How do you beat Trevenant?
Or anything that does quick damage?
This is why Durant is worse than Houndoom.
Houndoom can take hits, and use super scoop up/Max elixir.
Durant with 70hp and a need for 2 energy can't.
I got 14th at NY States today with the same list as last week...

Well, if you are in masters I guess maybe this could be a lesson in what to play...?
I only really ever played 1 game where the opponent burned through their deck. That was night March in top 4
Damian with Diggersby/Puzzle of Time
(Almost the complete opposite of my deck...
I couldn't discard anything, as he could always rototiller the exact same amount back)
The Report (NJ States 2nd Place):
Warning, I don't exactly remember ever little detail.
Round 1: Zach - Darkrai/Malamar
I am a friend of Zach, and was sad about having to play him.
I was able to get mostly everything I wanted to get 1st game. Hard Charm saved me here. Darkrai's second attack +...

Final...
Sorry to double post, but I have come up with a strategy to beat Trev BREAK with Houndoom Mill.
Steps:
1) get rid of as many energy as you can
2) change the stadium to aqua's base or parallel city a lot
3) Play as few Pokemon as you can.
• Play Houndoom, attach an energy, and delay...
Alright then.
I agree that it makes night March think for a bit, but for other match ups?
Not really so much.
I'll try it though.
However, I do like my 3 hard charm...
So... I completely forgot about Bursting Balloon, but I did thank you a 2-2 line of Garbodor with 2 float stone.
I played...
I don't know about Bursting Balloon.
The opponent will know that we don't play to take prizes, so they won't really make a difference. They will attack anyway, knowing it won't really effect the prize game. We (as mill players) don't really benefit from it
