Charmatter’s Dragon GLC Decklist
Deck Primer
EDIT: FLAPPLE IS HERE!
The Dreaded Dragon Depot
I have always loved the dragon type! Currently, the standard format does not have a prominent dragon archetype (maybe Regidrago Vstar?). To GLC we look for answers.
The basis of this deck is simple, get your dragons out as soon as possible with cards like Lance (Silver Tempest), Stormy Mountains (Evolving Skies), and via the incredibly powerful ability Dragon Call featured on Gabite (Dragons Exalted).
Drampa (McDonald's Collection 2022), Druddigon (Brilliant Stars), Haxorus (Brilliant Stars), and Garchomp (Brilliant Stars) are all heavy hitters but have an additional cost or criteria that must be fulfilled to reach their full potential. Once you get them online, there is not much that can stand in their way for more than a turn at most.
With cards like Raihan (Evolving Skies) and Teammates (Primal Clash), you can respond to knockouts quickly while also gathering other powerful resources such as Fighting Fury Belt (BREAKpoint) and VS Seeker (Phantom Forces). This allows for quick turnarounds and forces your opponent to respond turn after turn.
If you are not a fan of the current lineup, Pokemon like Noivern (Unified Minds) and Goodra (Fusion Strike) can replace another evolution line in the deck but with more evolutions does come the risk of not being able to set up fast enough, and may lead to you falling behind in the prize race.
This deck is a ton of fun to play! Feel free to comment and enjoy!
Thanks,

EDIT 5/3/2024
Dragon has been getting some love lately!
The Dragon type Applin, coming to us in Twilight Masquerade, finally makes Flapple (Evolving Skies) a playable card in GLC format. It's Acidic Mucus attack can do up to 300 damage for a single colorless energy making it an extremely versatile and powerful attacker that is best utilized in the late game when your opponent has had a chance to get their abilities into play. This Pokemon can take huge knock outs while allowing you to save your valuable energy cards for other attackers.
One card I cannot show you yet is the new Tatsugiri, also from Twilight Masquerade. Tatsugiri's "Attract Customers" reads "Once during your turn, if this Pokémon is in the Active Spot, you may look at the top 6 cards of your deck, reveal a Supporter card you find there, and put it into your hand. Shuffle the other cards back into your deck." This allows you to retire long time staple Dragonite (Team Up) in favor of a more space efficient method of supporter search. Slap a Float Stone (Plasma Freeze) on it and you have an "every time" pivot after getting knocked out. I guess it can drop 50 damage with it's Surf attack if you really needed it to.
I've been playing this deck for a few months and have often found myself running out of steam in the end game. I'm always thinking "If I could only get one more KO with this Garchomp (Brilliant Stars)!" Because of this, I have dropped Great Ball (Emerging Powers) (I added Buddy-Buddy Poffin (Temporal Forces) in a previous edit which has worked nicely) and added Luxurious Cape (Paradox Rift) to get more utility out of the big attackers. Although we surrender an extra prize card, it was likely that you were not going to finish the game out anyway.
