Teammates is always worth considering in Expanded stage 2 decks

As a Buzzwole/Garb player I'm happy Glaceon barely effects me (outside of locking Lele, which I do myself half the time anyway with Garbotoxin)

Why has nobody ever dubbed this deck "Battletoads and Double Dragon"? On a related note I wonder if Mismagius from CRI has any use in Expanded as a 1-energy Chaos Wheel user. I don't like that it's a stage 1 though

Either Venusaur or Vikavolt are the best partners

I used it once in the league cup to get a needed switch off a Lele after Guzma. At Memphis it was important for one of my 3 wins , allowing me to move an energy up to Espeon EX for a devolve KO. I think it's useful to avoid the 10 damage from Rainbow on the active. Could experiment with a few...

I didn't have any FFB's on me in person yesterday which is the only reason I subbed bands. I do run them in one variant online . At this LC it turned out Band was a fine choice because almost all basics I ran into early game were either other big GX's (where Band performs better) ...

not sure what you mean by Ability on Sudowoodo, it's the Watch and Learn one, not the Roadblock one. The psychic and retrieval/letter is an interesting idea, I can test it. But I will say I don't like having a dead energy in hand for early game, and there have definitely been times when I was...

This would instantly make Carbink BREAK a viable Buzzwole build

Why use 2 stretcher/1 recycler when you could just use some Super Rods to double as energy recovery?

I play Buzzwole/Garb so it might be different (No Lycanroc or Max Elixirs), and my experience is: go first unless you know the opponent is playing Zoroark, then go second for the donk

I won in my first league cup (20 people in Rockville, MD) using this list, which was a modified version of the deck I ran at Memphis and had little success with (3/4/2). I think the additional hammer and blower did count, plus I was way less nervous and used to playing on the clock this time...

Ultra Space allows searching for UB's without the use of Lele or other abilities. This could make a Naganadel/Garb deck viable, but also a UB toolbox deck with Kartana, xurk, nihilego etc Also it makes for a funny counter to Frogs via first turn Pheremosa donk.

Machamp GX is pretty terrible even if its first attack can ohko a Zoroark. However I have been thinking about trying out a 1-1-1 line of Fighting Fury Machamp with Guardians Rising Machoke in Buzzwole decks as a tech. It serves as both bench protection including from Decidueye with Machoke, and...

how about Sableye-Garb with Life Dew

I was surprised at seeing that too. I probably didn't refresh and was looking at the ranks after an earlier round. so obviously must be lower. Are the full day 1 results still up anywhere?

This is the list I played at Memphis and went 3-4-2. Immediate changes I made when i played in side tournaments on Sunday were: - Oranguru + Sudowoodo BKP - N + 2nd Brigette My hardest matchups by far were Zoroark/Lycanroc and Buzzwole/Lycanroc, due to the fact that they can consistently...

3-4-2 I actually ended up running Buzzwole/Garb , bought the cards there and removed Drampa and Espeon when I realized how much fighting there was. I had two ties (against ZoroPod and Decidueye /Zoroark), my wins were Quad Sylveon, Ninetales Zoroark and Volcanion. 3 of my losses were to...

True but to ohko garde with a Turtonator, you need both two steam ups , and a belt/band or third steam up on turtonator. I wish there was a usable spread attacker for Volc (closest you get is Ho-Oh's sacred fire) edit: I should test Po Town and Espeon EX in Volcanion

True, but Garde being the top deck could mean it's harder to make it to day 2 if half or more the rounds I play end up being Garde

I'm considering sticking with the Garb theme but making the switch to Buzzwole/Garbodor to make deal with the rampant Zoroark decks which Drampa has trouble OHKOing, while not dropping Garbotoxin as an underrated option since fewer people are expecting it to make a comeback.
