Not sure to what extent this has been tried before but Ive been having a ton of fun playing around with a dusknoir based deck. The video is a decent example of how hard to stop this deck can be once it gets running. Ive had lots of satisfying moments where guzzlord is at 10 hp and I get to just sacrifice one point to fully revive him and win the game.

The goal is to lead with a tanky attacker and keep it alive for a long time with support from dusknoir. I landed on Guzzlord as the attacker because I wanted a basic card so its easy to get online and one that would be able to tank hits from things like incineroar, stoke zard, and other common heavy hitters. Im not 100% sure he’s the best choice, preferably the attacker would be psychic type so I can actually use dusknoir + pre evos. I tried lunala but two stage twos was really clunky. Mewtwo doesnt hit the health threshold I wanted and its main attack takes two turns to recharge. Tldr: I think guzzlord is a pretty solid choice here but let me know if you have better ideas.

My main struggle right now is just balancing the trainers/non dusk support mons. I like having the heal cards in there, they’ve definitely won me a good number of games. Im running one shaymin which still up in the air about but he can get a ton of value over time. The x speeds, I decided were necessary because a majority of the time you start the game without guzz and it makes him much faster to deploy once you get him.

Its got some issues. Its probably never gonna be more than a gimmick deck as far as competitive goes. But it does pretty well, im pretty proud of it, and its quite fun to use. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

Really enjoying trying out a dusknoir deck
