So basically amu is a donk deck or a T2 deck
Have you even TESTED Kingdra? Its overrated but for a good reason.Also, Kingdra is such an overrated deck that I doubt it'll win anything besides a few BR's.
I already wrote a little story about the fairies...
"I don't think people even know what the fairies even do. One of them has a power that lets you draw until you have 7 cards. If you don't' think thats great then please stop. If you play it right, you should draw about 3-4 cards. Just for dropping it. Another locks powers. t2 claydol? ha, try t3. Another one looks at all of your prizes (helpful infomation) and lets you grab a missing fairy and add it to your hand. The lvl Xs are even better. Auto-pokedex? Thats great with no drawbacks. No weakness for the entire deck? (btw answers gardy). I don't get where people think that 90 hp is low. It is enough to surive a hit from alot of guys. Azelf lvl x answer the sniping problem. Don't forget about the MT ones. Free retreat helps set-up lvl Xs. Slowing down starters, combined with no powers, is just amazing. Also shutting down a hit when damaged (kingdra really only has one attack for a long time) can break a game. Oh, and we completely forgot about attacks. 200 for 2 is great and all, but theres even more attacks. 60 for 2 is very solid, even with the need to retreat next turn. The other fairies attack is okay but I don't see it hurting that badly. Two of the fairies hit for 20 damage and good effects t1. The MT ones are more for disruptive purposes, but they are very solid (t1 prevention of call energy? 30 and auto-sleep to prevent starters?). The deck is about disruption as much as it is about speed damage."
I haven't tested the deck (or any other deck for that matter) but on paper, it looks extreemely fast and disruptive. Also, kingdra is overhyped and not that great and Plox will die off severly next season due to the lose of speed.

You're forgetting that Psychic Lock is possibly one of the best attacks in the world and combined with Gallade and Gardy lv.x is still possibly the most hard hitting deck in the format.

I think we all know that theoretically having a good matchup doesn't always amount to success in a real game. Just look at the Yankees every year since 2000

Ummmmm First kingdra's maximum damage isn't 60 it's as many water energy you can get in your discard. Also it's not 60 it's 60 and 20 to 1 benched guy which adds up really fast if you keep using it every turn. And when you swarm with this attack while powering up your first attack makes the card deadly.
The problem is Pika, GG might have a bad matchup against AMU, but AMU wont be the biggest deck next format. GG can still be a contender, although I scale it in on Tier 1.5 to Tier 2, rather as Tier God it is now.
Ok. So, basically you're telling me that a Kingdra player is going to rely on doing 10 damage x the number of energy in the discard to win games that go beyond turn 3? I see the swarmability (is that a word ;x) of Kingdra, but it's damage output isn't great enough to be a contender IMO.
So Plox teches in 1-1 Mewtwo Lv.X for AMU. Where's your God (blast) now?
I know you have 4 Warps, but Mewtwo Lv.X seriously ruins the deck, and you don't even have a good counter for it.
