Pokemon
This deck was built for Novice/Modified Mode in PTGO (I quickly get tired of battling against Thundurus/Deoxys/Kyruem again and again): thus no EXes and no Lasers, which tend to make people in Novice Mode unhappy. My nickname for it is "The Rabid Weasel" because it is all attack and no defense at all.
The basic framework is Flareon, lots of Pokemon meant mainly to be discarded, and Computer Search, Ultra Ball, Superior Energy Retrieval and Juniper to help discard them. But the Pokemon meant for discarding have some amazing low-energy attacks, and the crazy variety of energy in the deck lets me do a number of astonishing and unexpected things to opponents' Pokemon.
For example: Kecleon with one Prism and one Plasma Energy will knock out a Deoxys EX with two energies on it; with one Prism and one DCE will knock out a Mewtwo with one DCE on it or deal 100 damage to a Victini EX. Kecleon won one game for me by knocking out the same Mewtwo twice and another by knocking out the same Victini EX twice. Once, with a Plasma Energy and a Silver Bangle on it, it dealt 150 damage to a Lugia EX (an Espeon later finished it off to win the game).
Does it win a lot? Not really: it wins about 60% of its games. But the point is not so much to win as to have fun by doing crazy and unexpected things, and to drive your opponent crazy because he or she has no idea what is coming next.
So my question is not the usual one, how would you make it win more (that would be easy!), but how would you make it more fun to play?
