Weavile SW + Omastar MD + Mismagius SF = Possible Combo?

I might have invented an underrated combo with these 3 cards. The idea is to use Horror Chant and Primal Swirl to allow a large hand of evos in my opponent's hand, then use Chip Off next turn to rid those important cards from his or her hand. This might sound ridiculous but it gives my opponent 2 major problems--- They can't use Claydol's Power well because of his or her massive hand size. Also, they will face problems using Wager as they will most likely not recover their shuffled cards. In this case, this form of "hand lock" is much better than using Dusknoir's Dark Palm to shuffle bench cards into their deck.

Except that the turn after you primal swirl, they will just reevolve all their BENCHED pokemon. so...

Weavile and Omastar sounds pretty great actually. You might be on to something there.

Hmmm...yes you have a point there but instead of Horror Chant I can use Chip Off instead. Horror Chant is only meant as an alternative.

Chip Off following a Primal Swirl could be effective if the opponent already had a large hand before you put all those evolutions back (assuming their bench had 2+ evolutions of course), but otherwise you probably won't discard what you want to and they will just re-evolve. Wager is the card to play in these situations because it puts them all back into the deck for sure, and if you win they're stuck with 3 cards and no way to immediately recover via Cosmic Power (since Claydol just got the boot).

The other problem with Weavile and Omastar is that neither are good attackers. Chip Off may sometimes have a disruptive effect, but 40-60 for 2 (60 with 2 Special Dark and Dark Engage activated) is nothing major and 80 HP won't last long at all. Omastar is just terrible in the attack department. Now, if you ran something like Tyranitar SF with these guys, that could be something, except Weavile would primarily just be a back-up charger for Tyranitar instead of the focus (because having Weavile as the deck's focus is a bad idea as I've already addressed). You'd just use Spinning Tail a few times and then devolve them, likely getting a lot of KOs in the process.

Back in Spring Battle Roads I played Darkria with Weaville. Once I played a G&G deck,
it was a close game 3-3 and after he had Gardy powered my Oaks visit about 4 turns I threw up the
Weaville and hit him with Chip off with a hand of 17 cards. When I informed him what the attack did he looked stunned.

Then after I discarded the 12 cards from his hand the game was essentially over.
