I haven't played for 2 years, and I'm just starting again. This is an idea for a modified deck so suggestions must be within the current modified format. I want some feedback on better structures and better alternatives to the cards I list. Here's the list:
Pokemon; total: 21
3 Infernape (Diamond and Pearl #5)
4 Monferno (Diamon and Pearl #56)
4 Chimchar (Diamond and Pearl #76)
2 Infernape LV.X (Diamond and Pearl #121)
4 Stantler (D&P Secret Wonders #113)
4 Heracross (Dragon Frontiers #3)
Trainers; total: 20
4 Energy Restore (Diamond and Pearl #106)
4 Energy Switch (Diamond and Pearl #107)
4 PlusPower (Diamond and Pearl #109)
4 Pokedex Handy910is (Diamond and Pearl #111)
4 Energy Search (Diamond and Pearl #117)
I figured this would give me room for:
19 Fire Energy
Grand total: 60 (obviously)
Strategy is: This deck revolves around the Infernape LV.X as well as the normal Infernape. I added the energy search to quickly get my energy out and on Infernape, who does a lot of discarding of energy, which is where energy restore comes in. I added Energy Switches to quickly reuse the energy of my starters (Stantler and Heracross) on Infernape (and its earlier evolutions). The special thing about the Heracross is that it's a Delta version making it of the fire type, making it good to prepare the Infernape. I like the Heracross' Poke-body (for when it's the only pokemon out) and it's Dig Deep attack to get energy out of the discard pile. I also like Infernape LV.X's Poke-Power to 8 energies out (if there is any) so I can re-equip it and do 150 damage at the same time. The PlusPowers (which I'm surprised they remade it) will add extra punch to particular attacks so I can get clean KOs with some of the weaker pokemon. The Pokedex Handy910is will give me a little boost in draw power.
Is there any suggestions for better choices?
Thanks,
Ben
