What's changed? I know that claydol and uxie are league promos now. I need do know whats good now, and what to get. I sold my collection, so I need explanations of the current tier decks and what I should be hunting for.
 
I am more newer here but i have picked up some things in my months here.

Hot cards:
Flygon X (rising rivals)
Luxray X (rising rivals)
Shuppet (platinum)
Gengar (Stormfront and Arceus)

Hot decks
Shuppet Donk
Blazeray
Luxape
Gengar

Thats what i can think of right now. i hope this helps at least a little.

Could you provide me with decklists?
 
Welcome back to the game. You came back just as a new set is being released (Platinum: Arceus). So basically, the "hot" decks right now are Flygon, Shuppet/Uxie, and other stuff from Platinum: Arceus. I'm sure that if you look through the scans (which can be found on the main page of the website) you can find something. Definitely try to get Claydols (which aren't league promos, I'm quite sure. I could be wrong, I haven't been to league in a while, but as far as I know, only Uxie is a league promo), along with Uxies, Roseanne's, Bebe's, all that stuff. If you want a really cheap deck, you could try Shuppet/Uxie or Gyarados.

If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask.

LOL, you forgot Flygon and Gyarados, both very popular and very strong.

oh yeah whoops those are some good ones right now. gyarados is dying though i think.

Actually, Platinum: Arceus only makes Gyarados better with the addition of Expert Belt. Some argue it isn't great, but it's definitely an improvement in killing stuff with higher HP (like Flygon or Salamence) faster.
 
true with the expert belt it takes away the damage thing. plus with Expert belt Garchomp does better too.
 
I read somewhere that Claydol is a league promo. o.o

But yeah, some decklists would be wonderful. It'd really help with understanding what to look for.
 
Claydol will be a League Promo in a few months.

dmaster out.

Try lurking around in the Deck Garage or the Article Submissions. There are always some in there. But just for a head start, here is a Gyarados decklist:

4-3 Gyarados (SF)
4 Sableye SF
2 Crobat G
1-1 Luxray GL Lv.X
1 Azelf LA
1 Uxie LA
1-1 Claydol
1 Unown G
1 Regice/Registeel LA

21 Pokemon

That's a Pokemon line because I don't like giving away full decklists. I'll just say that you need about 3 Warp Energy, 3 Cyclone Energy, 3 Felicity's, 3/4 Bebe's Search, 3/4 Roseanne's Research, and a whole bunch of TSD and Pokemon Rescue.
 
Why the heck would you run a 4-3 Gyarados? I mean really? Have you ever even played Gyarados?


Heres Lou's list. It did pretty well for him through BRs. I can't say it was the best beause My freind (Lunar wing on the beach) used Gyarados to get the #1 ranking in the world. SO I would say that his or lou's were probably the best. But by looking at both lists they were very different.
 
There isn't very many good decklists posted online here so you would want to go to an experienced player at your league to get deck help.

From what I've been told by the people who told me that league started, I'm probably better than the lot of them and I'm a year out of date. >.o

Can someone explain to me how the Gyarados deck works? I don't get it.
 
So I was just given a collection with 2 baltoy/claydol, 4x of most of the good supporters, a bunch of random rares/foils, and uxie/uxie lv.x.

I also have access to 20 foil water and fighting energy, 4 multi energy, 4 special dark, and 4 special metal.

From here, what should I focus on trading for?
 
It really does depend on what you want - what deck you would like to make?

You basically dsicard Magikarps via Felicity's Drawing/Registeel/Regice and hit with 90 for 0 energy from T2-3. Sableye SF is also important for the deck so you can search out Magikarp's on T1 via Roseanne's and other helpful supporters.
 
If you can come to any of the Leagues in Tucson, I'll be playing Gyarados. You can take a look at the cards and how it runs.

dmaster out.

I played some games on redshark and got the hang of the deck, but it's kinda boring.

I'll be at Hats games on friday. I do smash/yugioh on saturdays, so no Amazing Discoveries for me.
