Garbodor Variants?

[Blah]

Don't you auto lose to VG? 40 damage a turn is horrendous, especially when they can two hit KO with Virizion and gain free retreat with Skyarrow.

Zebgarb is really strong in this format. You absolutely destroy Plasma and VG...

How so? A Team Plasma (TP) deck player setups faster and can potentially "stay" ahead in prizes due to speed, Catcher-KO "strategic" Zebs early game, "low" Zeb damage output, etc. And when you consider the current format's 50 minute match play, I don't see the advantages of ZebGarb over TP decks; so, I'd appreciate your insights from your playtesting.

ZebGarb beats Plasma since most Plasma lists have no way around Zebstrika+Silver Mirror. I guess I could see having a playable matchup against Blastoise due to Garb, but Zebstrika kills things rarher slowly and a manually charged Keldeo would sweep you. I can't see how the VG matchup is even playable for ZebGarb as G-Booster or Virizion goes through Mirrors and its a rather quick and consistent deck so you barely slow them down at all. The same goes for most Darkrai variants.
