So I've been away from the game for awhile but I wanted to get back into it with the upcoming battle roads. I wanted to make a deck that would be cheap yet fun and this is what I came up with

Pokemon(10)
4 Durant
3-3 Garbodor (DE)

Trainers(42)
4 Rescue Scarf
4 N
4 Professor Juniper
4 Pokemon Catcher
4 Crushing Hammer
4 Level Ball
3 Giant Cape
3 Random Receiver
3 Switch
3 Enhanced Hammer
2 Cheren
2 Ultra Ball
2 Revive

Energy(8)
8 Metal

Strategy: Get all Durants in play as soon as possible to start decking out my opponent, while locking their abilities with Garbodor and disrupting with cards like the hammers and N

Missed it the first time but you only have 8 pokemon for a total of 59 cards so you need to add one.
 
Dual ball is not in bw on format. This deck will have problems setting garrbordor. And special metal energys are not in the bw format.
 
I'm guessing Chilian is Cheren or Cilan? May confuse some people as Chilean is a name of a citizen of Chile.

Depending on which one that is, I'd recommend bumping the energy count up.
 
Chilians actually....well nevermind, i dont wanna get kicked out the site. It was referring to Cheren though, so *fixed*
 
I'd take out Xtransceiver for Random Receiver. Although you may not be getting the exact supporter you want, its better than not getting one at all when you flip tails with Xtranceiver.

Also, I MIGHT want to change Giant Cape to Eviolite. Honestly, I like Eviolite better but they're overall pretty much the same thing. All up to you.
 
Ya im not really familiar with the cards anymore, i though xtransciever had the affect of random reciever so ill switch that out, but i like giant cape over evolite so that garbador can stand up to raikou better
 
2-3 garbouder? what if some one goes EX balling them with catchers early with a single DCE? o-o

=-=..... and to add on...... you play 6 basics. 6! do you know how hard it will be to start, let alone draw a basic in 7 cards?! xD You have a one in 10 chance of drawing a basic on the first card. 9.83 on 2nd, 9.67 on 3rd, and by 7th you have the highest chance of!!! .........*drum roll* .......... 8.83 out of 100! xD
 
6 basics means your odds of starting with a single basic are 40% and your odds of starting with any number of basics is closer to 55%.

If I recall correctly.

I do think 2-3 Garbodor is a bad idea. You probably want to have two set up at a time, in case one gets KO'd. A 3-3 line is more likely to get the job done. I'd drop a Cheren or Random Receiver for another Trubbish.

As for drawing into basics, the old Durant lists only had 5 or 6 pokemon didn't they? Even if your opponent does choose to draw an extra card at the start of the game, that's one card closer to decking out. Seems like a win-win situation to me.
