My take on Gigas (masters/Cities)

[PlusleThePimp!]

OKay, so ive been playing a Gigas deck at League for some time now, and im considering playing it at my first CC. Here in Norway the meta is for the most VileGar, LuxChomp and now probably Gyarados. Ive played some games against LuxChomp and VileGar, and i dont have any major trouble beating those decks. I played against Gdos yesterday and noticed that the gyarados matchup is kinda hard. I played 3 games against it, and i won 1, got crushed once and the last game it wass 1-1 in prize cards but i lost. So im posting my list here hoping that you guys could maby give me some advice about what i can do to handle the Gdos matchup

So here is my take on Gigas!:

Pokemon: 16
3-1 Gigas Lv.X (2 promo, 1 Recover mechanism)
2-1 Uxie Lv.X
1-1 Dialga g Lv.X
2 Mespirit
1 Crobat g
1 Regice
1 Unown Q
1 Giratina (Let Loose)
1 Azelf
T/S/S: 30
3 Collector
4 SSU
3 Pokemon Rescue
2 Ruins of Alph (helps a lot against Gengar)
2 Junk Arm
2 Seeker
2 Judge
2 Expert Belt
2 Premier Ball
2 Twins
2 Switch
1 Warp Point
1 Luxury Ball
1 Bebes
1 Pokemon Communication
Energy: 14
4 DCE
4 Water
3 Fighting
3 Basic Metal

Im considering switching 1-1 Dialga G Lv.X with 1-1 Abomasnow (SF) Because ive heard that people are considering to start playing machamp again.

Im pretty happy with the deck as it is at the moment, but id like some tips on how to improve the deck so i hopefully at least could have a 50/50 chance ageinst Gyarados

Cyrus's Conspiracy will help you to get those basic energies, and I suggest you take out 2 SSU for 2 Bebe's. It searches for any pokemon, including LV.X. So:
-2 SSU
-1 Mesprit(1 is enough)
-2 Judge(doesn't really work)
-2 Twins(meh)

+1 Gigas X(consistency)
+2 Bebe's
+4 Cyrus's Conspiracy
Hope I helped.

I'd add some warp so you can Warp away DGX. I know nothing about key cards in Gigas though, but as long as DGX is a tech, I think that the person needs Warp energys.

Be it Machamp SF or Machamp Prime, a 1-1 Abomasnow is not going to save you from Machamp. Trust me - if you run Gigas, Machamp will be your one and only autoloss, no matter what you do.

Unless you are very skillful in use of Toxicroak G (Anticipation), you can't do a whole lot to Machamp. (I've been running Gigas for about a year now, so I know how it works and what it does well against.)

@Yoshidude: Nah...sry you didnt help much because you want me to take out a lot of cards helping me locking the opponent. The point is to use drag off gigas to drag out my opponents poe, and then use judge/Giratina to lock their hand. And 2 ssu is way to little in Gigas, twins helps alot of i sacrefice eraly game and have more prices than my opponent. I play 14 energy, so getting energy is not to big of a problem, men ill might tech in 1 oe 2 cyrus`s conspiracy.
@Glaceon: Im switching out DGX for Abomasnow, but ill consider adding a wapr energy or two
@DNA: Its true that Gigas is in BIG trouble against machamp, but with abomasnow and uxie lv.x i at least got 20% chanche to win. I actualle won against 2 machamp decks at league yesterday. The thing is that you need to have alot of luck and alot of handdistruption ageinst machamp, my opponent only got one fully evolvet machemp that game and that one i knocked out with abomasnow. Trust me...i dont mean that i will have an easy game against machamp, but i wont call it an autoloss.

Never mind then about the warps.

Oh, right, I don't own an Uxie X yet... >.< And I guess if you do play disruption you can upset Machamp pretty well. My build is more power-based, hence why I seem to have a harder time with it. Even so, beating Machamp does require a bit of luck on your side...
