Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

canadian worlds secret deck????

i think it was obama (ironically enough)
obamasnow + other random techs
i dont know who grinded in with it or who created it though. supposedlly 3 canadians grinded in

odd none of them played it at the actual worlds though :S
 
most likely bidier j and his team...

and played flygontech on day 2

don't tell me its my dark water deck? anyone see dark energy anywhere?
 
Abomasnow and techs sounds more along the lines of Ontario tech, though the people who I suspect would have played it didn't grind in.
 
If its what Koo / Bidier / Curtis / Bin played then, from what I saw of it, it was Abomasnow, Amphorous, Nidoqueen and Manetric. It didn't quite get any of them to the big show.

As for what was in Genesis's deck, I don't know ... but I do know he wished he'd written out his deck list correctly.

word is the deck was manetric (swarm) + abamasnow + ampharos
bidier grinded in with it
curtis went 6-2 and whiffed by a small margin
matthew (top 16 last year) - not sure

looks like the deck was a success. anyone else know anything about it

it appears this deck got overshadowed by the the french sea serpent...
 
Bidier grinded in with it and it was abamasnow, manetric
Another canadian grinded in with machamp and dexter whos from alberta grinded in with palkia/luxray lock
 
Ahem

I love how every1 forgot about me :frown: ..... o well wat are u gonna dooo

The deck was Manectic Amp Snow Lock (we were gonna call it Obama's Trick - something along the lines)

The deck was built by Curtis and modified by Geneses - - Geneses however did not play the deck, It was only Bidier (who grinded in), Curtis, Matt, and myself who played the deck
 
Coming from our Team I guess I can shed the truth:

The deck was made by Curtis Lyon, our Youngest and raising player, but the final draft used was tweaked and revised by me.

It was in fact -Abomasnow, Manectric, Ampharos, and 101 Queen tech to make sure we wouldn't get locked ourselves.

Anyways 4 out of the 6 of us played it since we couldn't provide the cards for everyone.

Bidier 7-1 ground in but going 1-3 with Flytech (over teched...).
Curtis 6-2 missed by 4-5 spots
Juan 5-3 Lost last round by donk...
Matt Dropped due to donks, horrible 2 claydols being prized and an opponent hitting 4 heads twice with hurricane punch.

Props to Curtis for making us all believe in something that seems so stupid on paper and allowing us to get as far as we all did.

this is pretty much the truth.
myself (curtis) made the deck to ensure a t2 power lock on almost every deck in format. omega prime (geneses) tweeked the deck and made the best list possible

the deck was never supposed to be called obamas trick... :p , it never had a name ftr. lockdown or snowlock would be more appropriate i guess.

even with a fire weakness obama can bank two or three spreads. he sets up with amph very nicely, seeing as if i spread onto a benched luxray, they can no longer bright look.
even though the speedrill matchup seems bad, the t2 claydoll lock kills them. with manetric hitting the search drills, i can sweep with queen or amph.
palkia matchup isent very hard with manetric and cynthias doing most of the work.
every attacker in the deck can abuse upper to maximum potential.

heres the list

pokemon: 25

33 snow
22 claydol
222 sheep
111 queen
1 uxie
1 ditto
22 dog

energy: 13

4 call
3 rain
3 lighting
3 upper

supporter: 9

3 rose
4 bebe
2 cythina

studiam: 3

3 bts

trainers: 10

2 luxray
1 ts2
2 candy
2 night
2 switch
1 warp


we never banked on it becoming a "secret deck" but our results as listed above were accurate.
bidier jing grinded in
me (curtis lyon) - finished 6-2 (whiffing on spots), one of my losses was to someone flipping 4 heads with rayquaza.... (true story)
juan carlos lorenzo - finished 5-3 with two losses too sableye
and matthew koo - dropping out - first loss was to someone rolling 4 heads two times in a row with hurricane punch, and getting paired up with ramparados... the only pokemon in format able to by-pass snows body:nonono:

for the record, we decided for bidier not to risk playing this deck at the actual worlds based on the fact that we feared dialga g and queen techs.
 
WOW! THANKS GUYS.

Definitely a deck worth exploring. It seems like it can even still be a contender for this years format... Hopefully you don't regret posting your list. Why was this an eastern exclusive SD and not shared with all of Canada?
 
i lost to bidier in the 7th round. the list is good but when im playing kinkdra it is that much better. only 20 damage would stay on the board. : (
 
The Pokemons in this deck works really well with each other, i have always started with a call energy and never had anything needed prized. I think if we had longer to work on this deck, azelf would have been in the final drift, but all an all it was a great deck. I normally get set up pretty well, pretty fast.

Also, it was great that Curtis convinced me to play this deck the night before. To be honest, i had no hope for it what so ever, but it turns out to work pretty well.

as for Juan and Matt getting donk'd ... LOL ... really nothing to say about that :D
