Well, the whole deck, just about, needs replacing to be legal for standard tournaments. But assuming you are playing with friends and they don't mind, general deck building tips are in order. I'd suggest getting somewhere between 8 and 12 good supporters. Some decks use specific sets of...

I like the variety of attackers, but like I said in the other thread no acceleration could be problematic. In this case, beast ring is a good idea, you can green's for it to set up baby blace while attaching elsewhere. .. maybe another counter gain could be good. Shadow box and ziggy both shut...

Greninja line drops 1 extra counter but you can't use candy and you have a 2 prizer bench sitter. A tanky one, but e.g. abzard could gust up and KO easy. I also don't believe in obstagoon very much, so I'm with you there, but roxie isn't enough especially without koffings, so I'd say commit to...

This explains standard vs expanded better than I can: https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/2020-season-pokemon-tcg-format-rotation/ But the tl;dr version is standard is ultra prism and newer right now, and expanded is black and white and newer, with a couple of bans.

My brain is stuck in standard, sorry. In that case, have you tested it? And if so what is roughly the success rate?

I honestly have no idea, but it reminds me of the unown damage decks, which makes me wonder if an archie's blastoise version with frozen city could also work.

Yeah morpeko is probably the most likely to be meta relevant. But I like to explore all options. You could do honchcrow rip and run, make a hand control deck that threatens KOs. Or donphan or hitmontop, who both force your opponent to switch as well (to mess up mallow and lana plays). Morpeko...

It's a great option for morpeko V or any existing hit and run attackers (beheeyem, hitmonchan, sawsbuck, greninja GX, even beedrill). Even without Will (which is limited to "this" as in your own turn), nobody is going to want to flip to see if their tag team or V max will get KOed so they will...

Play control or stall. Or take the max 330HP, add 120 for Mallow/Lana, divide 450 by 2 to get your target of 225(round up to 230) for your two-shot target. Sell all cards not named Reshizard and cry.

Yeah, lol, xatu wasn't consistent because you need to play a supporter and a stadium each time you attack with your 2 energy stage 1 with 1 HP. It was a fun experiment though.

Speaking from the point of view of someone who started around the time ULP came out, who mostly tries to make meme decks into playable rogues, and who has no competitive experience... I get that there are cycles in the game, and I get that what I play is not meta, so I can't say for certain...

If shrine doesn't help as much anymore, what about a 2-0-2 Delphox line? Rosa can help get a stage 2 tech in play, and it will allow you to continue to be mallow/lana-proof. It would also finish off 1 prizers. Then you don't have to worry about Swell either.

Nice job!

I just realized why N was a bad idea, derp, sorry about that. Maybe a one of ace trainer makes sense, but don't cut another supporter for it. Colress might be good, but if green's tag team decks are expected maybe not.

Trumbeak isn't grass... not sure if it matters (if it does, maybe do +2 blender and +1 kartana). As for cards that are better, N gives you shuffle draw and disruption, so might be better than either Cynthia or Lillie or you might want all 3. Level ball would grab everything in deck, so that is...

Oh, yeah, I forgot aqua patch worked that way.:oops: so yeah, it will be tough, but will probably happen sometimes.

We should probably keep in mind that some things are about to be addressed with SWSH. Evolution incense is everything timer ball should have been, the new 3 prizers coming out will be evolutions themselves, metal patch will provide acceleration to something other than fire, providing at least a...

My biggest problems with the current state of standard could easily be fixed with just a few things that rotated just this summer, namely machoke to block cross division and other counter based spread, nest/ultra ball (which we get decent alternatives to with sword and shield) and heal block...

Two energy attach is rough on a basic, unless you either accelerate or stall. For acceleration you could use weavile/red-blue/naganadel. Or, play some on board draw and go with bede to get that second energy. For stall you could play 4 dolls and have a tyrogue on the bench to possibly drop 3...
