Credit to u/th3m33k for making me aware of Salazzle. The idea of this deck to win by doing most (all?) of your damage passively. Important notes:

- only run fire energy. The game does that cancerous thing where it forces dark energy on you if you make changes. Until I remembered to add poison darts, it used to make me lose games because I wouldn't be able to power up my salamander.

- you want to leave nihilego on the bench. He is there just for tripling the poison damage.

- until recently, if you lost both of your salamanders, you lost the game. However, I remembered to buy poison darts, and now you can win even without them! Just put the darts on your jellyfish and unless they are one shotting you, you should get a kill here and there from the passive 60 damage between when you get hit and you get to go again. Use fire energy to retreat and swap between jellyfish if needed.

- you can replace the two potions and two grunts with something else. Maybe something that returns discarded cards? Oh yeah, I also added the red card as filler. Feel free to replace that as well. Maybe with that card that lets you shuffle your hand in and draw the same amount.

- assuming you have two jellyfish, the salamander does 30 + 30 + 20 = 80 damage before your enemy gets a turn. Assuming he doesn't "healthy" his pokemon somehow (flipping heads/retreating/etc), that increases to a total of 80 + 20 + 30 = 130 damage by the time it's your turn again.

What I'm getting at is that you should be able to "one shot" most Pokemon if they can't remove the poison and fire by the end of their turn - even if they kill the salamander.

- the game cheats. Of the 14+ times that I think I have attacked, I believe only one instance kept the enemy burned between turns. Sus.

If you have ways of making this better without removing the basic theme of "death through status effects", lemme know.
