This Turbo 360 HP Archaludon ex Deck is UNSTOPPABLE! | Surging Sparks PTCGL
Archaludon ex is one of the coolest and most powerful cards to be released in the new Surging Sparks expansion, and I've been having a blast with it so far! With an incredibly broken "tank and recycle" playstyle, your opponents might never get a chance to KO this (effectively) 360 HP monster! Today, we'll be looking at my current build of Archaludon ex, which has about a 75% win rate on PTCGL! Let's check it out!
I hope you enjoy this Archaludon ex Deck Profile video!

Should the Pokémon TCG have Trap Cards?
Переглядів 2,2 тис.21 день тому
The Pokémon TCG is the only of the "main 3" trading card games to not have cards that interact and interfere with opponent's cards and actions during their turn. Thanks to a viewer suggestion, I decided to dive deep into the concept of integrating "trap card" and "counterspell"-like cards into the Pokémon Trading Card Game with some of my own custom cards! Let's check it out! Keep in mind, this...

Does the Starting Coin Flip Ruin Competitive Pokémon TCG Games?

Since the dawn of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, every game has been started by a coin flip to determine which player goes first, and which player goes second. But, in the Stellar Crown format, it seems like most meta decks heavily rely on the coin flip going their way, otherwise the game could just be potentially lost/ruined before it even begins! Today, I'll be sharing my thoughts about how m...
Are Control Decks Getting Too Much Support in the Pokémon TCG?

Control decks in the Pokémon TCG have always been hit-or-miss, depending on the specific cards related to disrupting, clogging, and blocking your opponent that are legal in a specific format. However, the Control archetype in the current Stellar Crown meta seems a bit too "overkill" for most people's liking...

The Sad Decline of Hand Disruption in the Pokémon TCG

Hand disruption has always been a competitive staple of the Pokémon Trading Card game due to its powerful (and sometimes even game winning) effect it can have on your opponent.

Today, we'll be taking a deep dive into the current hand d...

    Medicham, Ribombee, Crobat with Crispin and Reversal Energy. Does that count as a single prize card deck? Medicham sets a pokemon's HP to 50, Rib deals 30 and your next attack gives 2 more prize cards, Crobat gives his attack 2 more prize cards. So you take like 5 to 6 cards at once but it requires you to be losing generally for it to work, along with 3 turns to set up if you don't pull an evolution and also evolve a medicham. (Assuming 1 Reversal for Crobat, 1 Crispin and 1 Energy pulled). I'm surprised it isn't used since all energy needed is generic, but it's about to be out of rotation.

    • @pikiptcg
      @pikiptcg 7 днів тому

      I really like the idea for this combo! While it definitely seems super fragile, it's incredibly innovative and I'm definitely a sucker for gimmicky combos! I think that deciding whether it's a single prize deck or not is ultimately up to personal opinion, since it does require the use of an ex Pokémon. But I feel like this combo is a perfect representation of what a healthy "hybrid" deck would look like, and I'm really a big fan of it! I might have to tinker with it and see if I can pull it off!

      You bring up a great point that's actually been discussed a lot by the community these past few years! Stage 1 Pokémon unfortunately are a bit too slow in Stage 2-focused decks, but TPCI has tried making them reliable support engines and/or Bench-sitters with good Abilities (like Kirlia, Drakloak, and Charmeleon)... but they're all for meta decks that usually just use Rare Candy anyways. I'm sure that rotation will cause more people to fall back on more Stage 1 Pokemon, but until then, nearly every gatekeeper in this video benefits more from KOing the Stage 1s than the player actually trying to use them

      I'm super happy that I was able to help you get to Arceus! It's nice to see that the deck hasn't changed all too much, but Surging Sparks definitely gave the deck some much-appreciated upgrades, which definitely elevates the deck to a whole new level! I also like the idea of using TM Devolution against Zard and Dragapult (the worst matchups) a lot! I might have to try getting back into the swing of things with Miraidon! Thank you for the kind words and keep up the awesome work, my friend!

Evenin the way lower power level of Pokemon TCG Poccket, is all about ex decks with the exception of Dragonite, which while competitive, is not as trong as is a 2 (sometimes 3)energy deck, which almost unplayable in the current form. I do hope there´s hopes for single prize Pokemon in Pocket, I haven't played the real TCG, but from what i saw, I think there's no hope there.

  • @aubeary190
    @aubeary190 21 день тому

    Not a fan of hand traps and the like. A more healthy fix would be to not print or ban op abilities like dusknoir and/or to print counter cards in the meantime (i.e bench barrier but for damage counters/effects of abilities on a basic, or a stadium that turns off the active Pokémon’s abilities as an anti disruption card against mons like Iron Thorns). Judging by the upcoming Budew it seems they want to buff going second but a no cost attack that item locks on a free retreat basic is the worst kind of equalization

  • @Shadow01974
    @Shadow01974 22 дні тому

    Pokemon has slightly toyed with the ability of effects activating during your opponents turn in the form of things like Galarian Cursola V's ability, and various tool cards throughout the years. Not nearly as expansive as you went into with this video, but still something theyve dipped their toes into

  • @Cookie_Magika
    @Cookie_Magika 22 дні тому

    i would say that traps completely stopping your opponents plays aren't very fun to play with or against. maybe ace spec regulation allows you to search and puts its effect into play immediately after the opponent's happens. so you get unfair stamped, however once you draw regulations grabs and activates your spec to unfair stamp them (and lost zone both itself and your spec)

      So my ideas are, abilities, tools or energy cards that activate on your opponent's turn. Like: "whenever your opponens takes a price card draw a card". "You can attach this tool to your opponent's active Pokemon, when the Pokemon this card is attached to leaves the active spot put 5 damage counters on that Pokemon and discard this card.

    • @pikiptcg
      @pikiptcg 22 дні тому

      I completely agree with you on this, it's way too confusing and game-breaking to have immediate action counters like the ones I made (and being denied is super tilting, literally one of the worst feelings in a competitive game ever). Your ideas are definitely much better here, they would allow for more understandable situations and would allow opponents to have a chance to counterplay, unlike my cards, and your ideas are also pretty fun and not just detrimental to the opponent! There actually is one Pokémon, an Alakazam from 2007, that had an Ability (actually a Poke Power) that blocked opponent's Poke Powers during their turn by discarding two cards, similar to Knockout Neutralizer. Overall, I really like your ideas and wanted to thank you for your insight on this topic! I really appreciate it! 😁

      That's actually a very interesting ruling...

    Looker looks like a genuine great card.

      Out of all of these, I'd say the only one I'd actually petition for to be added would be Looker. It's the only one that can prevent an opposing action without potentially breaking the game or causing problems

      Even if they did somehow manage to program these cards into the game, the moment someone tries to play one of them, the game would probably freak out and crash the servers lol

    I feel like cards like fezandipity, orthworm, iron boulder, and klawf ex, (as well as counter catcher, counter gain, vengeful punch, deluxe bomb, etc) already have trap card type mechanics. Fez draws cards for your mons being fainted. Orth, boulder, and klawf ex do something when there hit, counter catcher and gain do stuff when your behind on prizes. Vengeful and deluxe do damage when an opponent either attacks or knockouts.

      That is true! Orthworm, Klawf, and Iron Boulder all technically do interact with your opponent at the end of their turn, but cards like Fez, Counter Catcher, and Counter Gain only can work during your turn, which makes them more like "comeback" cards rather than trap cards. But you're definitely correct about placing damage counters, that does technically count! I never thought of it that way!

    Fun fact: A card similar to Nemona's challenge already exists:Amoonguss (Silver Tempest 12).

      @pikiptcg 22 дні тому

      That is true! Amoonguss is probably one of the only cards in the modern era that can be played during your opponent's turn, I completely forgot about it! Thank you for reminding me!

    Power spray is the worst part of 2010 I really don't think trap cards make pokemon better, they just massively slow the game down.

    As a former yugioh player I can tell trap cards and “Interactivity during your opponents turn” is overrated. There’s plenty of interactivity in Pokémon. The only difference is that pokemon allows both players to play and both players have to play to respond to each others play. In yugioh, you deny you opponents ability to play at all which is not interactive at all. It results in play being overturned to play as many interruptions as possible vs decks designed ignore interactions.

      I've only ever played Pokémon competitively, and I honestly prefer the simplicity of the turn structure that it has compared to the other two TCGs. And your comment about denying opposing combos reinsures my preference even more... I would absolutely hate to try to set up a cool combo only for it to be completely picked apart by trap cards

      @@pikiptcg I’ve only ever had back and forth gameplay when coming to Pokémon. For Example, I played a match with Arceus/Giratina against a Lugia Player. Despite me Judging/Ionoing them under path to the peak we both had a back and forth game where either of us could have won given our decision making. You did a decent job trying to balance these cards but imagine trying to play them.

      Yeah, I don't think I've found a TCG that I fully jive with every aspect of. Yugioh's cardpool is far more fun for deckbuilding than any standard Pokemon format I've ever played, but I do definitely prefer the pace of play that Pokemon has over Yugioh. Personally, I tend to value deckbuilding as a whole more than the general gameplay because even in Yugioh, there is room for different playstyles depending on the deck you play. From my experience with Pokemon, rotations often result in repeating ideas that don't get a chance to interact with one another. The legacy of mechanics such as fossil Pokemon and the Lost Zone are great examples of archetypes that could be readily solved both with themed engines and boss monsters that support every aspect the gimmicks can support. The prime examples of this are Buried Fossil from Skyridge. A card that fixed one of the largest issues with fossil Pokemon by always being a basic Pokemon. Though I do wish that Yugioh's banlist would be used more liberally as a format sculpting tool because its by far the most flexible banlist template I've ever seen. For some reason, even for formats without rotation, the idea of limiting a card instead of banning it is surprisingly rare

      Don't worry, it shouldn't ever happen. TPCI experimented with those mechanics back in the DP era and it was not very well received, so they dropped the idea and haven't really made any cards since.
