Metanite

[jabberboy]

I'm sure most of you remember this deck but the idea is to setup a Metagross+Dragonite and then use crush+burn and discard energies. Dragonite uses delta charge to get lightning energies and metagross discards them and repeat. I haven't played in a while so forgive me if I spell a Pokemon's name wrong:) If you don't know what cards I'm talking about they are the ones from Delta Species. They are lightning and metal. Ok here's my list

Pokemons:

3 beldums
2 metangs
3 metagrosses
3 dratinis
2 dragonairs
3 dragonites
4 holon castforms- can be used as energies+good 4 setup
1 Rayquaza EX- good 4 taking out pokemon on the bench and can do 70 for two energies

Trainer Cards/Supporters/Stadiums:

4 Holon Transceiver- i think i spelled that right
4 Rare Candy
3 Holon Researcher
2 Warp Points
3 Steven's Advice
3 Holon Adventurers
3 Holon Mentors

Energies:

10
4
3 DRE (Double Rainbow Energies)



any help/advice is appreciated thanks!

Um...you know that all of this besides the lightning, the warp, and the candies are rotated out??

[jabberboy]

ya i know that i just play 4 fun

[TheGeneral]

Ashinto - how do you not get this is an unlimited deck? It's obvious

anyways, I dig the deck. Wish I was around for that season ;) looks good tho.

[thekingdo]

What a fun deck that was... Anyway, if I can remember how these cards work... the deck works. But then again... I can barely remember anything from that set. :D

-1 Researcher
+1 Holon Farmer
+1 Holon Scientist
+1 Holon Mentor

This will make the deck more consistent and just incase anything get's
Knocked Out. Also you don't really need so much Lightning if your using
DRE. Either minus 3 DRE or 3 Lightning. With 3 of those out of the way
you can add 1 Mr. Briney and 2 Windstorm and then it will be pretty close
to the exact deck.

Isn't farmer kinda counter productive.

Shouldn't this be in a different forum?
But anyway... No Celio's...?

This is the Deck Help/Strategy section. No rule states you can't post up decks for Unlimited play.

I'd toss in some Pokémon Traders. Help get Dragonite going up faster or trying to pull up another Castform. Also, Broken Time-Space would dramatically help this deck's Stage 2 lines.

[Lord Broly]

And what if your Metagross are knocked out? Farmer is a searchable
Palmers pretty much, It's needed. Also don't forget you can you
Castform as an Energy so that's even more incentive to take out the
DRES.

[wulfboy15]

Might I suggest taking out the Holon Mentors for Pokemon Collectors?
It works just as well but you don't have to discard a card from your hand and you're not limited to basics with less than 100 HP.

[Denjin Hadou]

Instead of Castform, you could go for Holon's Electrode so you can avoid the Castform start.

Castform is a good start. A really good start.

[Denjin Hadou]

That's assuming you're playing against another deck that uses Delta Pokémon. A potential 11-card draw is nice, but take into consideration the limitations of this deck when playing in the Unlimited format.

So a 6-card draw is bad? Especially with a deck that has no formal draw power?

[jabberboy]

whoever said take out the castforms that is the preferred start for this deck. i guess i might try farmer but when ur starting the game u really dont want it idk.

It's a 5-card draw considering Castform isn't a delta type, and that's if you magically have a starting hand of Castform, 5 delta type basics, and 1 energy.

[Lord Broly]

Castform is the ideal starter. The idea is to Holon Mentor discarding
an Energy which is good cause Dragonite get's it back and then to
Attack with Holon's Castform's Delta Draw attack to basicly get a
massive hand and set up. You will almost never have that hand Denji
but it's better to use Mentor cause of the Discarding and it's searchable
by Holon Transceiver.

[Denjin Hadou]

I see. Even so, couldn't the deck be further improved using cards from other sets? I still think the addition of Broken Time Space would be very useful for this deck. Also, instead of Holon Mentor, I think Pokémon Collector could be a better choice, though I guess it would be one less thing Transceiver can pick up. The thing is that Collector would definitely be able to secure three basics.

[thekingdo]

I am pretty sure that this is a non modified deck (Tell me if I wrong here Jabberboy.) Collector would be a bad choice since it won't let you discard.

[Denjin Hadou]

It would have to be since he's using delta Pokémon.

[jabberboy]

yep this deck is non modified. umm taking out the mentors for collectors, i dont think is a good idea because you can holon transceiver for it.
