If there was no such thing as a ban list and all cards were able to be used.... think of the decks and strategies that would be created! What deck would you create? Here are a few of my ideas for decks.
Bench Breachers Deck

Pokemon x20
x2 Manectric-EX (Phantom Gate 23)
x1 M-Manectric-EX (Phantom Gate 24)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GOAL: This deck focuses on attacking the opponent's benched Pokemon and quick drawing. Bring out Zangoose and put out a Team Magma's Secret Base for added bench damage, these two cards work well together. Keep Vanilluxe on your bench to constantly switch out their Pokemon and to disrupted their moves.
