VULPIX: Help your deck? Buddy, the fastest way for me to help your deck would be
to transform it into a pile of ashes with my trademark fiery breath. That way,
you can do it over and hopefully do it right this time. I don't know where you
got the idea that having proper evolution pyramids is wrong, but you certainly
seem to have taken this misconcieved notion to its extreme. Actually, there's
one place where it probably helps--Aerodactyl. By running him only 1-1, you've
ensured that you'll almost never get him out before your other evolutions have
hit the board, assuming THEY ever do.
Oh, and you run the ultimate card drawing engine... POKEDEX. I'm sorry, but I
simply don't believe you have nothing better than this. Bill is a common, for
God's sake. Your trainers would seem to indicate that you have bought a total of
approximately eight boosters-- five Base, two Jungle, and one Fossil. That's
just a guess, but it's based upon actual math. The real mystery is where you got
all the energy. I'd conjecture that you bought the Overgrowth theme deck, but
that deck had some intelligent evolution ratios here and there, and as such this
deck represents a significant step downhill--not what you want.
I'm sorry. This deck just blows. You have obviously been making a concerted
effort to turn out decks of such poor caliber. I can't understand why, but the
alternative (that you managed to miss the reams of deckbuilding advice and
strategy out there WITHOUT some sort of conscious effort) is even more
impossible. I can buy the Zap deck and produce something better than this. Hell,
I can go out to eat at Taco Hut's "Burrito Night" and produce
something better than this.
I think that about sums it up.
SPIKE: Okay, here's where I try to throw the hapless bashee a bit of hope for
the future. Good job on the bash, though, Vulpix. [scratches Vulpix behind the
ears] Anyway... fella, this is going to be hard. You've got to narrow your theme
considerably. Water/Grass is not a bad combination, but you're gonna have to
slash it down to two evolution families, with only one being a Stage 2. Improve
your evolution pyramids, and include strong basics. And your trainers definitely
could stand to be consolidated. Look at some of the decks on my garage for some
helpful (hopefully) points.
