My Online Pokemon Deck Has Leveled Up

I've talked about how genius the Pokemon Trading Card Game Online is before, because of it's level playing field. You can't buy cards with your silly Earth money, you can only buy randomized packs with coins earned from within the game itself. Yes, you can exchange promo codes found in real packs of Pokemon cards that can be exchanged online, but again, it only provides you with a randomized pack of cards, nobody automatically gets anything, and I love that.

I've been battling my way through online ranked matches, buying a new booster pack every time I scrape 100 coins together, and tweaking my deck here and there every time I get a new card good enough. My last booster pack happened to have my very first EX card, Tornadus. I got super fucking excited, immediately planning on how I was going to make him the keystone of the deck. However, if you look close enough, you'll quickly realize that Tornadus kinda sucks. Jet Blast is a move that requires 4 energy and only deals 60 damage, the output increases by 30 for each Plasma energy attached to him. I have 2 Plasma energy, and thats after 25+ booster packs. I decided to leave him out of the deck, he's more trouble than he's worth.

Then like beautiful serendipity, I opened another booster pack 100 coins later to discover a Kyurem EX card. It's unbelievably powerful, and just like every EX card, it's hard to maintain. I threw him in the deck and switched some stuff around to make it a lightning/water theme.

This new deck led by Kyurem EX is now 2-0. As you can see here, I got Kyurem EX out early against Physicist77, a guy with a much better record than me. I settled in, got a couple energy retrievals, and started picking his Pokemon off one by one. 

Kyurem EX was never knocked out, and stayed healthy for enough turns for me to get a Blastoise powered up on the bench just in case. I never needed him.

I am so excited about this new deck I've compiled. The versatility of Eevee along with a Master Ball and my new mighty Kyurem makes me extremely confident for the next tournament coming up.
