Legacy...A deck that might resemble Mercury, but it isn't anywhere near it =D
Deck Name: Legacy
Deck Creator: Jared Ivory (Krucifier)
First off let us break down A few things;
This deck is very very very VERY hard to master.
I have played with it in 2 of Australia's Premier Events so far, and I have been working on this deck for close to 7 months! I won my CC and my State Championship! I won my CC 2-0 2-0 2-1 0-2 (only losing because I got hit by the consistancy bug) and at states went 2-0 2-0 2-0 2-0, UNDEFEATED! (just so you know we have best of 3 here!) now it has changed again, and it has been regirously tested, and here it is, the format breaking deck, Legacy!!!!

Let us now meet the Key Players;
Holon's Castform
Holon's Castform is...well...A very very good starter, but depending on the deck your are facing it is not neccesarily needed. It can also be used as a double rainbow energy - which can be useful!!
Gardevoir d DS
Gardevoir - used to move your energy around, it also has two devastating attacks, which, when you play right, can be used to finish the game, for example, keep clustering your energies onto it with Psy Shadow (from Gardevoir PK), slapping down A casty and then energy jump, and then when you garde gets enough damage, send it out, KO one of your opponents benched pokemon and draw your last prize!
Nidoqueen d DF
Nidoqueen is in here as a support personal, it allows you to easily search for pokemon, and it has a very good attack! Nidoqueen in this deck, is used to attack mid-late game, when you have 6+ pokemon in your discard pile, so attach them metals and Vengeance away!
Gardevoir Ex d DF
It's pokepower - Imprison, lets you place an imprison marker on one of your opponents pokemon, any pokemon with an imprison marker cannot use any pokepowers or pokebodies - this is key in winning some of your match ups! plus its attack can be very very beneficial!
Gardevoir PK
This is here because of its power, use it right, and you will be able to instantly power up ANYTHING!
Latias*
Latias*, why is it here? because it absolutely CAINS EX's. you can get it instantly powered every single turn with Gardevoir PK!
Wobbuffet PK
This slightly helps in your Flygon matchup, plus it can be vital in taking out EX's.
Mightyena Ex HP
Mightyena is mainly in here because of it's power, Driving Howl, which can be game breaking and very very devastating. It can be used to attack, but it is not reccomended.
Gardevoir EM
This is here, because it can help heal up your pokemon to recover from attacks, or Psy Shadow - Gardevoir PK's Poke Power.
Starmie d DS
This helps in your energy acceleration. that is all it is in there for, it can be a little bit decent attacker.

STRATEGY
The strategy to this deck? well that is a quite difficult question, I don't have a main strategy, I just play with what I draw. but I guess you might want to consider getting a Queen first and then start building up your Garde army.
This deck isn't meant for over powering your opponents, this deck is meant to outsmart them. and by playing with what you draw, hey, they might think they know what your strategy is, but they won't.
MATCHUPS
FLARIADOS
This is one of the matchups this deck has slight trouble against. you OHKO they're Ariados, and Wobb they're Flareons, or just kill them with Garde, as easy as this sounds, you might have trouble getting set up with them Spider Trapping you all the time.
50~50
METANITE
This is one of your most easiest matchups. Just get out a Gardevoir Ex d and start imprisoning all their powers and hit them hard and fast. this is an auto win. even if they use Sceppy.
Autowin
SALLYGROSS
This is another one of your very very easy matchups. Just imprison them to death and then hit them.
pretty much an autowin.
Autowin
RAIEGGS
This matchup can be A tad tricky, but if you save your stadiums and windstorms for the right moment, you shouldnt have much problem. you can OHKO they're eggs and they're raichu's shouldnt be to much of A problem. Just Black Magic them or something. you will find A way. it isnt *THAT* difficult. But beware and watch ypur HP levels closely...
60~40 Legacy's Favour
POLISTALL
This Matchup...is...well...Weird.
Just imprison all their Fossils and their Dugtrio (lolzors) and just keep attacking their fossils. Do not worry too much about Punch and Run, just heal with Garde EM, and keep attacking the fossils, and then attack the toads when they send them out.
90~10 Legacy's Favour
DESTINY
just use Garde PK to get your Latias* instantly powered every turn and this matchup should be easy pie.
95~5 Legacy's Favour
STANDARD MERCURY
Let me hear INSTANT WIN.
you have the advantage of a faster setup, just hit them hard and fast, and failing that, just out power them!
Auto Win
Boiling Mercury/Scalding Mercury/Mercury d
It is an interesting matchup, just shut off their imprison's and use Wobb.
70~30 Legacy's Favour, but be warned, that could easily switch around if you make A bad decision in this game
LEGACY (mirror match)
ummm...whoever gets luckier with flips...and whoever gets luckier with draw...
50~50
FLYGON
this is the very very worst matchup for you. it is very very difficult seeing as all your pokemon have weakness, you have to outplay them best you can, out of 4 games I played against a Flygon deck I won 2.
30~70 Flygons Favour
BANDOOM
this is a fairly even matchup...if you get the right cards...just stall a bit till you get a garde/ex powered and start eating them before they can get fully powered! or just get a mightyena ex active...and do ultimate ownage!!
50~50 depends on draws/setups
MEWTRIC
Ahhh...the good ol' Mewtric, Just imprison their Mews...and...use Wobb or Latias*...and OWN them.
80~20 your favour
Now always keep in mind, that my deck is extremely hard to learn, and even harder to master, so all those who actually might want to try it, don't give up on it straight away!
