We all have them(well most of us). And we
all have no use for them. They are uncommons and commons. Yup, the
so called "worst cards I own". However, they are really good.
Example: You only have 2 Gyarados, but you need 4 for your deck. Well
look no further than your shoebox of uncommons and commons. You just
happen to have 5 Seels and 5 Dewgongs. They replace Gyarados easlily.
I'm not trying to say that you can replace your Computer Searches for
Pokeballs and your Item Finders for Recycles. Its just that some
common/uncommon cards can replace those holofoil or rare cards until you can
get those holo or rare cards. Haymakers go real good with Machop and
Stall decks go good with Lickitung. Keep those cheap cards in your deck
until you find your way towards bigger and better things. Nothing
replaces a Blastoise or a Venusaur, so you just have to stop going to
tournaments and use proxie cards against your friends until you can con your
parents or granparents(who just started collecting and think that vulpix looks
a lot cuter than blastoise) out of those cards that you never dreamed of
pulling out of your first five or so packs. That is another story
though. But remember...you can still have a deck without those 3
Chanseys you need, just use Lickitungs to hold their place for a couple weeks
;)
