Deck Primer

Dark Deluge?! In GLC?!

This deck aims to abuse Hydreigon's Dark Squall ability to load up various attackers that get stronger and stronger as their energy increases. We lack the consistency seen in the Water Deluge deck, so we make up for it with numerous options to get energy/mons* back from the discard. This allows us to be more aggressive with Liepard's trade to find our engine quickly. We use Galarian Weezing early to slow down our opponent and give ourselves some time to set up.

Dark Deluge?! In GLC?!

This deck aims to abuse Hydreigon's Dark Squall ability to load up various attackers that get stronger and stronger as their energy increases. We lack the consistency seen in the Water Deluge deck, so we make up for it with numerous options to get energy/mons* back from the discard. This allows us to be more aggressive with Liepard's trade to find our engine quickly. We use Galarian Weezing early to slow down our opponent and give ourselves some time to set up. 

Main attackers include Grimmsnarl (snipes), Darkrai, Guzzlord, Moltres, and even Absol with an auto knockout (no downside of returning energy with Hydreigon and playing again next turn). 

*Nanu is something cheeky I am trying, I am not committed just yet. With several solid basic attackers, could be a solid surprise hit.
