Jim Ferrell said:Okay, when I posted this deck I was tempted to list why I wouldn't use Steven's Advice, but I KNEW everyone on the forum would be like "Play Steven's" and figured it'd be a good debate.
Here's my reason for not playing Steven's Advice. This ties in with how I play my deck. The goal of this deck is to punch a lot of energy in my hand, then Shower it all down with Flygon. I don't TYPICALLY ATTACK with Flygon. I think everyone's getting the wrong impression with how I use this deck. I don't use Steven's because simply, my hand's too big to play multiples of the card, that should be academic.
I think a better strat than putting in Bill's Maintenance would be to basically draw the entire deck minus a couple cards, attack, and then POR everything back. That way you don't have to worry about thinning your decks in hopes of drawing more energy. In any case, IMO TVR is generally better than Bill's Maintenance when played with Magneton.Prime said:Maybe you could take out all four TV Reporters and put in 4 Bill's Maintenances. I was thinking about the "thining of the deck". You shuffle the trainer or pokemon into your deck and hopefully draw energy. If you compare the end results of 4 TV Reporter to 4 Bill's Maintenances, you have not discarded 4 cards, which could be combo'd with magneton, and instead shuffled 4 non-energy cards into your deck. I just feel with enough draw, you might want some shuffling back into your deck. You don't want any oak's research, because that would cancel out the whole strategy of putting energy in your hand.
Tis' a very tight deck. ANother idea of getting energy is the magma/aqua cards that search your deck for either pokemon or energy, two of a combination. Forget the pokemon stuff though.
Good luck again.
