@timdanklin played this 60 this weekend, four matches, four wins. Eats Stage 2 decks that aren't able to respond KOs quickly. Most difficult match ups are Miraidon and Regidrago. With a deck thats all gas, you have to be careful when you pop Noirs so to not burn though stretchers and patches and relying on Vstar to bail you out. All around, an amazing deck, thanks for sharing and the great content!
This is the kinda stuff I love to hear!!!! Great stuff mate and congrats on the Ws hopefully you can run it back and win a few more 👀
I feel like I like the tcg live quick gameplay just to see how the deck works in a real game and not theoretical
Thanks for the feedback! I'll definitely try throwing in at least a few clips or something
@timdanklin keep up the great content. I never cook up these crazy list and just bring generic decks to events
Saw this decklist last night, instantly built it on live and started testing. It's super fun! So far I've further cut a trek for a boss's orders just to grab it off lumineon. I also like the name Darkrai Box tbh because that's what it really feels like we're doing. Finally getting comfy with it and I'm excited to test it at locals and league events
That's great to hear! Best of luck at the league events 🫡 if you've got the 1 of boss and Roxanne I'd recommend trying to find the space for a palpad too
This is a great video and something in the style I have been looking for in Pokemon TCG space for a while. Deck breakdown, why counts are what they are, other options, and matchups. While some Live clips might be cool to see the interactions for those who haven’t been in the game for as long as I have, I don’t think they’re necessary. Looking forward to another deck breakdown in the future!
I don't need full games, but having a TCGL clip of a specific interaction while you're talking about it would be a good addition
Long time Magic player here who started pokemone recently. This deck is great and just my style. Love these kind of breakdown videos. Some game play would be nice as well but maybe separately.
I only play pokemon a couple times a year and I'm going to Baltimore regionals with your deck. Happened to see your twitter decklist and been playing it online since and its super fun. Thank you for the deck breakdown, it helped re-contextualize a lot of the card choices and when I should be going first or second. If a yugioh player randomly does well in Blatimore, it will be because of this video.
This is so great to hear!!! I genuinely do love hearing that people are considering playing the deck, best of luck - I'll be rooting for you!
Having some gameplay via TCG Live is very helpful imo so you can see the deck in action and potentially see how to play out of less than ideal hands/situations. I might try this deck out at some point since before I took my most recent hiatus from the game(about 5 years or so back when Pikarom was a deck). I did really enjoy playing Darkrai Ex back in B/W format with Dark Patch and the other dark support at the time.
I'll keep that in mind! Great that you're getting back into the game and good luck if you do try the deck out 🫡
I love the live gameplay. I learn by watching so seeing the deck play after hearing the info helps so much
Amazing video, super informative, Would love to see similar content as you continue to cook into the future!
I just came across this video when making a dark type deck (I'm new to pokemon, so I'm trying to stay with one type). You gave me so much helpful information and maybe buying a few cards for my deck I'm building. Thank you so much, and it was really informative and interesting to hear your strategies. instant sub
This is great to hear, so glad that I can help someone who's just getting into the game!!!
Doing gods work my friend, been loving your videos!
Thanks for the decklist! I've been looking for a darkrai V deck since Shrouded Fable released and I think I found it!
Awesome vid! I feel like i haven't seen many do a deep dive into a deck quite like you have, cant wait to see whats next!
Appreciate it!! I'd definitely love to do more deep dives like this for other interesting decks in the future
Went 3/0/1 this week at my locals to get 2nd (1st was my round 4 opponent, and we intentionally drew because our store has a bounty system where players whop go undefeated get their names on the board as a bounty, where the next week, each opponent who manages to beat them get a free pack, so we wanted there to be more people on the bounty board)
That's so nice to hear!! Good luck if you play it at any more events 😎
Absolutely love the thumbnail holmes
I've been a big fan of darkrai back scarlet and violet released so I will definitely give the deck a try, it looks so fun to play
Darkrai always felt like it was so close to being good and now it really is, good luck with the deck!
Super helpful video, looks like fun to play!
Very cool list, I love me some Dark Patch play. I would say TCG play is more helpful for this type of deck than most so that we can see the sequencing in action.
Unreal editing broski! Gonna be trying this deck at locals ASAP
Really appreciate it!!! I'd love to hear how you go with the decks 👀
Such a sick deck, would love to see some gameplay footage to show how the sequencing actually plays out. Awesome deck though, im excited to give it a try!
Thanks for the feedback and good luck with the games! I might try showing board states or clips to demonstrate how the sequencing works
Went 1-2 at a challenge with this! I started to get a good feel for it by the last round, excited to run it at the weekly league tonight!
L- Raging bolt ( got donked)
L- Regidrago (good start, lost steam)
W- ancient box(the 3rd eye was opened)
Good luck tonight!! 🫡
played this to locals last night! Went 2-0
WW - United Wings
WW - Snorlax
LL - Espathra ex
Deck feels great, espathra was just an awful match. locals was crazy ln lol. BUT i do think this deck could very much benefit from a way to put some cards from ur discard back into your deck. idk which card would be best tho. love the deck ty for sharing!
did also play a zard and raging bolt for fun outside of the tournament and the deck swept them!
That's so sick to hear, good stuff!! If you want some way to add cards back into the deck I'd recommend palpad
First time seeing you but loved the video. Gonna build this. Subbed!
I have tested this list and I want to build it irl to play at local cups out of all the decks I've played this format this has been the funniest deck to play
Would love it if you bought this to some cups - Good luck and please let me know how you end up going!!!!
@@timdanklinis there a way to add another way to recover more than 1 energy like a super rod or superior energy retrieval?
I think tcg live can be used as background or when explaining a combo but is not needed for full games IMO
Great video made me want to try this deck both online and in locals!
Good luck 😎 would love to hear how you go with it!
Yo, I've been playing with this concept for a few weeks now. You've gotten a lot further than I have. I'm going to start testing this for Baltimore.
That's so sick! If you end up playing this to Baltimore please let me know!! ☺️
@@timdanklin this is a tight list did you test a 2-2 of research and sada?
That thumbnail is peak!!!
To answer the tcglive gameplay question - I also find it boring. I think having clips of key plays or moments could be good to show while you discuss the deck, though.
Glad I'm not the only one, that seems like a good middle ground! I'll definitely try out including some screenshots of board states or quick clips in the future
@@timdanklin even a super speed x3 video of a match that is explarly of what you’re saying it’s important in the matchup might be good
This deck is crazy I played it on the ranked ladder on live and I won 14 straight. Also wondering if there's any changes that need to happen because of stellar crown and how well this deck is against terapagos
14 in a row is crazy!!! I haven't thought about it too much yet - I'd like to see how the meta shakes out, but I think it's still relatively well positioned going forward ☺️
Gameplay would be incredibly useful. I've tried playing a ton of matches yesterday and today and feels like a complete brick. Either im not benching the right stuff for the situation or my sequencing is off. Love the idea and its great when it works but double dusknoir turn 2 feels impossible. Im almost always starting with 2 research or a Roxanne in hand with no nest balls or ultra balls or concealing in to even more energy! Im used to playing these types of control decks Banette/Gard (which i've won challenges with) and Banette/Noir which I can say is almost always guaranteed to get double dusknoir all the time. So list feels a little unfocused or I just can't switch the game plan on the fly. Either way would love to see some gameplay with reasoning for decisions in the moment and props to playing this at worlds!
Deck looks like it COOKS. What do you think about manaphy so your bench doesnt get shredded by kyurem in the drago matchup?
I thought about it! But switch cart is usually just enough to fix the maths there
Been testing this deck for the past few days and have absolutely been loving it, but how do you see it converting into the Stellar Crown format? I’m not going to Baltimore so I’m looking to test for events past that and would love to hear your thoughts!
I haven't thought about it TOO much yet - but I think it'll definitely stay relevant! You can shut down noctowls before they evolve and have good prize control to get around Briar!
do you think a 2nd Sada could be worth finding space for in the list? it would make going 2nd gameplan a bit more consistent and give the deck a bit extra gas in the late game to close out games, but the space does look VERY tight
It's 100% worth considering! I tried heavier counts of Sada for a while, but came to the conclusion that research is just stronger - 1 is usually enough for the turn 1 attack since it's searchable, and in the late game you'd usually rather attack with pecharunt anyway
@@timdanklin that's pretty fair, prizing the 1-of is concerning and having the extra out to not be as obligated to Lumineon for it could be worth it, but yeah 1-of should be fine
been enjoying using the deck on Live, but my luck has been a little rough, too many fish starts haha, but the deck is straight gas when it sets up properly, I love the creativity!
No Peliper? I feel like I've been lied to.
I tested the deck and I can confirm the deck is broken
I dont think you need to put a whole game, but some ganeplay footage while you talk would be nice
nicely edited video.
I've been playing this deck online and it has been fun. i know you mentioned a few cards you considered, but after taking it to worlds, would you make any changes to it?
Glad you're enjoying the deck! So far every card has felt great and I'm not changing anything for my own locals just yet, but if I were to, I think my first change would be finding space for a 1 prize attacker
@@timdanklin thanks Tim
For the gameplay question, I would much prefer scrims with friends that are really good players. The rework to the live ladder means you have a lot of bad players in arceus league, seeing as you only need about a 40% win rate to reach it. Also I think this deck will definitely get a lot more fun with counter gain!
I hadn't thought of doing a scrim instead of ladder games - that's a really good idea I'll have to consider! Counter gain could be really strong, but tools can be a bit hard to use when you spin pokestop so much
Great vid Tim! Gotta ask how you do the rotating card animation? Is it just a rotating plane in after effects or something? Bless!
Thanks mate, appreciate it!!! I'll chuck you a message about it 👀
@timdanklin Much appreciated haha! Just accepted 🫣
SHOES
how deep was your run? also great video, def need some gameplay
I ended up just 1 win short of day 2 😢 I'll definitely try experimenting with throwing some gameplay in, even if it's just a few clips!
How did you do at the tournament with this deck?
Maybe 1 match to show off the gameplay
If you don't have prime catcher, would secret box be a good tech as a replacement for it?
I think it's pretty hard to substitute prime catcher, secret box might need you to add some other cards to get full value - if you have it, you could try unfair stamp!
Is there any line to take if you get a 2 prizer ko’d t1 by like raging bolt or moon besides Roxanne and pray? Feels not great to pop double Dusknoir to put them to 2 prizes but I can’t really see any other good way to keep up.
Whoops noticed you had mentioned it in your matchup piece. I’ve been going blind first on TCGL but keep getting bodied by the turbo decks if they get the t1 gust on Darkrai. I’m almost considering just going for only a 1 prize board if I see that on the other end
Yeah it's a bit difficult when you're basically playing best of one and going blind first, it's a bit easier when you can counter pick second - a one prize board state is hard to manage cause it means you can't squawk or start hand attaching to moon
i’m cool without a tcgl gameplay. can you post the deck list?
Thanks for reminding me! I've added the text version of the list to the video description
@@timdanklin thank you, I’ve been playing the loyal 3 and was looking for a video like this to readjust it so this was super helpful
What place did you get
How long would this be legal for ?
They haven't announced exactly when rotation will be - but Darkrai should be standard legal until early next year
Thanks for answering so quickly.
I have always been a fly on the wall with pokemon. I just haven't bought into it yet for the standard rotation. If I spend money on a deck and would like to play long past the rotation.
I saw the decklists popping up after I saw the charizard league level deck coming out on Nov 15th for $30.
secret sauce
