Tidal Wave MKXII

[-_DLD_-]

Hey everyone! DLD here again! Wow... nice, shiny new board, eh? Well, this is my first post (well, I had 232 on the first one), so I may as well start with something other than "Hi, I'm new." So... here's my deck, the current version of my RainDance. Old faithful, I'd say... she won me my first tourney WAY back when in early 1999. Enjoy!

Point of order: The board you're familiar with was Pojo's second board. The first was a UBB waaaaay back when. =/

7 basics all with 40- HP seems risky to me, especially if you don't win the flip.

I'd at least like to see something like a Magby here for anti-Slowking, or non-holo Suicune to protect your Squirtle from Gusts if you can't get the Blastoise immidiately. Perhaps drop an RSA or Lass.

By the way "Happy gaming" is Satoshi's tagline, back off. =p

Meany =P I happen to like that line, personally. Maybe that Suicune for a Lass... that's my guess as to fix it... anyway, I didn't know about the FIRST board... just the second one. Anyway, thanks for t3h fixz0r. TTYL

I'll throw in my 2 cents...

-1 Double Gust (u don't have so many free retreaters to make it useful)
-1 Suicune
+1 Brock's Mankage (First lass to get rid of switch and throw slowking in)
+1 Lass (3/3 on cleffa/lass works good)

Well, Suicune is in there to help beef the deck up, as it is EXTREMELY vulnerable to FTKO (which is a largely dead deck design), so Suicune is in there to help matters in that regard. Also, Double Gust is nice to alternate Blastoise (or get Suicune out of there when it's Hydro Pump time). Suicune (the one I'm using) has a power that he cannot be Gusted back, thus keeping my damaged 'Stoises safe, or my wee cute Squirts. Brock's Mankage would be useful, but there's no real room for him =\ He used to be in the deck, however. Thanks very much for the suggestions though! TTYL
