Dark Blast

Pokemon
Can go without the two Bagons and the Charmander line. Some of the cards rely too much on getting the stadium card out, which needs two more of to have enough luck to get.

Trainers
Get rid of energy switch, replace with two Master Balls and you have a good set of trainers.

Energy
Needs a few less fires, 20 is way too many; mabey cut down to 15?

Overall
I give this deck a 7/10, for having fairly good Pokemon, a good set of trainers, and a few too many energies. It does rely on the stadium card too much though.

Mind Games

Pokemon
Eww....eww....eww get that Duskull out! Replace it with the Crystal Guardian's Duskull. Get rid of the Slakoths aswell.

Trainers
Great set of trainers minus the Energy Switch. Simply replace those with two Pheobe's Stadium, and you've got a near perfect set.

Energy
Make it 12 Psychic, and 8 Fighting!

Overall
I give this deck a 9/10, 'cause of the good Pokemon (spare the Duskull), great trainers, and overall okay energy usage.
 
...man. Seriously. Those decks fail, honestly. They're worth 1/10 at most. Unless you happen to need a specific card out of them. But don't play them in a tournament!
 
I'd say it's like this. If it's your first deck ever, you can buy either of them. They're both not great but they help learning the game. But if you already played sum games, only buy Dark Blast for
-Blazecatty
-4 Special Darkness NRGs

Only buy Mind Game for
-Gardevoir
-Dusclops? (not that great)
-Sableye (safeguard-like Basic = win)
-Phoebe's Stadium
 
I've somehow ended up with 3 Mind game and 3 Dark blast decks over the course of time and they are good for about 2 things, Gardevoir and to teach new players how to play! over all the decks introduce players to some cool energy types and are somewhat even when played together.
 
Mind Game might be the better one, but with this I have absolutely no idea which one wins.

Just the #1 rule of Theme Deck games: Whichever has the better Trainer line is the one you get.

Trust me.

Arcanine out.
