I believe this is the list I played at Nationals in 2006. I’m not sure which list this is! My testing team and I refined the list even further and I felt our Worlds list was perfect, though I don’t have it saved. I know we played 1-2 Celebi ex POP2 to give ourselves even more options and 1 Sudowoodo UF to give us the win against Raichu/Exeggutor decks. I can’t remember what we might have taken out though.

I went 5-3 and missed cut at Worlds due to a slight misplay in a close game against Rock Lock (I didn’t test against it enough as I thought no one would play it) and I got stalled out one round with a judge watching. :thumbsup:

This is one of the ultimate “outplay your opponent” decks of all time.

Worlds list! This was as good as it got.

Could anyone explain the strategy of this deck? I know it’s basically set up all your stage2’s and have Lugia ex blow everything up but I’d like to know how to run the deck the best, thanks!

#6

I think Steelix ex is there to snipe things like Pidgeot, which was quite a popular card. Pokemon Retriever brings back your Holon Pokemon - the deck relies on them for Energy.
