Top Teir Decks?

[Ignatious]

The archetypes will continue to change.

The fact is, they have to change for the following reason:
TRIPS

Regionals didn't give out trips. This year, trips are harder to come by. If Regionals gave us new decks (mewtric, flariados), you can bet your boots GCs will too, because trips are on the line. Players will have new and awesome decks to bust out for the GCs, and they'll win- and the metagame will once again shift during GCs and for Nationals.

It's also interesting to see the disparity in regionalities for the US. West, Midwest, East, Southeast all have very, very different metagames. Entire archetypes are non-existent almost.

Rocklock, at least in the east/southeast is 100% dead. I know it's played in the west a little, and perhaps a tiny bit in the midwest.

...nicly said...

tier 1 is SparceStall! lol

Vergel makes a great point: your metagame now defines your local tiers more than ever. What may be a safe bet in one region is a dead deck in another. I'll give some examples of (typically) regional-exclusive decks...or at least in decent quantities:

-Midwest: Lunarock
-South: Dragtrode
-Northwest: Muk/Weezing
-Southwest: Dustox ex
-East: Typhlosion

Decks have evolved so much that it seems like each region is practically its own country now.

Wow,that is true huh :X

Well, why not throw Meganium into the mix.

I still think VenuBliss is THE play in the Northwest.

Blastoise isn't played too much and Cham is only played by a couple players. Other than that you should have autowins v. the big archetypes (RL, Pow!, Queen, etc).

All-in-all I wouldn't even worry about deck tiers other than the people you're going to face at your GCs. Throw all the tiers out the window and just go with matchups. Persons A, B & C are gonna play Cham so there's no way I can safely play RL, etc.

Its really a process of elimination until you get down to 2-3 playable decks. Unless you have a SD, then all bets are off and it comes down to your playtesting.

Insanity always breaks the metagame. I'll be waiting with baited breath... You know my deck will make no sense, so what happens when NUTS meets NUTS?? Will I be "powerless" to stop you??? Tune in Saturday same bat time same bat channel.
