RE: The Storms ~ This format is ours! Battle Roads time
Here's an updated on my Battle Road Season:
Week 1: 4-1 (missed top cut due to tie breakers) Arceus Deck
Week 2: 3-2 Arceus Deck
Week 3a: 7-0 1st Place Arceus Deck
Week 3b: 3-2 Legend Deck
I'll miss the final battle roads in our area. However, I managed to win last night's Battle Roads.
First 3 Rounds were against various rouge decks.
Round 4 was vs an SP Deck (one of the Top 4)
Round 5 was vs another SP (Another Top 4)
Finals 1 was vs another SP Deck (won 2-1 on time called and first prize taken)
Finals 2 was vs the same deck from Round 5 (won 2-0)
It was pretty interesting. Of everything Non-SP is the most problematic. Even playing against the SP decks, the Non-SP stuff was the most difficult.
The Arceus Deck evolved quite a bit since the beginning of the season.
Most notable:
-1 Water Arceus (1 left in deck)
-1 Dark Arceus (1 left in deck)
+1 Electric arceus (2 in deck)
-1 Water energy; -1 Dark Energy; +2 Electric Energy
Other Adds were +2 expert belt, +3 warp energy.
It ran pretty tight and played hard. It was also the only Non-SP in the Top 4 cut of any of our 4 battle Roads.
Today (week 3b), I played my legend deck; as I say i would run it, if I won with Arceus in a Battle Roads. Round 1 I got donked. Round 2, With 2 prizes left, I watched as my opponent KO'ed a benched Vulpix with Unown ! (yes !), and then pokemon reversaled my fully powered RDL and machamp'ed it for a 3 prize come back win. After that, I took out 3 straight lower ranked opponents. Pretty fun deck tho, some tweeks and it should be more competitive (tho it's already pretty strong against SP)
I'll take 17-5 (with a Victory Medal) for the season any day.
