Just one each of each Pokemon? You need to figure out which Pokemon you want to use and get multiple copies of them into this deck and take out the rest of the Pokemon you don't want in this deck. Otherwise you'll be stuck with the wrong Pokemon in your hand all the time.

With the expection of the Gen 5 Fire types (exlcuding Reshiram and Victini) I have only one of each in my entire collection. I only have more of the Gen 5 because I got a starter deck and a booster pack (Victini came in the booster pack) yestartday. The rest I descarded the extras over the years.

The issue, as donavannj says, is that you will consistently end up with evolution cards in your hand that you have no hope of ever playing since you only have one copy of each of their previous forms. The situation isn't helped by the lack of a strong deck-searching section of cards to help find those cards you DO need. In a competitive sense the deck will be too slow to set up against any of the made-for-competition decks. However, that doesn't mean it can't be played with for fun!

Then it should do nicely against my brother, who couldn't tell the differnce between a Magikarp and a Feebas if you put name cards on them. His deck is even worse then mine, he only has Steel and lighting energy and he also has the same Reshiram as me.

Like previous people said, you need more of each 'mon.

Well can someone show me what their deck looks like so I can get sense how much of what is needed?

could you elaborate, and say what set each pokemon is from? otherwise your lists are basically meaningless... sorry

 

[donavannj]

Consistency is getting better in this list.

Also, count all Potion cards as healing 30 HP, since that's what the rules say to treat them as now.

What good does that Delta Rainbow Energy do for you if your only Delta Species Pokemon (that I can see according to your list) is Deoxys?

My first deck has cards from varisous sets and I don't know which came from which. My second Deck mostly contains cards from Noble Victories.

Also, count all Potion cards as healing 30 HP, since that's what the rules say to treat them as now.

I said I was collector for quite a few years so I have quite a few potions that say remove 2 counters. As for the energy card.... *shrugs*

 

[donavannj]

I'm just telling you that you could treat them all as healing 3 now for consistency's sake. Since the newest ruleset is pretty much the only ruleset that covers some of the mechanics your newer cards use.
