Durant ex Control (BB & WF)

Thank you to @Pe7son for suggesting me to create this deck! Also, it's supposed to be a mill deck but the more I built it, the more it became more of a Wall/Control deck.

Strategy: I strongly suggest going second with this deck. Anyways, during your First Turn, I'd suggest to get the following Pokémon out:

- 2 Dwebble

- 1 Munkidori

- 1 Budew or 1 Cleffa.

- Only bench Durant ex when it's in your hand to mill the top card of their Deck.

- Any other Pokémon that you wish to get out.

Thank you to @Pe7son for suggesting me to create this deck! Also, it's supposed to be a mill deck but the more I built it, the more it became more of a Wall/Control deck.

Strategy: I strongly suggest going second with this deck. Anyways, during your First Turn, I'd suggest to get the following Pokémon out:

- 2 Dwebble

- 1 Munkidori

- 1 Budew or 1 Cleffa.

- Only bench Durant ex when it's in your hand to mill the top card of their Deck.

- Any other Pokémon that you wish to get out.

Getting out these Pokémon should be decently easy as you have Ultra Ball, Nest Ball, and Buddy-Buddy Poffin to find them. You can try and use Budew's Itchy Pollen, Cleffa's Grasping Draw, or Dwebble's Ascension during your First Turn. I will now move onto Pokémon Explanations.

Pokémon Explanations:

Durant ex is here to mill your Opponent, and can be a decent Endgame Attacker when your Opponent has taken most of their Prize Cards.

Crustle walls Pokémon ex and is your Primary Attacker. Cornerstone Mask (CM) Ogerpon ex walls Pokémon with Abilities.

Munkidori moves damage from your Pokémon and moves it onto your Opponent's Pokémon.

Budew item-locks your Opponent in the Early Game and Cleffa provides Draw Support with Grasping Draw.

Iron Thorns ex shuts off all Rulebox Pokémon's Abilities (excluding Future Pokémon), which helps with your matchup against Gardevoir ex.

I will now move onto the Trainer Card explanations.

Trainer Card Explanations:

Iono provides disruption, Xerosic's Machinations brings your Opponent's hand size down to 3 Cards, and Eri can discard up to 2 Item Cards from your Opponent's Hand. Turo's Scenario can reset your Durant ex so you can use Sudden Shearing again or any other Pokémon. Unfair Stamp, the ACE SPEC of choice, provides further Disruption when your Pokémon was KO'd during your Opponent's Last Turn. Luxurious Cape makes your Crustle a lot Tankier to go up to 250 HP total, with the drawback of giving up a 2nd Prize Card upon being KO'd by damage. FBEC gives Thorn free retreat so it doesn't get trapped in the Active Spot. TR's Watchtower shuts off all Colorless Pokémon's Abilities which helps against decks that run Fan Rotom, Noctowl, or Squawkabilly ex. This card also helps against Eevee Box. Town Store helps you search your deck for Tool Cards.

This concludes the Trainer Card Explanations, so I will move onto basic combos you can perform.

Combos:

Counter Catcher to gust up a Pokémon (when behind on prizes) + Iono or Unfair Stamp.

Boss's Orders to gust up a High Retreat Cost Pokémon, then use Unfair Stamp to lower their hand size down to 2.

Turo's Scenario to remove Durant ex to put it back into your hand, to then bench Durant ex again.

Night Stretcher to recover a Durant ex from the Discard Pile to then Bench Durant ex.

This concludes the strategy section, so feel free to make any changes, ask almost any question, or to leave any suggestions!

CTC: The cards that I'd recommend to add into this deck as an alternative for you to try out or try to fit your preferences will be sorted into a list with a brief description for every card. If there any cards here or from your own thoughts/ideas that you'd wish to add into this deck, cut out any cards that you don't find too useful. With this being stated, here is the list:

Pokémon:

- 3rd Durant ex - Provides better consistency.

- 3 TM Ogerpon ex's - Provides Draw Support, you'd probably have to make major adjustments to this deck by making the Control parts of this deck gone.

- 2-1-2 Pidgeot ex Line - Searches your deck for any card, for you to then add it into your hand.

- 1 Bloodmoon Ursaluna ex - Helps as an Endgame Attacker.

- 2nd Budew - Alternative to Cleffa.

Trainer Cards:

- 1-2 more Arvens - Self-explanatory.

- 4th Iono - Self-explanatory.

- 1-2 Pennies - Alternative to Turo's Scenario or to have more ways to mill with Durant ex.

- 1 more Turo's Scenario - Lets you reset Durant ex even further to mill further.

- 1 Earthen Vessel - Searches for Energy Cards.

- 1 more Pokégear - Makes finding Supporter Cards even easier.

- Secret Box - Alternative ACE SPEC of choice.

Energies:

- 6 total Grass Energies - Useful for a more focused build with TM Ogerpon ex.

- 1 Jet Energy - Brings the Pokémon you attached it to into the Active Spot.

- 1-2 Luminous Energies - Since a weird amount of Energy is ran in this deck, Luminous Energy can help cover that.

This concludes the CTC (Cards to Consider) section, I hope you can find this description helpful. Anyways, do whatever you want with this deck and have a good day!
