Help for Returning Player

[danio13]

I'm planing to return to Pokemon after a long while (during the Sinnoh era) and was wondering which structure deck I should get to get me started again. The only deck I have is the old Blastoise/Feraligator deck (the one that moves Water energy around like crazy. Really fun to use). I've always gotten used to using Water/Psychic Pokemon, but you can suggest anything that you think will be good for me.

Hmm... If you like water try Keldeo/Blastoise. Blastoise lets you attach as many water energy as you want per turn and Keldeo's attack does 50 + 20 per water energy. Everybody uses Black Kyurem-EX too. Scans:

But doesn't that deck require some tropical beaches ~150 each

It does if you want it to be totally maximized. However, if you're just getting back into the game, I'm sure you'd have plenty of fun with it regardless of Beaches.

If by structure deck, you mean the pre-made retail ones, then I'd say Solar Strike due to its amount of staple cards (catchers, Juniper, etc.)

I like that the Blastoise is in the Solar Strike Structure deck. I think I will get that one. How many do u think I should get? and any good pshychics to mix with a water deck? I'm really interested in making an Eevee deck.

It's hard to build decks around types; you build them around archetypes (basically general strategies).

If you're really interested in water + psychic stuff and you're looking to get into competitive play, Plasma is a great place to start (Deoxys EX, Kyurem PLF, Thundurus EX). It's a top tier deck and it's very inexpensive due to tins now.

Thanks, I'll consider it.
