If I could go back, i'd probably have entered with this. Tests fine.
Questionable cards: Judge/Ambipom/Night Main/Claydol/EnteiRaikouLeg/Lucario/Chatot/Pokemon Communication
Judge I played without testing at all. Decided to play it as I saw alot of Gyarados/Shuppet and Judge seemed like a strong choice. A card I can tutor for to potentially break a matchup seemed good. Worked well whenever I played it.
Pokemon Communication - Obv an amazing card. I cut it when Claydol went. I've heard alot of arguments for this vs Bebe's, but i'll have to test. Again, Bebe's I can tutor for with Cyrus, so perhaps 1 for 1 i s correct. Not sure.
Ambipom - I cut it from my Nationals list last minute. Card allows for a quick win, a response to Garchomp in mirror and can provide a cute out with its first attack. Decided there wasn't enough Luxchomp to warrant it, but at a bigger tournament, its probably needed.
Claydol - I ran a 1-1 at Nationals and a Pokemon Communication. It worked well when I could get it out, but it seemed like a liability too. A point in my setup that could be abused to some extent. I ran an Unown Q to help with getting a stranded Claydol back to the bench without having to waste DCEs, and increase the potential pressure I could apply early on by giving my pokemon free retreat. In hindsight, I wouldn't run Claydol, and would run U-G over U-Q. I managed to beat two Kingdra/Machamp decks without the Unown G, but it would have made my life alot easier.
Night Maintenance - I ran a Premier Ball over this, again to add to faster starts, and apply early pressure. Night Maintenance is back in because I cut an energy, and it helps if you lose material early on. Not sure if it deserves a spot, need to test.
Lucario - Won me too many games, can't be cut.
Chatot - I've seen alot of lists cut my boy Chatot recently. He's my boy, mimic, free retreat, being able to lock stuff up on occasion. What can't he do!
EnteiRaikouLegend - Didn't run it, still not running it, haven't tested it.
Hope this helps.
