Deck Primer

Basically a Hand Control Deck that makes your Oppoment suffer.

Strategy: Start off by setting up your Budew, Munkidori's, Snorunt's, and Ekans's. Xerosic's Machinations helps force your Opponent to go down to 3 Cards and then to 1 after Arbok attacks with Menacing Fangs. It could also potentially trap your Opponent in the Active Spot to force them to stay (unless they have a Switch Card). The ACE SPEC of choice, Unfair Stamp, gives you 5 Cards and brings your Opponent down to 2 Cards which

Basically a Hand Control Deck that makes your Oppoment suffer.

Strategy: Start off by setting up your Budew, Munkidori's, Snorunt's, and Ekans's. Xerosic's Machinations helps force your Opponent to go down to 3 Cards and then to 1 after Arbok attacks with Menacing Fangs. It could also potentially trap your Opponent in the Active Spot to force them to stay (unless they have a Switch Card). The ACE SPEC of choice, Unfair Stamp, gives you 5 Cards and brings your Opponent down to 2 Cards which can make your Opponent go down to 0 with Menacing Fangs. Jamming Tower helps shut down all Tool Cards for your Opponent which slows them down much more. Since Froslass damages Munkidori you can force more damage onto your Opponent to slowly KO them. If you don't like Jamming Tower you can use 2 Artazon's instead and add in a TM: Evo. Additionally, Iono makes this deck much more annoying due to the constant Hand Disruption. Anyways, feel free to make any changes or leave any suggestions!

Interesting Concept, I like the addition of the Froslass Line and Munkidori to force damage onto them and the constant Hand Disruption can really cripple your opponent which may make them concede.

Waffle Enthusiast Thank you for your feedback! Also, yeah the constant Hand Disruption has caused many of my Opponent's to Concede in testing as they were slowed down quite a bit though it does still have some flaws.

I tried the same with Scovillain ex (Temporal Forces) but couldn't get it right. This looks so much better. I really like to attack the deck and hand from the opponent. That's why I play with wugtrio and I did it with great tusk. You make great decks, keep it up 👍🏻

Mando10 Thank you for your feedback I appreciate it! Also, Scovillain ex (Temporal Forces) could probably work as well but would need a bit more setup.
