An attempt at hand manipulation

[Obi_Wan]

I'll get right to the point. There are very few disruption cards out there. This being so rare, it is difficult to make a deck around this concept. It is very potent and effective if used correctly. Here it is:

pokemon-18
2xSentret
2xFurret
4xEevee
2xUmbreon
2xEspeon(confuse ray)
2xScyther
2xScizor
2xSkarmory
Energy-18
4xMetal
4xDark
4xRainbow
6xPsychic
Trainers-24
3xOak's research
3xCopycat
2xLanette's net search
4xPotion
2xSwitch
2xelm's method
3xDesert shaman
2xmasterball
2xMr.B.'s compassion
1xTown volunteers
1xenergy charge

The strategy is to try to manipulate your opponent's hand long enough for you to get out a charged Scizor w/4 metals killing anything in its path.

Skarmory is a very underrated card, and his first attack can devastate your opponent's hand on the first turn. It basically says take away cards from your opponent's hand until they have only 5 cards.

Umbreon's power says to take any card for every dark energy on Umbreon and shuffle it into the deck. This is very effective in taking away key cards, and always knowing what your opponent has in store.

Tell me what you guys think...

I like this deck a whole lot. Thre was one like it on the old forum. It got a good response. It was called hand *****. I remember that b/c the kid that posted it kept saying a word, and he almost got banned for it. ...

Anyway Ill give you my input on the deck.

POKEMON

Lets see... Drop the Skamory. Its okay, but you dont need it. Its rally a waste of space. You need to focus on getting your Pokemon out and powering up Scizor. So with that being said

- 2 Skamory
+ 2 Dunsparce

Energy

Umm... I'd say run 3 Boost w/ the Espeon. It would also give you a quick hit w/ Scizor like if you had 1 metal. Or a Crystal energy. Wait crystal isnt that good. So w/ all of that

- 2 Psychic
+ 2 Boost

Trainers

Ahh... You need a better draw engine. Copycat isnt that good. Most of the time you opponents are going to have small hands, you need bigger ones. If your trying to disrupt, your going to need Warp Point. Also ER2 wouldnt be bad. Its flippy but if your playing a deck that relies on a energy a turn, -1 Energy is huge. Thats up to you though. My take on it is like this

4 Oak's Research
4 TV Reporter
4 Desert Shaman
2 Warp Point
3 Power Charge
2 Crystal Shard
2 Switch
2 PETM
2 Master Ball
2 Briney/Moo Moo Milk/Oran Berry/Potion
1 Town Volunteers

Overall
This deck is cool. You'll be winning a lot of tournaments especially since hand disruption can really hurt someone. If someone has a Delcatty or two on the bench I can't see your deck doing that much. Also Wobb wouldnt hurt that much. Another thought is to run Sneasel Ex. Furret Sneasel ex is an idea that sould be tested.

since u are playing darkness energy play Absol you know from the dragon set instead of skarmory i love making them discard instead of shuffling those cards .

[treeckodude]

I know a lot of cards that can help you out, most of the pokemon being dark type however:

Hidden legends shiftry
R&S Mightyena (Shakedown, Literally LOL!)

Unfortunatly these are all the ideas I have know, If you want e-mail me at treeckodude@yahoo.com.
