A great way to grow as a player and become a champion is to understand as many deck strategies and card combos as you possibly can (so there are no surprises!).
There's NO WAY many of us have time to build out EVERY tournament deck, play it, and become familiar with it. Let's put our heads together and learn gain some insight that we would not have otherwise acquired. Shall we?
If people actually take this thread seriously, we'll ALL learn alot from each other.
(please.. spare us your jokes. Please, only post if you're contributing to the activitity.)
OK.... HERE'S WHAT YOU DO:
1. Reply to the post Above Yours with a Deck that beats the one listed above yours.
2. Give a quick "HOW"/strategy to beat that deck.
Here's an example of THREE Posts (one after the other)
For example:
________________
Post #1
Magnmortar X / Heatran / Stark Mountain - SW/LA
________________
^^^^ post above is MagX
Post 2:
Kingdra - Legends Awakened
Build fast and abuse weakness.
Use Claydol to set up multiple backup Kingdras
Regice/Lunatone to toss energy into discard to one shot MagX when it comes.
_________________
Post #3:
^^^^ post above is Kingdra
Ampharos/ Manectric - Platinum
Spread w/ Manectric and shut off their Clayols, Regice, and Lunatone with Ampharos' body.
This delays the builds of backup Kingdras and keeps energy out of discard
Kindra's Weakness makes all attacks stronger.

Those are common responses. However, once this gets going, I hope that we start getting some LESS obvious combos/matchups.
If you guys really contribute (and not just argue or put up corny/meaningless banter), then this thread will be an INVALUABLE learning tool for everyone.
RULE #1 - Stay out if you're not going to participate.
Telling someone they're wrong will make others afraid to contribute.
Keep your disagreements to yourself.
Rule #2 - You ARE allowed to question/comment on someone's matchup IF you leave YOUR contribution first ...
Rule #3 - Legal Modified decks only
Example...

To GenericPoster123: I think you overlooked the fact that you'll need 7 energies for the first attack and your opponents is attacking for 0 energy on T1 for 100 damage.

I'll GET US STARTED WITH THIS DECK
(next person, counter it...)
DECK #1
SKUNTANK / MIGHTYENA - Platinum
By T2, poison with Skuntank and attack for 80 w/ Mightyena.
Speed and ease of setup makes it easy to keep bench size small and backup attacker ready to go.
