DOX's PreWorlds Article Extravaganza: Article One - Donphans and Dragons

1-0-1...the chances of one of those, or the rare candy being prized, are too high to count on it. Plus, Rare Candy is unsearchable so you need 2-3 if you intend to get it out. I'd say 2-1-2 line with 2-3 Rare Candy is the way to go. It may take up space, but its necessary.

If Samurott were meant to be in this deck, it would be called Donphan Samurott wouldn't it? Ask anyone who played this deck at Nats, it is a horrible idea to play Samurott. What is it suppose to do that Donphan can't already accomplish? The only reason that this deck can stand up to the meta is its consistency, adding a 8 card bad tech that is a worse version of your main attacker is not going to do you any favors. Sorry, Donphan Samurott is a good deck, but it is a different deck from Donphan Dragons. That is like calling Stage 1 Toolbox Yanmega Magnezone because they are both playing Yanmega, there is a difference that people are clearly not seeing.

How come I have a feeling that I have already made this argument? Maybe it got deleted.

Killing Reshiram and enemy Donphan that otherwise stand a good chance. It does take up a bit of space, that's why its optional. We're simply listing options to beat Reshiram and Donphan.
