Do you guys remember the old Gen I decks that ran Poke Flute and Gust of Wind? I sure do. Poke Flute did the same thing as Echoing Horn, and Gust of Wind was just Boss's Orders if it was an Item card. The idea behind these decks was to KO weak Basic 'Mons, then bring them back with your Flute, and finally Gust them back out for a second KO off the same weak 'Mon. Can you guess how this deck works yet?

I still have to playtest this deck, and so I'd LOVE if anyone who plays this can

Do you guys remember the old Gen I decks that ran Poke Flute and Gust of Wind? I sure do.

I still have to playtest this deck, and so I'd LOVE if anyone who plays this can comment with how it goes, as well as any changes they make. Any changes that I like enough I'll use to modify this list.

This deck feels straightforward enough (beyond the initial premise) that I don't think I need to even explain how it works. You've got Items to pull your 'Mons, Shady Dealings to get your Trainers, and Stadiums to shut down your opponents' abilities and healing.

I'd consider Rare Candy for ramping evos and Quick Shooting & Headbutt Tantrum for softening up 'Mon for the knockout. I unfortunately don't own Quick Shooting Inteleon (but of course I have a playset of the Single Strike Cinderace because that's totally what I want), so I can't test this idea very effectively.
