It's time for the token "Modified Zap Deck" of the
week!

1) First of all, take out Ditto and Electrode.
Electrode is not horrible, but Voltorb is, and we need
the space badly. You shouldn't have both Raichu and
Zapdos, so take out the Zapdos. Make Alakazam a 4-3-2.
Promo Electabuzz is arguably the worst promo card (I
can't figure out why they made a promo Electabuzz for
the movie--Pikachu, Mewtwo and Dragonite all made
sense, but Electabuzz??) so take him out. If you
really want Mewtwo, add another and make them both
movie promos, but forget Basic set Mewtwo--his
usefulness began and ended with the granddaddy of all
cheap stall decks. You need more Raichus, and since
we've got a big fat Stage 2 in there, we should
probably go to 3-2 with Raichu. Make all your Pikachus
at least Jungle, and League Promo if you can get it.
Both Raichu should be fossil.

2) Take out all the trainers. That's right, every last
one. Computer Search is the only good one, but it's
best to just start with a clean slate. Put in the
following:

3-4 Bill
2 Oak
2-3 Computer Search
4 Energy Removal

Do we need Potions and/or Defenders? Not really. The
only Electric Pokemon left that stands even a chance
of damaging itself is Electabuzz. So no. We'll put in
a couple of GOWs and Switches, space permitting.
That's all.

3) Having 3 DCE in for Basic Zapdos and Ditto is just
pathetic. Since we've taken both of these out, we have
no further need for DCE. Your energy balance looks
good--add in a couple more electric and maybe another
psychic if you get the chance...

Another idea might be Mr. Mime instead of Mewtwo. But
do as you like. They're both excellent cards (in terms
of ability only, I hate the little mime, he looks
stupid and he's annoying as hell.) Anyway, the Zap
deck is a hard one to make work effectively (and don't
try to tell me that this isn't a modified Zap) but
this seems like a good enough deck...It's got good
trainers, good Pokemon...When I bash the Zap deck, I
don't say that it's impossible to make it good, but it
requires more time, $$$, and trouble than any other
theme deck. Not worth it IMO, but then I bought
Brushfire and I've never looked back :-)
