Welcome welcome welcome! I've been scanning pokebeach, and I've found a terrible lack of creativity in the decks. I want to test my theory in ways nobody(on Pokebeach) has thought of before.

The way it works:
Every "round", we will give you a theme to your deck. We may give you limititions a to what you'll use. For example, the first round's theme will be 1st gen starters without 4 copies of the same card (basic energies excluded). You will only be able to use SW-on cards.

After every round, you will submit your deck to the judges. These judges will rate you on a few catagories. These catagories being creativity involved, consistancy, machups against other good decks (in the current format), good use of the topic card (one of the 1st gen starters in this case), and price practicality (we don't want 4 TSD, and 6 LV Xs).

Every round will be a week long. Make sure you turn your deck in before the deadline.

The judges will be:
Z-man
The Fapster (Jason)
Spirit of Mew
Eliminations:
Every round, we will eliminate the person who made a deck that did the worst in our five catagories. If the judges cannot agree, we will require a redshark playoff so make sure you have redshark.
Signups:
We will be looking for 10 different deck builders. Please sign up ASAP.

1. Zyflair
2. Rummage
3. Bob Franklin
4. Mudkip
5. Amt
6. Celebi23
7. Potatofondue
8. TofU
9. Dusknoir FTW!
10. Apophys

Charizard/Regigigas-- SAY WHA?!?!?

Strategy: Well Charizards Body work's if your opponent has 3 or less prizes. Regigigas helps you achieve
that.

-I could have gone the simpler route of playing Electrode SW in the deck, but that was a bit too obvious.
The Memory Berry help you not have to have 4 Energy on Charizard to hit for big damage. You can do 70
for 1 Fire and they are auto burned.

-There is a Honchkrow G in here in case you need to sac a Pokemon, and retrieve either your Memory Berry
or Broke Time-Space.

- Yes, there is no way for you to attack with Regigigas Lv. x's attack. That is ok, since it is not the main
focus of the deck. Think of it as the "starter" Pokemon. The Promo only requires colorless energy to attack.

-The Promo Regigigas allows you to weaken your opponent, or put them in a tight spot of having to draw a switch
card by bringing up a Pokemon like Claydol.

-I hope you don't deduct from the cost score because I use 2 Lv. x's. Regigigas comes in a tin and it should be fairly
easy to trade for, and Uxie Lv. x is expensive in Pokemon terms, at $25. All of the other cards
should be fairly easy to obtain.

-Life Herb is a very good healing card for the risk. Removing 6 Damage counters can help you so much.



I would like to state an issue with "being able to compete against the big decks." How are we supposed to treat those decks? Are they do be held to the same format and stipulations as we are?
 
^I should rephrase it. I meant "Doesn't completely suck against other decks." :) I.e. magikarp + 59 water energies = fail in that catagories bcause it can't beat a thing.
 
Quick question: does the first gen. starter has to be the main attacker, or just has to be involved in the combo in some way?
