Mostly new TCG player here, need deck building help!

Feb 17, 2012 18:55

So I need some help building a current deck? :D

I've collected the cards off and on, but I'm mostly new to the game as it is now. I played back when WotC owned it (I know, I go way back) and I've pretty much forgotten most of that anyhow so I'm more or less a fresh player again. Since I've been collecting the cards I have a nice amount from HGSS-on ( Read more... )

Is the BW emboar the one with the Ability, or without? If it has the ability, one thing you could do without buying anything else is play that Emboar in a thick line (3-3-2 maybe) and then a bunch of things with colorless or fire-based attacks --- Tornadus, Cinccino, maybe Samurott, something psychic... BW Simisear isn't bad, ND Arcanine with ability isn't bad. A lot of your supporters are energy-focused, so that works well with needing a lot of energy to play out of your hand to cycle through attackers.

Another alternative would be to pick up some Eelektrik --- they're only uncommon, so they are easy to get --- and use those to cycle electric energy through the discard on a similar set of attackers.

It's the one without the ability. This one. :/

And I'm not sure what you mean by 3-3-2? Sorry, the lingo still escapes me. @_@

Sorry! 3-3-2 would mean 3 Tepig, 3 Pignite, 2 Emboar. But that one is too slow to set up without energy acceleration, really ( ... )

I figured that's what you meant after I commented, but I wasn't sure. XD

Hmmm I like the sound of that electric deck since it does give me use of those heavy hitters and I have the energy to support the deck too. That Cubone Rush sounds fun too.

More like a little bit of both? Especially detailing Trainers more than anything as I understand you need to utilize them to get your set up as fast as possible. I guess I would just focus on ones that can get me energy or get me cards. Not really worry about things like Potions?

Sorry, I just feel like I'm flailing in the dark here a little still. ~_~

Thank you for humoring me. ^_^
