they really need to start giving pokemon more than 1 move especially when it's a stage 2. Like they could easily give venusaur (non Ex version) a alternate move from the ex version, which would make you decide which one to bring. like even something as simple as a 1 energy attack for 20-30 damage for the non ex venusaur.
If u like tentacruel, just play it with Greninja, its op as hell, ofc Starmie Greninja is better but sometimes Tentacruel being only 1 prize comes in clutch
37:15 The moral of this story is: "Play to your outs." If you've got a line that can win, and no others, you take that line. It doesn't matter if you need the luck of the gods, if it's your only chance you have to take those odds. Also wth Basic Venusaur did something. EX would've lost you the game in that state. Unironically won you the game. That's wild.
@@3ffortless-9 More like "true for all the *phase 2* Ex except Gengar". Mewtwo, Articuno, Zapdos, Raichu, Exeggutor, Wigglytuff and Marowak all have their uses even in their weakened form and usually they do things differently enough to be classified as something else rather than being better or worse than their stronger variants, but phase 2 Mons are so slow that once you have them on the board you want the maximum value, so it's better to play the most powerful variant (and that still didn't stop a guy from running a single standard Blastoise alongside two Exes at a tournament), not to mention that except for Gengar they *all* are a copy of their weaker forms but with higher stats and sometimes a new move to attack on curve while many others, like Wigglytuff, are way different mons. Venusaur in particular, like Zard or Champ, *is* indeed just a worse Venusaur-Ex.
Could you make a deck using the full art Snorlax and the accompanying Pokemon in the scene to make a deck? The Oddish, the vennonat, and the bellsprout, I think it would make a decent deck
Mogwai ive gotta go to the office tomorrow which sucks but for now I have my phone propped up against my pillow and am going to fall asleep to this video. Love your channel!
i guess the only major benefit of running one regular Venusaur in a Venusaur EX deck, is having better chances at living against Dragonite decks, and a contingency to if you just have both of your EXs at the very bottom of your deck and need a substitute (which happens very often to me so idk maybe this is a deck for me lol)
Much love as always hermano but... I've been feeling pretty burnt out by the lack of variety, I only ever see the blue and yellow decks, Articuno and Pika... and the slow trickle of new cards, can't do anything with the gobs of duplicates, the Free to Play model is rough... I recently found WarpForge because I'm a big Warhammer 40k fan but... I think the Free to Play there might even be more toxic... gods how I still miss Runeterra...
@@jprec5174 Why do you want to wait for an evolution when you can just use Mewtwo for a wall with better retreat and there are probably better walls like Snorlax?
The "double red card your mum" is a bit unsportsmanlike, besides too harsh. He didn't even double Misty you to be fair, which you say it's the most compromising card of the game. While there are better cards, it's also luck dependent, for example, I only got 1 sabrina in 150 packs and had to buy the other. I menaged to get 2 3* Mewtwo and 1 3* pikachu before getting 2 sabrina or giovanni XD.
Ditto is bad because you select only enemy cards and you need the same energy as well as their cost, stop asking for it... There's no consistent deck with Ditto.
@darkskyxgames Stop asking? This is literally the first time I've asked for it. And I'm aware it's not the greatest card, that's partially why I asked for it. Mogwai has shown himself to be fairly creative with a wide variety of cards, so I figured it'd be entertaining to see what he cooks up, even if it's not a meta defining deck.
@lrthedude There are a lot of people always asking the same things in the videos over and over. They don't understand there are some really bad cards out there.
That last attack before conceding is something I've seen from salty players a lot. They're getting last damage and then not letting you get another point. As for the card balancing...MTG Arena has an entire digital only set called Alchemy which is usually used to balance or play test the game without modifying the existing paper card counterparts. They can always do something similar in PTCGP due to the difference in its format.
I always laugh whenever i see this! Its like when an anime character punches the overpowered guy in the face and they dont flinch, they know theyve lost and are just flailing in futility lmao
Hello from austria. Could you try a deck with Mew, 2x Meowth, 2x Persian, 2x GoldAmber, 2x Aerodactyl, Porygon, Ditto, 2x PokeBall, 2x Sabrina, 2x Prof.Research, X-Speed, Handscope and Red Card. Had some fun playing with it. Played with psychic and fire energy. Hope you give it a try. c ya
Prayer in 8:06 is hilarious let us prayge: Dear godwai, who art in spain Tyler by thy name the Kingler come thy Beedrill be done give is this day our daily deck And forgive us our ropes as we forgive those who rope against us and lead us not into Meta but deliver us from aggro Amen
The digitalization of tcg hasn't really made a difference. Even if people didn't have the option to netdeck, they would still barely know the most optimum plays. People just wanna play the game. Its not of most peoples particular interest to sweat it out on hobby's, just to enjoy the game
wha-pokemo'shoui'buil'thedeck'aroun'next?? YOU decide 😏
That's pretty much how it sounds😂
WHAT pokamashudabillidekaran NEXT? .....YOU deciiide.
FR
EPIC RAP BATTLES OF... Wait, wrong channel.
"bro what is Venusaur doing"
"his best"
The lack of confidence and brutal honesty in the intro is fantastic. Why build this deck? Why not? True deck cooking spirit.
Man, how I'm thankful to you, thank you a lot , i found you from twitter and I learn a lot via battle on pokemon pgc. Have a great day.
That fast phrase and the creepy stare is 70 percent of the reason i keep coming to watch his videos 😂
Venusaur deck... WITH 1 VENUSAUR
love the honesty in intro though lol

Great idea. I am sure they have many things we will see implemented over the next year
Got clickbaited by Mog??? Damn
Tentacruel next, potentially with 2 energy types. Or Victreebel deck.
Just ran into a Tentacruel/ Greninja deck, that did *not* felt good.
He tried Victribell, not good
He does have a Tentacruel deck, but is also the water fossil pokemon deck also.
If u like tentacruel, just play it with Greninja, its op as hell, ofc Starmie Greninja is better but sometimes Tentacruel being only 1 prize comes in clutch
I tried Tentacruel Gyarados, it kinda works.

Genuinely true! And people say it's clickbait smh
That poké remix of the Lord's prayer as actually fire 🔥
The dragonite game was insane, i dont think i couldve have piloted that..
It truly is just a bad card, it's only better than the ex when dying...
horrendous take cuz every card is worse then the ex variant except when dyin thats the point of an ex only card that this isnt true for is gengars

Lol, appreciate the honesty in this one. Venu decks are a struggle. I want it to be good so bad, but it's not even good in NOEX

The deck building 🐐💯

Congratulations my friend. It gives us confidence to show the matches you lost. Like other liars, you don’t just make us watch the matches you won 👍🏻
Anyone dissing my baby venusaur will be hunted down, he's just a baby trying to survive in this cruel game
A classic approach is best when playing favorites!
That dragonite match was insane
that sleep was amazing
Bruh this is just a venasaur ex deck, I thought you would try to make a deck with just the baby venasaur. Come on man

Say "what pokemon should i build a deck around next?" 5 times fast
40 minutes in and finally the title card hits the board.
The first opponent definitely miss clicked, seems so easy to do. I have done it 2 times now in moments like that ahahah 7:43
"What pokémon shuebsldirbvsidhskejgeuufjr next?!"
"for a thumbnail "😂😂
Autopiloting the mewtwo deck is next level stuff
Cloyster deck nexttt
Pretty bad card ngl
@@darkskyxgamesif u can evolve on curve, it's not a bad wall
@@jprec5174 Why do you want to wait for an evolution when you can just use Mewtwo for a wall with better retreat and there are probably better walls like Snorlax?
@ snorlax is an awful wall. Mewtwo sucks as well
@@jprec5174 But Cloyster doesn't suck needing and evolution and having 3 costs for retreat and energy. Ok dude, I'm not reading more from you.
pinsir deck, give my boy pinsir some love 🙏🙏
Here is a challenge: Build a Golurk deck
Whoever said Venusaur has a 12.5% drop rate needs to take a statistics class. I've opened 16 packs now, no Venusaur, but I have 8 useless onix 😡🤬🤬
Wow the promo card is a sacrificial lamb lol
Take a shot every time he touches his face
8:08 Amen
Did not appreciate the blasphemy @8:18
Can you try a golem deck ? I tried him with onix and brock and I’ts decent but maybe you have better options
Yo Mog I love bug type pokemon! Can you make a deck with that theme? Maybe Pinsir?
When we can search for stage 2s but not EX Pokémon, cards like these could see more play though
CLICKBAIT CLICKBAIT 😂😂
The current event is less of a Venusaur event and more of a Greninja event.
Real got like 90% greninjas
I think you meant Jigglypuff event
I have 2 venusaur back to back in like 4 packs hahaha
Same I only got 2 copies, while I already got 10 greninja and 8 jigglypuff 😂
@@FunHuma I have 5 venusaurs till now 😂

hi mog! i have some deck ideas for you! pure moltres deck (2 ex 2 normal) + aerodactyl, articuno hypno and venomoth exeggutor ex
Bro u should try Bruxish - Greninja deck. You playing well. Hope to see it
Yeah I been running bruxish ninja skhan, goes pretty good
Jolteon/Vaporeon/draconite?
BISHARP PLEASE I’ve been trying stuff with hypno but idk what shell to pair him with in an aggro Giovanni math deck
Hope you become the Haydunn of Pokemon Pocket
he didn’t say have a soul day enjoy the games and that he’ll see us tomorrow :(
if anyone can make slowpoke playable, it's you 👀
We need to see a Ditto deck. No idea how you'd pull that off, but I'd love to see someone try

We’d need like a special rainbow energy card or two to make Ditto work.
@@Hyper_Drud He did a bad Ditto deck today just for the people asking him that can only win against some fire decks XD
I use the normal venasaur and no EX with butterfree and suprising its still good
I have an idea 4 u 2xblastoise ex + 2xKrabboss deck with misty

Prayer in 8:06 is hilarious
let us prayge:
Dear godwai,
who art in spain
Tyler by thy name
the Kingler come
thy Beedrill be done
give is this day our daily deck
And forgive us our ropes
as we forgive those who rope against us
and lead us not into Meta
but deliver us from aggro
Amen
do all the Non Ex kanto starters!!!
Can you make nidoqueen work?
Veno takes so long to build up… it’s just worth using the EX instead of the normal version
You if you're not running 2 ex then you want an ex late game after 2 prizes worth of eggs or khan
I'm sitting here three hours trying to make a Persian deck. I don't know how you are doing this .
Please make a Persian deck ❤
My luck:
6 jigglypuff
5 onix
5 greninja
3 haunter
0 venusaur
😭😭😭
Form a deck using ditto!
Waiting on a Golurk deck, day 5.
bro 30 minutes in and no basic venusaur was ever in play 😢
Miguel, o que tú acha de fazer um deck de psyduck+Gengar??? To stop misty and Sabrina players🐸
The name should be GigaDick... I mean GigaDuck😂
waiting for the Victreebel deck
whapokemoshouibuilthedeckaroun'next that was speed record!
Do Lapras EX and Butterfree water energy only.
5:05 there i am😮
vaporeon weezing deck?
Tried it, too weak. Weezing pairs best with tech like greninja or with a sweeper like an ex or alakazam
isn't this like saying Pikachu EX decks are just Pincurchin decks?

Do a Slowbro deck, bro (I hope you see what I did here)
Damn, I got scammed
fearow deck !!
gyarados but instead of gambling on misty you gamble on discarding the energy
@@zycp312 Just play all, water Misty Fearow Gyarados deck.
Seriously begging you to make a viable seadra deck
Let's wait to Kindra
Rhydon please.
Too bad we don't have full heal
No bullshit i've gotten like 10 pretty event venusaurs... And I dont even want him I want greninja xD
You smoke a lot of copium powder on that intro.
I wanna see an Evee deck
Do cloyster
"best starter" LOL!
Machamp non ex
Day 1 of asking to do a normal type deck
My last day as member.
the kind of clickbait I click everytime
Make Fearow work
this is executor deck for sure. hahahaha. venusaur only good for display board
Well, I made it as far as the deck list 😂 see you next video
Not gonna lie...I feel kinda cheated :(
Still liked the video though.
Def clickbaiting. Lololol fk venosaur slow azz 🤣🤣
what happened MTG???
