Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

The Big Bliss - 5 in 1 - Updated with Variant 5!!!

I really disagree with all the electivire matchups you have.
Blissy won't OHKO electivire so easily, and if you K.O their castform early you might face a scramble afterwards.
Electivire will OHKO you with a pluspower. If he has the Lv.X either attach an energy and then die next turn or don't attach an energy and don't die(uness he has a plus power)
And we also have flygon ex d which you will be having a hard time to KO.
I say it is more 50-50

Thanks for updating the article Dante! I have a some issues with your Blissey and Weavile list, mainly with the trainer cards:


Fist off, if you are trying to make the best possible list or archtype, you don't use Night Maintenance in this situation. You should really list the best option, Time-Space Distortion. You talk about using Sableye to discard energy. Considering that there are only eight basic energy in the deck, the odds of that being the top card is VERY low considering the ones already attached to your pokemon, in your hand, and those in your prizes. So I think you really should be using more TVR to be your primary method of discarding basic energy early game. I think your overdoing it with the stadium discard power. 2 Stadiums and 3 Windsorm in a deck that is not really reliant on Powers/Bodies? I see your point on how Mario may play Lake Boundary, but I could see that changing in the event that Banette SW becomes popular. If you are looking for a Stadium, Drake's Stadium may be better, but I am iffy on that matter. I also think your matchups are not acurate at all. I really don't like the idea of the Skarmory ex, it has no synegy with the rest of the deck in any way. I also recommend two Warp Points since Blissey's Retreat Cost is so bad. I actually have a Weavile/Blissey list in my sig if you want to compare further. Sorry about dissing your work, I am just trying to give you some constructive criticism. I will be playing this deck at a few cities, I'll tell you how things work out and what I would approximate the matchups at. Thanks for your hard work, I am not trying to be mean! I hope I didn't come off that way! :smile:

The deck is still in testing process, thats just the list I started with. I just got SW here two days a go. Be patient and remember that your metagame is not my metagame, here Mario is everywhere :eek:

If I go by your list, that plays x2 Scramble that would be really lucky to have x1 Scramble/Electivire by T2/T3, not only that you also need the Plus Power and another energy, you won't have any time to setup, I disagree with that. I haven't played vs. many Flygon Ex.

Blissey OHKO's things? In all my games with it, unless the opponent has like no pokemon attacking Blissey, Blissey doesn't start OHKO'ing everything. Usually Blissey gets two-hit-KO'd and you have to power another one. Sometimes Blissey can start doing 70-80's to KO low HP basics and stage 1's, but I've never really seen it happen on a consistent basis. Usually, it's the Blissey two-hit-KO'ing things too.
 
Blissy/Lucario can would probabbly defeat electivire, i guess it's 60/40 or 70/30 for blissey.
But other blissey decks are 50-50 or less against electivire. For blissey to do 100 it needs 5 energy and a boost. for electivire to OHKO you it needs 4 energy and a plus power.
 
Blissey vs E-Gon:

Not 80/20

Why??? They can OHKO with Charms and Pluspowers(which the deck does play) and if they go Flygon,it wont be the Hp one,it will be the Ex Delta one which is gonna take 2-3 hits for blissey to try and kill but Blissey will die before then cause its just gonna get one shot,setup a vire then Ko the blissey.

that makes the matchup 60/40

Lucario/Blissey vs E-Gon

not 90/10 more 70/30 or 75/25 cause they can come back,Flygon Ex beast in this area. Lucario means nothing then. Get two turns to setup a Electivire and its come back time. I know cause when I was testing Ive done it and it does happen. Once you get rid of two Lucario,nobody will bring it back up. Blissey would be the only attacker then and Vire can ohko with the charms and ppowers.
 
E-gon? i thought it was moving truk.
anyway E-Gon is the name of Steffen's deck in worlds (Flygon EX LM)
 
hi can you please test blissy - electivire soon!

IMHO RK9 is a 1-1 or 2-2 at most tech in a Blissey that runs Fire energy. Attacking and then only having 60 HP left is a real problem. In Japan they still had Sitrus Berry when Bliss-RK9 was out. That's doable IMHO. But whithout the Berry you have to be really careful how you use RK9. I had him close a game by one shotting a Machamp in testing for instance ... but rarely if ever used him early or mid game.
