Current Discussion
Regionals are right around the corner, so gear up and get ready. Deck help? Ideas? Strategy? Come here and other Storm members will help and discuss to take your deck to the top. HS Unleashed is also coming up in May, so talk about that. Last, but not least, Lost Link. The Japanese mini-set, is it broken? Is it OK? Discuss!

Discuss!

Approved. (I also approve of this mascot. xD)

If you would like to join this group, please PM the clan leader. Don't ask to join in the thread. Thanks!

Thanks SR (and I thought you would've enjoyed the mascot XD)

I suppose I'll start the discussion. Anyone think about Blissey MT+Prime Blissey+DCE+Upper Energy being good? DCE/Upper will provide two energy (Upper, at least, in the late game) which increases the amount of damage Blissey MT does by quite a lot, and then if you need to heal Blissey MT you can use Prime Blissey. Although you would discard DCE/Upper attached to Blissey, you could still run some basics. Or, just not run Prime Blissey altogether.

So anyone approve of that? I was just lurking around a bit and though this could help Blissey come back.

i have not thought of using blissey. i have mostly thought of the bigger ones. donphan and ferealigatr. but it would probably work.

There are alot of decks that blissey can help, but afew of the cards in HS seem good as mains (feraligatr Prime, Jumpluff, Ho-oh/Lugia Legend, Ampharos, etc. ).

I don't really believe Ho-On/Lugia Legend would be on so great. The fact that they are Legend Pokemon, meaning that you have to play both the bottom and top half together, forces you to only be able to actually have two full Legend Cards in play. That makes the Legend cards unreliable.

for most collectors the legends will be amazing. otherwise they are okay. ho-oh could go in almost any deck because of his body/power(IDK what it is). however there is an easy way to get them out. Rosy. 2 basics. get both halves and then put them out youve got a legend ready. i think it could go with charizard somewhat well. I personally like the ampharos(for some reason). my friend and i have thought of a few decks here they are

Hippowdon/Donphan

Jumpluff/Landmin/Tangrowth
heal with tangy X. +40 HP with landmin and hit hard with jumpluff.

anyone else get any good ideas?

True but with double colourless, it counts as 2 fire energy on ho-oh.

But that is the problem. Looking through the Legends fact, it said that Legend Pokemon are not basic Pokemon. Roseanne's can only get out basics, but since Legends aren't basics...

Blissey won't work. It takes to many energy to hit for good damage and this format is so hard hitting that it would get 2 shot by anything if not 1 shot. It gets destroyed by donphan and many other things that it just isnt really that funny.

Oh wow... I forgot about Donphan and Gengar practically eating through Blissey. That is true then... would make a nice fun deck however.

Ehh not even that. You would never really be able to hit more than 70. and thats after setting it up on the bench.

The way I used to play Blissey was being able to do some high damage very quickly. Oh well, just throwing the Blissey suggestion out there.

uh, are you guys talking about Blissey or Blissey PRIME? Cuz hen i was posting i was talkin about prime. When you evolve it it heals all your pokemon, then you can SSU it to heal again.

Both Blissey and Prime Blissey in the same deck. Theoretically, the works by using Prime Blissey to heal and DCE/Upper to do more damage, but against certain matchups and some decks, the damage output isn't so high. The best matchup I can think of off the top of my head is Flygon and Salamence, but even they can deal with Blissey.
