i think this deck is gonna make it... a couple of modifications and it will surely dominate tourneys... i mean, a resistance to both magmortar and GG decks? tech in a coupls of Unown Gs and you're all set. Shards are seldom used nowadyas anyway so you have nothing to be scared of. Although imo, this deck is very susceptible to card disruptors... for example, TGW. Why not replace Delcatty with Claydol? I get the point that the cards that would be discarded by Sally will be returned using Catty Ex, bu will the game really take that long? Sally OHKOs everything it sees. Using Catty's draw power just adds stuff in your hand leaving your deck emptier than ever... thats just my opinion... :)

=P you haven't seen my list yet i'm willing to take anyone on who thinks they can beat my Sally with ease.

In my top 8 performance with this deck, all my matches were until 10 minutes, except round 6 because my opponent was very intimidated and took about 5 minutes a turn to make sure he was doing everything in his power to stand a chance.

i'm not scared of shards because i'm not going to play this deck for regionals anyways

(reminder, my list looks NOTHING like the one on the first post)

P.S. wager doesn't hurt me at all, it actually helps me

That's a good list, have you tested it? my list gets my set up in t3 how about yours? we can talk about it through PMs if you want more help with it. i'll hint you on something, i actually only play 14 trainers and no unknown Gs

PM me if you want some more further help

P.S. everyone in my area plays GG too and NO magmortar what-so-ever

I think I need Unown because without it Gallade can 2HKO me easily... I will test the list some more, but I havent achieved t3 setup consistently. I will PM you, when I'm done testing. Thanks =)

Quick tip Holon FF doesn't work on EXs
Click to expand...

exactly what i was about to say.:lol:

anyway, i think if you;re gonna run a claydol line, its better to go with altaria ex coz itll help reduce your hand quickly. it takes 2 energies off of your hand in a flash so you can refresh your hand easily. togekiss takes too long to set up beacuse its stage 2 although it is worth it... at least you dont have to worry about anything else... if your gonna put in togekiss, i suggest going with super scoop up as well to take adavantage of its power... its almost useless as an attacker... and, you dont have to be scared of blissey...you can OHKO it anytime of the day :thumb:

I already have a deck ready, i just needed to check and =see if someone shares my opinion:smile:. Finally, something to shut up Gallade. :lol:

Holon FF won't help with an EX, unless you're trying to protect Togekiss.

This isn't to shut off Gallade, it's only here to make the match up easier, it will never consistently beat GG or Mag it'll make the match up a lot better than just 50/50.

if you've read my thread about how me and my friend both top 8 with the same list, you'll notice that i actually got t2 set latest was t4.

If you want help with your list and want to hear my opinions don't be scared to PM me either

Take out Sala PK for 1 Sala DF so you can take down Magmortar with ease.

the problem that i have with running 2-1 sally PK/DF is that if you get the DF in any other match up it's hard to fight with it. With the meta game now, everyone's already doing 80 damage a turn, so if an EX is doing 80 damage a turn it's just giving up two prizes. (i'm a sally lover too so don't think i'm against you) but i think that i'll work if it was straight PK only because PK will OHKO a Magmortar anyways and anything else in it's path
