What HGSS: Undaunted card has the most potential to be the main star of a deck?

Personally I think the Mismagius of this set is going to be well used because of how many trainers, supporters, and stadiums are currently used in todays decks and Mismagius' ability to "Look at your opponent's hand. This attack does 30 damage times the number of Trainer, Supporter, and Stadium cards in your opponent's hand." for 2 energy (1 psychic, 1 colorless). If anything it will become a very effective Machamp counter with a one hit kill if your opponent has 4 supporters, trainers, or stadiums.

Also, you could probably form a deck around Gliscor. It may seem odd but 1 energy for 30 dmg and a paralyze as long as that pokemon has no dmg on it and 3 energy (1 fighting, 2 colorless) for 50 dmg and a poison. It's weakness is a x2 to water which shouldn't cause too much of a problem because water decks are not used very much and the resistance to electricity can also make this an effective counter to luxray GL Lv. X.

On a side note, what do you guys think about the Smeargle that is being released in this set becoming a tech as big as even claydol because of its PokePower - "Once during your turn (before your attack), you may look at your opponent’s hand. Choose 1 Supporter card you find there and use the effect of that card as the effect of this power. This power can't be used if Smeargle is affected by a Special Condition.", which will essentially allow you to use two supporter cards a turn and determine the effectiveness of the afore mentioned Mismagius attack.

Although I think that the Lux- variants are going to be the top performers of this format until they release another set (whatever is coming after undaunted).

Just a note about smeargle. What you read was bulbapedias translation. Serebiis translation says smeargle must be ACTIVE to use it's ability. Which would make it a great deal worse. I really hope bulbapedias translation is correct :/
 
I'll try to find out the deal on Smeargle at my prerelease today. Mismagius is basically a toned down version of Gengar, the only advantage it has is it's faster and can be a good Mewtwo counter and Machamp counter. (But I still like Banette better)

Huh.... that would make it worthless, granted I hope not.

Not necessarily. You could use two each turn and still attack.

With a one retreat cost you would have to waste energy to have an attack that is worth it. Granted the ability to use 2 supporters per turn is probably worth the one energy sacrifice. Though with the worthlessness of its attack it would make more sense to have the more over powered of the two translations.

Guess most of us will find out in a few hours at the prereleases.

Unown Q.

On a different note, this card would be wicked overpowered if it didn't need to be active. The promo noctowl gets to look at your opponent's hand, and thats it. And its a stage 1. This card would look at their hand, and give you a free supporter play if there was one there. And its a basic. There's no way thats what the card does.

This wouldn't be the first time a broken card was released.

has to be active
 
That Smeargle's art is fantastic, just sayin'. I think there are quite a few cards that would make great techs, like Weavile or Vileplume, but I think in terms of being the actual MAIN CARD of a deck, Scizor, Leafeon, or Umbreon Prime (although I don't think Umbreon will be that good, people will try it...).
 
Smeargle can easily be used as a free retreat wall of meat, (ha that rhymed) after a main attacker gets KO'ed for easier recovery.
 
Combee spam focused on Shaymin LV.X and Expert Belt. 110 damage for one from a 90 hp basic? Yes please.
 
90 HP is nice and all but I'd rather be doing 90 damage from a Stage One with higher HP and Memory Berry WITHOUT Shaymin. Even though it's a basic and only takes one energy, it's still quite hard to set-up. You have to have a Vespiquen on the bench and utilize Unown P.
 
If your opponent can deal 90 damage for nothing but OHKOs, then you're kinda sunk, aren't you?
 
Umbreon or slowpoke prime I made decks revolving around them during the prerelease yesterday one on the regular event and another on the side event respectivly.
 
Combee/Vespiquen can be good, but NEEDS Shaymin Lv.X out to really do well. Otherwise, 30 or 50 HP is just laughable.
 
I think Scizor Prime, Combee and Umbreon (prime and regular) thats all I can think of.

Vileplume will be devastating, definently the best card in the set.

What deck would you use Vileplume in?
