well, it looks great, but far as i can figure, u don't have any Focus Bands. i dunno, i think ur deck functions well without it, so it's ok.
can't say there are any changes here. ![[Bounce]](graemlins/jump.gif)

Well,
I chickened out playing my Gengron deck without any testing, and decided to play Unusual Steel Saturday at the DCI tourney. (Yes, I DO actually play in a few. Rocket's Sandshrew sat this one out and was our Head Judge, allowing me to play.)
I went 4-1 in Swiss, losing to a Cookie Gatr deck played by an 11 yr old.(no offense Justin, but ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif) )I TORE through the Dark Muk deck in Swiss that ended up beating me in Top 8 and going on to win the tourney. I couldn't get ANYTHING going in that game. By the time I even saw the first Elm or Cleffa the game was basically over. No Steelix, and an Umbreon trying to tread water and shed poison.
Change being made:
dropping two Breeder. Adding another Kabuto and a forth Trader.
As was the case with my previous incartnation using Dark Vaporeon, opponents were constantly attributing the deck's ability to luck, and outside of that last match, steups were pretty fast considering it limited trainer engine. I have played way too many matches with this kind of three-Evo combo to know it isn't luck. The deck is just that versatile.

I have no idea how this deck does so well. I played this deck in one of our tourneys yesterday, but didn't fare even an inkling as well. 0-4, dropped after round. I could barely get anything running, even with the Breeders and Traders. They helped some, but the energy seemed to be the weak link, that and my mega-poor flipping ability (18 tails in a row on Hydrocutter - go figure). But I've seen you play previous incarnations and it works, and works well.

You might want to keep an eye out on the new set coming up when we make the switch to MMF. There are new pokes with resistance to water. I know the hoppip family has resistance. Grass pokes with water resistance can spell the end for kabutops.
Just a friendly reminder. ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

You new decklist looks good. I'll type up what i'll do:
Pokemon(17)
3 Onix
3 Steelix
3 Eevee(Promo)
2 Umbreon
1 Kabuto
2 Kabutops
3 Cleffa
Trainer(26)
4 Elm
4 Bill
3 Pokemon Trader
2 Breeder
3 Fossil
3 Focus Band
3 Double Gust
2 Balloon Berry
1 Time Capsule
1 Energy Stadium
Energy(17)
4 Dark
4 Metal
6 Fighting
2 FHE
1 Rainbow
This should be a fast decklist..try it. I've play tested this version that i just typed up and it's really fast. Here's the match-ups i found with this deck:
Big Fire: The flips on the eggs were working for me and got out Tops Secong turn tearing up those Cyndaquils.
Grass: I got Steelix out early so he dominated.
Water: Everything came out at diffrent times and dominated.
I hope i helped.
