OK... guiding my way through a blind meta-game right now...:confused: with GE to come out, not knowing what decks will show-up. I plan ahead, thinking what "may" be used, things that are proned to be fighting weak, but mainly, can't really deal with a pest like Gallavoir. Knowing this, I have decided to compile and start to test a deck, with a 2 GE cards though, but I hope to use this at States, hopefully ensuring me Top4 meaning nationals, but not knowing I hoep to have a decent list. I'd like your input and criticism... but please be constructive.:thumb:

Pokemon: {19}
4 Ralts DF (This is used for sole-purpose, sleep, hoping they aren't a luck sack and get heads, which means starters, such as Phione etc. will be useless, and just a sitting duck. I chose this over SW for many purposes)
2 Kirlia SW (This is the obvious way to go, and also has an added bonus including nice attacks.)
2 Gardevoir SW (This is used mainly for Power, but atatck shutting down powers is not bad.)
3 Gallade SW (The main attacker, being able to OHKO almost any card, this opposs a great threat)
2 Gardevoir Lv.X (Is used for it's "Bring Down" attack, combined with Gallade's first attack, it can get those weak poekmon out)
4 Stantler SW (The starter for the deck, getting a nice set-up, this card is rather my way instead of Furret/Absol)
1 Cresscelia GE (Just used before a Lv.X, though it's second attack may become uuseful once the whole game, getting that 10 HP away from KO Gallade back and ready)
1 Cresscelia Lv.X GE (Combined with it's power and Gallade's forst attack, it can get 2 easy prizes, then just switch back and continue the cycle.)

Trainer: {25}
3 roseanne's reasearch (Used to get out basics/energies when crucial. A good card when needing a quick candy, gallade, DRE)
4 celio's (A main supporter. He is used to set-up for many pokemon, and is pretty good for the deck, getting Gallade/Gardevoir when ya need it)
4 rare candy (Used to get quick Gallade/Gardevoir's out and start OHKOing hopefully, quick set-up)
2 TGW (Used when I really have a bad hand, is a nice addition and can leave your opponent saying ouch...XP)
3 Mars (A disruptive card, and doing 2 in 1 turn with Kirlia can be nice.)
2 night maintenance (Getting back some gardy/ralts/and energies back can become usefull)
2 warp point (Allowing to get a Gardy Lv.X, then able to telaportation back to Gallade, to kick booty)
1 windstorm (Needed, mainly just for Cessation/pesty stadiums)
2 castaway (To get quic energy, celio, and strength charm, nice card, and can really help)
2 strength charm (When you have a DRE, this could mean the differene between a whole other flip prize!)

Energy: {16}
7 psychic (Used for Gardy X, and Gallade when needed)
3 fighting (Used for Gallade only, just if needed and no DRE)
2 scramble (Come back for a Stantler KO)
4 DRE (Used for a quick hit and devastating hit!

Strategy:I basically descrived it above^:lol:

So, I can't really include meta-game as I am sadly not psychic. But I am thinking about a 1-0-1 Queen d line to speed up set-up, watcha think? Thanks for your help!:cool:
~bonsly:clap:
 
Good list, i would say play more windstorm cause crystal beach is going to hurt you bad.

Also, the Cresscelia GE and lvl X arent out yet so you need to provide the card translations for the people that do not know the card (new players).
 
lose the castaway for 2 steven's and swap stantler with absol.
4 mars would be nice
play 6 psychic 2 sp dark 2 basic dark 4 dre 1 scramble
 
Absol doesn't do anything for me, it doesn't set me up.:p
Castaway are useful for crucial KO's with a DRE, I like not having to flip another prize.:thumb:
Oh yea, I forgot, will do!
I'll add 1-2 more.
 
Yea... I was thinking about that. But I do like Cress. I'm going to try wither way if I can. Get the eeling for them. Queen can really get everything going.:thumb:
 
I know... plus I need candy, but mid-game, after NM, it's not bad, getting back and start to set-up again.;)
(Ima test it now)
 
Dont play Mars if you don't use Absol. Play 3 Windstorm. How do you charge up Cresselia? Take it out. If you dont, consider some Premier Ball (gets a Lvl.X from deck or discard)
 
That;s true... hopefully I can use leftovers, and premeir ball (maybe call energy) when GE comes out. Cress can actually be quick on set-up, it's helped a good bit actually.;) No mars? Then I have no draw cards. XP
 
Good point... I was thinking that but oh well!;)
So.... i'm going to test the Queen and see what works better. Thanks for the help so far everyone!
 
I think that 3x Mars and 2x TGW isn't enought to draw out only 1x Windstorm if your opponent's using Cess. Like DWD will pwn your deck 6-0 because if it have 1 Absol whit Cess on front and you have to wait until T3-T4 to take it down Absol have too much time for discard your Imortant cards, the there will come Murkrows/Honckrows to finish the only one or 2 Gallades in few turns and thet's it. so, litlle more draw power, least 2 more windstorms ect..
You'll need only 14 energys if you'll play 4 Roseanne's so you should do energys like this:
4x DRE
2x Scramble/Multi
4x Psychic
3x Fighting
1x Darkness (basik)

Also try Absol SW because it will give you time your self.
 
i have tried a 2-2 Cressilia LvX line as a tech be4 but it doesnt work as well as u think.......not to mention its low hp and weakness...........
 
-Max Windstorms, or else you're screwed
-+Premiere Balls, even if just for Gardy Lv. X
-4 Roseanne's, you need them!
-Get rid of Castaway, you have Stantler
-Change Strength Charm to PlusPower, as they're stackable (If needed for Gallade)

Other than that, I really do like this deck, and it is going to dominate at states!
