Okay, so I like decks with lots of energy. Don't ask me why. My last two competitive decks have been MagneGatr and MewPerior. And now I want to go for MagBoar. So here goes:
Pokémon (14)
2-2 Magmortar TR
2-2-2 Emboar BW
2x Shuckle (Promo)
2x Unown (HGSS 54)
T/S/S (22)
4x Energy Retrieval
3x Rare Candy
2x PokéGear 3.0
3x Pokémon Communication
4x Pokémon Collector
3x Professor Elm's Training Method
2x Flower Shop Lady
1x Fisherman
Energy (24)
24x Fire Energy
Strategy: Set up, get Emboar, Shuckle, and Magmortar on bench at some point (as soon as possible, but likely T3 or so). Attach buttloads of energy to Shuckle and return them to the hand with Unown RETURN. Then, attach all the energy to Magmortar and use Top Burner to discard a lot of the opponent's deck. After that, the idea is to keep stalling until they (hopefully) deck out.
My worries:
-It'll be too slow/I will just be unable to set up because I have a hand of a couple basics, a lot of energy, and maybe a FSL at the beginning or something.
-I won't be able to deck out my opponent with the amount of fire energy I have.
I've tried to balance out the energy and T/S/S I put in as best I could, but I'm still a bit more worried about not being able to set up. Any suggestions?
