Snorlax Without Rotom, Your Ticket To The Top

Cyrus takes an in depth look at Snorlax Stall in the Stellar Crown metagame. Showcasing a new build that has been popping up lately that doesn't include Rotom V!

Hey folks, welcome back to Schemanske’s Corner! Today, I have a very cool deck to talk about with you and that is Snorlax Stall without Rotom V.

Rotom V has always felt like a necessary evil in Snorlax decks; it gives up 2 prize cards, gives your opponent opportunities to break Block lock, and is relatively frail.

Lately, with Dusknoir in the format, Rotom V feels like more of a liability than ever, especially in matchups where Mimikyu plays a pivotal role. Additionally, Spiritomb has been making its way into more and more decks lately to counter the many top decks that have a heavy reliance on Rotom V and/or Lumineon V.

So what if we didn’t need Rotom V, what if Snorlax could establish a board and find key resources throughout the game just fine without it?

Well as it turns out, it can! Sander Wojcik recently finished top 16 at the Lille Regional Championships with this list that focuses on using Boxed Order and a heavy draw Supporter count to build up a powerful hand. This is a list with a lot of very strong ideas, that gives us a new core to Snorlax Stall. There’s a lot of things that we can do differently though, so I’ve made some changes of my own to this build.
