    Ways to Approach the Game

    I usually play meta decks with whacky techs (e.g. Luxchomp with three Expert Belts and Zangoose PL for the mirror, and 2 Looker's to keep the Promocroak away). On the subject of netdecking, skill and meta decks: Netdecking takes the skill out of deckbuilding, but it doesn't take the skill out...

    Sabledonk - math and analyzation

    One small point: Yoshi assumes ~50% chance of having a Collector in your opening hand if you run 4, which is correct for Sableyes, but because you can have collector in your opening hand with no basics, the actual odds are around 40% IIRC. Not a very dramatic change, but it does mean his...

    Luxchomp

    Take out the Ambipom G for a Twins. Twins helps against fast Gyaradoses and can help you make ridiculous comebacks in SP mirror matches (Twins for Cyrus's and DCE? Yes please). I'd also change the Garchomp line to 3-1. A 3-1 Chomp line is much more aggressive in the mirror match, and you run 2...

    The Red Rose Presents: Tangrowth/Serperior

    If you want to go all out tanky with this deck, run the Stormfront Tangrowth: The attacks aren't spectacular, but its pokebody gives it even more healing options, and the status effects of Green Acid work very well with the general defensiveness of TankGrowth. If you want to use Tangrowth as a...

    My Raichu/Pachirisu Mashup!

    Don't use Pikachu (various ones). The HGSS promo Pikachu is by far the best one for this deck, because it can grab an extra Energy, so you have a 50% chance of getting 3 Energies on your Raichu T2 without using any of the other energy accelerators.

    The Last Ride of the Vengeful Velvet Puppet

    What do the excrements of an insectivore flying mammal have to do with this deck? But seriously, take out 1 Energy Search, 1 Expert Belt and 3 PONT for 1 Mesprit and 4 SSU. It's not like the deck needs Mesprit, but you run Judge and Seeker anyway, and it's very annoying to play against. SSU is...

    Vaporeon and friends and Pidgeot Prime

    Pidgeot looks rather broken to me. 100 damage for a DCE is pretty sick, even if you have to discard it, and the "Can't use next turn" doesn't limit it that much, because it can retreat for free and Rampant Wings the active. Speaking of Rampant Wings, 1 Pidgeot and Mesprit in plays means...

    Entralink: New engine idea

    ^looks like it's just a counter that doesn't do anything other than fuel the Entralink engine.

    Tyranitar Lv.X

    Lol yes, getting equal hands is very difficult, with 2 semi-useful supporters that automatically give equal hand sizes (Copycat and Judge), the option of playing your hand down to the right size by yourself, and cards like Spiritomb TM to change their hand size. And would you say getting a...

    Drapion 4 or Weavile G as Gengar counter?

    As a general tech card, Weavile G is better. Drapion 4 is the superior Gengar counter, but it's useless in most other decks.

    Ambipom AND Dragonite?

    Smeargle can Portrait to check their hand for Cyrus's and other useful cards, and if they have a Cyrus, you have the choice between setting up your own Cyrus chain (if you didn't already have one) and stopping theirs with a Looker. If you choose to run Smeargle, run at least 1 Looker's...

    MewSol for states =)

    I'm testing a Mew + SP sniper toolbox ATM, and Garchomp C + Mew for a T2 Dragon Rush is situational, but can be devastating. -1 Celebi (only 2 grass energy in the deck, and the only attack you need grass for costs 1 energy) -1 Copycat (Rarely better than Oak's, especially if you also run Judge)...

    Relic Items

    Like ShuckleLVX said, it wouldn't be that much better than BTS in the current format. Next format, on the other hand, Pluffels and Donphan would be pretty scary with Relic Vase. And no, lostgar is not BDIF.

    BW Cards of pokes that didnt have one in BW 1 yet

    The wording on Sturdy might cause confusion because it doesn't mention preventing the damage, only putting a ton of damage counters on it. I suggest changing it to "When Gigalith has more than 10 HP remaining and would be Knocked Out by an attack, Gigalith is not Knocked Out and its remaining HP...

    Regirock, Regice, and Registeel Poke-Powers (Legends Awakened)

    To elaborate on Yoshi's anwer, Regirock can't be used without the energy in the discard, because it states "Once during your turn, if you have a :fighting: energy in your Discard pile" etc., while Registeel and Regice don't have that clause in the first rule of the Pokepower. Regice is...

    Mag-dial 9 (150 damage/turn:turn-two)

    This looks like a much slower (but bulkier) MewPerior to me, but if you want to run it anyway, take out 2 Super Scoop Up for 2 Junk Arm. Junk Arm helps you reuse VS Seekers to give you more Seekers (or other useful Supporters), and can get Fire energies in your discard for Reverse Time.

    Super Sniper: Mew/Garchomp C

    Crazy fun deck I'm testing ATM. Might run it for BR's Pokemon:22 4 Mew [TM] 2-2 Garchomp C Lv.X [SV-SV] 1-1 Drifblim [MD-UD] 1-1 Mewtwo Lv.X [MD-LA] 1 Gengar [SF] 2 Crobat G [PL] 1 Toxicroak G [PR] 1 Dragonite FB [SV] 2-1 Uxie Lv.X [LA-LA] 1 Azelf [LA] 1 Unown Q [MD]...

    RULES UPDATE: Game two tie breaker changed. +3 Clarified

    ^Unown Q + Expert belt can donk oddishes.... But, I agree. This rule murders a lot of fun decks. Most of all, I hate how they give spread Solrock, Gengar Prime and DCL to play with, and then kill it with the new rules. Spread is Dead. Again.

    Sablock - Masters

    A 1-1 Blaziken FB line does NOT sweep a steelix deck (assuming your opponent is a good player) They can easily return the KO, you can't OHKO a fully tanked Steelix, and when they KO your blaziken, It takes you at least 1 turn before you can jet Shoot again. The Healix variants that are getting...

    2010-11-12 TM Yanmega 098

    I think this might make a great speed/donk deck, but (like pretty much everyone already said) not in this format. The pokebody makes it an interesting attacker in a disruption-based deck. 4 Judges is basically a disruption engine by itself, and with the reasonable damage output of sonicboom +...
