stealthy like a bunny
(you may have troubles viewing this in Netscape).

UPDATES
it's dot com!

Hi all!

Gloom here tonight with another deck! This one is a Kingdra Steelix - it needed some serious help, especially with the evolution lines. However, it should be running alot better now that we're through with it. ;D

No-Name Kingdra/Steelix (Modified)

Thanks for sending it in ILC!

Don't make me get the garden shears!

Hi all!

Gloom here with a fast update - a fire deck from Procrastination Ally's gym.

Prismatic Fire (Modified)

Woo! That's it for today. Another deck will be posted up tomorrow, and then I'm going to focus on doing a bunch of deck profiles over the next couple of weeks.

Thanks for stopping by, and keep sending in those decks!

-Gloom

UPDATES
Your ban I'm stuck in it!

Ok, so technically, that was an intro line, and today I don't actually believe I've done anything amazing.

Hmm.

*thinks*

*leaps over a building and outruns a bullet, AT THE SAME TIME!*

Whew! There we go. Ok, so up and fixed for today we have two decks. The first is an Unlimited hay from Bullados:

Beatdown Revisited (Unlimited)


Second, is what ends up being a psychic-electric pseudo bench-hunter.

Prehistoric Beam (Unlimited)


Whew! We've cleaned out the inbox here at the Atelier, so, we need more decks to be sent in! If you submitted your deck but it wasn't posted here tonight, fear not, it'll be up soon in the coming week!

Thanks for stopping by!

-Gloom

UPDATES
I wish Dr. Doom was made of delicious candy...

Hi all!

Gloom here today with an Unlimited fix of Blurby's Wigglyhay. Pretty good deck, just needed a bit of balancing in the control department.

Down Memory Lane With Wigglytuff (Unlimited)

Thanks for sending it in, Blurby!

Groudon: "I feel pretty, oh so pretty!"

Hi all!

Been a while since I did an atelier. I'm working on alot of Analyst material right now, but figured, hey, why not, might as well do some atelier work as well. Up tonight is a Dark Gatr/Noctowl deck that focuses on disruption and denial - very cool, and I loooooooove Genesis Noctowl. Great card, and a pretty great deck - almost more of a tweak than a fix.

Dark NocLock (Modified)

Thanks for sending it in Bullados!

Keep sending in decks! The Atelier is ramping up now that we're getting more submissions, so your deck will be fixed and posted as quick as we can. ;D

"Lizzie Borden... tee hee..."

wow, it's an ATELIER UPDATE! (thunder rolls)

I did a quick revision of a Modified Charizard deck. yeah.

fire up the shoesaw

UPDATES
purity: i wish i knew where my skirt was / mechachu: pure's skirtless / phat: :O / mech: :O

I'm feeling pretty torn right now. On the one hand, it's totally excellent to see that we've been getting so many well-constructed decks into the Atelier, and on the other hand, it leaves me feeling really stupid, because people are sending us their decks saying 'Please make these better!' and I have no real changes that will help them in any real way. It's great that people have obviously been watching the deck fixes and learning from them, and it rocks that we're getting less and less decks, because that means that people's decks are getting better for it. Either that or it means that the decks we fix here suck, and eventually everyone just gives up. I'd like to think it's the first. In either case, if we do screw up, and especially if I specifically screw up, please, please, please email me, nova@sugarshock.net, and tell me how much I suck. The only way I'll ever learn about anything is if someone tells me that I suck. If I hear from no one, I will continue to assume that I am an amazing deck mechanic, and that we of the Atelier have improved the ability of pokemon players overall.


Outside of that editorial (the full text of which is included in the fix - skip over it if you read it there), I have something actually to say. A deck by Peter, which I named with a certain gusto.

Meganium Madness from Pluto Mark IV: Doctor Destructo Readies His Death Beam of Incredible Destructive Power

I would have made it longer, but it got truncated as it was.

-Nova

UPDATES
What the Spock?

A lovely dark gengar deck this time. Once again, I took a bit of a creative slant, keeping much of Guillotine88 (I can't remember how he actually formats his name - sorry)'s original pokemon strategy. A bit of a minor fix card-wise, but the impact should really show in his gameplay.

Sleep Tight

UPDATES
but I want to learn Perl so I can say "Yes."
when people ask me "Do you know Perl"
or when I mishear people wo ask me "Do you know Earl?"

Quick fix by me, pk! Been a while, eh?

Take a look at Wubba's Scizor deck.

Eh...classical is better.

(sleeps)

UPDATES
pure: they make nair for men (tm) now

I had to go out this weekend, because if I didn't, a good friend of mine would have hunted me down and killed me like a dog. Great friends, I have. I sure can pick them. So that's why there was no update this weekend. But here's one now, by Bulbasnore!

Double Echo!

Ah, man, and I just realized that I forgot to edit the code, so it's the attack of the ultra-miniature logos again. Booo.

UPDATES
how did a conversation about concealing books inside betty and veronica become coconut shrimp?

Ok!

Gloom here, back from minneapolis, and happily returning to a few decks that need fixing in the atelier inbox! We went a few days without submissions, buuuuut we have a few now so this week should be content-rich. Up today we have a deck called Black Wave, a psychic/darkness deck that had some good ideas, but needed a serious overhaul. This new version should treat its user quite well in comparison.

Black Wave!

Whew. Ok! Keep those decks rolling in, and we'll keep fixing them. Thanks for sending them in!

-Gloom

UPDATES
Subt-er-fuge

*blows a big party horn*

No one writes the Atelier anymore! Hooray! We've fixed every deck ever!

I...wait, we missed one by Politoed3.

The biggest fire deck ever, Lava Volcano!

Enjoy. And here's hoping you have a great weekend. You know, once we get there.

UPDATES
but what if only four were missing ears? what if those ears belong with other cookies?

All right, a somewhat diminuitive fix here, by Josh. It's an unnamed Lugia deck, which I named: Leapin' Lugias!...and several other things.

Lugias with Guns. Big ones.

Props to Josh. An excellently constructed deck to begin with.

UPDATES
Please. Don't drink and derive.

That's right, it's my (Gloom) second update this weekend, and I just wanted to make sure that all of you know that I do NOT bring you peace and love, instead I bring you terror, death, destruction, and a whole bunch of other really messed up stuff. I hope you're afraid; the mere mortals that I've crushed under my scaled claws thus far seemed duly freaked out.

Here is a deck made by someone, about a cross between a venusaur and charizard deck. Needless to say, neither pokemon, incredible as their powers may be, measure up to the awesome scaly power of Gloomzilla.

Have a terror-filled rest of the week, everybody. If you live in Tokyo, watch for my rampage later this week. You'll recognize me because I'll be the one in the emerald sunglasses, and who is fifty feet tall and breathes fire for no reason.

UPDATES
Beware the invincible Gloomzilla!

I bet you're sick of me by now. Well, that's too bad, because I'm still here. AND I'm still fixing decks. So there. Or, as I read in a poem just earlier today:

If you're sad,
That's too bad.

Swap: The Fifth Ascension, by Evil Joe.

Wow. Evil Joe rocks at coming up with names for things, including himself. That's amazing.

Well, see you all again real soon.

UPDATES
It's not my fault the carrots froze! Come on!

Gloom here, and I'd just like to tell everyone how great Nova is. If he wasn't here to post this update for me, I'd be in some trouble! Woo!

Is there any other kind of myth? Legendary Myths!

Big thanks to Nova for being such a good sport about the whole thing.

UPDATES
Guh! I'm not even here!

Nova here, with a fantastic new deck: Aladucker!

Aladucker, the mysterious deck involving some variety of mystery.

You should all check it out.

UPDATES
How do you burn Kraft Dinner?

Hi all! I know over the weekend you missed your regularly sheduled dose of "vitamin me", but...

Wait. You know what? That was the worst - intro - ever. Vitamin me? It's not even a full pun! It's a half pun! SORT OF! ARRRRRRRRRRGH!

Peril! (Modified)

Behold! Watch, as I magically transform a dark Gatr deck in an Espeon/Krow/Noctowl! *flourishes a bright green handkerchief that then bursts into flames*

Haha!

-Gloom, magically signing off

Also, big thanks to nova, who'll be posting my finished decks for me this weekend while I'm in Boston. Thanks!

UPDATES
They're frozen because they don't like you...

Got a fix for you today, that barely counts as a fix. Warlord is just that good. Also in this issue - a case of mistaken identity! (warning! Not as interesting as it sounds.)

The dark gengar fix. w00t.

All right, I'm out of here. Bedtime! The greatest time of day!

UPDATES
Why, oh, why do my carrots keep freezing?
