Deck Primer

General Description: This is meant to be a version of Kyurem VMax that has multiple outs in the event of bricking or a suboptimal match-up. Your goal for 90% of matches is to ramp up as quickly as possible and try to swing for a major knock-out within the first 2 turns. There are situations where the prize map is not in your favor and you need to be conscious of this in deciding what to remove from your opponent's field first. Timing Palkia's VStar power often will make or break your performance

Opening Suggestions: The general thought process is the same as with other designs of this deck- you want to get 2 Kyurems set up alongside a Palkia as early as possible. Adjust as needed to either play an Oranguru and Radiant Greninja or Oranguru and one of the tech cards [Crobat V/Lumineon V]. If going second, I would recommend the latter and getting an Irida into play as to accelerate even more water energy early on in the match. 

Strategy: Kyurem is going to be your focus unless hell literally freezes over while you're playing. You should prioritize setting up as much water energy onto both Kyurems as quickly as you can so that in the event one goes down, you have the ability to pivot without much distress. In most instances, your bench will be full so in a worst-case scenario where multiple hitters are prized, you have Palkia VStar as a back-up. I would recommend keeping some energy on Palkia in the event this exact situation occurs.
