Swords Dance

Hello Mercury, I need help with my new deck. It's called "Swords Dance" The strategy is after the deck list. Pokemon-11 4x Scyther 4x Movie Mewtwo 3x Mr. Mime Trainers-28 4x Bill 3x Pro. Oak 2x Computer Search 2x Energy Retrieval 4x Energy Removal 3x Gust of Wind 3x PlusPower 2x Lass 2x Item Finder 3x Scoop Up Energy-21 12x Psychic Energy 5x Grass Energy 4x DCE Now the goal of this deck is to Swords Dance on the first turn then do 60 damage on turn 2. Bills, Oaks, and Computer Searches make this happen. After you are done Oaking you should have at least 2 Psychic Energy in your Discard Pile so you can absorb with Mewtwo after you use Scyther. The other goal of this deck is to Lass on turn two. You can Computer Search for it if you didn't use it in getting Scyther pumped or Item Finder for it if you Oaked it away. When your opponent tries to bring out your big guns on your Mewtwos and Scythers you just Scoop them Up with Scoop Up and bring out Mr. Mime to stop them. The Gust of Winds are for geting the weak Pokemon out and destroy them or you can bring out the Monsters on your opponents bench and K.O. them with Mr. Mime. Well that's all. Thanx and good luck with your new garage!

Man, I'm going to be honest, I had a lot of trouble finding something to change in this deck! Actually, truth be known, it's similar to a deck I play. Anyway, let's get on to the rare fixes I had to make! Pokemon. The only problem I can find here is that you have 4 Mewtwos and 3 Mr. Mime, both of which are pretty bad starting pokemon. So, remove one of each, and add 2 colorless in their place. I recommend Chansey, because of his double-edge finish and stalling abilities, or Ditto, who can copy the defending pokemon but allow you to gain the upper hand with your DCE (actually, Ditto's a better starter, because he'll always be equal to their starting pokemon, while Chansey might be weak). Trainers. This section was even tougher than the last! The only thing I don't like is that you don't have any Super Energy Removals, but I can't honestly think of something that you could take out for those. You might, if you wanted, take out a Bill and a Scoop Up in favor of 2 Super Energy Removals, but I have no problem with the trainers as they are now. Energy. Can this get any harder? Although I feel badly about it, I'm going to have to say that I can't change a thing in this department (dang, I love correcting people ;-) ). Just for clarification on the deck (I didn't change much, but it doesn't hurt to restate): 11 4 3 2 2 28 4 3 2 2 4 3 3 2 2 3 21 12 5 4 Pokemon: Scyther Movie Promo Mewtwo Mr. Mime Ditto OR Chansey Trainers: Bill Professor Oak Computer Search Energy Retrieval Energy Removal Gust of Wind Plus Power Lass Item Finder Scoop Up Energy: Psychic Energy Grass Energy DCE Well, sheesh, I haven't had so little work in a long time! Hey, I could get used to this...:-) ~Mercury
