In the last puzzle, if they manually retreat moon to either mew or billy, they can switch cart to heal and take it out of range. It’s still the most correct line though
in the gardi puzzle its optimal to CC the frigi cause it has 2 retreat and has a less optimal attack, and still leaves the option to safely scream tail the bad if you need too. Good vid tho learned a lot.
Incorrect because that frigi can actually deal damage to you for one energy, which they can be more likely to be ionod into than the 3 energy needed on bax
Actually the reason you bring up the Baxcalibur is because you are already hoping your opponent has a dead hand off of the iono, if they do and they can't retreat, you have the option of taking a miracle for or brainwave knock out the next turn to remove the Bax from play rather than needing to find another gust
If your opponent was to find a enough energy to retreat or attack with the Baxcalibur they would be able to win the game regardless by retreating to iron hands
For the Gardevoir puzzle I was thinking you evolve into ex and a shining arcana, get energy onto the board, and then Turo the ex away, then knock out hands to prevent game next turn.
Your videos are great dude! Come away always having learnt something! Its a nice change to the "top 10 decks of the month" recycle a lot of creators do
@@RowanStavenowTCG that's great to hear! I was trying to put it in a way that didn't shit on other creators at the same time! 😅 Was also set next to you R4 at Dortmund! I look forward to bumping into you at another EU event!
This is a great vid. I've been in similar spots at 4:55 as a Gardy player vs. that CPAO line of play (maybe not with Iron Hands), but it seems like I have better luck gusting up the Bib and sniping the Bax, as even if they get to draw up to 5 (instead of just the three cards they'd have), in those 5 cards you'd need another Bax, a candy, and then a way to get Bib out of the active. Isn't that more difficult to pull off even than hoping they don't have a way to energize the Bax to attack back? Curious your thoughts. It's one I run into a lot.
Why not? It is the perfect bait. If the Zard player uses Boss, they get punished by Turo. It is also beneficial to have the Zacian on the board to attack with next turn in the event of an Iono.
on the first puzzle, why not attach box to the benched mew and psychic leap? this forces them to either burn their vstar and a gusting card to take three prizes (if they can find tina vstar), or swing into mew and take two prizes which does nothing to advance their prize trade and puts you on even prizes. max miracle does 60 more damage, but given your small deck size and the amount of tablets left in deck, finding the two damage mods needed to KO a vstar next turn shouldnt be much of an issue
If they evolve and VSTAR, you can techno blast KO with zero tabs and follow up on the next Tina VSTAR for a OHKO using all the tabs you’ve got left. If you psychic leap you wouldn’t have the tabs for this play
For the last problem, isn't it better to attach 4 energies on ninja vs 3? 4 Energies gives you freedom incase they boss kill bax and you will just need 1 energy. 3 Energies, they might boss bax and you could be stuck. Seems like a small difference though, not sure how much win % you gain doing 3 vs 4.

2:29 the Gardy player here should never bench the zacian v.

I really like this kind of video. Hoping for more

Either way, late game both scenarios need rod (either for bax or ninja) and some way to search it out.
greeeat video, loved the content!
3rd puzzle . counter catcher frigi and collapsed no ?
Make more bro
