Cyrus vs Redwater
Every card has a purpose, Magcargo creates consistency and synergy with top decks and clutch draws with Aipom. That is pretty creative and very efficient with the holon engine. Emboar is the perfect matchup with Charizard G in my opinion. I will say it isn't the most creative option. Azelf is great for the obvious reasons, and Unown Q helps you in the sticky situation. Every basic has 1 retreat cost. Energy line is very good, I would have liked to see a Rescue energy or two for consistency. All in all, a very good submission.

Impressive, though it was late but the point deduction will be enforced. This is a VERY consistent build, it's very impressive without a doubt. I absolutely love the consistency in correlation with the Shiftry EX. Fluffy Berry is creative and a great blast from the past. Max potion can be used very well here to save yourself. The one thing I see that I dislike is the 1 Bebe's Search, this as a whole hurts the consistency a bit. Energy count is very good.

At 1st glance, this is a list that doesn't look too consistent. Typically 1 of cards dont do to well unless there are acting agents that can create synergy between cohesive units. There have been VERY few decks that can abuse this method to make inconsistency look consistent. The most notorious deck as of late was the SP engine. It was mainly flawless at all levels. This list is using one of the greatest T/S/S engines of all time, the Holon engine. This style was in nearly EVERY deck in it's time. You either played it or lost, typically. What he has elected to do with this build is abuse the old age Holon engine with something that makes it basically broken on every level, the use of Junk Arm is intense. Pure consistency, very smooth in terms of T/S/S. Now let me move on to the Pokemon line/energy count.Cyrus

This is a very Basic build, almost a skeleton build. I think more work could have been done here. But I will say the Pokemon line is VERY consistent. The one thing you need is Azelf, it is a very consistent card and is needed for that purpose. I like the Sableye start, it is a perfect early Judge affect in which you can hurt your opponent then start swinging gaining the momentum. I do feel there are better methods to your success with what you are trying to do, but Heatran LV. X is pretty creative. Things I think that would have made this deck a vicious deck would have been the abuse of the Holon engine, especially since you are running Delta Pokemon. It could have made this A LOT more consistent. Very decent entry none the less.Redwater

Interesting Pokemon line, I for some some reason expected this build. The only problem with this deck is it is VERY hard to setup with your T/S/S build. I am not a fan of the rainbow energy affect, it ruins a bit of your consistency, sadly. I do however like the Powertree and BTS in the list. I do feel this could have been a lot better.SceptileKing

1st Glance is not too impressive, but if you look deep into it you will see it's consistency and creativity. This deck even without a straight draw supporter, it sets up quickly. Chatot G is such a good card, earned some creativity there with that. Weavile is good and with the Seeker and scoops it makes it a very good attribution with Shiftry and its ability to reuse energy and save from KO's. Impressive entry!Magnechu

goldedda vs Gowk
1st thing I noticed that I didn't like about this deck was was the trainer setup for Electrode Prime. Twins is a great card combo, but I feel VS Seeker, Quick Ball, Poke Drawer, speed trainers is the way to go with this Electrode Prime. It makes for more consistency and such, also can created a reverse search engine. Other than that, was shocked to see this Metagross be played, but it is creative and decent. Your Pokemon line is VERY consistent. I also like the abuse of scramble energy here as well. A little flippy but if you can get heads this deck will become lethal without a doubt. Insanely quick.

1st thing I notice was the lack of anything relevant to be known as a starter. Just straight forward, I do however thing this list is fairly consistant. I like how your energy count is fairly low, but you compensate it with Metagross DX and Conductive Quarry. This deck needs some pokemon draw in my opinion, Claydol or Uxie for example. Those two arent creative but it helps the consistency. You have decent supporters here. I will say I would of liked to see more energy in this deck for what your strategy is consisting of. 13-14 would have sufficed.Gowk

cabd vs bullados
This is a VERY solid build. You are abusing the greatest T/S/S engine of all time, which means it isn't too creative but it is consistant. Just like Cyrus before you, you understand the power of Junk Arm with Transceiver. It is a good use of Spiritomb to maintain a lock early on, while building up your setup. I like the combo of energy here, I would have up'ed the energy count to atleast 9 though. I would of also liked to seen 2 more Call energy here, I feel Call+Mentor+transceiver+Tomb equals distruption, speed, and consistancy. Good list, fairly creative.cabd

Bullados, great article here with use of one of the fastest engines of all time. The Poke Drawer engine, which works well with Junk Arm. We have basically seen this trainer build in the Gyrados deck that was nearly unstoppable with its 1st turn ko's. Ill have to verify the Expert Belt/EX combo, but I believe you are right here in that you will still only let your opponent pick up two prizes. I like the energy count, I didn't like cabd's energy count because of his list. But your list is A LOT faster, and equally as consistant. Great build, and I am not shocked to see both of you decide Dragonite EX was a good play. I would have liked to see some Zekrom/Reshiram, or even some Max Potions for help with the tank. But all in all, good article.bullados

I love the Pachy and Roseanne's here. VERY quick setup. The Porygon 2 is nice, but seems to not work too much. I feel don't run enough of the scott to really get it going, maybe 1 more. Energy count is about right for this style. You have a solid setup just missing a few things here and there, overall it is a good deck. But once again, WHY NO AZELF? one of the greatest card droppers of all time, saves you so much and adds insane amounts of consistency.Pokemon(16):

EXACTLY what I had in mind in a creative version of this deck. This is BEASTILY, insanely consistant, quick, but lacking something. AZELF, or atleast another Uxie to prevent it from being prized. This is soo creative, so fast, and very effective, especially if you're great at coin flips. This is nearly perfect, just a few things flawed. You needed another Uxie or Azelf. it hurts consistancy THAT much. Great article.ericknance

Great list, you need Azelf as well I love the idea of this deck, very creative, and it works. Actually tested and it works Great card usage here, and good energy count. I like seeing Scramble energy in here, you are just spreading damage to ko everything all at once with Darkrai Cresslia Legend. I would of liked to see an Omastar here for devastating power. But there is a flaw...The purpose for this deck is to spread by using Cursed Stone and attacks. Well guess what, bye bye Claydol good entry nonetheless.Machampion12

This can be a lethal deck, but it could be VERY hard to setup. BUT, you run Twins...the perfect counter to this in my opinion. I would of liked to see the Holon Engine in here, sadly you elected to not go that route would have really helped consistancy. This is a good tank deck, and thx to Ross's deck we can now run 3 Stage 2's without too much trouble. It just takes a lot of skill.
