I just wanted to post here, now that I can. Unfortunately, the article posted by the OP was way premature and didn't give enough information and seems to have caused some confusion.
The Guinness people came to us long before Worlds and said they were interested in our story. The story was...
Thank you Martin.
I'm the dad from the family that swept Atlanta. There was a lot of luck on my journey to the finals, but the kids worked very hard and deserved everything they got. I did eventually surrender to my son, but he can beat me 75% of the time these days.
As long as we are including techs in the discussion, The Shaymin will make doing 20 per turn with Donphan a lot of work. I'm just saying one on one, it is not an instant win and I completely agree that Accelerate alone will not take down Donphan. In my view, the traditional Scizor build...
Donphan is not an instant win against this Scizor. It takes three shots from an unbelted Donphan to bring down a Scizor. Once you hit 60 damage on Scizor, each successive hit is 40 less making Donphan put more energy on to keep up. Having said that, Accelerate will not do the job against...
Jimmy,
Thanks to your help, guidance and encouragement, our entire family got into the game. My first match ever was against you in the shop. I vaguely knew your reputation at the time and remember thinking how cool it was that this guy took the time to teach me the ropes. I learned more...
Didn't say it was a bad idea, just looking for a way to incorporate all of those cards into a deck and find a consistent way to play them proved to be in issue in my play testing. Mewtwo - Gardy is a great combo in psychic decks, but I think the Dusknoir line is too big to fit them in...
I've thought of the Gardy - Mewtwo energy move, but that has it's issues as well. One turn attack for two energies on Mewtwo and then retreat for the energy move the next turn. Gardy a stage two on top of that. Things get very complicated. Any ideas on how to get some consistency with that...
Without Dialga G this deck has an issue with Ampharos. I also like Dialga G keeping stadiums from being played after Dusknoir X is knocked out. At that point in the match it's worth the sacrifice for an extra turn or two of damage from Stadium Dusknoir. Cresselia or Garitina, it's nice to...
An early Cresselia X on the bench in the game would be extremely effective, but if you can't get it out until later its effectiveness is limited, especially if your opponent gets out a high HP poke. I'm not stuck on Giratina, I just think it could be playable in this configuration. Maybe I'm...
I'm thinking of running a similar list, but I was wondering if Giratina would be a suitable replacement for Cressy. A couple of hits from the X could mean game over and the discard to attack would be nice (unless going against the water pokes). Also I think it might be helpful to run a multi...
The more I think about it, I'm thinking Lake Boundary might be a better choice. Gliscor LV.X is already 2x anyway.
Any other advice in general about the deck would be much appreciated.
