Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Machamp Vileplume

^Agree

It totally depends on how you play it and if you know how to play it. A lot of people seem to think it's autoloss against Gengar just because of the weakness but it really isn't. You'll just have a really hard time playing. And yes, building two Machamp Primes against Gyarados is definitely the way to go, Vileplume is a huge bonus which should give you a fairly easy game.
 
This. Is a very decent deck. I don't think this is a deck to focus all the attention on. Its not really a hard play, it can beat a lot of the format. The reason it doesn't as of right now is because all the lists I have seen have been really bad.

This deck needs 4 of this 4 of that, it HAS to have consistancy. If he rans Sage's, that's cool, its a luck card. Id rather run 11 different supporters, but if it worked for him, then super.

I think instead of some people on here trying to build Curran's build, should build their own. Its a VERY easy build to say the least.

This deck has potential, could be a great NATS deck, but this deck is definitly not better than any decent vilegar.

But, in turn, has far worse matchups agiant VileGar and Gdos.

No? It definitely has a WAY better Gdos matchup. It's no coincidence that Curran and Malik both beat a Gyarados. In fact, that's one of the matchups that really would sway playing Vilechamp over just Machamp.

Don't make assumptions you don't know are true.

I test vs a World Champion and consistently play against Masters who are 1800+and have been to Worlds, your point is???

In general, most of your posts are silly and annoying, acting like a top player when you play beedrill g...

Just relax a bit.
 
Where in the world did this come from?

Someone accused me of testing against bad seniors!

I never said anything about bragging by testing with better players.

The players I test with aren't the greatest, but they are NOT the bad seniors he accused me with.
 
your rating does not mean anything, im 1800+, and im not really that good IMO, i just made a good metagame call.

He was saying that vilegar has a better matchup against gyarados than vilechamp, which is very true because there are eight starters that a vilegar deck can have to trainer lock first turn. Vilechamp only has the four spiritombs, which can be moved via regice allowing the gyarados player to set up a couple of turns faster because of vilechamp not being that fast. Gyarados will win a shootout with vilechamp because of its lack of being able to swarm, especially if it gets up early.
 
Decks pretty solid. I lost a ridiculously close match to Yanmega/Umbreon.

General Notes;
-Sage's Training blows imo. You burn through valuable cards and pending on lines you can lose important cards too early, plus when you don't NEED energy in the discard, it's no big deal to not even play any copies of sage.

-Crobat G. Awesome in the deck for beating Umbreon. Take out and flash bite = GG

-Black Belt. Didn't play it but I really like the idea and potential behind the card. You're constantly down on prizes early and Black Belt can take a nasty prize. I played 2 twins and they were both very useful as well.

-2 Seeker is optimal. 3 is best

Just tested some more.

Gyarados was even UNTIL I set up and started whacking it. They can't heal as much as you can so in the end you win the war. Gyara matchup IS in your favor.

I played 3 cyrus conspiracy and I like it alot, especially to search out twins.

I played my NRG spread like this;

5 fight
3 dce
2 rescue
2 rainbow

and I droughted ALOT. Anyone play a different/ better spread?
