+ 2 Victory Medal, this card is amazing in DD, great search with lucky flips, and great draw, can be retrieved with Junk Arm in a tight situation.
+1 Ruins of Alph. No resistance for Yanmega.
 
RE: Community Decklist #4: Donphan/Dragons (Donphan/Reshiram/Zekrom)

This looks mostly solid to me, but there are just some weird things about this list that could make it more consistent.

Smeargle is not the best starter you could have. It could really hurt to use a Juniper when you don't want to. Far too risky IMO.

I don't find Victory Medal as absolutely necessary. Not everybody has access to it, and I think bumping up the (more consistent) drawpower could really work better.

-1 Smeargle
-2 Victory Medal
+1 Professor Oak's New Theory
+2 Judge

Drawpower is always nice in this kind of deck where it's not built in IMO. Supporters are the best way to achieve that and Judge can hurt your opponent's as well (especially if they're Reshiplosion and you're lucky enough to have them get dead draws). Let's leave the coin flips for Reversal and Tyrogue. :p

dmaster out.
 
RE: Community Decklist #4: Donphan/Dragons (Donphan/Reshiram/Zekrom)

+2 Seeker. Can heal up guys on the bench that got hurt a bit before you got set up from their Yanmega/Kindra.
 
RE: Community Decklist #4: Donphan/Dragons (Donphan/Reshiram/Zekrom)

-3 reversal +3 pokémon catcher.. no more flips (im asuming i can add ep cards cuz there is no more turnys before it comes out and cuzvwe know whats,in the set)
 
RE: Community Decklist #4: Donphan/Dragons (Donphan/Reshiram/Zekrom)

-2 Judge
+2 Professor Juniper
I think it's better hand refresh, and i don't think this deck needs disruption.

-1 seeker
+1 Super Scoop Up
You have to flip, but it doesn't count for your supporter for the turn AND it's re-usable with junk arm. (I'd swap both but i can only do 3 cards)
 
RE: Community Decklist #4: Donphan/Dragons (Donphan/Reshiram/Zekrom)

-1 Tyrogue HG/SS (Because it's just a wasted space in this format. Catcher is a baby exterminator.)
-1 Seeker (One Seeker isn't going to help and/or significantly swing the game in most situations.)
-1 Super Scoop Up (One is too inconsistant for a flippy card.)

+1 Flower Shop Lady (Needs some form of recovery.)
+2 Sage's Training (For when you need a card you can't search out, but want to keep your hand.)
 
RE: Community Decklist #4: Donphan/Dragons (Donphan/Reshiram/Zekrom)

How does this list not have a Boufallant? That card won me at least 2 games at Nationals.

-1 Fighting Energy (lol I have nine energy total in my DD list)
+1 Boufallant

Also, Pokemon Catcher is much much more important than Pluspower.
-1 Pluspower
+1 Pokemon Catcher.

Ok. Sweet Deal
 
RE: Community Decklist #4: Donphan/Dragons (Donphan/Reshiram/Zekrom)

-2 Copycat not reliable hand refresh
+1 PlusPower needs 4 to ensure KOs
+1 Revive can rescue reshis and zekys, also reusable with Junk Arm
 
RE: Community Decklist #4: Donphan/Dragons (Donphan/Reshiram/Zekrom)

We're not going to be including cards that are in future sets unless it's coming out in a timely fashion. Emerging Powers is fine because it's releasing in a couple weeks. Change the Super Rod addition if you want.

dmaster out.
 
RE: Community Decklist #4: Donphan/Dragons (Donphan/Reshiram/Zekrom)

Oh, I thought Super Rod was in EP. Edited.
 
RE: Community Decklist #4: Donphan/Dragons (Donphan/Reshiram/Zekrom)

If there are no more changes to be made, this will be closed soon.
 
RE: Community Decklist #4: Donphan/Dragons (Donphan/Reshiram/Zekrom)

Has anyone tested with this cuz it is good. Like..really good. I've been testing with it against megazone and reshiphlosion for a couple of hours and I haven't lost...once. There have been a few close calls but otherwise it's astonishing. Good call guys, and start playing with this!
 
RE: Community Decklist #4: Donphan/Dragons (Donphan/Reshiram/Zekrom)

Can you post the original list in spoiler tags? I'm very interested to see the progression. If you can't can you atleast pm it to me?
 
RE: Community Decklist #4: Donphan/Dragons (Donphan/Reshiram/Zekrom)

Drop these. I find them to be unnecessary, and the spots need to be used for consistancy cards. So get rid of:
1 Zekrom BW
1 Bouffalant BW
1 PlusPower

And add:
2 CopyCat
1 Bianca

This deck needs these. It doesn't have enough of the consistancy supporters.
 
RE: Community Decklist #4: Donphan/Dragons (Donphan/Reshiram/Zekrom)

The deck looks semi-solid. What I am concerned with if bearplume takes off this deck will hurt.

How about adding a 1-1 doduo for the 2 less retreat. That way, donphan will still have to pay, but not as much.

-1 junk arm
-1 revive

+1-1 doduo
 
RE: Community Decklist #4: Donphan/Dragons (Donphan/Reshiram/Zekrom)

Whoa, what is more than one reshiram doing in here? The only point of it is to nerf Kingdra Prime.

-1 Reshiram
+1 Zekrom

Otherwise seems pretty solid.
 
RE: Community Decklist #4: Donphan/Dragons (Donphan/Reshiram/Zekrom)

Time for a new community decklist poll in the future!
