Daniel Altavilla (who remains one of the best players in the game to this day), took the decklist to a 9th place finish at the World Championships. Due to how rare and expensive Tropical Beach was (the only way to acquire this unique card was as a promo for attending the World Championships), this deck (as well as others, like Empoleon) were strong, but slightly underplayed. Many stage 2 lists needed multiple copies to survive the early turns of the game against the faster, more aggressive, EX-heavy decks, but Tropical Beaches costed hundreds of dollars at the time.

The strategy here is like a simplified version of the 2006 LBS deck – your Black Kyurem does 200 damage, but discards 3 energy attached to it when you do so. Blastoise’s Deluge ability lets you attach as many water energy as you like, so you load up the Black Kyurem and attack repeatedly. Keldeo can also be used in the same way (it does 50 + 20 for each water energy attached) but would often eat a huge Evil Ball or X-Ball from Yveltal EX or Mewtwo EX for doing so. Instead, it mostly functions as a way to get around status conditions (which run rampant thanks to Hypnotoxic Laser). You attach a float stone to it, and can always “Rush In” and retreat in order to heal yourself of Sleep or Poison.
