I've never done a deck garrage. but I think that having one on psypoke would be cool. and I think we need one.

Does annyone want to help run a deck garrage?

hey Darth where do you get your backgrounds I just figured out how to do TCG cards and I'll help

i could help run it, but right now my deck is the one that needs help XD

I've just posted on your art shop thread with Ryo about that arcanine in your sig CL. it was stolen from me and I know it. I was gone for a week but that does not excuse art theft. if you had wated for a reply I would not be as mad. but you stole it from my sig and possibly other Hydro cards. also my cards are Exclusivly team Hydro cards. if you joined team hydro and broke off from inferno I might let you help, but you'd need to promise never to make cards for anyone exept team Hydro members.

GM. I'd be happy to make sugestions on your deck. just list your cards (with what set they are from) and the bacic Deck stratagy. also, tell about this thread! not many people come here and we want them to find this!

um lol I just have one question. hehe uh
Whats a Deck Garage?

A deck garage is where you post your deck and other people try to fix it for you.

Yes. and a good example (although he Did forget to say what set his trainer cards are from making my job harder)
was PMed to me by GM:


POKEMON: now first off, the DE Jirachi needs to go. I suggest that if it's stalling power you need, you ought to try FRLG Chansey . great staller them Chansey. since your deck has a lot of pokemon tools, the executor can be traded off for a newer unseen forces slowking. also HL ninetales will wreack havoc on this deck, but I'm not quite shure how to fix that and still leave you your stratagy, but hopefuly what I have already will help.

Trainers: you did well here. but you could use more healers for your pokemon. especialy since so many of your pokemon are EX. also I should mention that, if Defence Deoxys gets into your prizes cards than Desert tomb will wreak havoc on your deck I'm not sure how to fix this. remove an energy search (they only work on basic energy anyway), and add another life hearb incase the first one fails.

that leaves us with:

Energys 20
psychic energy X 16
metal energy X 4

Trainers 20
meteor falls X 2
magnetic storm
ancient tomb
energy switch
fluffy berry
life herb x 2
curse powder
strength charm
proffeser cosmos discovery
protective orb X 2
proffeser birch X 3
master ball X 2
energy seacrh X 2

Pokemon 20
metagross EX
Chancey FRLG x 2
Metagross HL/DE,
Metang HL X 1 DE X 2
slowpoke (any) x 3
slowking UF x 3
Deoxys X 3 (attack defense and normal)
Deoxys EX X 4 (attack defense speed and normal)

I know, not many changes. But battle with it and if it still needs more tweaking just say so! (try E-bay and this site for the cards: http://pokemoncenter.safeshopper.com/10/cat10.htm?444)

ok, thanks for the advice.ill try to get that slowking, and i already have the chanseys.but im not removing the jirachi DE, and heres why:
now thats some serious draw power.

okay! after no votes for NO. I'm making it a deck garage. you may post your decks. also, I'd like some helpers. please make any comments you like on my deck fixes.

on your marks, get set, go!
GM, post your other deck. lets see what I can do with it!

to get your attention: if I don't get some decks in here I'm going to close here and restart in sootopolis.

i have my Dark Deck this time, and here it is...

Dark Deck

Pokemon 22

Dark Tyranitar #20 X2
Dark Tyranitar #19 X2
Dark Pupitar #40 X4
Larvitar #62 X2
" " #63 X1

Dratini #52 X3
Dark Dragonair #31 X1
" " #32 X1
Dark Dragonite #15 X 1

Energies 20
Boost Energy X1
2 dark energys and 1 metal energy (wanna replace with dark metal energys)
Double Rainbow Energy
R energy

water energy X4

Trainers 18

Lady Outing X1
Rockets Mission X1
Rockets Hideout X1
Rockets Admin. X1
Pokemon Retriever X3
Pow! Hand Extension X1
Venture Bomb X2
Surprise!Time Machine X1
Swoop! Teleporter X2

Strategy: Using Trainer Cards, Get out Tyranitar #20 as fast as you can.Then, using its poke-body, if it's still early in the game, you can completey rip your opponents bench apart. Or, if its late in the game, use Tyranitar #19 to also rip apart your opponents pokemon.(The rockets scyther and scizor EX,rockets wobbufett and meowth,Dark dragonite, are all just for support.)(I'd also like to keep atleast one copy of each of the rockets secret machine.)

okay, this looks like a generaly good deck to begin with, but it has a few weeaknesses i'd like to address:
this deck is powerfull, but A TRR togetic would tear your Tyranitars limb from limb + it's resistance to Rock.

in this case I'd like to add a Dark sandslash. it maches your main type, swift can punch through poke-Bodys/poke-Powers, and it ignores the resistance to Rock so many pokemon seem to have these days. but of corce that means adding 2 sandshrews and taking stuff out.
I know you wan't to keep the TRSM's, but the venture bombs are next to usless unless used in pairs of 3's or 4's. and even then you sometimes hurt your guys more than you hurt the other team. so -2 venture Bombs. next off, your wobbufett Does not mach your main type, or even your other types! it can be usefull in certan situations, but it dosn't belong in a Fighting deck. One of its attacks needs psychic energy. we have enough kinds of energy cards in this deck already. -1 Rockets Wobbufett.
now, this brings the room for that sandslash so + 1 Dark Sandslash & 2 Sandshrew. now, again we have lots of poke's with ressistance to Rock, so lets trade a Rockets pokeball (two Pokeballs should get the job done anyway.) for a Magnetic storm Stadium card.
the lastly, you might consider swiching TR's Admin for a copycat card. but thats up to you.
so now we have:

Pokemon 24

Dark Tyranitar #20 X2
Dark Tyranitar #19 X2

" " #32 X1
Dark Dragonite #15 X 1
Dark Sandslash #19 x1
Sandshrew #74 x2

Energies 20
Boost Energy X1
2 dark energys and 1 metal energy
Double Rainbow Energy
R energy
electric energy X3
water energy X4
fighting energy X7

Trainers 16

PS. If you still insist on keeping a venture bomb, remove Rockets meouth or 1 sandshrew instead. but I warn you, you'll do better if you let the meouth and sandshrew stay and dump the venture bomb.

Hope you like! (any one else need a deck fixed? come on then, post it! )

sorry about double posting,

I WILL move in one week.
I'm moving to sootopolis.
If you want your deck fixed, post now or forever hold your peace. if you guy's post enough I might consider staying, but untill people start coming to TCG Disscution I'm of no help. I think I'll get more bussness in sootopolis. or I might try charging for fixes in the market. I'm counting on you! I'll move if I have to, but I'd rather bring life to TCG disscution. so hit me with all you guys got! if you just battle with family rules then tell me the rules and post your deck! :

EDIT: okay I'm not getting any requests for deck fixes in sootopolis so I'm reopening! be sure to tell friends about my garage. 8)

ok, i redid my dark deck, and here it is:

strategy:same as before, get out tyranitar or dragonite and wreak havoc.
or use raikou ex to do the same, because with its first attack you can do 70 damage for 3 energy no discards or anything.plusle is for benching filling, it has the call for family attack.and dark electrode is used to get out darks and dark metals.

just a bunch of random cards,but some notable ones are:
mysterious fossil x4
lt. surges secret plan
fossil egg

energys 20
fighting x13
water x7

strategy:Kabutops ex.aerodactyl ex.kabutops(discovery).
you may think 10 fossil pokemon is way to many, but it isnt.this deck could run perfectly with only one myterious fossil, because of omanytes effect, wich lets you fill your bench with fossil pokemon.

rate them or else!

i suggest also psypoke website also needs 1.

well DAINAI, tecnecaly I'm open to buisseness now. so Psypoke Does have one .

GM:
I've finneshed your Dark deck. Sorry it took so long. I had a hard time trying to think of things to improve! (good job!)
I must add however, that Dark Decks don't offer as many sets to pick from as a Non-Dark deck. (same with magma/aqua)
but first off, you had more dark energy than electric! and only 1 or 2 of your pokemon actualy need them. so -2 R energy, +2 electric energy. second, realize that there are anti-dark/rocket pokemon, (again, TRR Togetic is a very notable Example) thats where dark sandslash's Swift comes in handy. I didn't know quite which pokemon to trade in, but settled on Electrode. (trust your experiance with this deck. if Electrode is constantly saving you. keep it.) other than that, I coulden't find any thing wrong with your deck. every pokemon in it serves a unique purpose, the trainers are good ones, the only problem with energy is fixed. so thats it! done.

one last word of advice. see if you can get into worlds with this thing.

the older deck will need more time. (My card-Dex only dates back to RS.)

ok, ill help you, just post it.

and, i gotta wait for another city championships to come to town(i live in Phoenix, AZ).

darth DLA,the deck u made majorly unfocused[Pokemon,trainers&energies]sry if my words offend u.and good luck to u both.DLA and gloom master

Well Dainai, I'll show you why I did it. but if you want, you can take a crack at it.

Trainers: judging by the way he had it set up before, he A: does'nt have many trainer duplacites or B: thats part of his battle plan, it gives him many powerfull choises (the trainers he doesn't have many dupicates of are good ones. trust me) but he can only use them once. a great risk, but it also has great potential. I sometimes play this way, and I win on a regular basis. (if super energy removal were still useable, I would make these more foucused )

Pokemon: GM's stratagy suggests this deck is desined mostly for sheer damage output. (tyranitar, dragonite, Raikou) plusle's attack helps speed things up (search for basic, put on bench. usefull when you have that many stage 2s) sandslash plays emergency defence. (quicker to get out than a stage 2, and has swift which isn't effected by poke-body/powers weakness resitance etc. making it usefull when fighting anti-rockets) in aditon to providing Dark Dragonite with a way to evolve, evolutionary light is a big help, perfect combo used with Plusle.

energy: when you realize that dark energy, R energy, double rainbow energy, and dark Meatal energy are all just Dark energy, they aren't unfoucused at all.

hope you realize now why I did what I did.

GM I'll Post mine on monday. it is in need of a major fix. it coming out of retirement so to speak. (out with the old, in with the new.)

EDIT: here it is:
Darth's Ninetales revived.

Pokemon: 26
basic:
numel (sandstorm) 69/97 (1) & 70/97 (1)
magnimite (sandstorm) 61/97 x4
pidgey (FRLG) 73/112 x2
vulpix (HL) 81/101 x4

Stage 1:
Ninetales ex (HL) 96/101 x2
Ninetales (HL) 22/101 x2
Camerupt (sandstorm) 24/97 x2
Magneton (sandstorm) 17/97 x3
Magneton (FRLG) 27/112 x1
Pidgeotto (FRLG) x2

Stage 3:
Pidgeot (FRLG) 10/112 x2

trainers: 19
High pressure system x1
Desert ruins X1
Potion x4
Life herb x2
Poke ball x2
energy search x2
energy recycle system x1
energy root x1
solid rage x1
lum berry x1
Mr. briney's compassion x1
professor cozmo's discovery x1
ATM [rock] x1

energys: 15
rainbow x1
electric x5
fire x9

Stratagy: Get out pidgeot ASAP, use quick search to speed up my deck and assention to get Ninetales EX out. I use magneton's magnetic field to get the energy discarded by Ninetales back. play dessert ruins and normal ninetales for anti-EX, With camerupt playing back up. I'm planning on swiching cammerupt for some deoxys macargo when I can.

Problems: I had only a very few new trainers in my collection when I Re-made my deck, what you see here is just what I had. fix it so I know what trainers to get. I also have a problem if my opponent dissables my poke-powers.

well, my guess is that you want to do modified with this, so alot of stuff will have to go....

pokemon
well the ninetales and vulpix are pretty good, but swap a regular ninetales HL for an emerald one.pidgeots and such will obviously stay, but the camperuts and the magnetons will have to go.but well keep the FRLG magneton and add magnemite from the same set.

Pokemon 20
vulpix x4 HL

http://www.pokebeach.com/themedecks/worlds2005.html

has deck lists for 4 world champ decks

i want it rated 1-10 and fixed.this is an old skool deck only from the base set.

The other pokemon are used for drawing and setting up my cards for the future. I hope I did a good job I am not very good at making decks so bare with me.
