how can I make the deck work faster?

[SandaledOtter]

This will take time to work,. but you can improve it by removing energy and adding energy draw.

 

Faba isn't helping your strategy directly, as it targets tools and energy, not supporters.

 

Lady, Ultra Ball, Energy Retrieval, Aqua Patch? You said 2020, I'm not sure what's sticking around.

Not sure what expansion Lady’s from, but all those others are rotating. UPR and forwards are staying.

Lady's FLi; she should be good for another year.

Ok, thanks for clearing that up for me.

 

And hey SuperStone! It’s been a while. How are things going?

Going Doinkfully!  I'm gonna make a thread in a minute here evaluating the game changes/apologizing for the absence. XD  I'm gonna read other people's take on the updates first, but that doesn't seem to be too dense a topic.

 

How's yourself?

Great! I can’t wait to read that new thread.

 

I’m doing fine! My activity levels I’d say have lowered, but I’m starting up the Forum Norm, which I’m enjoying so far.

 

This is way off-topic, so let’s not hijack RGBGSCRSE’s thread, and bring this to a PM.

OK, WB and all, but what about this person's deck, trying to win via Unown (Missing)?

[SuperStone]

The trouble with Missing is that your opponent has to even have 12 supporters in their deck, which is surprisingly uncommon in Standard right now.  But I suppose you know that already; the question is how to win faster against the decks that do.  Here's what I have to say:

-cut down to 7 or 8 energy.  None of your attacks need more than one, and crushing hammers probably won't be common, so the attachments should be safe.

-Go up to 3 Lillie and 3 or 4 PokeCom.

-Gosh, this is hard, isn't it?  There are some older cards that would help, but most are XY-era.  I'm afraid I don't have anything insightful to say.  Lt. Surge might help; you're certainly going down in prizes, and being able to play Lusamine more freely and Mars in conjunction with stronger draw could improve consistency and pace.

*shrug* I fold.
