I'm still new to the card game, well all the new sets and there's so many cards. I've mainly bought a lot of the D/P sets since i've came back to the ccg world. I plan on starting to play in local tournaments and attend GenCon Indy this year(My dream is to win it.) Now I was wondering what are some basic rules for building a deck like how many energies should go in a deck IE. Thanks for all your help!

You should run a full line of your main attacker (mostly 4-4, 3-2-3 or 4-3-4, so number of Basics = number of last stage. The first stage in 2 stage lines like 4-3-4 is skipped with Rare Candies sometimes) and probably a 2-2 line of your supporter/backup attacker. 4 starter is also nice (Stantler SW being an easy to acquire card with a good energyless attack, this is a good shot.) and anything else that boosts the deck should be 1-1 or 2-2 mostly. Some decks run 2 stage 2s but this tends to slow them down, so I advise you not to.
For the trainers, most of them should be Search Supporters, then some Draw and even less Reshufflers.

You'd do that if you don't have any Rare Candies. Another basic rule is too have a stategy not just see e.g: this Electivire is strong with 120 damage.So with Infernape it would be Delcatty and either Blaziken (PK) or Typhlosion (MT). What type of deck are you wanting to build?epierce33 said:
