Deck Primer

Can't clip these wings!

My favorite deck in any TCG I've ever played. Ditto is incredibly easy to loop back into the active spot, but you also had a lot of relevant weakness hits into the FGH standard meta. Murkrow absolutely shredded Gardevoir, Dartrix answered Terazard AND Roaring Moon, Wattrel could even score sneaky boss-knock turns on Pidgeot ex. Dumping your hand every turn was crucial to pump that attack damage as much as possible for Ditto. Thorton is also absolutely CRUCIAL to this and

Can't clip these wings!

Thorton offered you the opportunity to:

• Remove your utility 2prizers from the bench, slowing down your opponent's game (Was even more useful when Lumineon V was still legal)

• Discarding the benched Flamigo, buffing United Wings

• Placing Ditto back in play while simultaneously achieving either of the former points

• Hot-swapping in an attacker that hits for weakness on your opponent's active mon (in my experience, very often to win the game)

Thorton was absolutely goated in this list and anybody who says otherwise is cordially invited by me and every opponent I've ever beaten with a last-turn Thorton play to pee. their. pants.
