Good AMUs play 1 of each Lv. X lololol.
Also, AMU beats Aboma so easily that it isn't even funny.
Could AMU be the new best deck?

my AMU plays a mix of 2-2 and 3-1
Azelf for example, almost has to be a 3-1 line. you need 2 time walk azelfs for consistent set up but you need one azelf mt for any mirror matches (and to mess with many other opponents). you get caught in a mirror match where your opponent has downer material in effect and you do not, it is pretty much an autoloss.

AMU's matchup with cherry bomb is probably 40/60 AT BEST. All I need is 2 Cherries for a OHKO to everything which is easily obtainable T2-3. I've played against an AMU that set up everything T2 (all lv.x's) and I still beat it 0-2
This doesn't really pertain to anything, but I think you'll be seeing more Mesprit X techs in the near future ;x

2-2 mespirit. since mespirit is usually the main, active attacker it is also the one most likely to eat a counter attack and get KOed. the ability to make a second mespirit lvl x without fishing anything out of the discard pile is fantastic. getting two mespirit level x in play can be game changing, and not just because of consecutive supreme blasts. mespirit's free healing attack is woefully underrated - but it doesn't heal itself. using the two mespirits to patch each other up (when the time is right) is terrific and keeps one from hemorrhaging cheap prizes. mespirit mt's upper material is essential with palkia lvl x/restructure, even with running 4 switches. mespirit mt is also valuable in that it doesn't have a poke-power, even when levelled up, which makes it a very hard target for gengar or bronzong. if i see gengar or bronzong coming i actually level up both mespirit mt and azelf mt while uxie lvl x (who unavoidably has two poke powers) is the recipient of unown g.

I don't know where you buy cards then, because I got my Claydols for a LOT less than I got my Lv. X's when I ran AMU. An ideal AMU needs 2 Mesprit X, 1 Azelf X, and 2 Uxie X. I found that running it with only one of each made it reallyyyy hard, and closed my options when I ran it.
It costs money, and Mesprit Lv. X is only valuable to other AMU players when you are done with it, so it's hard to get rid of after you're done with it.
It doesn't win a lot because there isn't a lot of turnout for it. Why should I spend all that money on a deck when I could run one I think is better for a fraction of the price?

I think that Pixies are more viable than they're given credit for, but they're not BDIF.

I'm sorry, but your AMU isn't as good as it can be if you play 2-2 Uxie. I guess 2-2 Mesprit is acceptable (though, i would never even consider running that myself), but if you run 2-2 on the others.... Well that is just something that has to be changed.
2-2 Uxie is the 2-2 line that makes the least sense.

>_>; I don't. I don't agree in the least, and I'm doing fairly well this season. [ Granted, I haven't played much, but I haven't failed at any tournaments yet. ] 2 of the Lv. X's is a waste of space. It hurts your Premier ball usage, it bogs down your hand [ a real problem, especially if you're using Uxie engine. Early game holding two Mesprit Lv. X and two Azelf Lv. X is retarded ]. Two Uxie Lv.X's is pointless as well, since you can't use both of their powers.
3 - 1 Uxie
2( LA ) - 1 ( MT ) - 1 Mesprit
2( LA ) - 1 Azelf.
At least, that's the way I run mine. Of course, I have other pokemon as well, but that's my static AMU line.

First off what is an AMU deck? If I knew the baisis of it I might be able to give my opinion.
Back to back posts merged. The following information has been added:
Okay now I see. If you are using a AMU deck you should put in pleanty of call energy. a few hard hitters and energy restore, call energy cause if you're playing with all the Lv. Xs You can use Call Energy on them as well. But my opinion is if there is a popular deck in the Championships go against the grain. In other words make a new deck to counter the popular ones. For if it is popular then you know full well what you will likely be up against

2 Azelf X is an OBVIOUS misplay. The 2 Uxies are just for consistency, to help get it out faster so you can get out all the Pixie X's with its draw.

Call Energy is possibly the worst play in AMU there is.
You can't use their coming into play Poke-powers, which are part of what make the deck so good.

Ill right now its a fluke but after Lv MAX comes out it could be played more and maybe by the smallest chance be a world winning deck.
I play a unique version of AMU and HATE Dusknoir matchups...
To comment on the Oregon Metagame...I just moved up to washington and there really arn't any Machamp or Gengar that I've seen, but honestly, even if there were those decks never posed an issue...at least for me. But all the same, I believe very strongly that AMU is a deck with very high potential; you just have to know how to run it and actually THINK through things. I just take my time and utilize every card I have to its fullest potential. It's not very hard to get the setup going unless you run Leafeon, and even then it's not all that bad if you know what you're dong.
But anyways...now Ima sit here and wait for responses :3

Thank you for your great post. You set a great example seeing that your a Mod here. I'm surprised they haven't removed that position from you. But what do I know right?
On topic, AMU is still a Tier 1. It doesn't make as many top cuts or wins because it's not as highly played as some of the "better" decks. Two or three AMUs are almost always played around here with at least one making top cut every time.

So, because he's a mod, he has to explain everything he says? Or does he have to be proper, and not voice negative opinions? Saying a mod can't ever be negative, or has to explain everything, is stupid. It's censorship without reason. Negativity is an undestroyable force in the world, and cannot be censored. He is not required to explain himself, either. He simply said his piece, and left, and it's foolish to criticize him for that.
