What does the current enviornment look like in the Pokemon TCG? Blaziken variants, you say? *GASP!* What a surprise! A lot of you are sick of Blaziken, right? Well fear not! I, SuperWooper, am introducing a new archetype into the format of the near future. This deck will make all Gardevoir deck players tremble, cause every heart of the Aggron EX/Wailord player to beat with uncontrolable fear, make the brain of every Amphy EX player scream, "Piece of cake!" If you haven't figured out what I'm talking about by now, you're an idiot. Just kidding.
This deck is made for the EXon or RSon or NINon format, wherein Expedition-Skyridge have rotated out (no more Oracle, so don't even think about suggesting Delcatty), and Blaziken decks will be dominating everything that breathes. This deck may seem the have the disadvantage at first, but I guarantee you that I can go toe-to-toe with just about every deck that I'll play once I have this deck near-perfected. If you don't belive me, we'll play unlimited sometime (or modified when this deck comes out), I've lost only once with a RAIN DANCE DECK:
Pokemon: 20
3 Squirtle
1 Wartortle
3 Blastoise EX
2 Aqua's Spheal
3 Aqua's Walrein
2 Feebas
2 Milotic
4 Dunsparce
Energy: 22 Water
Trainers: 18
4 Steven's Advice
4 Archie
4 Rare Candy
2 Switch
2 Warp Point
2 Pokenav
I considered using this deck with Dragons Magneton and Energy Draw Delcatty, but in the end, decided on this. The Milotic idea helps so much early game once you've mass rain danced (or whatever the new power is called) onto an Aqua's Walrien. I don't think Aqua Energy is worth it, and until I see the ruling on Aqua Belt, I won't be using it. Steven's Advice is as broken as it gets in this deck. You thought it was good w/ Furret? Hah! Well you're right. But with Blastoise, you Rain Dance all the energy onto Walrein, getting rid of three, four or rive cards in your hand, and then Steven's Advice, which is a Birch but for seven cards. There's a high probability of some being more water you can Rain Dance for even more damage fun. Since the new Rain Dance does damage, Milotic's power will heal all the pokes in play, which works great for you, since you'll be doing mass damage to yourself in order for this combo to work. However, since Aqua's Wailrein isn't an EX, I think the trade-off is a very good thing to look at when choosing a deck for the near future. I thought 22 Water Energy was the perfect amount: it's near how much I played w/ g8r and my old rain dance. The Warp Points are great for getting rid of Rayquaza.
Now onto the deck's weaknesses: Muk EX and Amphy EX. That's basically all. It stops Gardy because all the energy goes back to your hand after you attack, reducing the damage Gardy/EX does by about 40-60. Since Desert Shaman is gone, all I have to worry about for hand disruption is Absol or Skarmory, which any of these pokemon take care of in one shot. Well, the evolutions, anyway. If you need spoilers ask and I'll post them.
Please post if you only see one teeny tiny little thing wrong with the deck, I want this to be in tippy tippy top shape for whenever the next set it released: it will have Milotic and Stoise EX, and I am so stoked about this deck, since it doesn't rely too heavily on EX's and I think I will do really well with it.
I guess that the soon-to-be-current format won't be so unbalanced after all...
Thanks so much for reading and remember to please post your opinion/fix. I really appreciate anything you'll post here, even flames! No, seriously, if you think the deck is that bad, flame me, bash me, do whatever. Just be ready for a Mirror Move.
