Deck Primer

One of my best creations; I won a tournament with this deck!

Go second and try to get a turn one Astral Misfortune while using Will and Victini, which makes it 75% to hit 2 heads, to get 2 or 3 prizes while the opponent can only take 1 or even none! Radiant Jirachi's ability can guarantee the pieces to use it again in the following turn. Repeat.

If you're wondering, yes this deck is a meme but every single card contributes in making the deck viable, and funnily enough every single Jirachi mattered

Scoop up net ban made this deck slightly worse, making for awkward benches, sometimes letting the opponent KO Jirachi-EX for 2 prizes and if you start Jirachi Prism you can't use it at all.

I don't quite get the gameplan for this deck...

 

Anyways, wouldn't this want to use Level Ball, since literally every single Pokemon in this deck has 90 HP or less? Even then, Buddy-Buddy Poffin might prove to be useful! Also, congrats on your win with this deck!

Hey, @CountyGibbon798 Thanks!

This deck's gameplan is to try to guarantee astral misfortune kos on 2 or 3 prizers while not giving up a prize.

also i thought it was funny to have so many jirachis lol

I initially had level balls in but decided to add quick balls to discard useless cards, like vip. I didn't want to include poffin because it can't search for radiant jirachi

I really like this deck. But im unsure about what the decks strat is?

TrainerLou avatar

Poltergeist I've updated the deck description to give a little more in-depth guide.
Fluffy Dragon unfortunately there's a hidden rule that prevents Glimwood and Victini to work at the same time

TrainerLou avatar

CountyGibbon798 i'm mentioning you just in case, since I forgot to do it in my comment earlier lol

ngl this is actually a very well crafted decklist ❤️, as CountyGibbon798 said, the game plan of this deck isn't definitive, you could very well make this an actual non-meme deck by scrapping most of the replaceable Jirachis like team up, vivid voltage, and EX, since your main strategy is abusing the only 1 radiant pokemon requirement and cycling through lots of Radiant Jirachi along with Life Dew to make the least appealing thing to knock out.

 

No wonder that you were able to win a tournament. The deck is a joke but kinda not. 

TrainerLou avatar

this is actually not that meme and the only meme jirachi is actually the vivid voltage one and the gameplan may seem unclear but it is actually very clear especially for me that built the list.

Seems like a rather complex deck but Lunatone and Solrock; Their effects together is rather weak late into the game. For more power for the deck, Bloodmoon Ursaluna EX is a versatile colorless attacker. It can make it's attack cost less after you lose pokemon into the discard pile. With up to 3 in the grave Ursaluna can make the 5 energy attack cost into something as low as a single double energy.

Nocruor0 Lunatone is here to block Path to the Peak and Silent Lab, but you can swap it for 2 chaotic swells if you want. I honestly don't think you'd need ursaluna, though it could be good to guarantee a knock out.

I have a interesting idea, did you consider adding a Lost Vacuum or Faba ?
Both have different versions of send enemy stadiums and tools and special energgy (faba only) into the Lost Zone denying them from getting them back ?
I suggest looking them up.

TrainerLou avatar

I think field blower is enough, but I originally had faba in the list to get rid of special energy, but we just can't afford to not play will whenever we can.

True Will is essential. Big shame no other coin re-rolls are in standard now.
