If you can honestly say it's Tier 2, fine, it's on topic. I don't believe that for a second though. Hydreigon is a bit clunky at times, but I wouldn't call it inconsistent. The only consistency Garchomp has over Hydreigon is Gabite (which is admittedly a nice boost for Garchomp), and Hydreigon...

We know this from Japan, who has been playing this meta forever. How would you not put Hydreigon at Tier 1? Have you not seen it run? What's your Tier 1 look like then? Just Eels at BDIF and no contest? Sounds even more depressing that what I'm already not happy with. But all that's off topic...

Bianca's the best draw supporter in format after Juniper and N, no question. If the choice was 50/50 I'd pick Bianca over Cheren any day. That said, it's probably worth testing in whatever deck you use. Odds are Bianca will be the better choice, but Cheren has uses too. After turn 1 really...

RE: Garchomp Altchomp. Tier 1.5 is the lowest it'll possibly go, if only for sheer number of people playing it. If 10% of an event cuts and 95% of the field is playing it, it'll top regardless of how good it is. That said, Altchomp is definitely worthy of being at least Tier 2. It's good...

We all know Altchomp, Hydrai, and Eels will be Tier 1 and the most played come Fall BRs. But what will Tier 2 look like? What are some other solid, winning potential choices that just don't quite make the list? Maybe rogue decks that you expect to do well and why. I'm just getting sick of seeing...

No, it isn't. It's a bad situation regardless of bench status, and I will admit that puts a damper on the deck as a whole. However, having a Wartortle out or not is irrelevant of that fact. I'm assuming you're not Ning me to one or two (if this is the case, I shouldn't even need another Blasty)...

I'll test it when I test the deck. For now, the consistency cards stay.

Send in Keldeo. Kill Garchomp, since you didn't do anything about my energies on the board. Even then, that's not an argument for adding Wartortle, that's an argument for why the deck won't work competitively. I'm open to more energy, but dropping ways to put Blastoise on the field for them is...

You play Ho-oh and 4 Energy Switch. Getting the Mewtwo revenge KO is never an issue. As for what to cut, Max Potion is incredibly useless to Ho-oh. With SSU you can always dump the Ho-oh and energy again, Max Potion leaves you with an undead Ho-oh on the field doing absolutely nothing...

I'm hesitant to drop Skylas because of all they can do. They may not be draw supporters, but having access to any trainer in my deck as needed is ridiculously good. Skyla is underrated. If I drop them for anything though, it'll be Hugh, Bianca, or Cheren, for the draw support. Cilan is a bad...

Emolga is an idea. I'm more likely to whiff turn 1 Squirtle than turn 2 Blastoise after getting Squirtle, only because I'm more hesitant to Ultra Ball for a Squirtle. However, I don't see where Emolga would really fit, to be honest, and that's more something to hold onto until the testing phase...

If you Catcher KO a Blastoise, I either will have another one being dropped with a Rare Candy or I already have another one dropped with a Rare Candy. How do you intend to OHKO Blastoise with a Hydreigon deck? I'm pretty sure their damage caps at 90. You still seem to underestimate the ability...

I have no problems putting Mewtwo into that extra spot, although he doesn't really work as a seventh prize. Eviolite is a card I did overlook. I'll drop 2 Bicycle for them, thank you. See, that's the problem right there. "Odd but possible." It isn't possible at all. Trainer lock is nonexistent...

What stuff happens though? Gothitelle is the only form of trainer lock, and the only deck she is used in is bad. If I really need a Gothitelle counter, I'll play a Mewtwo in that last spot. If I ever use the Wartortle for anything besides an Ultra Ball discard, I am crippling myself. If I ever...

How? The only way to search Wartortle is Ultra Ball, which means I have to not get a Blastoise or Keldeo with that Ultra Ball. Rare Candy, however, is searchable with Skyla, whose purpose early game is almost specifically to act as 4 extra Rare Candies. I have 8 ways to see a Rare Candy and 5...

Accelock is easily breakable with Step In. And a bad meta deck in general. 4 N is staple BW-on. Shuffle-draw is amazing. I will consider some Hughs over Skylas, but I'm iffy on it.

RE: The Phoenix Max out on Switches and Random Receivers, and go to 2 of each energy (including DCE). You should be attacking with Rainbow Burn turn 1.

In a world where trainer lock doesn't exist, Wartortle serves no purpose whatsoever. I shouldn't be shuffling energies away with my Ns, they'll be on the field. Blastoise is a seventh prize if he's ever knocked out, but part of the goal is for that not to ever happen. Love and tolerate. I've...

Empoleon likes Max Potion. I personally have never had a need for Exp. Share in this deck. Rather, I like Energy Switch in here. You can prep a benched attacker while using your cheap Empoleon active, and then if it turns out you need an attacker besides the one you prepped, or you suddenly need...
