Ghet on with the new format already!
Not What Youd Expect

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 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 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.

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.

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.

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

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
