Epilogue

Ever have one of those chilling experience where you're trapped in the wake of dream? Or where your trying to run away from someone, but it feels like you're not going to make it? How about one of those dreams where you're encountered by a wild animal that threatens to tear you apart? Or possibly worst of all—that dream where you have this awesome collection of Pokémon cards—only to wake up and find all them gone! Our deck here is a tribute to chilling experiences like these.

Whether your intention is to wake your opponent up from their own dreaming, or force them to experience the nightmare first hand, the potential is here to do either as you wish. Yet we must all be reminded that every action begets a reaction, and in the reality of these physics, each of us effectively decide our fate in every choice that we make. For this reason, one should always be mindful to choose wisely, lest by their choices they're forced into a grim fate they cannot escape.

Such a fate—is like that of the [Abyssal Sleep]—a brutally powerful attack wielded by the Mythical Pokémon Collection Darkrai. The power of this attack is nearly unprecedented in the world of the Pokémon TCG, and therefore makes an amazing centerpiece for an intensely competitive deck.

At three energy, gathering the power for this attack can be somewhat of a challenge—yet in the hands of this Dark Patch deck engine—the power of [Abyssal Sleep] can be put at our fingertips in as little as a single turn. Naturally, the power of [Abyssal Sleep] is our primary resource, so we don't want to lose this potential by foolishly leaving Darkrai out there as our Active Pokémon. We want to hit our opponent's with [Abyssal Sleep]—then swing out to finish them off with Yveltal or Darkrai EX.

[Dark Pulse] Darkrai is one of our most adaptable resources by the combination of its power and availability—naturally making it one best follow ups to [Abyssal Sleep]—but don't lead with it if you can finish the job with something else. Reserve that power for a greater threat, so you can effectively take it out with lots of open range in your HP, in the event you have to make a heavy exchange.

Supplementary to this, the exclusive Dark energy base here helps to ensure that the power of [Dark Pulse] does not get watered down any, and the extra turns with Yveltal (or anything else) help to further this potential.

I've been through experiment extensively—and came to conclude that attempting to hotfix the [Dark Pulse] Darkrai card with the use of Double Colorless Energy—ultimately only adulterated its power. Using Double Colorless Energy, the power of [Dark Pulse] often fell miserably short when it was desperately needed, effectively proving it to be more consequential than anything else.

That is why it's not included here, and don't consider adding any to it, or you're likely be the one getting put to sleep. There are so many energy adaptable resources here, that it should be no problem to amounting all the dark energy you need. Let's use our head for what it's there for—and try not to hold on too closely to our dreams—for they could be someone else's haunting reality.
