This deck is aaaaaawesome!!! But it has a autoloss against magnezone decks :/ And in my Nation there so many people play magnezone. But very good idea!
 
I've only given the deck basic testing, but I would be suprised if Mags was a total autoloss. Bad machup? Probably.

I suspect that the key would be to Palkia up their Claydol and KO it early. Without steady draw they will eventually run out of steam unless they run the SF metal search Magnezone and many do not. Poison + Energy remova also puts a crimp in Zone's style. If you take their metal energy out of play no free retreat.
 
Also, Magnezone tends to swarm with powers, so Bronzong can give you free spread in-between turns. The fact that they're not OHKOing without DP Magnezone with 4 metals on it will let the damage pile up. I don't see very many Magnezones playing Pluspowers/Bucks either as the deck needs multiple stage 2s (with Lv.X) out in pretty short notice and energies to the discard pile (Felicity as favoured draw supporter). Unown G can also block the switching effect from Bronzong, thus spreading 2 turns straight.

I'm sure there's something in this format to tech against Magnezone too if you would like to be extra careful... The matchup may be bad, but it's not autoloss by any means.
 
This specific list won the cities in Finland. I also heard there was another Palkia-Roserade winning cities in Germany, but I have no knowledge of the list used there.
 
United States
Dresden, Kansas
Dresden, Maine
Dresden, Washington County, New York, a town
Dresden, Yates County, New York, a village
Dresden, Ohio
Dresden, Tennessee
Dresden Nuclear Power Plant in Illinois

I think the DE is not for "Deutschland" ^^.
 
Wtf thats very mysterious. The dates for the City Championships was showed at the 14.11.08 from Amigo. I think its a Prerelease for Stormfront or Legends Awakening in German. But in some way its named City championship. Thats very strange o_O". I will show it to our headjudge from the Nationals and maybe he can find out what that is. But there are no City championships in Germany yet. (Sorry for my bad english)
 
OK, The only thing I have to say is how in the world do you beat AMU with this. AMU is a far superer deck to this. Im not saying its bad and possibaly could beat AMU, but I am just not seeing it. I can see the Bronzong Md giving it trouble if you can get damage on things that hard to play aginst but Mesprit X (hello no more spread damage).

1. AMU way faster.
2. You said that it has to have sacreficies to get a 200 damage off not true.
3. AMU has a great recover rate and also has very good snipping. Once you have something on the bench with low hp AZELF baby.
4. AMU plays the game with less then 4 energy on board at all times so 1 energy gone from a poke not going to do much.
5. Palkia and moonlight help the deck and Mesprit X one shots it all just as it does every thing else.
 
if you want to you could try 1-1 weavile because you could restructure then once they bring your pokemon up you could dark engage and free retreat your pokemon with moonlight because the pokemon will be dark type.

Who said that he is going to face AMU? And Brongzong MD is just like made for AMU, Speards AMU from live.... OK it's an hard mach up, but i think that people in finland have little more creativity than other places (1 own deck in top 8 (Badganondorfs Absol/Glaceon aka Frozen hope) and other in Top 32 (Dennish Hawks Honchkrow/Absol/Palkia X aka Feather Weight) in Masters in worlds 2008), AMU isn't the only way to win tournaments (neither is Kingdra, or Gengar....)
 
Getting energies removed from AMU is what might cause some problems to that deck. You don't draw prizes from healing, and you don't want to be dealing too small damage, as poison will be doing 20 back. And whenever there's no Azelf Lv.X in play, Roserade can abuse the weakness.

Also, imagine this.

Roserade gets Supreme Blasted. You just lost 2 energies from the field. Bronzong becomes active, 10 to everything with powers, poison to active. I might stay there with Bronzong and Pain Amplifier or retreat for Uxie, which hits 20 and goes under the deck, with Bronzong coming in. 10 from poison, 10 to everything with powers. Not to count potential Spiritomb drop. Next, do you:

1. Heal everything else but Mesprit, spending your attack that way, knowing Mesprit will get KO'd next turn
2. Retreat, get rid of poison, send something else to hit Bronzong (which can't OHKO it, giving it another turn of spread)
3. Throw some heads with Pickup, draw another prize, get Mesprit KO'd and the rest of the field not feeling very lively either.

AMU is fast, but that 200 is not autoplay against energy removing deck to get out 3-4 times per game. For Azelf Lv.X, I'm not sure if there will ever be more than 3 energies on the field at the same time, but if there was, that would propably mean I'm not doing too bad as I've been allowed to charge my pokémon for so long without them being knocked out by a "super-fast" deck.

Sure, this deck doesn't play itself, and if this and AMU were given to 2 moderate players, AMU would propably win at least a first few games with ease. I've only tested this matchup against world champion's AMU list for a few times, but it's not as bad as you would seem to imagine, when both players know how their decks work and can play them accordingly.

And Ra2xse, I'm sure there are such creative minds all around the world, but only Finns are stupid enough to play that stuff in large tournaments.
 
Agreed, i was just too bored... But Potut aren't stupid, only little less comperative palyers.... AMU is archetype, this is an rogue. Archetype can be better deck, but rogue can still win. You can't practice against rogues...
 
AMU won't see too much play because it has such a bad match-up with Machamp and Gengar. And Dennis I might try this for Cities but these are the Pokemon lines I would probably use if it helps you at all

Pokemon(23)
3-3 Roserade (SF, SF)
2-2 Bronzong (MD, MD)
2-2 Palkia Lv. X (DP basic)
3-1 Uxie Lv. X (LA basic)
1-1 Weavile (DP, SW)
2 Unown G
1 Spiritomb
 
Just a quick question. Does "spider-man's" effect apply after moonlight stadium? cause if it does, all dark and psychic pokemon get one retreat, hampering the deck.

Otherwise awesome deck. Solid, broken, strategic, broken, red face paint, broken, and more broken.

(The good broken)
