Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

ABSOL G: "Community SecretDeck" #1

Drifblim just might be the awesomest card out of SV. Just KO'd Uxie and Azelf, and discovered that Lucario GL turns that into a OHKO. I also got really lucky with Dark Burial, and she lost a couple key cards early on.

Nobody's playing Palkia or Luxape today, though, and I wanted to test against those. I think Palkia would have been a fairly bad matchup, anyway. Power lock doesn't go over well when most of your early game revolves around them.

I'm afraid we may have stumbled onto the next Toolbox deck, though. Seems like there's something I could fit into here for almost any occasion.

And Leagues wrapping up, just have to mark down points and things are over until Monday for me.

So as of right now, I have it 4-1 (Rematched Manectric guy) with the only loss to something that was a bad matchup to begin with.

I'm not sure about the Palkia match up, I mean, if you can get out Drifblim early, they're going to thin twice about dropping those pixies as everyone is a free prize for you(Assuming Lucario GL, but one Roseanne's solves that)

Also, if you go second, then you might have a huge advantage if you can get a strong start going/Power Spray that first Mesprit drop as then you could start using Dark Burial early on and hope to drop off that Lv. X/support

EDIT: How's the next toolbox bad? Unless you mean everyone will play it....

Alright, I'll go to my League on Sunday with an edited version of my list and I'll see how I do. Nice record by the way, that's awesome for a prototype

yeah... that was me. made a deck to do nothing but mill. it also runs 4-4-4 Rhyperior. if you get it going it wins every time (which is about 65-70%) the rest of the time it tanks horribly. It's a fun deck to run, but i don't see it being top tier. cool to deck someone in 9 turns or less though :)

We discussed Luxray earlier on, but it seemed the idea wasn't really popular as you had no "big" hitter, and not much more after disruption

I laughed out loud when I saw the deckname "Absolutely Lost"

That got my attention immediately!

Too bad it's not short and three or less syllables. Those are the names that catch on.

"I'm playing ______________ ."

I'm gonna call mine (whenever I build it) ... DUMP TRUCK

If I find a way to throw the opponents entire deck into the LOST ZONE..... I'm calling that deck DUMP TRUCK.

So, if I try your list astan.. and it works... it shall be dubbed Dump Truck (LOL!)

The name wouldn't reveal the cards or the strategy.

MACH - You're Playtesting info was AMAZING! I think you just spearheaded "Dark Rush 9" ... I'm going to post it, give you credit and then move the list to Deck Help.

I wish I could shorten it, but then it would be cold Absol, as that is the only sense I can make out of the 2 words with making sense. But sure, go ahead, dumping all cards in a place your opponent can't reach is nice 2.

so is this the deck list so far?
 
The list in RA's first post is a list of all SUGGESTED cards that would work well with Absol G LV.X in general. It's not meant as a deck list for as far as i know.

4 Spray and 4 Mesprit together make for poor set up. Dusk Ball is also bad without its own engine. I suggest dropping three of each for two SP energy, one basic Dark energy, an Azelf LA, and one more of each supporter (not Cynthia).
