Yea because with aerodactyl in play, now the BAR player cant umm....use their Lum Berry...;/

But if you mean it can OHKO rayquaza, thats just another 2 prize bait for it to kill.

and yet no one either bouthers to bring up the point that someone showed me in another deck.......why not add Aerodcatyl EX?

Because it would be a complete and utter waste of space.

Sorry to put that harshly, but then how can the Wailord EX player use their Oran Berry? Or Crystal Shard if they play it? Sorry, I just thought that was reeeelly obvious. Think! :rolleyes:

And as it says from the card......

Poke-BODY Primal Lock
As long as Aerodactyl EX is in play, your opponent
can't play Pokemon Tool cards. Remove any Pokemon Tool
cards attached to your opponent's Pokemon and put
them into his or her discard pile.

next time, please read the card first.....
Think! :rolleyes: lol......

Hah! Wow am I an idiot or what? *says with a Kramer like expression on his face, if you watch Seinfield. That show rules*

Sorry about that. Wow, I really weren't thinking there. Probably because I don't see a lot of it played competitively.

Again, sorry for my stupidity, and any of yours that my have resulted from this,

OK, here's the deal.

I only wanted to break this deck out in Chicago, I don't even play it anymore.

I play a Blaziken Raq variant that I am toying with...so I am arguing a bit tongue in cheek at this point.

How's that for reality. It was priceless to see Chicago FALL to this deck on its coming out party. One slow start away from 6-0. After the deck was out, I knew it would be expected and countered. Fun to break it out though, and go to the top with it.

Talk to you all soon.

And as BPBD says, if I ignore you at times on AIM, I have 3 kids and a wife who tend to need some attention, along with an e-bay run that keeps me travelling and playing.

TOO BUSY, but having too much fun..

See you all Saturday....we will let the cards sort them out.

I hope Colin goes back to Amphy, I like that deck.

M45

Lol I'm not playing amphy, I dunno if I am even gonna be there. I need a frickin ride there and home. So if you happen to read this please IM me tomorrow or call me. And be like "Hey colin i'll give you a ride"

Seriously Jermy it isn't worth it to argue with people on here, they just obviously have no sense of what decks are dominating the format and CC's. I'm not a person who plays BAR and expects to beat EVERYTHING, i don't even play BAR, in fact i have came up with some very cool rogue decks and quite possibly one that is Tier 1. BAR is also not overrated or overhped, if anything is that GARDY is. Gardevoir has never scared me, sure it is a good deck, but it has its fair share of problems and without a good player playing it, it suffers miserably.
 
Well, I must be dense or something-I still fail to see why Aerodactyl ex would be a good thing for this deck. The only upside is that you can avoid starting with just it's pre-evo and have a colorless attacker, but Crystal Shard serves the same purpose. Enlighten me please!
 
lol Scizor youre prolly right.
Otaku, SomethingElse is just one of those people that say random comments that make no sense. Crystal shard would be better. Just ignore him lol.
 
Well the deck technically got 1st in St. Louis today.

Ummm first off who are you? And 2nd off Meganium45 does not play this deck, so lets not flame him or Newman. Newman got 3rd in the FAT..So its not like some loser is playing the deck. ALSO Have you ever played against it? If not how can you base how it plays by just reading the decklist? That isn't a challenge as I dont play the deck and dont intend to, so dont say "oh play me and i'll beat you with whatever"

You people only base the decks on if they can beat the 4 big decks BAR, Amphy, Garde, and Sceptile. But frankly those aren't very popular, and aren't played in large amounts in any tournaments that I've seen. So why does it really matter if you only play like one in the whole tourney? If this deck beats everything else then I would say its a very good deck. And if you dont.. Ya ok

Swanton I only challenged the deck because things were being said about its um capabilities that arent true...
Those big 4 decks seem popular to me. Look at Mudkips 29/?? CC topic.
 
For the record - the big whale deck is now 16-3 in major tourneys, 2nd overall in St. Louis, 2nd overall in Chicago and 1st overall in Collinsville, IL.

That is QUITE a track record for any deck. Yes, there is only ONE player out there playing it right now, but he is a darned good player whose credentials match up against anyone in the game right now, except maybe the Brooks if they still play.

Like Colin said, 3rd overall at the FAT, he has won cash in 2 of my 3 $200 cash tourneys I throw, he just flat wins. No more needs be said.

The deck is a real shocker that it works as well as it does. It eeked out against a Niniken on Saturday, lost to a kingdra EX, but basically ROLLED everything else in its path....

We'll see how well it does after the next expansion.

Talk to you all soon.

Maybe I missed something here.. but what is the basic strategy to this?

Stall with fossils until ready? bring up clean WailordEx with 4 energy to do 100 and hopefully KO that active. Turn Ends. Wailord takes damage. Opp Turn Ends. Super Deep Dive to remove 3 and bring up fossil to stall. Rinse/Repeat. Heal damage with trainers. Build up WailordEx #2 on bench. Did I miss something?
 
Newmans Response

Thanks Vince, Well Said It Means Alot And For Those Of You Who Don,t Know Me Im The Person Who Created The Deck And What All The Talk Is About.

Newman Is My Name.

This Is My First Time Replying On This Site But Have Really Enjoyed Reading Everyones Responses To My Deck And Its Adventure.

I Have To Be Honest Im More Of A Defensive Person.

But Before I Forget Want To Thank The Person Who Sparked The Idea For My Deck And That Was The Kid Who First Played Gengar /fossils, Just Took It To Another Level.

I Have To Say Wailord Is Probably Done For Now ,but Was A Blast To Play. Working On Something New But Cant Quite Say Yet And Aqua Magma Coming Who Knows The Possibilities.

Thanks Again,
Newman
 
Yea kids these days...what are they thinking. I mean of course Wailord beats Rayquaza and all those other decks. By the time they get 1 Rayquaza out we will already have 4 Wailord ex on the bench each with 4 water energy because Wailord ex is such a fast attacker and Rayquaza cannot compare with its speed. And if we see an Ampharos, we use pokemon nurse and discard all of our wailords energy. In your face Ampharos! And if we're up against Wobbuffet? Then comes from the miracle from the sky. A Base set Blastoise shows up out of nowhere and we get a Wailord RS out with 5 energy in 1 turn!

YEAH VENASAUR TO YOUR RESPONSE I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW YOUR RECORD AND WHAT I WOULD DO TO PLAY YOU. THE FOSSILS IS THERE FOR ESTABLISHING 2 TO 3 WAILORDS AND IF I LIKE FOUR OF THEM AMPY THAT IS WHY I PLAY WEAKNESS GAURD TWO FOR ONE THAT WORKS FOR ME AND DONT FORGET 14 HEALING CARDS OOOOH I KEEP FORGETING DITTO AND CRYSTAL SHARD WABEE CANT TELL YOU HOW MANY OF THEM I HAVE BEETEN THIS PAST WEEKEND THE LIST GOES ON THERE IS ONLY ONE DECK I HAVE CONSISTENTLY LOST TWO ONLY TWICE AND THAT IS A WELL BUILT KINGDRA. LASTLY THOUGH THERE IS NOT ENOUGH TYPING ROOM TO TELL YOU HOW BAD I WOULD LIKE TO PLAY YOU AND WHY MY DECK CONSISTENTLY WINS 16-3. ONLY THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE PLAYED ME KNOWS WHAT IT IS LIKE, AND YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY TALK IS CHEAP AND PUT YOUR DECK WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS. MAN IT FEELS GOOD TO BE FINALLY IN THE FORUM.

I REST MY CASE,
NEWMAN
