Sw337 Rogue Decks @ Regionals?

Just curious to know what kind of ideas have been floating around as to different rogue decks surfacing for Regionals.

There are a lot of great overlooked cards on the fringes of the current format and G is now the deck to beat. Perhaps something that consistently beats G and Machamp/GEChamp? Perhaps an unexpected, overlooked game mechanic will be exploited -- like status. Discuss.

Byl, I'm SURE you can come up with a brilliant, game breaking SDDDDDDD. I mean, you're one of the most intelligent minds this game bears, Ness coming after you of course. A 5w337 deck will have to be determined during the tournament though.

Hey Byl,

Rogue Master Mime, Gino, et al have made a huge effort to break the format just in time for Regionals. Such concepts include:

-Porygon-Z
-Beedrill
-Beautifly
-Gardevoir/Gallade
-Tyranitar
-Magnezone

and many more.
 
fighting type weakness? UGH.

I wish that fighting type Toxicroak G is in format right now.... :/
 
figure out how to play DBS (dustox,blazikin,skuntank)and you win, if your opponent cant hurt you how can they win?.... . i think i just heard the format crack lol. >=(takes care of..) blaze>dialga tank/blaze>gengar dustox>champ and with two auto conditions dustox's body protects itself. hows that for a 5w337 deck?

I like your rogue idea, phoenixback4fire.

What about good ole' MARIO.dec -- Lucario DP/Machamp SF? It seems like Fighting is the desirable type vs. Gigas, the deck can run on few trainers, thus making its GeChamp matchup better, and is just all-around consistent.

And whatever happened to Exploud? Paired with power-lock (Mesprit), the effects of his first attack could be absolutely brutal.

I think we finally have the tools to undertake a real rogue coup for Regionals.

Who will stand with me?

Electivire lv x /Mismagius sf with pachirsu and honckrow g.
When facing gechamp, use honchkrow g to grab lake boundary....
it will counter sp decks and porygon z....

For Mario, why not Lucario LA? 1 for 30 to anything, 2HKOs most basics.

Exploud is leet. My LL ran it with Amphy at MD states and made T16.
 
Rage 780: your Electivire/Mismagius/Pachirisu concept is scintillating.
And Brawler -- I think you're right about Lucario LA being the better play for Mario. Its attributes are just so much better.

Gino -- If you're not playing rogue, you're not really playing.
 
4-4 Ninjask decks with 4 Shedinja? At least you guarantee a consistent start... the damage output will destroy you though...
 
A new deck archetype that utilizes Gengar SF and Machamp SF as its attackers in order to crush the competition, which currently consists largely of all-basic (G) and other Machamp decks. I believe it did quite well during the second weekend of State/Province/Territory tournaments. It is one of the tick-marks on the current Rogue must-beat list.
 
wait, i thought the big deck was NaYa aggro?

I've been working on a good Natu/Yanmega list. Way to spoil it. Back to the drawing board.
If someone cracks that list, they will sweep their Regionals (wherever that might be).

Q: hows that for a 5w337 deck?

A: Uh, poorly conceived, at best.
Clearly, you're joking.
