Hey all you PoJo people, the extremely inactive GrayFox back with some of
his useless...er....great articles. Here's a new archetype IDEA (as in, don't
bash me if it isn't good^_~), that may look like some kind of twisted
"iNsAniTy" (yeah, thats not how you do it, but IMO, it looks better^_^), but
is unique in its own different way. Here's my new Archetype idea, the deck
called The "Ironic Shock".

Translation: [Thanks to KiTTyFoX for this translation^_^]

Name:        Lt. Surge's Electabuzz
Type:        Basic Pokemon
Card #:      card 6/132
Rarity:      Rare - Holo
Color:       Lightning
HP:          70 HP
Weakness:    F
Resistance:  none
Retreat:     2
Pokemon #:   125
Species:     Electric
Level:       28
Attack:      [L]  Charge
             Take up to 2 L Energy cards from your discard pile and attach
them
             to Lt. Surge's Electabuzz
Attack:      [L]  Discharge  (30x)
             Discard all L Energy cards attach to Lt. Surge's Electabuzz in
             order to use this attack.  Flip a number of coins equal to the
             number of L Energy cards you discarded.  This attack does 30
             damage times the number of heads.


Pokemon: 7
4x Lt. Surge's Electabuzz
3x Movie Mewtwo Promo

Trainers: 35
3x Bill
4x Oak
4x Energy Flow
4x Computer Search
4x Item Finder
3x Gust of Wind
3x PlusPower
4x Scoop Up
3x RSA
3x Energy Removal

Energy: 18
6x Psychic
12x Lightning

This deck pretty much works as a Sponge, using Lt. Surge's Electabuzz as the
main hitter, hitting 90-120 on turn 2. If there are any lurking Hitmonchans,
in comes Mewtwo to defend Electabuzz. Electabuzz gets around Ground types
easily, and even if I can't get Electabuzz powered up, I can use Mewtwo as a
secondary attacker.

The reason for the low amount of Bills, PlusPower, and Energy Removal is
because of this:
I prefer Professor Oaks over than Bills, who doesn't? Bills are just support
Trainers that add to the Oak.
PlusPower was only included to get around 70 hp Pokemon that come up vs.
Electabuzz
Energy Removal, although a great card, wouldn't be needed as much if I'm
lucky enough to ko each pokemon with no trouble. Well, most Turbo Wigglies
don't play Energy Removal at all =P.

I pretty much think Mass Dittos can stop this deck effectively. Unless I can
get the first shot off with Mewtwo or Buzz, Ditto poses somewhat of a threat
to this deck.

Scoop Up + Energy Flow is a great way to conserve Electabuzz's much needed
energy. RSA is just there for disruption, and you should know the rest.

Also, I haven't seen any deck like this around...and if this was already
made by someone earlier, it'd be nice if you'd tell me, I don't want to go
around looking like some Archetype idea stealer here =X.

I Would appreciate ANY comments about this, as it would help me a lot =P. I
have YET to playtest this deck, but I need the public's side of view before I
actually endure hours of playtesting (maybe a better name would be helpful
too=X).
