What, no Yanmega? After it doing so well at Canada's Nationals Yanmega/Kingdra will definitely be one of the contenders at our Nats

The people that are going to be playing those decks are going to be the average and less than average players that saw on Pokegym/Sixprizes/ect that Yanmega/Kingdra did well in canada and will play it with very little testing.
 
Hahahahaha I would love to see magneboar win. But im the world I live in, reality, the chances of that are slim in my opinion. Let's all say hi to the nationals meta: Magneboar, Megazone, Megaking, Megajudge, Kingmegazone, Reshiboar, Reshilphlosion, Zekrom with Yanmega, Donchamp, Megaphan, Mewgar, Lostgar, Magneswarm, etc. Also based on the Canadian Nationals, Yanmega can outspeed anything. Try setting up when you're getting judged every turn and your basics are getting two shot. One shot if a Kingdra is out. And btw... Yanmega is used in half of those decks, majority usually wins people.

Sablelock was popular at last years nats lol. Luxchomp definately saw more play but it had its part. Luxchomp won seniors, took second in masters. At worlds, Luxchomp won seniors and masters, second in juniors. Jumpluff which was the most popular deck in juniors last worlds also won. Remember Mother Gengar... a deck doesn't have to be the best to win, it just has to be so overplayed that other decks fall to the side. There's a reason vilegar and luxchomp were known as the top decks.
Good deck + Over saturation = Usually the winner.

Mew/Gar or Lost/Gar will have problems getting through a Top 128 due to time constraints. I just don't see it taking the whole thing.
 
Man people are riding the Magneboar train hard... Its good but it sure is slow and any decent disruption destroys it. Canadian Nationals show that disruption highly impacts the format right now. At least thats how I saw it. Megajudge provides that while also keeping consistency with the help of "magnetic draw". I've also noticed a huge lack of yanmega being discussed and I believe something like 10 or 11 out of 16 of the top 16 in Canada all had yanmega involved. I expect a deck with well played disruption to take nationals. with uxie gone, board control is easier than i've ever. at least for how long i've played (Diamond and Pearl). I vote MegaJudge to win...

Now to contradict myself a little. Sablelock won last year and it's road to the championship was paved with great matchups due to the Honchkrow tech. So really anything is possible if you land the right opponents.

You just gave away someone's rogue deck, I'm sure they're really going to be happy with you.

Or maybe it's a deck that many people have talked about/is pretty obvious to most people with working eyes (mine really don't even work that well and I saw it). Heck MewPluff/Vileplume/Muk/Yanmega has been posted on this forum numerous times because it was a decently popular deck at Canadian Nats...

Nine decks used Yanmega, I counted because I was bored and I saw numerous Y's...
 
Magenboar is Mega slow. It wont win Nationals. Some very good players will top cut with it but they will loose to other very good players with faster, more consitent decks. This is not earlier this year where SP decks ran on auto-pilot half of the time. a deck needs to be set quickly to be effective and two stage twos decks wont cut it as they are allways be slow to set up.

IF the Magneboar player is able to get set up it is very hard to stop it. The problem is most often they are down 1 or 2 prizes before both stage 2's are in play then they have to play catch up. It is a decent deck but there are better choices out there as Canada proved last week.
 
Reshiphlosion won't win, although I think it could if it is played REALLY well (Like, with Dialgachomp care and smarts), I think it could make the top 32, at least 1.
