Dont anyone think it kinda weird how few top player start posting deck that should be keep a secret......idk

I don't, I think its a great move for a player that would appear to have the same dislikin views of G/G to make this deck. I think Jimmy wants people to see all the options and strategies out there that can stop G/G and mortar.
 
Outstanding contrib, thanks.

If it was me playing this, I'd pull the Super Scoop Ups and put in some switch/warp/buffer... flippy stuff kills me.
 
I'm curious....wouldnt it be better to run Crawdawnt EX over Dusknoir??

Pros:

+ Better attack
+ Magmortar's weakness
+ Bounces into their hand (thus letting you use luxray to bring back the basic rather than shuffling it into their deck)
+ Stage 1
+ Weakness that is hardly played
+ Does damage and not damage counters (depends on what your playing)


Cons:

- EX pokemon
- Retreat cost (Dusknoir you just have to moonlight stadium)
- Less HP
- Non DRE/Scrambleable
- Places damage counters and not damage (depends on what your playing)

Just an idea tho...

Not with Mag it isn't. 100 snipe is bad for Cradunt.

If you run the list like it is but with crawdaunt EX then you will have left over space for techs like a 1-1 dugtrio (CG)...

Example:

-3 Duskull
-2 Dusclops
-3 Dusknoir

+3 Corphish
+3 Crawdaunt EX
+1 Diglet
+1 Dugtrio

Not to mention some of the trainers you could take out and maybe after you changed around the energy count
 
Um... no.

It's called being NICE, unlike some of the ppl here who don't seem to know what being nice is. :nonono:

Ummmm something being too nice is a bad thing..... remember how last year alot of ppl bring up claydo ex as the next big thing to take national? I just dont understand why would u give away a deck that could win regional or even national......:eek: So yea buddy think outside the box for once....
 
Wow...at first, I thought this deck looked pretty random, but it's actually quite amazing. Who would have thought there was a practical use for Luxray? Forcing them to have a bench of 4 and then removing their main attacker in one shot...wow. And Cressy Lv X is always nice for taking prizes...

But yeah, great deck. Hope it takes you far. :thumb:
 
how do you think that?
completly halting your opponent form getting a galade or gardy, it is around 50-50 IMO.

Halting your opponent? I must have missed some cards in the decklist. You limit their bench to 3, which is more than enough for them to setup Gardi and start Psychic Locking you, while setting up more Gardi. I assume the matchup against Magmortar is much better though.

ok, u force them to play a card on the bench, the dark palm...questions?

your assuming that they will constantly get a candy gardy/lade.
 
No, I am assuming that they will be able to set up Gardevoir with enough energies before you can setup Luxray and Dusknoir.
