Future Dragons Exalted Deck

[KenXEcker]

Hey guys, it's been a while since I've posted, so I thought share with you my newest deck strategy that I will be using for next season.

Pokemon: 15

3-1-3 Hydreigon (Dragons Exalted)

3 Darkrai EX

1 Shaymin EX

3 Sableye

1 Mew EX (Dragons Exalted)

 

Supporters/Trainers: 33

4 Professor Juniper

4 N

3 Bianca

4 Pokemon Catcher

3 Rare Candy

2 Level Ball

2 Eviolite

3 Max Potion

3 Ultra Ball

2 Random Reciever

3 Dark Patch

 

Energy: 12

8 Darkness Energy

4 Blend Energy (GFPD Dragons Exalted)



For those who are unaware of some of the newer cards and what they do:

Hydreigon

150 HP Dragon Type

Ability: Dark Trance
As often as you like during your turn (before you attack), you may move a Dark energy attached to one of your Pokemon to another of your Pokemon.

PDDC Dragon Blast 140
Discard 2 Dark Energy attached to Hydreigon

Weak: Dragon. Resist: None
Retreat: 3


Mew EX

120 HP Psychic Type

Ability: Versatile
This Pokemon can use the attacks of all Pokemon in play as its own. (You still need the necessary energy to use each attack)

P Replace
You may move as many energy cards attached to your Pokemon as you like to any of your other Pokemon.

Weak: Psychic. Resist: None
Retreat: 1


Blend Energy GFPD
Special Energy

While in play, this card provides either Grass, Fire, Psychic, or Dark type of energy, but provides only 1 energy at a time. (While not in play, Blend Energy GFPD counts as Colorless Energy)


Strategy:

Pokemon:
The idea is to use Hydreigon's ability to move around Dark energy, much like how Klingklang with Metal energy is doing currently in the meta. Darkrai provides the free retreat, and considered the main attacker of the deck. Being a mostly Dark deck, I'm going to have issues with Terrakion and his EX form to release in Dragons Exalted. This is resolved with Shaymin EX as a last resort revenge killer. Mew EX is a great addition, as it can use the attacks of ALL Pokemon in play, assuming I have the necessary energy. This is great for when the opponent has a Mewtwo on the field so I can use its X ball against it, or if I want to use my own Darkrai's Night Spear, but don't want to risk the darkrai dying. Sabeleye is a must in a BW-on format as it helps me retrieve trainers from the discard.

Trainers:
With the amount of abuse with free retreat and energy switching, max potion is a must, as a smart player will move all the energy away from the damaged pokemon before using Max Potion. I have found Bianca to be quite useful, as I find myself with a near empty hand quickly. Come rotation, we will all be forced to use the ball engine, so that is pretty standard. Use Ultra ball to discard Dark energy and fish them back with Dark patch for energy acceleration. Juniper and N are staples for draw power, and every deck should have catcher in it to stall your opponent and put them in a bad spot.

Energy:
The blend energy is perfect for is deck, allowing me to use Mew and Shaymin to their fullest extent, not to mention the ability to attack with Hydreigon.

Conclusion: Sorry its a bit lengthy, but I love this deck so much, I can't wait to build it in real life, it will definitely turn heads next season.

I am planning on running this next format too. Your deck list looks really solid. I would drop Bianca down to two for a third Random Receiver, but that's personal preference. I would personally max out on Dark Patch but with eight basic dark, I can see why you run three. It's good to see someone else posting a strong deck list in the TCG garage.

I think more Random Receiver would be a good idea. And I wonder how you'll get all those energy into play consistently.

Don't have any other suggestions. It's late and I'm not terribly familiar with this deck.

 

[KenXEcker]

In reality, I don't need to have much more than 3 or 4 energy in play because I can move them around as I please with Hydreigon.

I might drop a juniper for the random receiver, because Bianca really helps out. (I never ever thought I'd actually say that, it used to seem to be a horrible supporter)

 

[Overlord Drakow]

Don't drop a Juniper >_<

I suppose you've done the play testing but Juniper is god like for dumping those energies into the yard for Dark Patch.

If you really want, drop an N.

Yeah that seems to make more sense... I shouldn't make deck decisions when I'm half asleep xD
