For this tournament specifically, modifying the provided lists is prohibited. With that said, the Centiskorch is now gone. I thought it might be a fine one-card inclusion since the deck is on Legacy Energy, but in testing, it genuinely never came up, and has been replaced by a second copy of...

I'm honestly not that convinced on Mega Rayquaza. It was hailed early in Japan's release as a Dragapult killer, and it... isn't that. It's actually a pretty simple matchup for Pult; Risky Ruins sets up Phantom Dive math perfectly on Rayquaza, it works on Talon too with Munkidori, and any Hammer...

did you make this thread just to post that image?

we are going to update these Pretty Soon (tm) with the feedback we've received so far, along with some tentative DLR decks. the initial rankings were in no small part "let's just try to have it complete" and it's pretty clear we made a few errors (particularly me just shoving PultNoir in S after...

While it’s not important for Festival Lead, there is a Pawmot in our February set that could theoretically switch attacks (shenanigans like Relicanth are required), and allowing for two different attacks is good for backwards compatibility with Ancient Trait Barrage Pokemon and Rapid Strike...

Alternate Ways to Play (coming less soon, and only if I don't think of something else that should be here instead!)

we forgor Speaking of which though, Pult is the only deck we split up for the initial list here, and that's mostly because a) it's Dragapult, and knowing which variant you're talking about makes a difference, and b) Chicken Pult is a notably different caliber of deck compared to "regular" and...
