It won a couple of gcs and a few top cutted at nats that year I believe.

It didn't win anything huge because of several factors: it lost its suprise factor and LBS began to tech Lati@s,more switches,and Island caves. Time began to play a major issue with it. Not alot of people knew how to play it.

It peaked in the gc season, and was by far the BDIF of the moment.

It wasn't so much a bad deck as a fragile one. Moss played it as much as anyone that season and he Frontier/Admin locked my Metanite deck after I got up three prizes about 30 min into a top 4 GC match. I couldn't draw into Anything including warp energy techs,castform to get to an already attached warp energy, stadium counter.... Ultimately it came down to the luck of the draw, and that's only because Mossy was playing the deck incredibly well.....just about anybody else would have blown it with that deck. He had incredible patience which was key to him outplaying me -- I have minimal in that areaLOL. I tried playing the thing and I justed sucked with it...As a matter of fact the weekend that the deck was introduced at states - Seena went like 2-3 with it. It takes alot of practice........ BTW Jimmy is right -the eevelutions win -- He locks mynx and wins on TIME...... swiss is a real problem for the deck..... Spoinkmaster -- Dark Slowking???? I never would have guessed :rolleyes:

You remember insanely wrong. Mynx was one of the nastiest decks I have ever seen. With the exception of a handful of decks, if the deck what it is supposed to, you win. Permenant lock, perfect prize manipulation, and the ability to manipulate almost every aspect of your opponents resources (deck, hand, energy, powers, ect.). Mynx never won anything, but if you are saying it was bad because it never did, you are beyond wrong (LBS won nothing that matters either, say that was a bad deck with a straight face =/).

All I remember is that I never had any problem beating it with anything I ran. The deck was just way too fragile. Yea if it got up and the lock couldn't be broken then it would put up what looked like a dominating game. In those cases it was very frustrating to play against, but if the lock could be broken it usually fell like a rock. It was very inconsistent.

RockLock and MYNX. Both are very difficult to play

Rock Lock was one of the easiest deck ever to play. It played exactly the same way nearly every single game.
 
1. Ludicargo. This deck was so TeCHable, and it lasted longer than any deck I can think of in recent years. IMO it was still viable last format, and I came close to playing it a couple times for BRs [if only Metanite hadn't been so popular!]. Really the most fun for me, because there was just so many different things you could run it with, and there were a number of ways to play it.

2. Pow-Block. Coming from behind with your opponent at 1 prize time and time again was just too much fun. Pow+Scramble+SpinTail Ttar+Trode EX+Admin...that's how Pokemon cards should be played. The deck was unpredictable, and centered around a great Pokemon. Even had winnable matchups vs fighting stuff if you played it properly.

3. Muk/Weezing. I know I'm the only person who's going to have this on their list. If you played it, however, it simply DOMINATED the BLS matchup in it's day, and even had good matchups vs anything but things Mew-related in the format. The simplicity of this strategy was what makes it to my top3. It was the beauty of the first MukEX list, but it had the swagger of being an EX killer deck as well. Really the only T2 deck I've ever had any fun playing.

Honorable mention goes to Lunarock, because at the end of it's cycle it was still a lot of fun to play with random stuff. Those cards also meshed well with Banette.

What was the strat for weezing/muk?


(plz dont laugh at my nubness :frown:)

Weezing's "Liability" attack placed damage counters on the Defending Pokemon until it was 10 HP from being KO'd, but at the time Stadiums like Desert Ruins and Cursed Stone helped solidify the KO on Pokemon-ex and Pokemon with Poke-Powers. The LM Muk complimented the deck by having a Poke-Body that kept each player from using any Poke-Powers. It's first attack also poisoned the Defending Pokemon and kept it from retreating during the opponent's next turn. With the help of things like Switch, Warp Point, and Fluffy Berry (what I personally used with the deck), the poison from that attack plus Liability meant a 2HKO on anything in the format.

The reason the deck did as well as it did was because of the rampant use of Pokemon-ex and Poke-Powers at the time. LBS (and other Pokemon-ex intensive decks) couldn't handle the prize tradeoff, since a Muk/Weezing deck usually took 2 prizes for every 1 that the LBS player would take. And decks that relied on Poke-Powers had a hard time setting up against a 2nd turn Muk.

Hope that helped.

I don't like LBS. I played Liability at a GC one year expecting everyone to play it and I went 0-4 because I didn't see it once. And the fact that it's probably the most expensive deck in the history of the game doesn't help either.
 
I'd say my most favorite deck is my secret Triangle deck which shall remain a secret :p
But I'd say that LBS was certainly a high favorite for me. If only it had longer to stay modified.
 
My favorites of all time would be:

1) Giovanni's Machamp/Rockets Hitmonchan/Focus Band- This was one of the top decks back in the day with modified when Feraligatr from neo genesis was running rampant. If you could get lucky enough Giovanni's Machamp with a Focus Band attached to it would never die. Awesome deck and very fun to play. I remember getting 2nd place with it in a big tourney.

2) Salamence (Dragon)/Milotic (Hidden Legends)/Energy Draw Delcatty - I came up with this deck during the days Blaziken ex decks ruled the world. I took it to Nationals that year and really turned some heads. Doubt anyone remembers. It was the perfect metagame call as everyone was playing Blaziken decks and my deck steam-rolled thru it. I believe I got 1st or 2nd with it for the tourney the day before nats. Then I started off 4-0 with it for Nationals before being screwed over by conflicting rulings by two different judges the next two rounds costing me 2 matches. I'm still bitter. lol

3) Haymaker with Rocket's Zapdos - nuff said
