Garchomp/ Altaria- Next Luxchomp or Next Lostgar?

-Fluffychomp!

Today's article will be on a deck that has received a lot of hype and I am here to give you my opinion on it, 2 lists, card explanations, and we will see if it is the next Luxchomp or the next Lostgar! Wow. That's a lot!

Fluffychomp--Garchomp/Altaria

Fluffychomp is a deck that has received a lot of hype. But under all of that Hype lies one thing. A reason. Every time something is expected to be good there has to be a reason. Here are the results from week 1 of the Japanese Spring Battle Carnival events.

Tournament 1

1st- Darkrai EX/Hydriegon
2nd- Garchomp/Altaria
3rd- Eelektrik/Zekrom/Mewtwo EX/Raikou EX
4th- Terrakion EX/Mewtwo EX/Bouffalant

So as you can see this deck started when someone took it to week 1 and took 2nd in an undeveloped metagame. In the first week of a tournament series decks are undeveloped and simple quick decks can take easy wins. Lets look at week 2.

Card of the Week- Raikou EX

Today will be my first COTW. In a COTW, I explain the card's qualities, the price, and the decks it could be used in. I also don't usually have an intro.

When this card was released, it was said to be good, after Battle Roads people thought it was bad and had no use in Eelektrik decks. Then at U.S. Nationals, a group of North Carolina players piloted it to an (almost) victory using heavy focus on the Raikou and Mewtwo.
