ok, we all know he died when wrath/trash exchange cycled out, but i think with AQ we got perfect cards, i tested a EX Fable/gatr when ex came out, it was ok, but this has real potential

Pokemon 21

4 Cleffa
4 Totodile (Swipes)
4 Croconaw (Take Away)
3 Gatr (Riptide)
3 Clefairy (EX)
3 Fable (EX)

Trainers 22

4 Juggler (VERY cool, considering u draw 5 every time u play this)
4 Juggler 2 (u get like 2-3 Energy so its pretty cool)
4 Elm
3 Focus Band
2 Healing Feilds
3 Double Gust
2 Switch

Energy 17

17 Water

ok now u see, the fables are good early game, u switch out all ur poke for energy (if needed) and its just cool when used early game, juggler and juggler 2 are VERY cool. Juggler allows wrath like draw, juggler 2 allows a quick search of energy. Focus are for cargo. Healing is for kingdra

Any questions/comments?

Hey Mercad,

Let me see if I can give you a little tweakage...

Pokemon: 19
4 Totodile (Swipes)
4 Croconaw (Sweep Away)
3 Feraligatr (Expedition)
2 Cleffa
2 Clefairy (Expedition)
2 Clefable (Expedition)
1 Suicune (Non Holo)
1 Elekid

Energy: 17
17 Water

Trainers: 24
4 Professor Elm
4 Juggler
4 Double Gust
3 Pokemon Trader
2 Copycat
2 Pokemon Fan Club
2 Focus Band
2 Gold Berry
1 Town Volunteers

There you go. That's how I'd play Riptider Gatr. I don't have a ton of experience with it without Trash Exchange/Misty's Wrath. I dunno if Clefable is better than Parasect, but it's a cool idea. Good luck!

I think he is reffering to Seer.

4 Juggler 2 (u get like 2-3 Energy so its pretty cool)

Well it is iffy, but a couple of Energy Arks couldnt hurt.0-2 Energy depending on flips.

That card's name isn't Juggler 2, but a supporter card called, "Seer."

Actually, I thought of a somewhat, "Rogue" card drawer that could Possibly help with New-type G8R:

Mail from Bill.
Yes.
Mail from Bill.
Don't rant, just listen.

Anyways, you play Juggler, pour down all the water, and all of a sudden...Mail from Bill it! Chances are, you'll be drawing more than the average bill or even bill's maintenance should you play this right! Afterwards, drop down THAT water energy, and riptide for LOTS of damage. Just a suggestion...

If you are good with Flips, Mary's Impulse is your card. I usually get 2-4 flips and have actually gotten 10 heads on this card. And with Riptide, Energy goes back into the deck, so you can never draw too many cards. Would be good to save a few of these for late game too, when you pretty much only have waters in your deck.
