Does anybody have any guesstimates, top-of-the-head-numbers, blink reactions, to typical value of the decks that win championships?
The question I am curious about is "what kind of budget should one allocate to create a highly competitive deck?"
So in 2007, during the regionals or during the world championship, how much would you have spent to create the deck that ultimately won the championship.
I know it all depends and all that; but there has to be a ball park number. Just looking for averages.
Pokemon has released 4 championship decks for 2005, 2006 and 2007 that I know of;
2006:
* Jason Klazynski (World Champion 15+) - Deck featuring Manectric ex.
* Jimmy Ballard (2nd place 15+) - Deck featuring Flareon ex.
* Miska Saari (World Champion 11 to 14) - Deck featuring Solrock.
* Hiroyuki Yano (World Champion 10 and under) - Deck featuring Lugia ex.
Tom Roos's deck is described here: http://www.go-pokemon.com/op/strategy/articles/57.html and other 2007 decks are here http://www.go-pokemon.com/tcg/news/articles/58.html
Many of you are VERY proficient - you guys can smell a deck and say "thats worth about $75-$100".
Just looking for average, approximate numbers.
Thanks
