Not What Youd Expect

By Jay Hornung | April 16, 2013 | Word s: 6,661 | Views: 2,910 | Rating: +39 | UNDERGROUND

Its already the middle of April and States and Regionalsare in the past. Many of us (myself included) are ready to

put this format in the rearview mirror and start looking

forward to the format for Nationals and Worlds (which I

hope to be a much more skill based format).

A large portion of this article is going to focus on the new

set and the new meta. I hate set reviews so instead Im only

going to discuss a few key cards and how I feel they impact

our meta. Im also going to discuss some older cards that I

feel get considerably better with new set, so it would

probably be a good idea to make sure to have a playset of

them.

Lastly, Im going to discuss what I feel is going to be major

decks in the new format along with my own list for each of them. I feel many of my lists are still

rough, but Im happy with the direction theyre heading.

Despite wanting to keep this article mainly focused on the new set and new meta, I do want to

briefly recap my experiences at both Iowa States and Wisconsin Regionals. I played what I felt

was a very unique Darkrai list for the 3rd week of States, and the list went against a lot of things I

was used to with deck building. It got me thinking outside the box a bit more and hopefully got

For Regionals I played a deck I never thought I would ever consider playing and walked away

Hello from Iowa.

Iowa States

I played Big Basics the first few weeks of States, but wanted

to switch things up heading into Iowa. Usually Iowa is

where we see players heavily try to metagame against one

another. Many of the better Iowa players knew a majorityof the cards in my Big Basics deck, which meant they also

knew I had a near auto-loss to Klinklang.

In my mind this made playing Big Basics again far too risky

without heavily teching for Klinklang, which I felt would then kill my consistency in other

matchups.

Its no surprise that Ive always liked Darkrai, but I couldnt find a list that clicked with me in this

current format. Mainly on a whim I built this its only a few cards off from a list that was posted

in a public 6P article a few weeks ago. You can check out the original here.

I like to ride my bicycle

1 Computer Search

2 Virbank City Gym

I changed a few cards around from the original idea before I even played a game. On paper this

honestly looks to be one of the worst Darkrai lists Ive ever seen. Originally I built the deck

wanting to use it as a starting point with the plans to make major changes to the list. However,

after a few games I realized the list was pretty close to what I wanted and I only made minor

adjustments from the original.

I dont really want to take the time to break down the whole deck because I feel Jerome did an

amazing job of doing this on his own (so check out his article). However, I do want to take a

moment to discuss Bicycle.

Bicycle

Until I actually played this deck I never quite realized just

how strong Bicycle was. In most games with Bicycle I was

burning through a majority of my deck by T3/T4. I felt like I

was playing Speed Kingdra from the 09 season. While I

loved Bicycle in this variation of Darkrai, I wouldnt play it

in any other deck and even after my win Im not 100% sure I

love a full 4 copies in Darkrai.

When playing such a high count of the card you really have

to build the entire deck around Bicycle. This forced me to

play fewer copies of other key cards like Energy Switch.

While I dont feel like this ever caused me to lose a game,

there were plenty games where I did miss having extra

copies of Energy Switch, Max Potion, Catcher, etc.

Looking back I think Pooka might have had the right idea of only playing a single tech copy of

Bicycle in his Darkrai build.

Here are some of my observations of the list after the tournament.

The Good

Burns through deck quickly (higher chance at T2 Darkrai, lower chance of bad Ns late

game).

Stronger early game Junk Hunts.

Flows more smoothly.

The Bad

Decking out became an issue in several games.

Energy count was too low (I would not play less than 10 in the future).

3 N was not enough (I would play 4 in the future).

I ran out of Supporters a few times.

A lot of coin flips.

No real tricks/attack options outside of Night Spear and Laser.

Match Summary

Round 1 Landorus EX/Mewtwo EX/Garbodor L

Round 2 Darkrai EX W

Round 3 Landorus EX W

Round 4 Blastoise WRound 5 Darkrai/Mewtwo W

Round 6 Darkrai EX L

I finish Swiss at 4-2 and barely made top cut at 8th seed. My little brother narrowly missed cut at

9th seed, which was too bad since if our resistances were a little better we might have been

going in at 7th and 8th seed which could have set up a really nice finals for us.

Top 4 Klinklang WLW

I got insanely lucky in Top 2 and won a match that should have been much harder for me than

what it ended up being. I hit just about every coin flip I could with Lasers and Hammers and my

opponent missed quite a few sleep flips.

Wisconsin Regionals

Thursday afternoon Sam Chen throws the idea of

Klinklang at me. It was something I was tossing around, but

couldnt really settle on a list I felt good about. Below is the

list I ended up running which differed from Sams a bit.

The two biggest things I stole from him were 2 Pokmon

Catcher and the 3 Tropical Beach. I had 3 Beach originally,

then dropped it down to 2 and then Sam convinced me

back up to 3 was the right call.

2 Pokmon Catcher

2 Max Potion

1 Escape Rope

1 Super Rod

1 Dowsing Machine

3 Tropical Beach

Most of this list was theorized on the drive up to Regionals and I think I played 2 games total

with it beforehand. However, I feel like after playing this deck at Regionals I could write a good

portion of an article alone on building and playing Klinklang. The deck is far more complex than

it looks on paper.

However, to keep this article more focused on upcoming sets Ill give more a condensed deck

explanation. Id be more than happy to go into more detail on the forums or perhaps in a future

article if the interest exists.

Why I Played Klinklang

All throughout States I hated the deck since I felt there wasno skill to it (I was partially wrong on this) and it had too

many auto-losses in the field. However, as we started to get

closer to Regionals I expected a meta far more focused on

Big Basics and Darkrai.

I hoped both of these decks would decrease the amount of

Garbodor (because of its horrid Bad Basics matchup) and

RayEels (for fear of getting donked/having a hard Darkrai

matchup). At the very least I figured the larger amounts of

Big Basics and Darkrai decks would increase my odds of

not seeing RayEels or Garbodor in the later rounds of the

tournament.

My other option was Darkrai which I felt had slightly

8/15



favorable mirror, RayEels, and Garbodor matchups, slightly unfavorable Big Basics and

Blastoise matchups, and a near auto-loss to Klinklang. I figured playing Darkrai Id probably

take 1 or 2 losses to Klinklang in Swiss and didnt want the pressure of having to win all my

50/50 matchups the rest of the way.

Klinklang on the other hand had a near auto-win against Darkrai and Big Basics, even mirror

and Blastoise matchups, and auto-losses to Garbodor and RayEels. I decided it would be better

for me to have auto-wins against the biggest 2 decks in the format and even matchups with the

next 2. This left my 2 auto-losses to be what I felt would be the least played tier 1 decks at

Regionals.

I decided I would rather have auto-wins all day and just hope to not play against more

than 2 of my auto-losses. In my head the probabilities worked out better.

Of course with my mind shifting to Klinklang I had to read Marks latest UG article to see if I

thought it would have any last minute shifts on the metagame.

After reading the article, Marks thoughts were very similar to mine at States and he discussed

many of the same counters I was using and to be honest he was using better and hardercounters than I was to beat Klinklang. This reassured me that I was on the right path as far as

what I should watch out for when playing against these matchups.

The problem with the counters is they are fine if youre playing against average players or

PokMoms and Dads with Klinklang. The problem is they just dont work against people that

know what they are doing. If youre playing against a good Klinklang player youre never going

to lock a Virbank in. Its near impossible to Hammer Lock them with Darkrai.

In Big Basics, Tornadus EPO and Bouffalant DRX are weaker attackers than Cobalion NVI and

Cobalion EX. Even if you play V-create Victini in Darkrai or Big Basics its too hard to set up early

and they can easily deal with 1 random Victini by the time you get it out.

After playing the deck this weekend I can say without a doubt in my mind these soft counters

to Klinklang dont work. You either tech hard for Klinklang and hurt your consistency in other
