OK, some of the articles on this site have just gotten stupider and
stupider.  For instance, players comparing Charizard to Chansey.  Hello,
they are two separate cards, that do two different things.  Chansey is a
stalling card, and can be helpful when trying to build up to stage one and
two cards, and then you can kill him off along with one or two of your
opponents cards and make way for your powerful cards.  I thank any person
that comes to the conclusion that in one situation, card a may be better
than card b, but in another situation, card b might be the better card.
    Also, the only "killer" decks you've been posting have gotten sucky.
People don't seem to realize that they should stick to one theme.  For
instance trying to combine more than one stage two card doesn't work.  If
you are building a Charizard deck, build it around Charizard, and add lots
of fire energy and stallers like Chansey.  If you are building a haymaker
deck, don't use anything but basics.  Also, never, ever use more than two
colors, or you will have the wrong cards with the wrong energy, and you'll
lose horribly.
    Last of all, there is no god of all cards.  If you think that some card
rules everything, think again.  Don't praise Charizard.  Think about it, he
could be beaten by a Staryu.  Chansey could be beaten by a Diglett.  Every
card is weak to something, but in certain situations they can be good, if
the deck is built properly so they can fit in.

Thanx,
