Hey Pojo I have a great Killer Deck for you, its a Stall deck called
Wild Stall.This deck is great and so far I'm doing well with it!This deck
is a Colorless deck with three fire Pokemon in it.I used Colorless
because most Colorless Pokemon have resistance to either Psychic or
Fighting and they also have high HP making them hard to K.O.The three
fire Pokemon are used to disrupt my opoents strategy and also to eat away
their deck.Enough chat here is the deck!
Wild Stall:

Pokemon:
1 Moltres
2 (Fossil) Magmar
2 Kangaskhan
2 Tauros
2 Farfetch'd
2 Dodrio
3 Doduo

Trainers:
1 Pokemon Center
1 Defender
2 Energy Retrieval
2 Pokedex
1 Super Potion
1 Imposter Professor Oak
1 Scoop Up
1 Computer Search
3 Gust of Wind
3 Energy Removal
2 Switch
3 Potion
2 Poke Ball

Energy:
21 Fire Energy

Strategy:
Use Kangaskhan, Tauros, and (Fossil) Magmar to stall until you get
Moltres.Then use Wildfire to leave your opoent with almost no draw
pile.If Moltres is taking heavy damage use all the healing Trainers in 
this deck to keep him and all the other Pokemon from being K.O.'ed.This
can work well but only if you use this strategy.

Now the matches!

Match 1 vs.
Mono-Grass Deck
This was the only match in the tourament were I didn't use the stall
startegy.I started with Doduo on my bench and (Fossil) Magmar active.He
started with Bellsprout active and Bulbasaur on his bench.I won the
flip.My hand was 3 Fire Energy and asorted Trainers.I put an Energy on
Magmar and Smokescreened.He slapped an Energy on Bulbasaur and I added an
energy to Magmar used Smog and K.O.'ed his Bellsprout.He sent out
Bulbasaur drew a Scyther and put it on his bench.He added an energy to
Bulbasaur then used Pokemon Breeder and made his Bulbasaur a Venusaur and
Energy Trans and Energy to Scyther.After about 5 turns I took down his
Venusaur and he sent out his only basic, poor old Scyther.Now by this
time I had a full powered Moltres on my bench.He Slashed me so I
retreated Magmar and sent out Moltres used Dive Bomb and fliped heads!I
won!
1-0

Match 2 vs.
Alakazam Stall Deck
Well he started with (Fossil) Gastly out and Abra on his bench.I won the
flip and started with a lone Tauros.I drew a Magmar and put it on my
bench then added and energy to Tauros.He used Lick with no damage OR
Parazlying.After a couple turns I knocked him out and my opent drew no
basic this whole time so after 2 more turns I K.O.'ed his Abra and won!
2-0

Match 3 vs.
Psychic/Fire Deck
This match was the standard stall deck match.It lasted about 40 turns.I
got Moltres early and put everything on him and used Wildfire until my
opoent "decked" himself!
3-0

Match 4 vs.
Electric/Water Deck
I had not faced an Electric/Water Deck for awhile so I was a bit rusty.He
started with Eevee and Voltorb on his bench and Staryu active.I thought
this kid was nuts playing the Staryu, Starmie!Anyway I had Doduo out and
Kangaskhan benched.He won the flip and Slapped me with his staryu.I used
Fury Attack and flipped two heads.He Slapped again so I potion Doduo and
retreated him.I sent out Kangaskhan and stalled for what seemed like
forever until I got Moltres we each only had about five cards left in our
draw piles so I Wildfired and "decked" him!
4-0

Match 5 vs.
Mr.Mime/Gengar Deck
This was a VERY quick match.It litterly lasted only two turns.I got
Magmar out and he had Mr.Mime.I won the flip I Smokescreened and he added
an energy I Smoged and Poisoned him.He fainted from Poison on my opoents
turn!
5-0
