RE: Plasma (Thundurus EX / Deoxys EX / Kyurem) Sure fun, but not really competitive. He's an energy hog, plus he needs all plasma to be useful. If you have that many energy on a pokemon you're better off it being lugia, or even a 4 energy thundurus would be better IMO.

Abomasnow makes your fire type matchups a little better. But if you're that worried about victini you probably shouldn't play genesect, and instead play TDK. Victini gets destroyed by Kyurem.

RE: Darkrai EX / Sableye / Garbodor For larger tournaments I'de agree that aggro darkrai is the route to take. However I'm going have to disagree that everytime it's the way to go. For the smaller tournaments like "BR's" and cities Hovertoxin can do just as well or better than Darkrai...

RE: Darkrai EX / Sableye / Garbodor Ghetsis is amazingly good in the mirror, and can be really good if your opponents hand is big too. Zimmerman gave some solid reasoning for playing ghetsis in his worlds report. He said: "I figured something out, I hate colress. It was awful early game...

Late game you wouldn't want to be powering up virizion though, you'de want to be investing energy onto your attackers genesect or lugia and using their attacks other than emerald slash. If you have to power up a virizion or some funky math makes it the same as megalo cannoning (doing 50 on a...

Right no I'm not saying plasma badge is bad, but it's just risky. From what I've tested 1/5 games you'll get t1 emerald slash, and its SUPER good when you get it, but a dead 3-4 cards if you don't. Not to mention for badge variants to be good they have to run deoxys, which gets hardcore...

While I'll agree that tropius isn't very good in this deck I think sacraficing the card space for more cards to get t1 emerald slash (badge mainly) is a bad idea. I don't really think it's a bad way to run this deck, I simply think that the Drifblim route is better. Beaching for draw and...

RE: Darkrai EX / Sableye / Garbodor I'de cut the colress and put 2 random recievers. Junk hunting for a supporter in the deck is too good to pass up on, If you REALLY don't like RR's I guess you could try bike but the major difference between this and speed darkrai is you aren't able to...

I've tested munna but at times it can be more an inconvenience than a godsend. When you get the heads then they get tails it's really clutch (guessing they don't have keldeo float/switch) but the 2 retreat can be a pain. Especially if you run limited switch options. Not to mention he's a dinky...

Even if they do catcher kill it you still make them waste a turn of attacking on it (still have to take down 3 other EX's). Plus they use resources to take it down that they won't have for other pokes. I've tested the deck 60+ games vs. plasma and it won 55/60. Tested plasma badge mirror and it...

When you Can force 7 prizes and do potentially 200 damage for 1 energy that's super solid. Derail can attack for free a lot of the time with plasma badge variants as well, Henry got matched in the mirror and Drifblims did a good deal vs. the deck that was straight gene/virizion with plasma...

In the mirror it's at least 5 dead cards. Insta-lose pretty much. Wheras Drifblim lines can be especially useful in the mirror if you play it right.

Hey man you're free to have your opinion, but when you're ohkoing everything sacraficing two prizes instead of a blastoise or attacker leaves room to come back and attack instead of taking pressure. Not to mention Jwittz played Jirachi eggs in blastoise with SUC and made T20 out of 110+ players...

RE: Darkrai EX / Sableye / Garbodor Dark claw is a really clutch card in this deck, being able to take 4 prizes in one turn with claw is too good to pass up on IMO. Another tech I've seen is exp share, I personally like it. This deck really needs 4 float stones to work. It works really well...

RE: Darkrai EX / Sableye / Garbodor Super solid deck, but only if given enough time. I think because it's a control deck having enough time is definitely necessary, and I don't think it'll do very well in BO3 50 minutes. At some of the smaller tournaments though, like BR's (league challenges or...

The thing about jirachi is it doesn't sacrafice consistency, but rather adds it. Especially if you run level ball. Like if you whiff a supporter in hand but have a pokemon search card you can stay in the game instead of drawing dead. Makes things pretty consistent IMO, I dunno I've tested it and...

Yeah I'de agree, SUC is amazing in this deck. But there's really no need for scramble switch, you're better off retreating, Superior energy retrievaling and re-attaching. And outside of attaching a lightning to keldeo to attack you should just not be stupid with your attachments and you'll be...

RE: Darkrai EX / Sableye / Hypnotoxic Laser / Virbank City Gym IMO this deck isn't even really meta alone anymore. Without energy switch straight darkrai is as good as dead, he needs a partner to get by now.

RE: Darkrai EX / Sableye / Hypnotoxic Laser / Virbank City Gym Hmm that looks very similar to jason's list. except for the high scrapper and mirror presence. I'de change it to 1 scrapper, junk hunt is your friend if you really need more than 1. Also, silver mirror is not a very good tool in...

RE: Plasma (Thundurus EX / Deoxys EX with attackers and techs) ^Lol Serious though, heatran is bad. It's been said before but I'll say it again, quite simply if you tech in a card to make a good matchup better you're only shooting yourself in the foot for other matchups.
