RE: Your favorite deck

For me, I'd have to say VileRom EX. It's my first truly successful deck I've created so far. It's also probabally one of the most unexpected varients of Eels. Most people don't think to put Zekrom EX with Vileploom, since most Eel deck rely on Lv. Ball etc. I've have matches where my opponent had a huge hand that was useless all because of Vileplume, some of thos cards were Catchers, I'm sure. One thing's certain: my Eels like having a brake from Catcher.
 
RE: Your favorite deck

Another deck to add for me would be Ambipom / Weavile / Slowking.

Great deck to play. It's main focus being to lock your opponents hand and deny them setting up, in the mean time you setup and sweep through. I would always find it a challenge to play as you none of your pokemon have very high damage output or Health. The deck was even more fun when Drifiblim was later added as a fun tech to get rid of a bulky attacker if one got setup.
 
RE: Your favorite deck

Hmm.... I've really enjoyed a lot of decks that I played in the past. A few of my favorites would be:

Magtran: Magmortar Lv.X + Heatran Lv.X; My first semi-competitive deck. I really liked it because of the pure synergy between the two cards with the discard AND the burn. I also didn't have any Claydols at the time, so I played Areodactyl MD instead to counter the Claydols that everyone else was using. Fun fact: this was the deck I used to get my very first bubble. >_>

Blaziken PL variants: Blaziken PL + Blaziken FB Lv.X/Heatran Lv.X. I used both of these variants to decent amounts of success. First, I used Blaziken with Heatran Lv.X and it actually countered a lot of Gengar decks beautifully by hitting them for 100 and finishing them off with the burn to avoid Fainting Spell (even with Nidoqueen in play). I mostly enjoyed the deck because Heatran Lv.X was simply one of my favorite cards back then and I really enjoyed the raw power of it combined with different fire types. The other variant I used was with Blaziken FB Lv.X. This deck focused much more on the burn; the main attack was Clutch as opposed to Fire Spin. My favorite thing about using this deck was probably being able to bring up a Torchic and deal 50 damage for 0 energy. :p

Blazechomp (yes, more Blaziken): Blaziken FB Lv.X + Garchomp C Lv.X. Just an SP deck really. I used Blaziken instead of Luxray because I couldn't afford Luxrays. This deck was fun because I liked the SP playstyle; The Cyrus engine, the focus on basics (this was actually not common in non-SP decks back then), and the wide variety of techs I could use such as Promocroak, Dragonite FB, and Ambipom G.

BOOM: Forretress LA + Emboar BW; The only deck I ever won a tournament with. I think I'll share a little story with you guys. When I decided to build this deck, I was looking for Pinecos from LA (because they had 1 retreat), and I was only able to find one of the two that I needed. I called up my friend to ask him if he had any, and when I asked him, he just laughed. And laughed. He said he couldn't see how a Pineco could possibly help me win a game. I managed to find another Pineco LA, and I proceded to win 2 of the 3 Battle Roads that I went to (beating him in swiss at one of them). The moral of the story is: Never underestimate a Pineco. I had great fun with the deck's sheer power and brokenness, and it really was one of a kind. I sure haven't seen anything like it before or since then.

Looking back on it now, I guess fire has always been my favorite type. Thanks for reading this unnecessarily long post (assuming actually read the whole thing that is)!
 
RE: Your favorite deck

I've been having fun with Accelegor/Magnezone. It's actually really good deck, at least, it's been doing well for me. It uses Accelegor to get fast KOs with catcher and Magnezone for later game KOs. It runs Celebi to accelerate energy and it uses EXP share to keep energy on the field.
 
RE: Your favorite deck

I had a bit of fun with T-tar prime/Machamp SF/Nidoqueen. I remember playing it really well but maybe thats just because that was my first semi-competitive deck. I just enjoyed Taking Out all these Luxray GL Lv X's, while also using T-Tar to tank through everyone else!
 
RE: Your favorite deck (Please give reasons as to why you like the deck)

My favorite deck is probably ZPST.

While many players hate it, I love being able to donk or get 120 damage on turn one. The combination is simply legendary. :p
 
RE: Your favorite deck (Please give reasons as to why you like the deck)

zekeels with zebstrika
i simply love this deck its fast fun and you can donk with zebstrika and zapdos
 
RE: Your favorite deck (Please give reasons as to why you like the deck)

My favorite decks are pokemon decks. Reason? Because they have 60 cards in them. That's 1 more than 59 and 1 less than 61. MINDFREAK.
 
RE: Your favorite deck (Please give reasons as to why you like the deck)

I‘ve recently fallen in love with Victini #15/Ninetales/Tornadus EX. Very fun, and so fast and consistent it has respectable matchups against most of the meta. I built the deck after someone at my league tried Victini/Ninetales/Filler as a budget deck for BR‘s. EXP. Share is awesome, and Ninetales allows you to run an astonishing package of low-count tech Trainers (Lost Remover, Crushing Hammer, Seeker, you name it).

Might even write an article about the deck if I have time before Battle Roads end....

Wait, so the deck is just straight Tornadus EX with Ninetales for acceleration? Wouldn't that autolose to ZekEels?
 
RE: Your favorite deck (Please give reasons as to why you like the deck)

No, the primary attacker is Victini. Victini #15 is the V-creator, not the fliptini. This, by the way, is EXACTLY why I specifically mentioned the number.

EDIT: Anyway, a deck that can do 30+ damage on turn one can‘t have an autoloss matchup against Eels ;D

I know, but I assumed that Tornadus EX was the main attacker. Guess I was wrong :p
 
RE: Your favorite deck (Please give reasons as to why you like the deck)

My favourite decks would have to be the two I mainly use at league, I like to call them Trollvee and Dragon Rush. Both are unlimited but pack a good punch, even against meta decks.

Trollvee - not as strong as it used to be, but it was the Black Star Promo Eevee with Chain Reaction. The strategy should be obvious from there but, it is a major swarm deck and I rarely ever get an eevee prized. Meaning I've got 4 Eevees, and other eeveelutions in the deck. The frontline pokemon is Espeon Prime, using it's evolution memories pokepower. This let's me (usually, and by the time it's out) determine what kind of deck my opponent is playing and allows me to work out which Eeveelution is best suited for the situation. Usually it does alright, it can be somewhat slow, but once I nail down the type of deck my opponent is using, I can easily find ways to trash their strategies. To top this off, it's great when my opponent evolves before I do. Giving me a chance to find out what they're doing right off the bat, and bring out all the eeveelutions in the same exact turn.

Dragon Rush - It is my current main deck, and one of my best. The deck only has two evolution lines, Garchomp and Hydreigon. It focuses on the POP 9 Garchomp and Noble Victories Hydreigon. The main tactic is similar to Trollvee, except it could take longer to set up, and if it takes too long to set up, the chances of winning become very low. I've been tweaking it the best I can lately, but the tactic involves using Boost Energy for Garchomp, and Special Dark Energies or Double Colorless for Hydreigon. It hits the active Pokemon hard, and pokes at bench pokemon to prepare them for another attack from either Garchomp or Hydreigon. This deck usually wins, but with EX Pokemon rampant it can either help this deck (2 Prizes can be snagged from a smacked down EX, and I've actually had someone try to protect their EX pokemon by switching them out, sadly this let me hit 3 EX pokemon for 6 prizes) I hope I can make one with the dragon type cards that will be better than this one c'B
