Which do you think will do better in States: Blazetran, Magran, or Inferan?
Click to expand...

Magran, Blazetran, then Inferan. Magran has an auto 30 burn, 100 snipe and massive damage to the defending. Blazetran has Auto 20 burn adn 100 to the defending. Inferan is flippy for 80, 160, 240...
 
^Why would you play the PT one? LOL 2 md 2 sf. :/ Anyways, with the new blaze, its definately blaze, mag, then infernape. All three are amazing and should see rise in play due to shaymin people goin nuts. :/

Stun Drapion...do you mean Lockdown? What is the combo?
Click to expand...

use the palkia lv.x/weavile combo to lock up your opponents active then attack with drapion and use mesprit to power lock your opponent.
so there active locked and they cant use powers.
 
Alright guys, I got a few decks I need to test, but some may not be worth testing. Which of my decks (or just decks) will do best at states?

-Rhycatty
-Drapion/Weavile/Palkia X
-Infernape PT/Heatran X (fast as Rampardos)
-Rampardos
-Giratina X/Togekiss omastar
-Galactic's toolbox
-BlastCatty
-Torterrible

Which ONE SHOULD I PLAY?
 
Hmmm, I wonder why the AZ States hasn't been entered yet. I hope we have one this season. -0-

dmaster out.

Yeah, that's Lockdown. Didn't think of Mesprit, but good luck finding the benchroom for them. :\

Hmmm, I'd say Inferan. I'm partial to Drapion decks, but Lockdown is easily countered with Warp Points, Switches, etc.
 
Fallenone: Yeah, the PT Infernape is what I would go with, it is fast and possibly 160 T1 is great. I also want to ask, what is Drapion lockdown? Is it making the opp. posioned, not able to retreat, and sniping?
 
Locking their defending to be a useless Tech that can't retreat. Then, hit for 40 and 40 to their Main attacker. Then heal the damage to the tech with Unown K.

Early donk. 80 on first turn. Rage is pretty awesome, if Rampardos hits you for 80 early, you could use rage for 2 energy and do 110 and with 2 PP 130 KO. I would say that if I had 4 energy in play, at least 2 are heads, 160.

That is why PT. SF, is not really that great, the power is AMAZING, but oh well.

Try: 2 PT, 1 MD, 1 SF.


FALLEN: Thanks for Clarifications!

I was playing a ridiculously fast T-Tar deck yesterday. I had taken 3 prizes while he hadn't taken any. He was going to kill my Drapion next turn, but I had another one ready to hammer him.

I can argue this all day, but I say that Drapion = Metagame.

okay then show me how to beat G&G with it if get ploxed early and drapions weakness = autoloss to G&G
Click to expand...

Plox is garbage. "OMG! The new gardy can move energy!" If you can't get energy, then...no way...you can't attack early.

Dude PLOX was good last format, but no DRE or SE, you are mad. PLOX is so garbo, it doesn't matter.

Gardy = 3 turns to charge
Drapion = 3 turns...weavile...then 2 turns.

Drapion = posion for 3
Gardy = 60 and power lock (lock is good)

Drapion = hits benched for 40 and active for 40 + no retreat
Gardy = 60. No powers.

Drapion: Same amount of HP, stage 1
Gardy: Stage 2

Gallade: Puts itself on the bench
Drapion: Snipes and kills it with a crobat G.


MY META THOUGHTS:

RAMPARDOS > KINGDRA > RYHCATTY>MACHAMP> HEATRAN VARIANTS>SHAYMIN VARIANTS>DRAPION> AMPHYLOCK>BLASTCATTY>TORTERRIBLE>PLOX>GALACTIC'S TOOLBOX>NOOB DECKS THAT HAVE NO SYNERGY.
 
You can't really name a best deck in a format like DP-PT. Every deck has its pros and cons. Sure, we'll see Tier 1 and 2, but each tier will have several decks.

I agree with n00b being on the bottom. Though isn't that where n00b has always been?
 
Yeah I mean: imagine a battle at States: Galactic's Toolbox vs. Mightyena LA/Butterfree GE/Skuntank SF. Who would win?
 
Good point. I think it should be between Machamp and Heatran variants (which I'm playing :D).

You don't think Gigas will be seen?

Not really. Rampardos is just way too threatening for Gigas to survive against it. One PlusPower even kills the Level X with Snowpoint in play.

Such ignorance... *shakes head and goes into corner with Amt*
 
^if your scared of tier 1 decks then i don't think drapion>all... it is a good deck though, just kinda slow and clunky.

What DOESN'T Rampardos threaten?
 
^Really? how does that work? Ramardos gets by resistance. Anything with resistance and dialgia gives rampardos a horrible. A good galatic deck is a good example.
