[X] My Assistant

I was in town earlier and had a bit of cash leftover so I thought I'd go buy some pokémon cards... nothing big, just a couple of expansion packs. Walked into the shop and saw they had decks for £6, so I got the Royal Frost theme deck. Got home and found m Empoleon X card from a while back, and the deck has a normal Empoleon in it so you can probably guess I was pretty happy
Planning to dig out my other cards at some point, I think they're in the storage unit down the road... anyone got any tips for deck building? My current one is just a slightly modified version of the Royal Frost deck, a couple more magnetons, an onix and a steelix among a couple of others, but once I get all my old cards I'll have some crazy amounts of pretty much every energy type of pokémon. I plan on having 2 or 3 types in each deck with some energy/trainer cards too, thoughts?
Oh and does anyone else get really frustrated when they want to play but have nobody who owns any cards/knows how to play?

Well thats nice, decks over here are 20 bucks, i usually make my decks monocolored, but i am making a garchomp/tyranitar/darkrai deck, and might add a dusknoir.

basically, either monocolors with normal, or bi.

and yes, beating my bros over and over is boring, as not having anyone else to play against

£6? Nice! The last ones we bought were the world championship decks and they were about £9 in one place but £13 in the big toy shop in town! Lindley and I only really play against each other but apparently we have a TCG type club meeting relatively near us of a Sunday morning but have yet to go and try it out. They're pretty laid back, as far as we can tell and we can go and start off with our theme decks, yay!

Any of these near you, CardboardFish? http://www.op.pokemon-tcg.com/league/locator/

£6 where did you get it the closest place where i live i get them for £11
but i sometimes base mine around a theme deck but i like custom decks get decks for some hard to get cards and energies thats usually my plan

[Samphyre]

I get my decks from the newsagents in town. There were some for £10 or so, but most of them were £6

@ROMANA, nearest league is Norwich which is an hour or so away from me, but I may go check it out some time.. thanks for the link! <3

I hardly ever bought decks, i stuck to boosters

My best deck was Called 3G ..it had three gardevoirs in that kicked ass along with an espeon. It was a physhic/normal i think ...though it probably changed regularly

[Sanakitty]

I almost never buy decks, I have 30 of ever energy (except metal and dark...) so I don't need those, and I don't want to pay for a bunch of cards I'd definitely get in boosters with one rare or two. Team Rocket ones I swoop up though
