  • 8x Dark

    4x Fairy

Strategy:
The Idea of the Deck was to use Yveltal EX as the main attacker and use Darkrai Ex to provide some bench damage as well as the safety of the whole dark energy no retreat cost. Aegislash is intended to be used to strike down all those big guys that are to risky to head to head with via Yveltal, King Shield... love it. In order to fight those annoying Hypnotoxic lasers and Poison/sleep fanatics i have included Slurpuff since pokes that have a fairy energy can not be affected by status conditions.

My main issues with this deck is that Aegislash takes way to long to set up and isnt often available until mid game, so if the strike down Yveltal or Darkrai to fast I am in some bad trouble. Dont get me wrong, this deck has won more then it has lost but when it loses is loses bad. This deck has held its own against all the meta decks the biggest problems is has are Siglyph (FF) Garbador and fast paced Reshiram decks.

Siglyph is the biggest issue but if aegislash is ready then ole Siggy doesnt last long.

Any ideas for improvement would be greatly appreciated, I really need to make this thing move faster and a bit more consistent.
 
RE: Aegislah/Yveltal EX/ Darkrai EX

My suggestions:

-2 Evosoda
-2 Professors Letter
-2 Dark Energy
-4 Metal Energy
-4 Fairy Energy

+4 Rare Candy
+1 Sycamore
+2 Colress
+1 Bianca
+2 DCE
+4 Rainbow Energy

You are pretty weak on draw trainers. So that is the addition of the 4th Sycamore, a pair of Colress, and a Bianca. Swapping in Rare Candy for Evosoda will help you to skip past Duoblade to get to Aegislash faster. Dropping down your energy count and adding Rainbow energies allows you to use Slurpuff's ability and Darcrai's Dark Clock simultaneously.

This won't make your deck BDIF, but this will be a step in the right direction I think.
