* 3 Yveltal PR-XY XY06
* 1 Yveltal BKT 94
* 1 Yveltal-EX XY 79

I went 4-1 at the last league challenge, winning against 2 Mmewtwo, 1 yanmega, 1 rainbow road; and only losing to vespi/yanmega due to bad draws (but i won 2 times against it on practice)
plz some positive feedback

Maybe drop the giovanni's scheme for another reverse valley to win the stadium wars.

Congrats on your tournament wins. I actually won an LC with a similar deck; so, the "options" of this deck make it quite formidable, IMO.

I believe your list is quite solid (props); and at this point, you may need to only tweak a few cards based upon your personal playing style and/or local meta-game.

Thoughts for your consideration:

• Like you, I've forund Zoroak BREAK to be clutch many times, but I would not replace it as much as find another spot for Umbreon EX. Should you decide to incorporate an Umbreon EX, STRONGLY consider keeping the Ninja Boy which can facilitate the needed, sneaky switch to Umbreon EX.
• Given that you are running Zoroark and Float Stones, Escape Rope seems excessive.
• Is the Hex Maniac really useful?
• Running only 1 Lysandre is quite risky and places you at a disadvantage should this sole Supporter be prized.
• The deck's 2 Stadiums are woefully insufficient, IMO. From my experience, 3, 3 + Delinquent or 4 Stadiums work best.

I hope you find these comments helpful.

I love this decklist, Dark-box is my personal favorite for 2017 Format
However, I experimented with it a lot and found that an even 2-2 split of the Yveltal (XY) and Yveltal (BKP) is a lot more consistent. Being able to snipe EXS on the bench is very very useful, especially with the tool shut down. Furthermore, I would bump the Sycamore line up to 4 if you're only running 1 Shaymin. With Dark-box, Turn 1 speed is vital to beat your matchups. I would also cut a Hex Maniac and Escape Rope, and add 1 more Yveltal EX and 1 Umbreon EX. being able to Ninja Boy out Umbreon EX is incredible, I actually took 4 prizes on a mega Sceptile at an LC overall your list is very strong though.

First ty all for the feed back
Dropping giovanni could be a good option, since compressor rotaded, its harder to use a became a lot more situational
Ill try running Zoroark break and umbreon at the same time (ninjaboy is a must if you play umbreon)
Now that i think about escape rope, maybe another lysandre would be better
Hex Maniac is really necessary, chainning against yanmega is the only reason I can win
Maybe 2 reverse valley and 1 parallel city would improve my rainbow road matchup (last win was luck)
And there are 4 sycamore, is just that PTCGO splithem into 2 FA and 2 regular
Ill consider 2-2 split, i use 3-1 just for consistency at the start

Changes:
-1 Giovanni
-1 Escape Rope
-1 Fighting Fury Belt
-1 Yveltal Baby
+1 Umbreon-ex
+1 Parallel City
+1 Lysandre
+1 Yveltal BKT

Are them ok?
