Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Bippa201's Contest: Round 7 has started. Wally vs Afstandopleren

Sorry I'm late, but I have the judge results. I was super swamped the past two days, but I'm free now.

Wow, these are fantastic, I don't want to eliminate any of them. But I have to so here they are.

High Altitude Zone=I like it a lot. Seeing as I dont play Claydol, I'd play this in a heartbeat, 9 points

Restricted Gym=It severally eliminates Energy Acceleration. If ER and SER were in, this would probably be banned, 9 points

Valley Windworks=I like the face up/down part, and both are fairly equal considering you can't change it, 10 points

Power Recharge Gym=I love this card, it works great in Glaceon decks, which I play so 10 points

Grand Festival=I think it is pretty cool, but early game is where it shines, although a little too well, 9 Points

Champions Arena=Simply Amazing. First Place this round, 10 points

Rankings
1. Afstandopleren
2. Rage780
3. Greenzangoose
4. Wally
5. Vadrake
6. Charmander Rox

It was very close, but unfortunately Charmander Rox, and Vadrake are eliminated.

Anyway, Final 4. Congratulations on making it this far.

Round 5 details

You are to work in teams, posted at the end of this post. Be glad that you are in teams, as this is the most frustrating task ever, but it will determine our final 2.

You are to construct a theme deck that you would buy in a store. I will give your team the star of the deck, the one that is holographic. Post the decklist here, and you are allowed to communicate here. You are to create at least one card, the star of the deck. You may create as many other cards as you like, other then basic energy.

For example, if I had Meganium as my star
x1 Meganium
x2 Bayleef
x4 Chikorita
and so on and so on.

For each decklist, I will have bonus points. PM me for what bonus points the bonus points are. Please use color, or bold, or underline or something so show me what cards created. Since this contest round will be very long, the deadline is Feb 23 at 5PM Mountain Time (GMT-7).

Teams
Greenzangoose/Afstandopleren
Wally/Rage780

Star of the deck
Greenzangoose/Afstandopleren
Empoleon

Wally/Rage780
Glaceon

Use those cards to create a theme deck, like you would in a store

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions
 
Alright, I just have a few comments.

Card Ratings:
You gave everyone either nine or ten points. Seriously, there has to be something wrong with these cards. You aren't even using your own criteria any more. What happened?

Judges:
I thought there were two extra judges (Jason and GGRules) to assist you in your ratings. What ever happened to them? They gave balance to ratings, and you've been skipping any opportunity for them to post their opinions. For example, you're clearly biased towards Glaceon, as in Round 2, where you explicitely mentioned bonus points for them, and here:

Other judges aren't biased like this, so your ratings are justly balanced.
 
Okay, I will answer your questions

I use the ratings, but this round I was about 2 days late, so I had to find someway to end this round and start the next.

I told GGRules and Jason that I needed their results, but they never responded when I PMed them.

And I'm biased because it is a very underrated card that has more potential then it is given.
 
I made my stadium card to counter powerspray; in particular the use of uxie to draw cards. I can't stand powerspray when I am playing uxie in some of my decks.
It does nothing to prevent porygon 2 from using his power to use an effect of supporter card. I could see uxie and porygon 2 the new draw engine instead of claydol. lol.................but it is easier to ko it;
crobat g + gengar = ko or crobat g + blastoise pt.

Back to back posts merged. The following information has been added:

Most of the theme deck are pretty horrible and definitely is not a finished deck. The only exception are the world's winning decks, which are not legal.
Are we suppose to follow real life theme decks? meaning semi-decent decklist with some decent cards and no level x card.

Oh yeah. I forgot. The two of you are competing in the final round. This round will be very hard.

You are to design cards that counter each of the cards below.

Kingdra LA
Unown G
Claydol GE
Dialga G
Shaymin Lv.X
Regigigas Lv.X
Toxicroak G
Ampharos PT
Torterra Lv.X
Tyranitar SF
Heatran Lv.X

You must design 1 card for each of the above cards. In addition, they must comply to these rules, and you must counter them well.

2 MUST be Pokemon
1 MUST be a Lv.X
3 MUST be standard trainers
2 MUST be supporters
1 MUST be a stadium
1 MUST be a TM

You will lose plenty of points if they do not meet these rules. In addition, you have 4(would be 3 but the site is down on Friday) days to do them (March 1).

Good Luck, you surely will need it
 
Is Dialga G a typo for Dialga G lvx?
Which Shaymin lvx card are you referring about? Thankfullness(+40) or other one
"2 MUST be Pokemon
1 MUST be a Lv.X
3 MUST be standard trainers
2 MUST be supporters
1 MUST be a stadium
1 MUST be a TM"
= total is 10
Are these minimum number or limiting number(meaning you can't have more than that amount)?
I count 11 cards to counter and 10 cards in your rule.
 
Each card must counter different Pokemon

2 - Pokemon

so I can do basic/stage 1 or stage 2 right?
 
By 2 Pokemon, each of them must counter a different card.

You can do a basic, stage 1 or stage 2. As long as you use 2 Pokemon to counter the cards in question
 
Dialga G Lv.X
Shaymin Lv.X
Toxicroak G
Ampharos PT
Tyranitar SF

All with Poke-Body ... and can be counter with my first card.......1 card ca counter all of them...

@ Bippa: Green Zangoose and me are working on our entry from the last round. We are almost finished and I didn't know there was a deadline mostly because there is none.
