Never try to go rouge, it will fail you, unless you are Ross Cawthon.
I thought I was making a good meta call, I was wrong. I made a deck called Banette/Crawdaunt, hoping that an evolution and energy lock would work. It was a very tight deck. It (in theory) had good match-ups against Vespiquen, Tyrantrum, and Mega Evolution decks. Here's the list I played:
Pokemon-18
4 Shuppet
4 Banette
4 Corphish
4 Crawdaunt
1 Jirachi
1 ShayminEX
Trainers-38
4 Professor Sycamore
4 Shauna
2 AZ
1 Lysandre
1 Team Flare Grunt
4 VS Seeker
4 Super Scoop Up
4 Enhanced Hammer
4 Crushing Hammer
4 Level Ball
3 Muscle Band
2 Ultra Ball
1 Super Rod
I played in 4 Rounds of Swiss with 30 minutes plus 3 turns.
Round 1 ??? w/ Yveltal/Vespiquen
I started off well. I managed to get most of his energy discarded and he was close to decking out. He used Baby Yveltal to get energies back but usually I would discard them. Sadly I lost because I played Team Flare Grunt and Shauna in the same turn, my hand went into the deck, and it was irreversible, even though I didn't start shuffling. WATCH YOUR PLAYS PEOPLE.
0-1-0
Round 2 ??? w/ Speed Entei
Not much to say here, the game was about 4 turns for both players and I dead drew the whole game. Fatality.
0-2-0
Round 3 ??? w/ Machamp/Ariados
I got a perfect set up the way my deck was intended to. My opponent didn't get her energies out in time. When she did get an attack out, it would be the only attack for a while. She also didn't use Ariados a lot. She used Lysandre so many times to bring up a Corphish or a Jirachi to stall it wasn't even funny. And every time she did that I got it out of the active position. Finally a win.
1-2-0
Round 4 ??? w/ Raichu/ Mega ManectricEX
I dead drew the whole game, didn't attack early enough, and didn't get his energy off in time. Wasted.
Final Record: 1-3-0
Place: 10th out of 11

Nobody stoppin' me!
Breakthrough Booster Pack PTCGO code: NQ3-Y3CD-J4Y-D8Y
I was (very) devastated with Banette/Crawdaunt not doing so well. I was searching the internet to find any good decks that I might want to try out and play. I found Ryan Sabelhaus' TyrantrumEX list online, here is the list that I played (exact list other than one card):
Pokemon-17
4 Bronzor
3 Bronzong
2 TyrantrumEX
2 GiratinaEX
2 ShayminEX
1 AegislashEX
1 Zorua
1 Zoroark
1 Smeargle
Trainers-32
4 Professor Sycamore
2 Judge
2 Lysandre
1 Giovanni's Scheme
1 AZ
1 Hex Maniac
4 VS Seeker
4 Ultra Ball
3 Battle Compressor
2 Muscle Band
2 Float Stone
1 Switch
1 Level Ball
1 Buddy-Buddy Rescue
3 Sky Field
Energy-11
6 Metal
4 Double Dragon
1 Fighting
I played 3 rounds of swiss with 30 minutes +3 turns and juniors and seniors were mixed together (I only went up against seniors!)
Round 1 Anthony Cardella w/ Vileplume/Regice
The game was a close one. We went back and forth. Then something (Sorry, I can't tell you all this part!) happened, and I won.
1-0-0
Round 2 ??? w/ SeismitoadEX/GiratinaEX
I opened with AegislashEX and drew passed (intentionally) the whole game. Up until the end where al my Sky Fields were gone and he had a Silent Lab in play while attacking with Giratina. He used Judge to keep his deck full so that was a game loss.
1-1-0
Round 3 ??? w/ Night March
This was seriously an intense game. Buddy-Buddy Rescue came in clutch for getting a Lampent back in her hand early on in the game. She won the prize trade but in the end, a Lysandre and a fully powered up TyrantrumEX attacking LugiaEX won me the game. GG.
Final Record: 2-1-0
Place: 4th out of 7th (Stupid resistance)
Thanks for reading, and until next time, test on!
