The Haymaker deck archetype was a strong competitor in the early days of the Pokémon Trading Card Game.
Cards
Key cards in the deck were Base Set Hitmonchan and Electabuzz, and Fossil Magmar. Because of their low Energy cost and status as Basic Pokémon, the time required for set-up was minimal. Combined with the fact that they were of three distinct elemental types, as well as the fact that none of them shared a weakness while at the same time all having reasonably high HP, brought many players to hate the archetype, with several decks created specifically to be anti-Haymaker.
Restriction
The Haymaker deck, being comprised mostly of cards made in the first few sets of the TCG, was one of the first to be essentially, but not explicitly, banned from play as the cards were taken out of Pokémon Organized Play. Due to its loss, however, the TCG was allowed to grow, and new strategies were eventually able to take root. Template:Project Decks notice
