and so on and so on , to me milktank your post looks like spam and you are 100% wrong , sure so lv.xs have really bad non-lv.x forms but heck . who cares! we just care about the good lv.xs and their pervous stages and what they combo with

Miltanks's post was not spam, and neither was the Palkia and Dialga X post, for it somehow related to the fact the Darkrai X was overhyped.

Now, chances of you facing G&G are not 20%. They are more along the lines of 40-50%. G&G is the best and most popular deck right now, and like Darkrai X, Gallade and Gardevoir are overhyped, but unlike Darkrai, they deserve to be.

Darkrai LV X would be good if it had a good Darkrai to go with it. Same thing with all the other LV Xs in this set. They are all decent but have no good basic to go with.

Why did you mention Magmortar and Vire in your post anyway, umbreondude?

Ok I do not mean to sound mad or upset but you just do not know my metagame. Only 7-8 people play G&G.*So if you do not know my metagame then please do not post at all*

Your meta game will effect the entire nations meta game eventually which will merge into one of the BDIF's. Not being prepared for everything is like being completely unprepared for a test. And just because only 7-8 people play G&G now, does not mean that it will remain that way. A meta is constantly changing and not considering that can mean dire consequences.

And how many of those 7-8 make top cut regularly? I bet about 50% of them do. I may hate the deck, but I do not deny its power.

You can go ahead and play Darkbliss, but as I said, underestimating the meta game is an unwise decision, whether you think its a minority or not. At States, people WILL be playing to win, which means they won't be messing around with "fun" decks. If you went into nationals with just the current sets in format, do you honestly believe that G&G would be a minority? Incredibly doubtable.

If you can beat the meta, thats cool, but take your tough match ups into consideration. Darkrai/Blissey has a VERY hard matchup because Gallade kills just about everything without having to bother to flip anything over.
 
Well, you said this was your states deck. Besides, a few of your leaguemates might switch. Changing decks is part of the fun in the TCG. And, at least as far as I'm concerned, States probably isn't going to be people from just your league. Say your league has around 40 of the 200 people that are going to be there. Say out of the extra 160, say 75 of them are playing G&G. Now, your odds of playing against G&G are now roughly 40%.

Um....I think you need to change the second sentence in your post, umbreondude. Last I checked, you are not a moderator, so you have not right to tell me what threads I am/am not allowed to post in.

And, umbreondude, I would like you to answer the following question:

Have you ACTUALLY tested out this deck, especially against decks like DWD, G&G, T2Doom, Other Gallade decks, Magmortar, Blissey, Beedrill Swarm, and maybe even against other Darkbliss (I don't call it DWB, because it sounds to much like DWD, which is way better and will become even better once Snowpint Temple Stadium (DP5) hit USA stores.)?

Hmmm....??
 
Darkrai Lv.X a bit over hyped. But DWB can work. Say Blissey gets KO'ed by Gallade, now you can send out Darkrai Lv.X to put it too sleep and do some good damage.
 
yeah but also the whole deck is weak to fighting and gallade and G&G is a big hype [gallade is the main hitter in G&G]
 
Thats the bad part, but if you can get Darkrai Lv.X to do Endless darkness then as long as they're not luck enough to wake up then its KO.
 
But as soon as the pokemon gets knocked out by darkrai.. He will most likly be a sitting duck especially to a gallade
 
Darkrai can be decent.... if played correctly. However, I do NOT think that DBW is that great. I strongly believe, if your going to run darkrai, youve gotta run it with that isnt weak to fighting. I dont really care what your meta game is, just DONT tell me that there is no one playing gallade. no one knows what a metagame is going to be. It constently changes and You dont know what people will show up with. You CAN make predictions however. And to make a dumb prediction like there wont be any gallades is not smart.
 
Oh, I just thought of something else that COULD go with Darkrai...

Drum Roll please....

*drum roll occurs*

Hypno GE!

Think about it, they both cause Sleep, Hypno completely heals itself if the Defending Pokemon is asleep, and, the best part, Hypno can counter Gallade!

If they send up Gardy, then just switch out for Darkrai.

Plus, this would probably be faster than DWB.
 
A rubbish basic that needs to be levelled up whilst active, then has a x2 weakness to the most dominant card in the format and requires [D][D][C] to attack? Yeah, I would say it's overhyped.

The Power is interesting, but I haven't yet seen a quick enough deck that can make good use of it.
 
Wigglytuff is not a bad idea but suffers from the same exact problems that Bliss does. Its a little better thanks to its ability to cause the status effect from the bench, but still lacks HP's.

If you want colorless and to play Weavile, the best bet is Togekiss. Anyone else is still much too risky.
