A '''deck archetype''' is a deck, built by players of the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}, that utilizes one set structure, although various players may have slight differences between their own decks of the same archetype. | A '''deck archetype''' is a deck, built by players of the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}, that utilizes one set structure, although various players may have slight differences between their own decks of the same archetype. | ||
An example of a now-defunct archetype is {{TCG|Haymaker}}, which commonly used {{TCG|Base Set}} {{TCG ID|Base Set|Hitmonchan|7}} and {{TCG ID|Base Set|Electabuzz|20}}, and {{TCG| | An example of a now-defunct archetype is {{TCG|Haymaker}}, which commonly used {{TCG|Base Set}} {{TCG ID|Base Set|Hitmonchan|7}} and {{TCG ID|Base Set|Electabuzz|20}}, and {{TCG|Jungle}} {{TCG ID|Jungle|Scyther|10}}. While these cards are usually a staple of the Haymaker archetype, they are not ''required'' to make a Haymaker deck. For example, instead of using the Jungle Scyther, a player may choose to instead focus on the {{ct|Fighting}} in the deck, and utilize Fossil {{TCG ID|Fossil|Hitmonlee|7}}. The exact number and kinds of {{TCG|Trainer}}s used with an archetype may also differ, with some users of Haymaker preferring the drawing power of {{TCG ID|Base Set|Professor Oak|88}} despite its disadvantage of discarding the entire hand, while others would choose {{TCG ID|Base Set|Bill|91}} instead. | ||

In a standard deck, only four cards of the same name may be included, except for Basic Energy cards, of which there can be as many as a player desires to fill the deck to 60. This four-card rule includes cards with the same name but different effects: a player may have three {{TCG|Stormfront}} {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Pikachu|70}} and one {{TCG|Majestic Dawn}} {{TCG ID|Majestic Dawn|Pikachu|70}}, but ''only'' four which have the name "Pikachu". Cards that have a different name ({{TCG ID|EX Team Rocket Returns|Dark Crobat|3}} and {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Crobat|23}}, for example) count differently, and thus players may have four of each in their deck. {{TCG|δ Delta Species}} Pokémon count as the same as their non-δ counterparts. | In a standard deck, only four cards of the same name may be included, except for Basic Energy cards and {{TCG|Arceus}}, of which there can be as many as a player desires to fill the deck to 60.
