Let me get this straight. Are you really saying that a Zekrom will atack before a Tornadus/Tornadus EX/Mewtwo EX?

No, CMT will go up on prizes most of the time, meaning that a fair prize trade, i.e. Mewtwo for 2 Zekrom/Thundurus, is in favor of CMT, since once they take the first 1-2 prizes all they have to do is break even.

Even better! That means they won't have a solid answer to your Mewtwo, and you'll be able to win much easier! It doesn't matter how many Supporters you play, an N to 1 is MUCH worse for a CMT player than it is a ZekEels player, because Eels accelerates from the discard and Celebi accelerates...

Why does the fact that ZekEels is running more Mewtwo make CMT better? It would be better if players were still running low Mewtwo counts, so that CMT could win Mewtwo wars more easily. If you want to do Mewtwo wars, do it with Eelektrik instead of Celebi, since it's a much more consistent form...

4 N will be in every single BW-On deck, gauranteed. 4 Juniper will be in almost every deck. The discard is a little more harsh without Junk Arm, but the extra draw is well worth it.

Why would you purposely build a deck around a negative effect? The "pluses" you described aren't really pluses at all. Cards like Energy Retrieval, Super Rod, and Ho-Oh EX are just fixing the damage you've done to your own deck. They're not helping you get ahead. Also, how are you getting back...

Eh, I like the way it looks, but I could care less how threatening it looks. I just want a good Dragonite card for once.

Milky, Even if it never happens, the threat of a 7-energy Mewtwo is such a big deal for the Darkrai player to have to play around. I don't think it's worth it to tech Sableye in Zeels at all, since you waste a turn you could be attacking, and there aren't any trainers you should need to get back...

Milky, It's alright, it's a little risky for my playstyle. The only reason Eels/Mewtwo did so well at Nationals is because people started cutting down to 0-1 Mewtwos in ther Eels and Darkrai decks, which is an easily exploitable deck building mistake. Eels/Terrakion loses pretty badly to a quick...

I like Cheren much better because there's no risk of not being able to draw more than 1-2 cards.

I could really care less if I'm trading for a regular or a promo, as long as it does the same thing, unless one of the arts is just unbearably ugly. In fact, I would rather trade for a promo when I can since I have to trade less for about the same card.

Milky, I thought we were talking about BW-On. In HGSS-On I still like 1 Thundurus, though. In BW-On, Thundurus is NEEDED in ZekEels, for sure.

Milky, Are you dumb? You seriously think you can consistently get DCE turn 1, let alone DCE turn 1 AND turn 2? Really? My god, do you actually have any testing done whatsoever? Mewtwo Wars are never something you want to start since they often come down to luck and who draws best off of N, which...

Milky, I couldn't disagree more. Thundurus outclasses Mewtwo as a starter in BW-On. First of all, it's easier to get a turn 1 Charge than a turn 1 X-Ball, since you don't have to get a DCE. Also, Thundurus gets energy on the field to be Dynamotored. Also, they will generally be doing similar...

Discussing Sableye on this thread is sort of relevant since it has synergy with Skyla. I don't think it would be worth it to tech Sableye into Eels, or any deck besides Darkrai. Eels already has it's starter, Thundurus, and that's all Sableye is in Darkrai/Hydreigon. You rarely ever attack...

Oh cool, I have the same birthday as Pokebeach! Lol.

I've had a lot of Dragon Shields, and I'm not sure but it seems like White shuffles best.

It'll be good, but I don't think it'll be [i]that[i/] good. Cyrus had non-supporter draw cards, plus, it was overall a much better card. Skyla will be decent in any deck, but it will be great in Empoleon and decks that run heavy Bicycle.

The card shouldn't be used for attacking ever. It could be used in any collorless deck that needs a little bit of energy acceleration, but doesn't need constant energy attachments like Emboar provides.

^Part of the reaon Cyrus worked was because you always had Claydol/Uxie to draw more cards if you needed more than 3 cards. This format, just about all of our draw is Supporters.
