Newbie here, got enough credits to buy a new deck to start earning free packs, saw that some sets were recommended in OP's pastebin but has that recommendation changed in any way since it was first written?
Out of the free decks, I've grown to like the electric one the most. Two beefy Kangaskhans to slowly start up an offensive, which can also boost my hand if I throw a rocky helmet on top too. Two supporters that allow me to draw more cards. All of the unevolved cards get on evolution unlocked while improving the set, and even if you don't manage to make them useful, filling out the bench along is useful to fuel a Raichu if you get one into play. Took a break when I unlocked double colored, but I can only imagine that those are useful in a pinch to charge up Khans and Raichu faster.
Water deck can go suck itself. Porygons and Psyducks are all useless, Seakings only get fearsome if you hook them up to one of the two healing tool cards, and Vaporeon, Gyarados, Cuno, and Lapras are all sitting ducks until you have enough energy to go on the offense. Granted, the latter two have useful support moves, but still, I will not enjoy playing that deck through all those NPC matches.
