    Thanks for this! This deck pack is insane, the 3 charizards themselves are the same cost of the box, so it's actually a very profiteable way to get some useful and all-around cards if you're starting!

    how would you upgrade this with the set rotation in mind, I'm new to the tcg and looking to use this to get into the game, but I don't want to get a bunch of cards that aren't usage in events in 3/4 months, any advice?

      @harrybrass734 I'd cross that bridge when we get to it. We know nothing about what comes after prismatic evolutions and how it affects the metagame.

    I'd add Canceling Cologne jut in case you have to battle a Iron Thorns ex deck. It's Zard ex's Kryptonite and you absolutely need to get a Zard on the board asap to stop your opponent from rotating 3 of them.

    • @st00ben
      @st00ben  2 дні тому +1

      Charizard ex gets them right out of the deck, so you don't want/need to draw into them and when they're needed you can just search for one with Pidgeot ex!

  • @adamlassen1185

    the one thing you're missing that would be good is to tell us the prices on the added cards and then the total price of the deck.

    • @st00ben
      @st00ben  Місяць тому

      @adamlassen1185 prices change so often on cards that it's pointless, as that information is almost instantly dated.
      Example: Prime Catcher was 20-25 before this deck was released. Now it's under 13 on average.

    As a new TCG player it would be nice to know why you removed some cards. Saying “This stadium doesn’t really help much” is a bit vague for someone who hasn’t heard about that card yet. Just a suggestion, but thanks for the video! :)

    • @st00ben
      @st00ben  12 днів тому

      So, in this specific instance, the stadium card in question is Artazon, which allows each player to search their deck for a basic non-rulebox Pokemon and place it on their bench. This sounds helpful, but it also helps your opponent to set up and play the game, which in turn is more harm for you than help.

    This deck is awesome! I really wanna get it whenever I can as I've been looking for a good cheap irl deck.
    The deck itself is cool and I love your upgrade guide as I found it useful.
    Pokemon has been killing it with making getting into the competitive side of things more accessable.
    Speaking of killing it Your videos have been amazing lately! Keep Up the good work❤

    • @st00ben

      Ogerpon can be played around skillfully with Radiant Charizard and forcing the Briar turn. Mimikyu can be handled with Dusclops/Noir, but the Quad Mimikyu deck running around is def a problem LOL

      @ Out of curiosity do you think it’s still worth buying the Gardevoir EX League Battle Deck? I read that the cards will rotate out or something but are there other cards in the deck that could be used in this deck? Or could you mix the decks and have a Fire and Psychic deck?

    Do you think Precious Trolley could be better to use in order to cut some of the search ball cards and use other tech cards in its place? Or is Unfair Stamps raw power with switching and disruption too good right now? I only play TCG Live and other than switching out the 50hp pidegy's with 60hp, that's the final card im willing to spend credits on before not upgrading for a long time.
