This deck took about two weeks to build(mainly because all I needed was
Murkrows).
The games take a while, but it's fun to watch your opponents suffer.

I REALLY think that to many people underestimate the true potential of
Murkrow.
Now on to the matches. NOTE:This was a Pokemon League
event.
Game 1:team match,me and Chris playing koga challenge grass deck vs.
D.R.Playing
Giovanni deck and a kid playing electric/fire/water potpourri
I started out OK with a Cleffa, Gligar, Computer Search,and dark energy.I
started by searching for Murkrow and Putting a dark on him and Mean Looked
their Pinsir
and Zapdos.Then I started to pick off at their benches until D.R. figured
out that he had to kill Murkrow to win.Then they made a major comeback
with G. Nidoking and Charizard.Then I killed Nidoking with Gengar and Chris
killed Charizard with Heracross.That left each team at 1 prize.D.R.sent up
a R. Scyther against Gligar and Erika's Gloom.We should have lost right
there but he stupidly attacked Gloom. Then I retreated for Gengar and Dark
Minded him follow by Gloom's Magic Pollen for the win.
Game 2:me vs. Jabril with electric/psychic deck
This one was easy. He started with some electric crap and an Unown while I
had a Cleffa, Murkrow, dark energy, and gust of wind.I brought in Unown and
Mean Looked it.Then I picked off his weak benched pokemon for the win.
Game 3:me vs. Judy playing psychic deck
I started with a Cleffa and a bunch of energy while she had Mr. Mime and
Scyther. I eeeeeeeked for Murkrow, Gligar,and dark energy. Next turn I mean
looked Mime. Then I killed the bench until she forfeited.
Game 4:me vs. Ludwig with water/grass deck
I started with Murkrow and some dark energy. I started by killing
Quagsire.Then I killed his energyless oddish and exeggcute.
4-0 is pretty good for a deck based on a card that "sucks".
