Deck Archetype Galarian Cursola Discussion Thread

Can I take his place? Give me free stuff!
I don't have any Standard decks built atm, so that would be the only way I could play lol.
oh what now the two threads were merged together?
Yeah, doesn't make sense to have two threads for the exact same thing.
Both of the lists have completely different ideas.
Yeah, but they were both made as discussion threads, not Deck Garage threads. Seeing different ideas is the whole point, rather than the specific improvement of any one list.
oh, thats weird. i wonder why pokeman didnt make it a deck garage thread
A deck garage is for fixing. Their deck was obviously flawless didnt you know
Oh, right, of course, just like the previous ones. It's not hatterene but its still flawless.
We used to have a whole section for Metagame deck discussion threads with a thread for each of the Meta decks complete with a skeleton list, tech options, links to lists that did really well in big events.
Deck Garage is for players who want advise on their lists, this thread is more for discussion about the deck itself, its matchups, tier status, etc. I think Pokeman was looking more for the latter.
Sure, why not. I had traded for all the components of the cursola deck while i was waiting for Pokeman to respond so if you want it just DM me your PTCGO name so i can trade it to youCan I take his place? Give me free stuff!

100% correct! Let's all stay on topic and maybe cut the negativity, and then I won't have to lock the thread!
@Pokeman sorry I yoinked your cards from CrownAxe. I've been playing around with the list, and with all the 3-prizers in format, I definitely see the potential. The list hasn't been very consistent for me, so I'm making a few changes, cutting Draw Energy in favor of Capture Energy, Ordinary Rod for Brocks Grit, some of the random disruption Trainers for Cynthia, and a thicker Shedinja line. I have mixed feelings on Stephen's Resolve. Obviously you can't attack the turn you play it, but I'm no so sure that's a big deal. Corner is kinda mehh anyways, you're mostly going to be taking KO's with the Ability, not the attack. I thought about playing an Energy-less version of the deck, but the retreat lock is definitely good in certain situations. Here's my current list. It's a work in progress; I'm definitely planning to make more changes.

Yeah this deck turned out not to be the greatest atm, I’ve entered a bigger current event and could see the finals, it’s something I’ll highly reconsider when the next set comes out!
ok so
1.This deck autoloses to baby blowns because they can just attack six times, although you need to flip at least one tails on cursola to lose if you use shedinja. Baby blowns is one of the "big four" decks so thats not great.
2.
3. Your opponent can ko galarian corsolas before they evolve. Whether you go first or second, your opponent will have a chance to take a free prize and give you minus one cursola. Plus, unless you put down all four corsolas t1, youll have to put them down later on and then theyll be vulnerable for a turn before you can evolve it, and your opponent can gust it up. (or baby blowns, which plays no gust, can cramorant v them)
4. Even if your opponent does run out of switches, they can just tool scrapper away the ear ringing bells.
5. What if you get a bad hand
6. You probably lose to adpz. They use altered creation and then attack three times. They take two prizes every time they attack and you take two prizes every time but on a coin flip. I'm pretty sure that they ko before you do so you lose. They can also do the gust up corsola thing as well. Technically combo zacian (another one of the big four can do the same thing if they pull off the jirachi prism star combo a bunch of times (and of course they can still do the gust up corsola thing).
I am such a dumb.

Well, switch (a card every deck plays) removes confusion and gets your opponents active pokemon out of the active so corners side effect is useless. Scoop up net also works as baby blowns. You play oleana to counter this, but they can just get another switch/net

I played Cursola in plagueleague's new weekly ptcgo event, and somehow managed to get first place. I played against Zacian, Spiritomb, and then my 3rd round opponent left before we could play. As promised, I recorded all of my games, but it seems they recorded as flv files, and I'm going to have to convert them to mp4 first, which is going to take a while. Here's *my list. In the meantime, I'll see what I can do about the recorded gameplay.
Pokémon: 23
Pokémon: 23
- 4-4 Galarian Cursola
- 4-4 Shedinja
- 3 Jirachi
- 1-1 Malamar
- 1 Ditto
- 1 Phione
- 4 Cynthia
- 4 Marnie
- 1 Brock's Grit
- 4 Mysterious Treasure
- 4 Pokémon Communication
- 3 Lillie's Poké Doll
- 3 Scoop Up Net
- 2 Escape Board
- 1 Ordinary Rod
- 3 Sky Pillar
- 4 Psychic Energy
- 4 Capture Energy
You should play professors research.
Why are Christmas miracles happening in June
I agree with that. Maybe they were worried about discarding the recovery options with Research. Idk.
I’m not going to lie, I really like this other list better! But it’s not perfect, I wouldn’t bother with a 1-1 Malamar, I’d stick to just 4-4 Cursola & 4-4 Shedninja. So they can’t bosses orders anything up that you can’t potentially knock out
I’d play 4 ordinary rods vs 1 and a brocks grit too, that seems really aweful! 4 rods allows you to be able to recycle often and when needed too.
