Hammertime BW on

Mora said:
Why do you have Hydreigon and Hammers in the same deck? Hammertime is tight on space as it is.
Is that a joke? Hammertime has the most space for techs than any other deck.
 
Yes, that was poorly stated. Let me clarify that. Hydreigon is a bit bulky and takes up all of the space you could otherwise have used to include much more useful techs. In order to use Hydreigon effectively, you would need something like the following:

3-1-3 Hydreigon
3 Rare Candy
3 Max Potion

That's thirteen slots that I feel could be better devoted to something like this:

+1 Sableye
+2 Terrakion
+1 Bianca
+1 Computer Search/Gold Potion
+2 Energy Switch
+2 Random Receiver
+1 Tool Scrapper
+3 {F}

It's not that Hammertime is clunky; it's that Hammertime plus Hydreigon is tight as evident by the lack of Max Potion or even Rare Candy, and you lose the versatility that you could have achieved without Hydreigon. It's an interesting idea, and maybe it could work, but I'd just use the space differently. That's just me.
