Thought I would spark some discussion on this challenge.
It's very notable to me that this Ghost challenge will be very difficult, especially with the recent aegislash ban. We had this planned weeks in advanced, and we didn't know that the ban would even take place.
With that said, how is it adapting w/o using Aegislash? Has Doublade been able to provide anything as an "Aegislash replacement?" How has your teambuilding been affected with out Awgislash's presence?

One thing: Doublade is in NO way Aegislash.
Aegislash, along with being able to hold an item that isn't Eviolite to survive, was able to setup safely within its King Shield mindgames and sweep provided the necessary conditions, could switch out and do its role again if needed, and was a mixed attacker to break those really physical walls. Doublade, if using it offensively like most, doesn't have the coveted Shield, physically walled easily, and will probably only have
one chance to setup. RestTalk Doublade provided more safety, with a monstrous Def, spreading Toxics whereever while taking defensive hits, and complemented Trev well. In other words, there was no room for an Aegi-like Doublade.
