If you scroll down a bit past the rocky helmet and druddigon you'll see vanilluxe and durant. If anyone have seen these before and know the translation please post and I know people might not be able to translate it already coz is kinda blurry, but if you can cool.
 
^And if you scroll down farther, you see another batch of cards with toys and a Haxorus. Interestign lookign stuff, Durant looks awful, Vaniluxe has at least a 2 energy 60, which isn't bad, thoguh won't be winning nay awards. First attack better be the sweeter half the double scoop.
 
Vanilluxe has 40x so it really depends times what it is. If it flips, its bad. If it doesnt, its still probably bad.

Beach has the full translation of Vanilluxe... Victini/Plume/Vanilluxe anyone?
 
Durant's attack only costs one energy and it isn't hard to get a full bench of the things. If you swarm them on turn 1 and load them up with Evolite and Special Metals (and keep reviving dead ones), what are the odds of being able to deck your opponent before they can completely wipe out your Durant army?

^Unfortunately not so good; while it's easy to setup you'd have to discard some really key cards to pull off the win. However, I have to say I love the idea and I'm sure I'll play it for league for awhile.

Slim. But Ill make a note to try that next time I play a draft with that edition :lol:
 
93,75% chance of Paralysis. Double Machamp still screws this over but everything else is pretty much trapped.

Question is, do you want to play Plume to prevent Switch? On one hand it seems good, on the other, you cant use Catcher to lure in different Pokémon and spread the damage, while maintaining the lock.
 
You could play a disruptive build...maybe even using reuniclus and teched psychics for the champ matchup?

Ionno yet...

I just know the card is broken on surface value, whether actual application proves that to be true or not is for time to tell later...
 
Average of 40 damage. Lawl. Correct me if my math fails, but average of 60 with victini (y/n?) I know thats wrong, but it's still terrible. 1 SSU = lol
 
I can't wait to play Durant. Maybe add in Steelix or Cobalion if I need a few prizes. But swarming multiple Durant with Defender, Eviolite, Revive, and Sp. Metals will be so much fun. :lol:
 
yeah durant disruption looks very interesting if you can survive long enough. you can setup the discard 4 cards each time turn one. so turn 0 they have 47/60 (hand/prizes) 4 discard + draw 42/60 by turn one end for both of you min, then 37 for another 4 + draw, by end of turn 3 they are at 32/60 in deck if they aren't putting cards back in, and turn 3 is around the point the first one dies.

wonder if we could combine it with KGL somehow

Like I said, Revive. Puts Durant straight back onto the bench. They aren't going away unless your opponent shuffles your hand while one is in there, or until you run out of Revives.

Also, Defender and Eviolite. Yanmega will have fun tearing this deck to shreds.
 
^How do you deal with a Durant being prized? Because that will screw you over. I was thinking Alph Litograph + Rotom + Switch. The deck isn't exactly tight on space and it's seeming like the only way to pull it off T1. One of these things will be prizes like 1/4 games or something, provided you start with one.

Depending on how techy you want to get, I also like Weavile to discard their Judge/PONT or whatever they have in hand to shuffle back in.

I have thread on Durant right now. Trust me, there is LOTS of open space in the deck. Whether you want to ALPH + Rotom or have something take prizes, it won't be a problem.
