Sadly, I will not be playing at Nationals this year nor will a few of my friends. This is a deck I randomly came up with as I always do. So far in testing it has done very well. My worse nightmare is an early N, but oh well. Here is the deck, if you have any ideas and tweaks or a comment about the deck as a whole, feel free to reply.

3 Lugia EX
4 Deoxys EX
3 Yamask NVI 44
3 Confagrigus(KO ability)
...13

4 Plasma Energy
4 Double Colorless
4 Psychic
...12

4 Prof Juniper
2 Shadow Triad
2 Bianca
...8

4 Bicycle
4 Random Receiver
4 Colres Machine
4 Plasma Ball
3 Ultra Ball
3 Switch
3 Pokemon Catcher
1 Scramble Switch
1 Max Potion
...35

This is meant for an EX heavy environment deck. Basically the deck boilds down to utilizing Cofagrigus six feet under ability while combining 4 Deoxy's EX ability. It will do on a perfect occasion of 190 OHKO all of the ex's that are a threat in today's format. Scramble switch is for clutch plays involving Max Potion. Lugia EX will take some damage after T-2 3 prize swing. A simple scramble switch with Max Potion could save you in a tight situation.

So there you have it, a very simple strategy that is very efficient. Please feel free to recommend fixes or thoughts on the deck as a whole.
 
Yes, my original list did actually have life dew and 4 recycle. I was talking with Cyrus about it, but I felt that running life dew and having to throw in recycles took up a little too much space and lower consistency and created dead hands and a slower start. Overall that's a good idea and if your playstyle of the deck is a slower paced style than your suggestion would work great.

On a side note for all, Life Dew seems it was made for Confagrigus.

In testing, it beats an EX heavy format. My only fear of this deck is the early N my opponent will play after I take 3 prizes on the 2nd turn. That can cripple me. I did have a problem against Landorus/garbador/tech's. I did however win utilizing confagrigus as the attacker.

What do you do against Klinklang?

This deck is meant for an EX heavy enviornment. I have not tested the matchup...but I would imagine confagrigus is the correct play in in this matchup. Still, a rather hard and dare I say almost unbeatable.
 
He don´t know, I made this combo since March, lol I´m Portuguese course I tested in Playtcg 5 or 6 times, and is what happen, people have some ideias, I will not put her my list here, but I have 14 Supporters, a Starter and a Tropical Beach for N´s but since you kill COfa the prizes count will be 4 for your opp, and you will draw 3 and turn card and 4 for your opponent when he N´s, and I put the game over on 3 turns, so I would like to know I you gonna do it since like you said is your ideia, I will apriciate a better explelnation of this combo deck since I don´t know mutch about him from your hands, what is the worst Match-up, the pros and cons, all that stuff, what you do when you face Thudnurus-EX? Sableye donking Yanmasks, Hammers discarting DCE and Plasmas...

Its really hard to understand what you are saying here.

Hard matchups are;
Hammertime decks
Garbador Varients
If I don't go 1st Thundurus decks.
...that's about it


Favorable matchups
Any ex based deck(basically the format)


Too say you built this 1st is silly, the deck has been out there for a while. I just posted the list of my perception of how it should be. I do agree with Tropical Beach though, in testing it is great vs N.

Here is the ideal strategy for those that did NOT read the cards text. T-2 evolve into confagrigus, play a colres machine and attach a double. The previous turn you attached. Ko confagrigus placing 3 damage counters the pokemon you want to ko. With Deoxys ability you will be grabbing the magic numbers. KO their EX and take 3 prizes, wash rinse and repeat. Obviously this is the ideal situation, but from time to time it won't work. I'm currently working on the list while taking into account N's and Thundurus starts from my opponent. I feel Hammertime no matter what just takes the cake. Throwing in a couple of Tool Scrapper could solver the Garbador situation.

Is never silly, is out where? I couldn´t find it lol, the rest, it´s easy to beat it, the surprise factor you killed post it here, just that.
 
There is also 1 Confagrigus (NV) whose first attack, Damagriiigus, moves ALL damage counters from 1 of your benched Poké unto the defending Poké. I would think this would be a great weapon in your deck's arsenal too, especially since your deck will need "some" time (assuming you are not consistently getting a "miracle" hand t1) before you are attacking, perhaps by t2 (or do you attack t1 with Deoxys?). Thoughts?
 
This deck is to win in 3 Turns, making OHKO on t2 and t3, on first turn you have to make sure you have 2 Yanmasks, 2 Deoxys, and Lugia, turn 2 make the Cofa KO and put DCE and 2 Plasma on Lugia for KO and 3 prizes, just that, that was a Rogue and people don´t put rogues on forums! Isn´t anywhere like Vegeta said, so If you are good on Mat, you have to deal: 60 damage with Cofa, 240 with Lugia and plus 40 or 60 with Deoxys since the overall of HP is 170 or 180, in 2 turns and game over. Is a Rogue and I will not explain or reveal my list on Foruns, this one never should be posted is my opinion.
 
What is your problem? Exposing a format in which I am not playing is NOT wrong. Stop with superiority, its unbecoming of anyone. My math is very accurate, as is my list. I'm posting this deck, like all my decks that I sometimes post is for fun and the exposure of the format.

I will be updating my list shortly.
