What if I say my deck is not like the others? Thats because it runs holon cards and ex's. O.K. its probable the worst deck on the internet. So it needs lots of help

3 Celebi
1 Castform (soon to be another celebi)
3 Treecko GE
2 Grovyle 1 cg delta 1 ge
3 Sceptile ge
3 Dratini df
2 Dragonair df
3 Dragonite ex df
1 Mew *

2 Holon Mentor
4 POV
3 Roseanne's
1 Copycat
1 warp piont
1 switch
1 night Maintenance
4 Rare Candy
3 Bebe ( is Celio's better) I have ex's so maybe not.
3 Crystal Beach

12 mint leaves
1 holon energy GL anti special conditions
3 Delta Rainbow in case Mew* or Grovyle have to attack.

Hope for the Celebi start. Then get busy with set up Get busy with having fun at States. Hope for the best. Wonder why I lost so many games. What to do , What to do.,...

I would drop the holon GL becuase it doesn't work on ex's for 2 delta rainbow (or Multi) good deck though (at least it's new)

OK. If you are going to play Sceptile, you have to put in at least 1 of the Energy Trans ones! Being able to Dragon roar for 2 G is just nice and can work in your favor! NTM you can retreat for 1 G since it counts as 2. I tossed in Mew*d for Your Tech card. If you start with it, you can abuse the Delta Rainbow Energy to hit Magmortar, CFF from Pachi, or just disrupt. So it isn’t a bad starter or follow up hitter!!

The new Tools do not have the irritating can not be attached to an EX text so either toss in Amulet Coin for extra Draw or Leftovers since they can’t be Windstormed after Deafen. That is a throw together list just from the top of my head. I am concerned on how much actual draw you have so you might need to look into that!

Deck

I don't really like castform as a starter in this deck. Maybe try furret or Mawile for Rare Candy's.

Also, is your title from the Foo Fighters "Pretender"? That song is amazing....
 
it only needs one buffer piece he was just saying have 2 in your deck. celebi* if also a pretty good star card.. although mew* does go pretty good with the castyforms
 
yeah Great Name - What if i say im not like the others is a qoute from the Foo Fightiers song The Pretender
Great name choive

however i have no comments on the deck
 
i think celebi MT would be a pretty good starter because it provides a lot faster energy manipulation then a stage 2 pop sceptile.
 
For the fans that remember I am thinking of using mentos as damage counters. Big Me

Has the Sceptile pop 4 been released in foil ? I don't have any pop4 so I was hoping on traveling to target to buy one.

Thanks Rin I will test it both ways.

Back to back posts merged. The following information has been added:

I teched in the Mew* and it has been a game breaker. Will be taking out the Holon castform to see how well it plays. I l;ike the Castform start cause once I get cards in the hand this deck can go. Without draw its nowhere.

I have replaced the Castforms with Celebi for now. Might take out those for nothing. Treeko is now from GE. Didn't get to play it Sunday since I could only find 59 cards and sleeves with a few proxies that I did not have time to change. I hear there is a real good article over at Top Cut.

you dont really need celebi. with sceppy, dragonites attack cost is low enough and celebi kinda loses some consistency. try pachi and claydol and see how it works out. anyway, nice deck
 
Big Big Problem , Hugh. As Julia Roberts said in Pretty Woman.

I am having problems with draw. I usually only have two cards in hand. When I add draw I don't draw what I need. With two stage two's I am not sure the new GE Fishing engine will work. Is it worth a try?
 
Add Claydol and Unown G. My biggest problem with this deck is not being able to lock down with deafen and still do enough damage to actually apply enough pressure to my opponent. The Unown G is necessary if you face Gallade or anything that applies conditions when it attacks (like the Poison decks packing Weezing). Dropping at least one Battle Frontier in to lock down Delcatty and Porygon based engines could help quite a bit, as well.
