Theme Deck.......?

[Raitheon]

Hi, I'm going to play at a pokemon league and I wanted to get a deck, a platnium deck. Which is better? Florish or Rebellion? Also, do many girls play at league?

 

[ゴンベ]

I'd Pick The Florish One But It's Up To You .. What Kind Of Deck Do You Want?
Also Their Are Some But Mostly Male I Think . xD

Oh then. Thanks, :). I mostly play fire, ice, and steel

Eh... theme decks are okay, but not great. Leagues tend to run what's dominate in the meta-game, which is kind of uncool, because they're all serious.

Neither, buy one as a base after studying them, and get your own cards from booster packs, and swap cards and whatnot. Play with a straight theme deck and you'll get dominated.

Not true. I am a competitive player and I tend to run weird things during league. Not everyone there is serious and thinks only about winning.

Nitrous Oxide is right though. Don't think of using theme decks during tournaments. It won't do you good.

I second Riskbreakers statement.

I played Dusknoir/Staraptor at league for fun. Two Stage Two's with no synergy whatsoever. I too am a Competitive Player, and just because I'm competitive doesn't mean you can't have fun with it. :F

Nitrous Oxide is correct, however. Don't go to the store, buy a theme deck, and be on your way to a tournament. Work hard at it.

In my first comp. i used a theme deck and got owned by a custom one. If you put a lot of effort to your deck, it works out better...

At the states for Minnesota, though, every deck I encountered was only a slight variant on the general concept of the G decks.

That would be what you call a metagame.

Don't worry, I plan on running a 4-4 Stage One, 4-4 Claydol on a mini-tournament just for the heck of it >:]

I know. I personally thought that it lacked some creativity, though I'm running an archetype deck myself (BlastCatty) in Pokemon as I also am in Magic: The Gathering (Bant Aggro).

mehhh they are both crap. x-x Bought 5 boxes of EACH and at LEAST 5 in all of them were fake. (The good ones. =P)

Are you sure? Where did you get them? How did you determine they were fake (new foils have a tendency to catch all fingerprints and scratch easily)?
