going to evolve any. You've
gotta try harder, remove lousier type of Pokemon and concentrate on the
others. Ever played "Happy Family" before, the chances of you getting a
Blastoise into play is as little as you might strike lottery. 

The stage evolution ratio should be 4:3:2 my dear me. This is something any
kid will know. Put in 4 of the Basic and you can put one into play as soon
as you draw one. Suppose you throw in 4 of each stage and turns out that
you have the 1st and 2nd stage without the Basic. Your opponent jeers while
drawing another 2 cards.

It's mono blue. It's about RainDance. Suppose your Blastoise gets clogged
up in one of your prizes. You'll have to knock out at least 1 or 2 Pokemon
and by the time you do so, your opponent's got a Raichu or Magneton in
play. That's sound stupid.

And for the trainers, I won't suggest they are of a good one except for the
Bills and Oak whom everyone knows. What use is one of each trainer? 4
Retrievals are really dumb lest you end up discarding your other cards and
so is the PlusPowers. Go check up any Blastiose Deck in the decks section.
Not one has Energy Removal, Defenders or PLUSPOWERS.

I really don't get the point of this deck, it sucked overall. Here's your
verdict. Change your deck.
(All criteria upon 10)

Deck Concept		0/10	Totally. Out of the point(Does not fit Blastoise Theme) 
Pokemon Choices	2/10	Too wide variety, hard to evolve.
Trainer Choices		4/10	At least there are the card drawing mechanisms.
Winning Odds			At the most 1 wins in 20 games. I wonder how you got 2nd.

Total			6/30-----20%
