And for everybody that’s looking to pick up Greninja in Expanded, here’s a bit of advice. This deck is very vulnerable to Guzma and Lysandre. When you have Starmie and weakened, unevolved Frogadier on the bench, your opponent will have a free prize card. This deck has an absolutely horrible mirror match, because you have to repeatedly Shadow Stitching, and only Muscle Band can boost that damage. Night March just DIES to this, and that’s not even funny. Marshadow’s ability will be blocked, and your opponent will basically be forced to scoop once you take out their Marshadows. In case you find a GardeGallade deck in Expanded, you pretty much win, as long as you get a Turn 3 Greninja. It does take a bit of luck, but it’s possible that you can easily win. Shadow Stitching to block Secret Spring, Galllade’s Premonition, and Octillery’s Abyssal Hand is crazy, and blocks any chance of setting up, except for N, Cynthia, and Sycamore. Buzzwole is a really tough matchup, because they can take out a 2 Froakie in a single turn with the luck of the draw of no Frogadier and no way to get them out. But I think once you really get going, it’s an easier matchup. However, I’ve never actually played against Buzzwole, so I don’t have much more to say about that. Zoroark GX is gonna get blocked from Trade. That’s good because that ability is its only way of draw support. Zoroark is seeing less play, though, so I wouldn’t worry about it too much.
I hope I helped anyone who was thinking of playing Greninja in Expanded.

I have always felt Greninja Break is bdif on paper. The problem is it just beats itself with “Greninja hands”.

How would you fit a couple Counter Catcher in this list? I think Catcher gives you a better chance against decks that play the Giratina promo. Would you just swap the Max Potions for them?

I seriously don’t know why people hate on this deck. It’s amazing! It blocks out Malamar, and can dish out crazy hits with Shurikens and Moonlight Slashes. I’m going to be very, very sad when this rotates, but I’m playing this in Expanded no matter what. Everything I just said comes from a Greninja player, so I’m just defending my favorite deck.

Do a Lucario garb it Lucario zoroark

*dry heaves*

I can’t wait for this to rotate. Also, interesting that he still swears by Bubble in this format.

Greninja Break maybe in expanded?

I hate Greninja BREAK with a passion. The first tournament I took it to the very first game I played I prized 2 frogs and the other one was in my hand when I used Water Duplicates. Every time I even think about taking it to another tournament those kind of shenanigans happen.

I don’t know how people play this deck competitively. I almost lost to the TEST DECK opponent in PTCGO! Took like 6 turns to get a GB out.

Hey Mr. Mahone, I played Zygarde/Lycanroc at the New Zealand Special Event this weekend and another guy playing the same deck won the whole event. Think about doing a Deck Pro or Playthrough video on our deck please? Zygarde Lycanroc (no bonnies!) . Similar enough to Klive Aw list from Asia that keeps placing well in events (multiple top 3’s) just use his list 🙂 You might find its pretty sneakily strong and has good matchups vs malamar and zoroark, and not to shabby vs buzz.
