... So I wrote this type of report for BR's and thought I would give it a shot again.
This reports is mostly on the decks my family and I (The Lynch Mob) used at the plethora of CC's we were able to go to.
My son, Dale, went from Shiftry EX/Lucario that he used for BR's to Hurricane. We stuck with it for about 6 cities trying different builds (some time 2-3 cards difference, others 10 cards). But his luck wasn't going well with it. With the speed of decks in his group and at least a FTKO loss at each city, this deck wasn't fitting his play style or his metagame. I knew he still liked Lucario. So after seeing a new trainer engine one C.City (the Fishing engine), I decide to make a turn 2 fast deck with that engine. I came up with BanCario with Crystal beach. We tweaked it over the next 6 cities and he went from 2-3 or 3-2 records to making a top 4 record each tourney. :thumb:
My daughter, Heather, was able to make it to one CC (her job has her working allot on weekends). She top 4'd that tourney. She played what I call Triple threat. It was Flygon d/flygon D ex/ flygon/meganium with Lake boundary stadium. I built it to counter and OHKO Blissey and Gardy decks.
My wife, Nancy, went from playing Duskqueen (which she played all of BR's) to my build of a Gardy deck.
It had absol/Gardy(LvX)/gallade/mismagius and BF stadium. She was able to play in more Cities than Heather but not as much as Dale and me due to work also. She liked the deck more than Duskqueen and it was still purple (my build more so than most).
Me, Dana, went from playing Garphlosion (that I played all BR's) to playing Blissey/Arcanine/delcatty. Fire has a soft place in my heart. I loved the speed and the ability to OHKO with a strength charm (which Garchomp lost when more 130HP's start seeing play). Well after some bad beats and inconsistent plays with the deck I was looking for a different way to play the same pokemon. Well that one City came around that I discovered the Fishing engine and said that’s it. Arcey(Arcanine/Blissey) was born with the fishing engine and buffers/FF/charms. Consistency rose and records increased. There were a few Cities that DWDucks became a problem. A friend and I decided that Lati@s lock would be the play and it fit well in Arcey. So after Dale did well with Bancario/C.Beach and seeing Arcey still had uphill battles against Gardy, I switched to Bancario/C.Beach with the fishing engine. I love the deck. I have little different tweaks then my son but basically the same list. I feel so flattered that some of my friends have decided to make and play a version of their own.
