Deck Primer

A glass-cannon-y version of a Giratina deck. Same LostBox idea as far as early game- try to comfey as much as you can turn 1 and 2 while setting up a Giratina and a pineco on the bench.

Ideally turn 2 into Forretress to speed power up energies on the board for using Gira VSTARs attack later. Having Lost City in play causes your Forretress and Pineco beneath it to go to the lost zone for a free +2 lost count on top of the energy accel. Between this, Comfeys, and a Colress, you can have mirage gate

Having Lost City in play causes your Forretress and Pineco beneath it to go to the lost zone for a free +2 lost count on top of the energy accel. Between this, Comfeys, and a Colress, you can have mirage gate online by turn 2, and if you're really lucky, Gira VSTAR's Star Requiem live by turn 2-3.

Using Gira VSTAR's first attack, you can burn through the energies to help fuel up a Star Requiem for a game finisher as early as turn 4 in some cases.

Could definitely stand to be a little more consistent, and I'm not familiar with playing the LostBox achetype so please feel free to suggest things that might make it more consistent.

Looks great! ( just a fyi but "things" in the last sentence of your descripion is mispelt.)

Thanks, and fix'd! 2AM deck building has its downsides lol

Cool take on lostbox. Maybe include a manaphy to prevent the comfey on the bench from being sniped. Especially with the Forretress giving 2 prize cards.

If you can fit is in, I would recomend puting a switch cart or two in.

Why energy recycler if no kyogre?

Iplaylostbox haven't touched this list in awhile, but if I remember correctly, it was just in there as a secondary recursion for late game, especially after multiple turns of using Greninja's concealed cards. I originally tried a second super rod, and then an energy retrieval, and found that recycler just felt better, especially for guaranteeing there were enough grass energies for Forretress to get if you get set up late.

I feel like you should remove the extra Giratina V for Cramorant or Sableye to have a backup attacker because you probably aren't going to use the extra V

Starmie23 I was originally playing around with the other lost box attackers, but opted against them because they were clogging the deck up a bit. The extra V doubles as a consistency booster as well as it's own built in back-up attacker- I was running into a ton of Mimikyu at the time and Shred was the easiest answer!

That makes sense but what about the extra pineco

CobaltX6 avatar

Starmie23 I don't remember why I opted for a 3rd pineco tbh. Could be swapped for something else at this point I'm pretty sure.
