^ i agree completly.
What i have found "with my basic and some what bad list" is that i clog my hand to much late game to have acess to claydoll
Its very depressing at times but the deck sets up well for me most of the time idk about you

Okay, so I finally got around to making proxies and testing this, as I thought it was a very good idea, and I have NO clue what happened when you tried it, Prime, but I thought this deck was AMAZING, if not the best and smoothest running deck I have ever run. It was very fast and very easy to set up no matter what Pokemon you started with. I played it against this season's main contenders, which even ran DRE and Scramble, which would mean it is probably faster, and it still won without a scratch. I am going to build a Luxray and Kingdra deck to test it on soon, and I will post my results.
Back to back posts merged. The following information has been added:
My list had 1-0-1 Gardevoir to Telepass for a faster setup instead of Mighteyena, but I am considering running both or just Mighteyena.

IMO it's tooo slow and too much work for it to be effective anymore. (1 gatr w 2 nrg, at least 2 new bronzong, 1 backup gatr, 1 claydol...)
DRE's gone, so no more amazing comebacks. Charge nrg on this turn? But then u cant KO the def pokemon~~
I don't think Feraligatr takes too many resources. When I played it at Regionals this year, I only had a claydol or two to fill my hand back up. I would throw in a 2-2 line of the new Bronzong, so I could get out 1 of it, and one claydol and I feel that is all I would need. 2 Feraligatr, 1 CLaydol, 1 Bronzong. Once late-game comes, you almost don't even need Bronzong as your deck is pretty much all energy anyways.

LAM-U, almost sounds like the lamest college ever. I think it's too early in the season for people who haven't played it or played against it to see how much the deck is really worth.
But some people have to test it out to get it to work out really well....
Good luck to all the AMUers.....

Lol at this beating Scorpio. Because of Mime, there's almost no way of hitting Scorpio's main hitters, and if/when you do, all you would be doing in one shotting a Mime at the cost of a lvx with three energy. Scorpio easily KOs UMA's lvxes with only two energy. Either by leveling up, or by using the Venomoth stall method, Pester does 90 damage including poison, and the odds of you having snowpoint temple in play is the same odds of me having a stark mountain in play. You can hit their bench with Azelf, but honestly, vs UMA, how many energy does Scorpio even need in play? Three at one time? Two for an attacking Gliscor and one for a backup Gliscor. At any time Scorpio can play around the bench damage by scooping damaged pokes up, and reducing the number of total energies by doing so. The only threat the deck has is Uxie with three energy, but with the ability to OHKO it at the drop of a hat, it's really nothing to worry about. You'll need some CRAZY tech to beat Scorpio if you are using this deck.

Leafeon anyone?
Leafeon is my tech for everything in here. lol (no idea if it would beat Gliscor, but it should help)
Alrighty then, I can help.
Leafeon - The ability to OHKO Leafeon [ while they were throwing energy to the bench ] was my strength - free retreat back when they bring up a replacement, and then OHKO'ing Claydol / Eevee / random bench card with Azelf was a perfect in-between. It was a close game, however, thanks to a ***-for-tat relationship. It was capable of KO'ing one of my pixies almost every turn, but due to pre-setting the bench, I was able to re-play the pixie in question and free retreat back for another, more appropriate placement. Really close games every time.
Empoleon - It was rather awesome - he had a completely useless set of cards in the Omastar set, and the long and short of it was that he could not get set up fast enough to deal me any major harm. t2 OHKO an empoleon, the next turn I attach to Mesprit and Healing gaze to remove the spread. It was very difficult for him to recover from that point. However, the incredible bench-sniping ability of Emp. X made it so that he could easily pick off one of my in-waiting pixies before moving to really hurt me later, and the spread potential if I can't OHKO his empoleon immediately makes it a heavy threat. I've lost to this deck once, and it was due to heavy prizing on my part.
Magnezone - Blissey: An incredible deck, but the setup takes too long, and the oversized HP doesn't matter when I was able to dump 200 [ at least ] every other turn. Plus, the low initial damage output makes this an interesting matchup. I think if this deck gets set up, I'd be pretty much screwed, care of the auto-paralyze, and the immense damage placed by most of the pokemon.
GG - I didn't even have to really try. GG just can't function without DRE / Scramble. Mesprit LA's attack does enough to cause a lot of early hurting, too. In these games, while they did usually manage to get out a gardevoir, the gallades almost never saw play. When they did, it was a guaranteed OHKO on whoever was up front... but again, the cycle properties of the deck just kept it going irregardless.
Skittles - It was the most fun I've had in a while playing Skittles, if for no other reason than the 'living through supreme blast' thing hurts. A lot. Though the wins are purely dice-based, it takes only 5 energy to OHKO all of my pixies, and it's very difficult to lose two of the same pixie and make an adequate recovery. I think this deck is a big threat for AMU... if it sees play. [ Mewtwo Lv.X would pretty much make the deck cry ].
Weavile / Honchkrow - The deck sets up nicely almost every game. Truth be told, I haven't seen a game with it that hasn't set up by at least t2. Irregardless, the fact that the deck can't exceed much more than 60 damage hurts it - unless it techs Darkrai Lv. X. My tech Mewtwo Lv.X, however, made pretty quick work of this. [ And yes, I do run the tech Mewtwo Lv.X ]
Kingdra - This was played just yesterday, and I only got one game in with it. I was highly [ HIGHLY ] impressed with the speed and reliability, but Mr. Mime thoroughly thrashes this deck and makes set up very difficult [ if they don't get Warp Point out and force me to give him a pokemon he can damage ]. He only managed to take two prizes, again because of the cycling ability this deck has. I was never without all three pixies post setup. However. I think Kingdra is the donk deck of the season.
Thar ya go.
Darth Pika - You really need to stop posting stuff about your awesome secret lists. No one cares, and if all you have to contribute is saying how your awesome list is good and no one knows how to make the deck good, keep it to yourself please thanks.
On the deck. I've played against it 5 or so times. Once with a Leafeon/Cresselia deck I made during Worlds, which was decent, but I got completely blown apart by this deck. The other times were with King/Queen and AMU's speed was just too much for me to handle, adding in the weakness on my side and non-existant + free retreat on theirs. Finally I used Magmortar/Togekiss, and only played one game, but if you can consistently indeed KO 2 pixiesthey are in alot of trouble. It was specially nice being able to target whichever one I wanted.

the only LVX fairy you need 2 of is uxie, simply because you dont want 3 uxie normal. for any deck to work, you need a good list, yours needs work.

I've actually found myself switching the list between 2 Uxie to 1 Uxie and adding an addtional Azelf Lv. X. 1-1 Claydol takes care of consistency imho and Azelf is a much better starter and attacker as well.

yo prime changes to the list to make it playable would be
3-1 for all of the pixies, use 1 mespirit MT and 1 azelf MT the rest LA. no claydol uxie is enough to get the job done
I played against AMU a few times and it can't consistantly get the T2 god blast but it can get it T3-T5. It is an alright deck and has potential but it is pretty easy to beat if you are playing a deck that is at least decent. One of its weakness's is that if you want to tech in a mightyena for the mirror match or mewtwo Lv.X it damages the consistency. As well as that, as I expected, extrasensory and God Blast are the only significant damage it can do, so if you can keep your hand size high you can make it so they can't match your hand size and do 70. Another weakness in the deck is that it really relies on flipping heads on energy pick up sometimes. However I really did underestimate the deck, when 1 pixie X dies they premier ball or TSD it back to the field. With it's easy set up it can get a really fast 200 damage so you have to send up scape goat pokemon if they warp point. I would suggest playing counter stadiums to ditch their Snow Point Temples. In some ways I would see it as a deck that plays it self and in some ways an extremely hard deck to play. The only problem I can see with the deck is that it uses like 2 minute turns and after that it can't really re-fill its hand unless it times the uxie drops right. On top of that, it can be so consistant that it loses nearly every card in the deck by around T10 (might be exaggeration but I mean it drains the deck pretty quickly)
So overall
pros of teh deck
decently disuptive
large damage output
no weakness
sets up pretty quickly
sniping ability
healing ability
decent hp
cons
techs ruin consistancy a lot
mewtwo Lv.X will ruin it
relies on luck sometimes
hp can become a problem
it loses to kingdras swarming abilities
kind of hard to play some times
So the pros over way the cons, but only by a little bit so I would give the deck 7.5/10 but it should have the potential to become a top tier deck in this new Dp-on format

Ive been saying 3-1 of every pixie besides Uxie, 2 of those are good 1MT/1LA/2Lv.X
I guess I be talking to myself.

Pablo, I haven't been posting stuff about my list really. I mostly have been saying that a "good" list should be able to beat so and so deck, and I try to say how it beats it. For some reason someone decided to bring my list into it complaining how I say how MINE works, yet I don't post it. I have already said for the most part how my lists works, but I'm not going to give out my personal techs. I really haven't been going on how awesome my list is, and I have NEVER said that no one knows how to make the deck good. Its NOT an easy deck to build or play, even I have been having a hard time getting the list right. I post what I think the deck should use or have, but just because I don't post my full list, that does not mean that I'm not helping.

In a nut shell, Pablo was saying something similar to
'put up or shut up'
Srsly, you never back up anything you say and all your posts just say things like YEA RITE. YOUR LIST SUX PROLLY. AMU LOLZ AT J001!11!!!
it gets old fast.
edit your sig DarthPika, cool points aren't for you.

Every time I try and back up what I say, all I get is a "I tested AMU and it sucks, this deck can't beat anything" reply. If someone tests AMU and it loses to everything then they DO have a bad list, I have already said how a good list should work but it seems everyone here is so ready to hate the deck that they don't care what I say. :nonono:
Its nice to know that I don't have to resort to bashing people to feal good about my self and make myself "look cool".

Cuz everything you've said in this thread so far is nothing but biased remarks that you can't even back up in the first place. STOP posting useless remarks and maybe I'll actually garner some respect for you, think of that?
I'm not trying to look cool at all. I'm just sick of your constant spam and unintelligent posts, end of story.
Anyways, I'm thinking of teching in 1-1 Froslass for Mewtwo or Mightyena.
