STS Steelix


   Hi Ness, I heard you're going to the East Coast Super Trainer Showdown, so maybe you can help me with my deck for it, cause you made top 8 in the last one, didn't you?

Well, I can't deny that Steelix is a force to be reckoned with in this environment, HOWEVER, you're gonna waste 3 days of my life trying to fix this thing.

Okay, first of all, Mewtwo is stupid, it's ugly, it's had it's 15 minutes of fame, and it's done.  You send it out against a Cleffa and TRY to absorb, then they drop the Slowkings or Dark Vileplume and Mean Look it, then you lose.  "Hang in there, Mewtwo.."

Seriously that card is so done it's not even funny.  Whether it's standard, neo on, I don't care, it's done, it's dead, and it's dead again.

Then as for Steelix why don't we try to play 4 Steelixes, and 4 Onix..  4 Onix.. 4 Steelix.. no searching ability.. makes sense, doesn't  it?

Skarmory is so stupid and all coin flips, but we'll leave it because I don't think it is THAT bad with no removals...

Then, as for the Mewtwos that are long gone, replace them with 3 Rocket's Zapdos.  (Yay! Works good with metal energy AND gold berry, it's a win/win situation!)

Then, you add the Clefairy. YES, the Clefairy. Evolve Cleffa and retreat if you get Mean Looked.  YES, the CLEFAIRY.

--Trainers--
Oh my, this is so pathetic.  Just scrap them all and start over.

Yes, it's that bad.

First of all, 4 Elm, and 3 Gold Berry(not 4).  

Then you need 2 Lt. Surge as your pathetic Switch and anti Muuuuuurkrow! (Stupid bird is like "bleh" and it throws up on you!)

Also, 2 Misty's Wrath and 2 Secret Mission as your card drawer. (both nice with zapdos's plasma) You can keep 1 Chaos Gym.. and last, but not least, 2 Double Gust, a tricky, but good card.

Focus Band is fun with Cleffa, add 2.  

And 2 Master Ball to get that darn Steeeeeeeeelix!

--Trainers--
Room for a lot, and we only got 2 types.. so we'll add a lot of non basic energy.  I say 12 lightning, of course 4 metal, 2 recycle, full heal and potion, too.
