I don't know about all you other people out there, but I am tired of seeing
decks that look like this: (Same letter=same evolution line)
2 Basic A
1 Stage1 A
1 Stage2 A
3 Basic B
2 Stage1 B
1 Stage2 B
2 Basic C
1 Stage1 C
1 Basic D
1 Stage1 D
3 Basic E
1 Stage1 E
2 Stage2 E
1 Basic F
1 Basic G
1 Basic H
1 Basic I
1 Trainer A
1 Trainer B
1 Trainer C
1 Trainer D
1 Trainer E
30 Basic Energy
If that's not bad enough, consider that I see plenty of 12+ year old kids
doing that IN THEIR TOURNAMENT DECKS! I would like to have slightly better
competition than that, so I am going to attempt to do something about it. Here
are a few basic deck plans.
