Articuno/Dusknoir

[AlexanderTheAwesome]

So I've been toying around with the somewhat hyped "Broken" Articuno and his auto paralysis. Now, I know that between Keldeo and switch this deck probably gets steamrolled, but I have to disagree. Here's a scenario: Most Darkrai Decks run ONE Keldeo EX, if auto paralyze that every turn how are they supposed to do anything?? Just wondering. Same goes for Klinklang. So if you could help me with any minor issues you see in my decklist please suggest away.

Pokemon: 12
3x Articuno EX
2x Lugia EX
3-1-3 Dusknoir

Supporters: 13
4x Juniper
4x N
4x Skyla
1x Colress

Items: 24
4x Colress Machine
4x Switch
4x Rare Candy
4x Ultra Ball
4x Pokemon Catcher
1x Level Ball
1x Tool Scrapper
1x Super Rod
1x Scramble Switch

Energy: 11
7x Water Energy
4x Plasma Energy

Now I do run scramble switch, because I figure if I commit all of my energies to an Articuno, I can simply throw down a Lugia and scramble switch to it to net my last few prizes (using sinister hand as needed).

*As soon as frozen city comes out that will definately be put in here. It's pretty much auto win VS Keldeo if I can get it out first turn.

It was kinda implied in the description. But anyway:
Use articunos frost prison attack to auto paralyze and then Spread he damage to the bench for a paralysis lock on their active

I tested this deck alot. Once you get set up it's amazing. If you somehow lose the Para lock (Switch or Rush in) then you are kinda screwed.... You lose a lot of the energy and it's rare to have another attacker with 4 more energy waiting on your bench. Scramble Switch is a good idea but you won't always have it when you need it. I might run Energy switch for the water energy you have on the active.

Just some (scary) thoughts. Hope this helped (with testing you have probably already noticed this)

You will actually want to put it out after their first turn because they might put out tropical beach, and when you put out frozen city tropical beach is discarded.
