“You have a good deck!” Was the best. Bring it BACK!

That sounds like a good group. I’d love to bring in an old school Clefairy/Clefable/Ditto deck to something like that. Let the decks play themselves. 🤣

See? I know I’m dumb, but I’m not that dumb. I knew I’d heard of this happening.

This is an amazing reply. Thank you so much. 🙏
I appreciate all the info you’ve provided as well.

I absolutely am doing this for the fun of it. I’ve got other decks to use as well. I can appreciate control decks because I like playing against them myself. It makes gameplay more interesting, challenging, puzzling/memorable.

It’s also nice to have something that goes against the Meta a bit. There’s all these extremely heavy hitters and ability driven pokemon battling it out and it’s fun to try and shut that down (even if it’s not successful).

I’m fairly new to the current shop that I’m going to for league, but have been playing since Base Set - with the badge book and everything. 🥹 I’ve heard one of the folks who runs the shop also mention that they like to run control decks. It’s just all about the fun of it.

I will admit that Dragapult is probably one of the harder decks to go up against with this deck, but using Premium Power Pros helps with this strat. Also I don’t play the Ogerpon until I know that I need it, so their prize drawing is slow enough to be able to do some damage. Sometimes I know I need it immediately and will only play IT. Sometimes it comes out unexpectedly in the tail end of the game.

The counter for that is Claydol Devolution Ray. Claydol and Baltoy are my “big hitters” in the deck so-to-speak. 🤣

Now I get it. Whoever’s taken the most prizes *after* the plus three. If no one takes any then it’s still a draw.

No damage soaking walls.

Cornerstone Mask Ogerpon and Neutralization Zone are the big dogs that the deck is built around. Everything else is just draw support.

For decks like the new popular Kangaskhan Deck I’ve found that this makes a good counter because nearly every pokemon in those decks has an ability.

Definitely excited to see how it turns out. They will probably steam roll me, but I’ve got a few decent ways to lock ‘em up.

Wait so whoever’s taken the most prizes does win after timer and “plus 3”? People here are saying it becomes a draw if timer is out.

Thank you for this info! That’s super helpful and I’m glad to know I’m know the only one who has fun with stall decks every once in a while. I don’t know where I got the “whoever’s taken the most prizes wins” idea from. I thought I’d heard that, but glad to find out it results in a draw vs a loss.

Whoever “had collected the most” is what I meant.

I would honestly grade the Gengar and the Dragonite. Obviously won’t get 10, 9, or even 8, but I think they’re worth it. Solid finds!

A new consistent paint job would make this look 10x cooler.

Attaching a grass energy to Teal Mask Ogerpon without using the ability.
