LOOK At the last page for updated list!

Introduction: So, as I was sorting through my cards one day, I came across a card that benefits from being poisoned. That card is known as Muk (PL). I thought it would be a good idea with some other healing cards and an auto-poison card, Most eveyone knows about Skuntank G and Poison Structure. and so I found that one of the only problems was Dialga G Lv.X. That is when I looked to Arcanine. 2 Energy for 60 and Dialga G Lv.X has 120 HP x2 weakness to (R) [fire]. So this deck really came together quite fine.

Ideal setup

Nidoqueen Benched with 3 energy on it
Skuntank [G] benched
Claydol benched
(Azelf if needed) benched
Arcanine with at least 2 Energy benched
that is about it

Strategy

Muk uses Strange Sludge !!! 70 + confusion and poison (usually)
Muk finally gets KOed after healing (2 after opponents and 3 before opponents)
Use Nidoqueen, ruthless tail!!!
I can probably make this article a lot better but...

OMG SRY I ALMOST COPIED THIS!
BTW good idea and the arcanine is a great thought too but i did mine with mightyena which i think
is just as good nice deck though :)
 
You may want to add a Broken Time Space or one other stadium here. You could probably take one the lone Upper Energy for that. You just don't want to get stuck with your opponent discarding all your stadiums and making Skuntank G useless.
Maybe change the Switch to a Warp Point to disrupt and poison your opponents bench-sitter.

Otherwise this looks like a really solid deck. Nothing really stands out at me. I might even give this a spin myself :lol:
 
-2 Rare Candy (you only have 1 Stage 2 in your deck)

+1 Galactic HQ (if you recover yourself it would not be a problem)
+1 Warp Point
 
Uhh, rare candy because if I don't have Nidorina then can't do anything. If I only have one it will be incredibly hard to draw.
 
i have a list like this but i use a mysterious treasures nidorina instead of a rr one but it is your choice. this is an AWESOME LIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
It's pretty good, if a bit hard to get the whole setup going. I would run more stadiums, since your whole strategy focuses on you and the opponent being poisoned. To get poisoned, you usually use Skuntank G, unless for some reason you have to flip for poison from Muk's first attack. What if your Skuntank gets Sprayed? You don't run any Poketurns or Crobat Gs and so I think Power Locking is your only problem, but otherwise a good deck.
 
Yeah, most of my decks (since you don't know me) revolve around powers and or bodies. So most lose to power lock or gengar or dialga g. But yes, it is good. I use Nidoqueen usually once Muk dies. And then Arcanine.
 
Well, I know from experience that this deck is consistently powered up by turn 3 at the latest. lol It's pretty good overall. But, yeah, it loses to Dialga G and Plox.
 
Hmm... This deck isn't bad. Muk isn't affected much by the presence of Dialga G LV. X as, say, Mightyena is. I would strongly suggest finding room for an Unorn [G] or two, because Blaziken FB and Gengar are strong presences. I also suggest dropping Pokemon Contest Hall (as it can SP Pokemon runover you faster than you can run over them, though I can see the need for some kind of way to get Leftovers out) and Speed Stadium for an extra 2 in any combination of Moonlight Stadium and Broken Time-Space. With Moonlight Stadium, Switch isn't really necessary, and with BTS, you can drop a Rare Candy.

Have you thought about replacing the 4 Poke Drawer + for 4 Poke Blower +? It guarantees that you be able to drag up Dialga G LV. X to OHKO it with Arcanine if it comes out to ruin your fun. I would suggest 1-1 Luxray GL LV. X, but there's quite a few Pokemon needed on the bench for those spots. I prefer Houndoom G to take Arcanine's place because it's quite a few evolution lines in your deck, but that's just me. With only 3 Stadiums in a 60 card deck (and at least one could be prized), I suggest making room for those Stadiums or Honchcrow G to search them out more effectively.

Well, that's my preliminary observation. It does have potential.
 
Yes because arcanine corrollates with the idea of hit and heal and
it takes 2 energy. It can also do tons of damage. ProbAbly moonlight and bts. But keep speed at least. And i might try to Add marley's but I have no idea.
 
Hm. Yeah, maybe lose a switch for Moonlight.

I dunno. You usually beat me with your current list anyway.
