Prize Accelerator Deck

Crispin0 · June 3

I would like help in exploring a deck idea.

The aim of the game is to win 6 prizes before the opponent, without regards of how many prizes the opponents has collected at that point.

There are various cards that accelerate prize exchange such as
Lt. Surge's BargainMEG #120

or cards that award you extra prize upon conditions, be it flipping a coin or events in the next turn.

and cards line annihilape that force mutual KO to trade prize with the opponent.

The deck strategy is to accelerate the prize draw for both player forcing for a rapid turnover with a game lasting ideally only 6 rounds.

The deck doesn't need to achieve more prize cards than the opponent always, in fact not even often; a 55/45 ratio would be likely to lead to a 70% chance of winning a best of 3 battle.

By aiming for quick exchange of prize and mutual pokemon sacrifice it limits opponent development and, crucially, renders much more risky to play Ex and Mega pokemon because, if the acceleration causes 3 prize cards to be exchanged in the first 4-5 turns, then having a Mega in play exposes to potential instant loss of the game.

Slowking could multiple the number of Annihilape mutual KO attacks whilst Boss makes extremely dangerous to hold a Mega in play as it could end up being exchanged 3-1 cards.

For the strategy to work the deck should also have a good Stall pokemon that replaces annihilape and slowking when KO and be capable to resist to a standard attack considering that, if KO by a mega or EX the loss of the prize card is acceptable and indeed desirable as in the next turn with a new pokemon KO exchange the KO of this Ex will give 2 prizes balancing the extra prize lost to the opponent.

I do not know enough supporters, trainer and stadium to support this strategy.

Has anyone considered such a deck?

any advice?
