Lame-U (L-AMU): Testing the Pixies

DarthPika, maybe you should quote all your posts in this thread that you felt were helpful so that you can show others that you have been helpful.
 
Leafeon anyone?

Leafeon is my tech for everything in here. lol (no idea if it would beat Gliscor, but it should help)


As I said before, don't waste space on stadiums, pokeradar is useless, go for consistency. Why have ppower when you can do 200damage? Needs energy switch+pickup, Claydol isnt needed in this deck, and sorry to say it but your draw SUCKS.

I know you wern't going for the best list, but to really see what the deck can do and see the consistent t2/3 2/3 lv.x in play you really need a good list.


Yes... I have done quit a lot of testing with it. :/

If any deck is over hyped and just flashy, its Kingdra, not AMU.


I'm not sure Dusknoir will even see that much play early on in the season. Think about it, its a stage 2 pokemon, that just sits on your bench. I think Dusknoir will only be a problem is once IFDS comes out.


Hate to ruin it for you, but Hurricane was a very good deck, and still is. It won several tourneys, and considering that Blissy and Plox DESTROYED it, it did very well. I've done lots of testing with AMU and I can tell you that there is quite a lot more to a good one then you would think.


Actually Leafeon lv.x was used with it, not so much Gardy PK.

Keep in mind that they have IFDS, and that AMU has a hard time with some of the cards in that set.


What deck did you use against it? If you used one with a good matchup against AMU then its dumb to say how you won. Saying you beat AMU means little if you don't say what you beat it with. >_>

BTW why would I give information about my list? If you lists isnt good then, perhaps you should look at cards to make it better, its really not that hard. Yes you need a good list to see how well the deck can do, but no way am I going to just give you my list which I have put a lot of work into. lol

I wasn't being either. I try and explain something about the deck, and all I get is a bunch of posts on how it would never work or there is no way you can do that. I'm willing to talk about how the deck works and stuff, but only if YOU play your part and listen and TRY it before just bashing it.

I've tested more then just against gliscor. lol

So far Ive tested agasint the following decks.

Gliscor
Groudonk
Magnevire
red face paint stuff that I've made

Started testing against DP-MD decks cuz I figured If it cant beat them then theres no point in using it lol.

Tested it agaisnt most of the DP-MD decks, and it wasnt to hard considering that there were only about 5/6 at the most. ;)

Need to test agasint

Kingdra
Luxray
Other stuff that I think will be a threat.

Wow, look at all those great posts. Somehow, I feel enlightened because of this.

And here's the most recent:
Every time I try and back up what I say, all I get is a "I tested AMU and it sucks, this deck can't beat anything" reply. If someone tests AMU and it loses to everything then they DO have a bad list, I have already said how a good list should work but it seems everyone here is so ready to hate the deck that they don't care what I say.

You proved my point DarthPika, thanks a bunch. <333



ON TOPIC: Any suggestions for other techs? 1-1 lines work well in this deck due to Azelf LA. I almost feel as if I should tech in more than just Froslass or Mewtwo. Stage 2's? Meh.
 
Pablo, I haven't been posting stuff about my list really. I mostly have been saying that a "good" list should be able to beat so and so deck, and I try to say how it beats it. For some reason someone decided to bring my list into it complaining how I say how MINE works, yet I don't post it. I have already said for the most part how my lists works, but I'm not going to give out my personal techs. I really haven't been going on how awesome my list is, and I have NEVER said that no one knows how to make the deck good. Its NOT an easy deck to build or play, even I have been having a hard time getting the list right. I post what I think the deck should use or have, but just because I don't post my full list, that does not mean that I'm not helping.

You wont mention your personal techs, yet you do mention how good tey make matchups for you. If you won't share them we are NOT interested and could use without most of your posts.

I saw people using Palkia Lv.X in this, has this been mentioned at all? It would completely solve any Mewtwo/Mightyena issues right?

Only if they have a bench. It's a gutsy / crazy / stupid play but if they just play down Mewtwo and let their one or two starting basics get sacked then AMU can't do a thing with Palkia or the pixies.

I'm thinking that Mightyena should be beatable with warp point regardless of your opponent's bench. Just get a new pokemon active and attack.

I have said the techs that make the deck good. :/ My own personal techs really don't do much for the deck over all, just help certain matchups, or provide an alternet attacker. For example if I run Leafeon, I probably stick in a powerfull basic pokemon that can provide a turn to get back KO'd faries, KO the active pokemon/do serious damage with out discarding energy. I have said many times what the basic techs are and thats really what I use, but really I would think that everyone should be able to go from there and find stuff. Thats how I found some of these techs, I looked and looked and came up with some pretty cool stuff to stick in, all I ask is that you try and do the same. Think about what the decks problems are, its weaknesses, and strengths, then look for a tech that can help it out in some way.

DeathBerry, no comment.
 
I've actually found myself switching the list between 2 Uxie to 1 Uxie and adding an addtional Azelf Lv. X. 1-1 Claydol takes care of consistency imho and Azelf is a much better starter and attacker as well.

i thought of that, but tbh the azelf LA drop is sooooo needed because of how the deck is (4 max in a deck of pre/LVX) there is bounnd to be prized fairies, no good.

azelf lvx is awsome, but azelf LA is just better.

4 Pokeradars with 16 pokemon won't help at all. You'll be pulling duds most of the time. Hmm, I'd suggest 2-2-2 Leafon LV.X, which would replace the 4 Radars and 3 plus powers. Subtract one Bebe's so with two spaces you could put in 2 Cynthia's or 2 Pokeradars. Also maybe add in a couple of multi energies for leafon.

I've seen this deck played with energy switches and super scoop up so maybe put that into consideration. AND never forget how awesome Deep Balance is with non Kingdra decks.

I first tested AMU w/ Pokeradar. When it hit.. it HIT BIG!!! But, there are ALOT of non-pokemon cards in the deck. However, Quick ball didn't help me much either. I ended up tossing them BOTH out and using a combo to draw... lol
 
Its great when pokeradar hits big and works nice for late game Night Maintenance runs :D. My record with pokeradars has been really good. I've only pulled a no pokemon once and I've had a couple of times where all 5 cards were pokemon. (Glad it isn't mandatory to take them all) . What combo are you using to draw?
 
I have an AMU deck and trust me it fast and consitstent ive only lost once with it to kingdra. You have a really bad list there if you fix it up then youll have alot more success with it. im also always set up by 2-3 turn

hows she look?

AMU should run 4 energy pickup.
Supreme Blast is the only thing that makes the deck truly worthwhile.
 
Hmm, I am a skeptic of AMU. But if enough people have TRULY tested the deck, then is must be at least decent. I also feel that the t2-3 is possible simply because of alt he pixie powers.

How fast are you guys getting SB up?

t2 Every now and then.

Usually gets full set up by t3/4. If you get a bad start, and I mean BAD you still should be able to get it up by t4/5.

Keep in mind, you only need to get it out if something big and nasty comes along, which probably won't be till t3/4. While they set up you can easily set up/disrupt/take a few prizes with the rest of the pixies.
 
Unless you run many kinds of energy Energy Search is worthless...why not just play more Energy?

Or if you need to lower your deck size...! (...But it doesn't shrink your hand size... If anything, playing multiples of Energy Search in a turn would clog your hand up with unplayable energies, making Claydols and Uxie drops less effective <_<") I guess that's the one advantage of PokeRadar; yes, you'll get nothing quite a bit, but if you want nothing to shrink your hand size, or you want a lot of pokemon to fill the bench, it's all possible.

Personally, I like three copies of the flippy cards, but that's just me. Assuming there really is a 50% chance of getting heads (I seem to have a ~10.87% chance, and all of my opponents seem to have an 89.13% chance of heads but that's just me. *shrugs*), then three flips should give you on average 1.5 heads a game, which is close enough to two heads while still giving you the space for some other tech card.
2 copies seems... well. You've got a reasonable chance at one heads. Probably not for two heads over the course of the game. I like to use these kinds of effects more then once in a game. ._."
 
WHY THE HYPE? I mean testing the PROXY versions is fun but....

WILL BATTLE ROADS REALLY BE FULL OF DUDES WHO ACTUALLY PUT THIS MUCH MONEY INTO ONE DECK ???

Dude... I cracked THREE boxes .. and I still don't have a Mesprit X to run this .. lol So how many people are actually gonna be able to even pull a NONproxy version of this out by Sept 20 ??
