I was expecting Radiant Alakazam. Not only does it help with the math across multiple KOs (evolved or TM Devo), but it also would have ruined the Gengars in that Zoroark deck.
since you were so confused @LittleDarkFury , the last charizard deck is the automatically generated one, that was created when the new season started. that's why they have these weird cards in there.
Cool ace spec idea.. the Rarest Candy. You can evolve into a stage two on your first turn or whenever you put your basic Pokemon into play. You don't have to wait for next turn to evolve. Like Salvatore but for stage 2s.
@@LittleDarkFury it might need to be nerfed. Something like, if the stage 2 has abilities, they can't use them this turn when they evolve this way. That way Charizard and Pidgeot isn't too powerful.
I've been trying to get alakazam going and it tends to either brick a lot or just straight up lose to zard and roaring moon. I tried adding an espathra ex to the deck but it was generally still too inconsistent. I was running xatu though, so maybe I'll experiment with other draw engines.
With the release of the new baby Alakazam, do you think we will start seeing more Alakazam deck play? I could see a case for sticking up a heavy pokemon to do damage and then moving said damage to problematic bench characters while running card disruption as well.
Huge fan of this archetype! I play it with xatu, not flashy but it has nice synergy. Max belt is nice, can two shot charizard from the bench if you don’t get bossed.
Lmao. Something about the video cutting off right after the boss at the end that tells me there were some words yelled that weren’t UA-cam approved 😂 we’ve all been there. All skill no luck bro.
Hey LDF, do you think zoroark has a shot of being good next set? We get that tool kit ace spec, or we could now run frosslass - turo - max belt as a more consistent self damage engine
I think Zoroark is still gonna be rogue. Dragapult is gonna push it back super heavily. And Frosslass is amazing and funny but I don't think it'll be meta. The snorunt is pretty funny as well. I would love to be wrong but I think Pult is going to gatekeep just as many decks as Charizard. If Zard is the new Mew Vmax I think Pult will be the new Sableye. And I bet we are headed to a meta with about 5 extremely relevant decks and the rest getting bodied. Again, would love to be wrong but it's happened before.

@@LittleDarkFury Hi, maybe you can review the rat combo of TDMP (Togedemaru-Dedenne-Morpeko-Pikachu) with new additional cards from temporal forces and paradox rift.

Alakazam would be God Tier if there was a Leafy Camo Poncho for ex mons. Still love it when i use it on Arceus/Vulpix deck and people try to boss them.
@@LittleDarkFury I took your advice and decided maybe devolution would work. Maybe next time I'll get the jump but you played me well here so I definitely look forward to your next build man
@@LittleDarkFury i added 2 Flutter Manes and took out 1 klefki and a super rod. Still looking for more improvements. Thinking of possibly taking out radiant jirachi and defiance band, replacing neo energy with max belt. I would have 2 card spots, any suggestions?
Bro got trolled at the end with that boss 💀💀💀💀💀 one of the most scuffed games i have ever seen
Tragic end to that last game 🤣
When’s the radiant steelix video coming? I’m so keen!
I was expecting Radiant Alakazam. Not only does it help with the math across multiple KOs (evolved or TM Devo), but it also would have ruined the Gengars in that Zoroark deck.
Vengeful punch would hit Alakazam on the bench. Punch states that it pings the attacking pokemon instead of the active
The new Twilight Masquerade Alakazam could be a good second option after dealing down damage from the bench 😊
Ooh yeah been waiting for this one! Cant wait for the new alakazam one prizer coming out, will definitely give this a buff
I also added a Diancie to my Alakazam deck to prevent getting my Alakazam from being bossed in some situation
Dance only stops boss to your basic pokemon I think.
Wont work tho diance only blocks basics sadly
Could you revisit this deck with the last couple of expansions?
Yes please 🙏
Need to revisit Decidueye ex now that Lax won a regional. It has a lot more tools than when you did it 8 months ago. Buddy-Buddy, neo upper, etc.
Im working on a deci list too!
Alakazam+eri+blocklax+rad alakazam is actually kinda crazy

Ive also been testing with Blocklax!!
I'll try out your list and see how it runs differently from mine 😁👍
@@RandomSwitchGamer nice! Any suggestions are welcome.
My deck does have a few problems like not being able to reliably search blocklax and stage 2s
Mixing in the twilight masquerade line will make this deck very interesting. So glad to see kadabra finally get its day in the TCG!
And we maybe get the optimal abra too

what do you think about sneakertalkstcg's alakazam ex list?
In my Alakazam ex Deck I play Maximum Belt so I can 2 shot a zard. I'd love to send you the list and see what you think

I love the last game at the end. "Noooooooo" 😂 thanks for another awesome video LDF
I paired a 2-2 Espathra EX line in my Zam to combat Zard as well as 2 devos and it’s done really well
Hey LDF, do you think zoroark has a shot of being good next set? We get that tool kit ace spec, or we could now run frosslass - turo - max belt as a more consistent self damage engine
I think you could even use Emolga's Colorless move from TWM
Froslas is interesting. I dont know that its needed. The deck already does pretty well. Its rogue but a pretty good rogue deck as is.
I think Zoroark is still gonna be rogue. Dragapult is gonna push it back super heavily. And Frosslass is amazing and funny but I don't think it'll be meta. The snorunt is pretty funny as well.

Yeah unfortunately in testing dragapult is just a terrible matchup too
@@arifridman314 Rabsca on Zoroark would be dope if you go with Dodrio setup and Hyper Aroma
I think alakazam will like that new pokemon thats immune to pokemon with abilities
oh yeah
the ogrepon
Except kazan doesn't care, the ability mons aren't attacking

Played against an alakazam deck the other day with block snorlax, super annoying
Alakazam would be God Tier if there was a Leafy Camo Poncho for ex mons. Still love it when i use it on Arceus/Vulpix deck and people try to boss them.
On that last game on your last turn you could've used counter Catcher to gust up the moltres and OHKO it with alakazam and win the game like that
Counter catcher wasnt live when i had 1 prize left
@@LittleDarkFury OHHH right im dumb lmao
Does anybody know about the vengeful punch + attacking from bench interaction? I want to know 👀
Cornerstone ogrepon will be a huge wall for this
I use Max Belt...170 x 170 with Mim
This deck might be better when Twilight comes out and hopefully we see less zard on the ladder.
So, when will we get a video for rainbow Gouging Fire? 😉
🌸 soon
No one has been playing Alakazam ex for quite some time because of boss, and so how does that last game end...
I´d love to see the Outtakes of your Videos :D those cuts are at some suspicious Moments.
If there is anything we should know by now, its that Zard ALWAYS has it
That game against Zard was wild!
It's wild that alakazam is still around in the tcg but not vgc lol
I’d prefer max belt for Alakazam. Hit 170 from bench to ex Pokémon
Bad deck friday idea. Rebombee with kinggambit that one shots if opponent has 40 damage on it
Hi dude! Can you please make a new deck list for Annihilape? Thanks in advance!
Play ting Lu with the new set, baton + ting Lu is op
Idk why, but i think its interesting to see alakazam ex with iron thorn ex with path to the peak ability 😅
Thorns alakazam might be good!
hace un rato jugué con un deck igual, jugué con gengar EX... me costo un poco ganarle... pero si esta muy bueno, jejje un saludo
