I don't see how anyone can like this format. It's an unbalanced speed fest. Gyarados, thanks to these new Black and White rules, is a seriously unbalanced deck. Anything that can pull a turn 1 90 damage, with power lock, is simply disgusting. Heck, it can go as far as to pull off 110-130, depending on Super Scoop flips, Poke Turns, an Expert Belt, and the like. And, they can do that WITHOUT energy.
And, they can abuse Sableye, as well as donk with it.
I have to ask, do you, or anyone for that matter, want a format that, as erik/tinox pointed out, is literally decided by a coin flip? As Tinox said, our game was literally decided by a coin flip. If he went first, he would donk me. I went first, and was able to set up after a couple draw-passes. No game should come down to who happens to win the coin toss. And, really, I imagine there's a lot more games decided by a mere coin flip - something occurring before the game even begins. Sableye doesn't even guarantee a player safety because, if they go second, chances are, they're probably donked, providing two people start Sableye.
Spiritomb doesn't seem to do much either. Starting with just one Spiritomb still doesn't put you in the safe zone. I find that very disturbing. Something that trainer locks the opponent still doesn't guarantee that you won't be donked. All it takes is a Sableye start, and a Collector, which nets them Crobat G, and an Unown Dark.
All the while, what makes this all that much worse is that, whoever goes first, that player can deny their opponent a turn. They have no way of defending against that if they go second, short of starting with a bajillion pokemon. This format NEEDS to go because of that, for it allows this to happen
far too often.
