Okay, our next offering for this week is this deck. This, as you can see, is a poison deck. It has a theme! Goody! Not much else to say.

1) Arbok is playable. I would exhort you, though, to ditch the Fossil Ekans for its Rocket counterpart. The question is whether to put Beedrill in or not. I don't think it will matter much one way or the other, unless everybody in your area plays mono-fighting, so I'll leave him out. Your Pokemon bear no further mention. It's a poison deck, so I'm assuming those Magmars are Fossil.

2) Split the Bills and Oaks 3/3 instead of 4/2. Add in a 4th ER and dump the Switch and Potions. Computer Search, and PlusPower go in next. If you only have 2 rares in the entire deck, they should be Computer Searches. Item Finders, if you have them, should also go in. Awww, heck with it--I'm gonna tell you what the best would be for the deck, and you do what you can, okay? Since you're running two colors, Energy Retrieval would also be very nice and happy.

3) This deck doesn't use much energy at all, so what you've got should be sufficient.

Good deck. If energy seems a bit low, try dropping fire to 9 for another Retrieval. Other than that, you should be set to go now.
