ArKeyus/Aerodactyl (the deck that beats everything)

this is a deck developed by Dominic Viola and Christian Fontenot placed 17th at Milwaukee regionals with the list.

The combo of Judge/Path, Klefki, and Aerodactyl beats pretty much any deck in format. Here is a list of what to do against every meta deck (before paldea evolved)

Lost Zone Box: Control with Klefki. Do not let them set up. If they start getting too many cards in the Lost Zone start attacking and boss up threats.

Mew/Genesect: A E R O D A C T Y L

Lugia/Archeops: This is one of your toughest

Mew/Genesect: A E R O D A C T Y L

Lugia/Archeops: This is one of your toughest matches. You are relying on getting Aerodactyl in play before they can use summoning star. If they go first there is a good chance you just have to spam Judge/Path and hoped they get a bad hand.

Gardevoir ex: This is your other tough match. Judge/Path and pray they have a bad hand

Arc/Dura/Umbreon: Aerodactyl is your best friend for this match. It shuts off their entire strategy.

Arc/Tina: Pretty 50/50 matchup. Whoever sets up faster wins

Fusion Mew: It is rough because they can donk Arceus. Aerodactyl tho is still very good against the deck.

SableZard: This deck has really nothing for klefki. You win this 95% of the time

Goodra: Same as every other LZ variant

Miraidon(Flaafy or Regieleki): while it is rough for arceus to get donked, Arceus & Aerodactyl can still beat the deck

I really think Arc/Aerodactyl is going to do really well at Fresno
