Deck Primer

Released Future Box earlier today so why not release an Ancient Box deck today as well.

Strategy: Roaring Moon is your main attacker so try and get many Ancient Cards into your Discard Pile, Great Tusk helps mill your Opponent a bit and can help you win by decking your Opponent out. Flutter Mane shuts off every other Ability besides Midnight Fluttering and the attack Hex Hurl is quite useful at getting Damage spread onto your Opponent's Pokémon. Koraidon helps deal 180 Damage after you attack

Released Future Box earlier today so why not release an Ancient Box deck today as well.

Strategy: Roaring Moon is your main attacker so try and get many Ancient Cards into your Discard Pile, Great Tusk helps mill your Opponent a bit and can help you win by decking your Opponent out. Flutter Mane shuts off every other Ability besides Midnight Fluttering and the attack Hex Hurl is quite useful at getting Damage spread onto your Opponent's Pokémon. Koraidon helps deal 180 Damage after you attack with 1 of your other  Ancient Pokémon being able to finishing them off if you whiff a KO. Pecharunt ex helps as an Uber Driver for Roaring Moon, Iron Bundle helps force up a Pokémon that your Opponent doesn't want to, Town Store helps find your ABEC's much faster. The ACE SPEC of choice, Secret Box is very useful in this deck as it can get you an Item, a Supporter, a Tool, and a Stadium. Sada's Vitality is probably the main Draw Support as it also allows you to accelerate Energy onto 2 of your Ancient Pokémon. Explorer's Guidance also helps you discard 4 Cards while you get 2. Anyways, feel free to make any changes or leave any suggestions!

Edits:

Edit #1: Removed 2 Flutter Mane's and added in 2 Darkness Energies. This change was suggested by @SaltyW.

Edit #2: Horrible mistake of making it down to 2 Flutter Mane's so it's now back to 4 but at the cost of losing 1 Counter Catcher and Town Store.

Interesting list, seems pretty fun to mull your opponent with Great Tusk as well.

Waffle Enthusiast Thank you for your feedback! Also, yeah in testing Great Tusk was pretty fun to use as it mills your Opponent.

Very good but I think you don't need 4 flutter manes and you need some more energy imo

SaltyW Thank you for your feedback! Also, I will cut down the copies of Flutter Mane a bit to add in a few more Energies.

Sammadness Thank you for your feedback, however, adding in 4 Carmine's might be kind of hard to add into this list and there's not many cards that can be cut to make it 4.
