    Standard Silvally-GX Anti-Meta Deck

    @Lord Goomy Thanks for presenting your ideas, I definitely enjoy continuing the conversation :) I was curious about using Xerneas prism so I decided to try it last night (one last try before my break), I didn’t actually need it in any of the matches I played. First match was against...

    Standard Silvally-GX Anti-Meta Deck

    @Lord Goomy I completely agree, I would love to have more memories in the deck but I kept them to the bare minimum for 2 reasons: 1. Deck space, in order to improve some of the match-ups in the current meta the deck needed to have certain techs available 2. Too many tools clog up the deck...

    Standard Silvally-GX Anti-Meta Deck

    @izuef In my experience I find that this deck is 50/50 against the aggressive decks. I have steam rolled Pikarom, Blacephalon, Rayquaza, and Ultra Necrozma decks with this deck. The key is to hold onto the memory cards/Choice band until they don't see it coming then get 4(or 5) prizes in two...

    Standard Silvally-GX Anti-Meta Deck

    I'm about to take a hiatus from the pokemon trading card game but I wanted to leave you with a deck I've been working on for a few months. The strategy of this deck is to take advantage of weakness with Silvally-GX + Memory Tool cards. Silvally also has the added benefit of free retreat for...

    Standard Marshadow GX Toolbox (SHADOWBOX!)

    For sure, I was thinking the same thing! Promo Dusk mane's "Dusk Shot" is a great attack. I just had a look at the Celestial storm set and I think Sableye and Regirock have great attacks that could be copied as well. The Oricorios aren't too bad either, especially the lightning one. There are...

    Standard Marshadow GX Toolbox (SHADOWBOX!)

    @pokeyogi Nope, but I'd love to collab on one! Zoroark will definitely be a key player in the rotation deck! Zoroark's acceleration of pokemon into the discard is great. It's also great as a backup attacker. Possible remaining techs: Drampa-GX, "Dark Raid" Darkrai, Necrozma-GX, psychic...

    I found that Noivern-GX is also a good Malamar partner :D

    Standard Garbodor/Noibat Troll Deck

    I've been getting varied success with a similar concept. I added Noivern-GX to mostly tank hits and suppress items for forced discarding. I also added Shining Celebi to the deck to be able to work with Noivern. You use Noivern to block items until your opponents hand since gets big and then use...

    Standard Salazzle/Infernape/Seviper

    I've been putting in a bunch of matches on PTCGO trying to get this deck to be competitive. I've tried just using Infernape and Monferno as the primary attackers + promo Lurantis. I've tried using "Searing Flame" Turtonator + promo Lurnatis. I've also used Hoopa from Steam Siege as a psychic...

    Standard Salazzle/Infernape/Seviper

    I've seen someone running this deck with it's main attacker as Turtonator, not the one you are thinking of, nope not the other one, the other other Turtonator from forbidden light :) It's attack guarantees burn and it's a tanky card. Could hit for more if promo Lurantis is included.

    Standard Unlikely Pairing - Unit Energy Deck - Salazzle-GX/Lurantis-GX

    Packs are the currency of PTCGO. Use the code code cards you find in packs to trade for the singles you need in PTCGO. Lurantis-GX and Salazzle-GX will be easy to trade for, promo Lurantis may be a little trickier. Buy bulk codes from your LGS. Tapu Lele-GX is difficult to trade for but if you...

    Standard Unlikely Pairing - Unit Energy Deck - Salazzle-GX/Lurantis-GX

    @Trendy67 I'm really glad you're having fun with this deck! I definitely agree that locking out Dawn Wings Necrozma-GX with Alolan Muk is awesome :) Oh yes and those attacking Hoopa players never saw it coming! I did put in quite a few matches in with "Hot poison" Salazzle as well, while it...

    Standard Unlikely Pairing - Unit Energy Deck - Salazzle-GX/Lurantis-GX

    Hi @Trendy67 I'm glad you like the deck! Yes the rotation will certain change things up for this deck. While I'm no expert in predicting how the post rotation Meta will look in terms of deck staples, I can certainly offer some hunches: Champion Road will bring a new draw supporter called...

    :) Empty light is going to leave your opponents active confused and poisoned, so you can lay it down, power it up with two Malmar and an regular energy attachment, retreat your active and then do your GX attack. Then you survive if the coin flip goes your way on the confusion. It may not be the...

    Can't forget about Nihilego-GX, the GX attack is busted! :D

    Discussion Zygarde GX Pairability

    In my mind Zoroark-GX would be a good choice due to the double colorless energy synergy. Lycanroc-GX is another pokemon that benefits from double colorless energy (but also has grass weakness) Lucario-GX is another option. Carbink Break is a good choice to accelerate energy onto Zygarde.

    Expanded Fighting Ninja Toolbox (Anti-Meta)

    Cool deck idea! I like the Winona + all the colorless pokemon combo and the toolbox strategy. I feel like even a single copy of Marshadow-GX would be beneficial. It has great synergy with Korrina, Battle compressor and Fighting energy. But keep in mind that if you use Marshadow, Fighting Fury...

    Standard Unlikely Pairing - Unit Energy Deck - Salazzle-GX/Lurantis-GX

    Alright! After a bunch of testing and some great results in the PTCGO Event arena (5 top spots this weekend out of 8). I finally have an optimized list (for the current meta): ****** Pokémon Trading Card Game Deck List ****** ##Pokémon - 20 * 3 Salandit UPR 25 * 3 Salazzle-GX BUS 132 * 4...

    Standard Unlikely Pairing - Unit Energy Deck - Salazzle-GX/Lurantis-GX

    I finally had some matchups against Volc and Fighting Hoopa, and Alolan Muk definitely put in work! Muk completely shut off Hoopa's ability and I was easily able to power up a Salazzle, take knockouts and win the match. Muk also completely shutdown steam ups on Volc-EX and Oranguru's drawing...
