Deck Primer

Just a silly lil thing. You could also run Darkrai V + Vstar instead of the Absol ex. You could probably change some of the ratios of cards in the deck and be fine :]

How this deck works:
Arbok ex's goal is to have opponents discard from hand when it attacks. When the Spirit Mask is attached, when Arbok ex is hit, your opponent will discard another card. The goal is to use Iono, Roxanne, Sidney, or Judge, and then reduce the cards in their hand down to 0-3 using the previous factors. Cards like Path

The goal is to use Iono, Roxanne, Sidney, or Judge, and then reduce the cards in their hand down to 0-3 using the previous factors. Cards like Path to the Peak and Temple of Sinnoh are meant to reduce their play options, on top of you already limiting their hand. Having to access to abilities is hard man! And your special energy not working can limit some deck archetypes. The Bidoof + Bibarel are just in for extra card draw each turn. I don't know without playing the deck how much/little you may need, so I threw it in there.

The Absol ex can then swoop in and do lots of damage because they have limited cards in hand. If your opponent switches a card into the active spot you don't like after you use Escape Rope, you can Boss's Orders it away. But again, you could always go with Darkrai V + Darkrai VSTAR instead as an option. Just down to personal taste!

(Also, Crushing Hammer funnie. I think it's a very silly card. I always put at least 1 into my decks, just because I like it :] feel free to swap with whatever.)
