As a current player of the TCG circuit, seeing these old cards makes me nostalgic because I own many of them, but saddened over how crap they used to be. Low HP, high cost attacks which don't do much.
Here is the main two cards of my current two decks:
Have Altaria's on your bench to boost Garchomp's attack, which are easily findable due to Gabite's Ability: http://www.sixprizes.com/wp-content/uploads/433px-GabiteDragonsExalted89.jpg
Other deck:
Have Accelgor use Deck and Cover, put Trevenant in the active position and watch the opponent squirm.
