Subject: Deck fix from Jeremy
Borchardt "Burn up."
Hey, I'm sending in my deck because I just got back
from a Books-a-Million thing and I didn't win once. I noticed that I get a lot
of bad hands so I need a lot of cards that many different uses. I put in all my
strategies so you could improve them and take out the bad strategies. I do good
when I fight against slowking & rockets zapdos but rockets mewtwo is a
problem (sometimes). Gatr isn't popular in my area, neither is sneasle. Blaines
Arcanine and decks with 56 psychic energies and 4 base mewtwos are my worst
enemies. I call my deck "Burn up."
My averaged win rate is about 2/3 (not
counting today).

-------------------------------------------
Well, I have
loved playing Typhlosion for a few months now its on of the best standard decks
out there right now.
Pokemon
Now you have some good ideas
but that only gets us so far if we want it to work well we have to drop some
stuff. The Entei will be first up again its a great idea but we can do better,
next the Elekid is not really needed and finally the Chanceys have to go. Now
lets get this Typhlosion line up to its full potential a 4/3/3 line should work
well the extra Cyndaquil and Quilava will help get it out better. Now the
Clafable + Pokemon Breeder thing didn't work out so We have to adjust this line
to 2/2. Now lets add a Tyrogue to hit Colorless Pokemon Clafable, Wigglytuff,
Chancey. Now every Typhlosion deck in standard should be playing at least one
Fossil Moltress! Its Wildfire attack will win alot of games that have gone down
to the last few cards because you can just discard there last few cards. This
card has won me so many games its not funny.
Trainers
Well,
this is where I always find the biggest problems, this isn't to bad but it still
needs an overhaul. Draw Power should be 3 Oak and 3 Elm It seem to be a great
number it works in most evolving decks. Drop the Bills. Cut the Time Capsules
down to one. Search power...... wait its missing from this deck! 3 Computer
Searches should do. Now to add these I have to cut down the energy but that
should still be fine. Lass 3 its so good with Eeeeeeek that its a must in most
decks now. Now Energy Removals lets up this a bit 3 Energy Removals and 3 Super
Energy Removals should do the trick, The supers can be comboed with the
Typhlosion Recharge power. and toss it in 2 Pokemon Towers so you can remove
there Recycle Energy and it will stay in there discard pile. Heres a few quick
fixes -1 Pokemon Breeder -1 Gold Berry -1 Gust of
Wind.
Energy
I had to add a lot to the trainers so it came
out of here but this is still plenty. Drop down to 14 Fire, drop the Recycle the
Pokemon Tower Kills it, and the DCE is not needed. now it can be played with as
low as 11 fire but it can get risky then. Now you said Mulligan Mewtwo decks are
giving you trouble??? Here is a simple way to beat them place a Cleffa up front
then they have to flip to attack, then you can kill them with a Typhlosion in
one hit. Energy removals will kill it also. Blaine's Arcanines should be easy to
kill with the Clefables, and the Energy Removals make it hard to keep energy on
them.
