VULPIX: Hehehehe. It's the classic Blastoise/Venusaur/Charizard deck. We may have to stop bashing these, because they blur into each other after a while. This one is interesting in that it runs no fire energy and uses Breeders to "help" get the evolutions out.

Since talking about the Pokemon would be redundant, boring, and no doubt pointless, let's skip right ahead to the trainers. First of all notice that this guy wants card advantage (witness the Bills) but he runs no oaks nor any method of searching for anything besides Pokemon or Energy. (Of course, since he doesn't have anything else worth searching for...) And to get energy, he uses... Gamblers. Gee, now there's a nify idea. Shuffle your hand back into your deck, then stake your card advantage and quite possibly the entire game on a coin flip. Energy Search? Make me laugh... why not just put more energy, or better yet, CARD DRAWING into the deck?

There's just nothing more we can say. Spike, I think we need to start passing over cliched bad decks like this and focus on the truly insane, disturbing ones.

SPIKE: I agree. For now--begone!
