Hey all, I was thinking up an idea that could potentially work. I am going to test this out for upcoming tournaments. This is just a rough idea, but I think it could be a potentially cool deck to try.
This Fire Burns
Modified Format
Pokemon: 18
4 Sableye (CG)
3 Cyndaquil (MT)
2 Quilava (MT)
3 Typhlosion (MT)
3 Growlithe (SW)
3 Arcanine (SW)
Energy: 16
12 Fire
4 Holon FF
Trainers: 26
4 Super Scoop Up
4 Celio's Network
3 Rare Candy
3 Roseanne's Research
3 TV Reporter
3 Steven's Advice
3 Buffer Piece
2 Copycat
1 Night Maintenance
Strategy: This deck works by taking advantage of energy and keeping it going the whole game. Sableye is your ideal starter and serves this deck for three reasons. First, it's ability to silence Absol's hand disruption early is alluring. Second, it can stop Pokemon that only have one attack (Blissey for example) for a couple turns. It's also great because you can use Excavate to discard Fire Energy for Typhlosion. Typhlosion fishes energy back from the discard pile. It's also a handy card to use for ERing Water/DRE/Scramble, etc. It's a pretty solid backup attacker that supports Arcanine. Speaking of Arcanine, that's the main card of focus in this deck. Using its Flame Dash power, you can quickly overtake almost anything in one hit. Buffer Piece helps keep the longevity of Arcanine going. Super Scoop Ups are also used to recover your Arcanine after evolving a second Growlithe on your Bench to grab the energy. The thought is to keep the momentum going constantly. Holon FF provides you with weakness protection.
Thoughts and comments are appreciated in advance!
