Mog, I gotta say that after watching your videos for around 3-4 years now, with these intros you've been on the very top of your game lately. So consistent compared to previous years as well!
Everyone talks about how the new pokemon change the meta so much but for me the real MVP are the new trainers, they allow for more diversity in deck building and help to make niche cards totally viable
Its just sacky card. Like earlier my opp late game red card me (had 7 cards in hand), which on paper seems good bc -3, but it rerolled my hand into drawing my one off Sabrina for lethal. Without sab, id still have lethal on board, but he would get 1 more turn instead of insta kek
Major props for the glorious return Mogwai. Intros on point, and short enough that I actually DON'T skip them. Great content. And, of course, the signature Mogwai deck brews.
Mogwai, I have been watching your youtube channel since the official launch of runeterra, then into marvel snap and pokemon tcg pocket everyday. I hope you never lose your passion on card games. I’m supporting you no matter what.
Druddigon + Pidgeot EX is a nasty combination that feels incredibly consistent, the rough skin tanking allows pidgeot to consistently 1 shot most meta pokemon.
Thank you for the deck! I swapped kengi and one blue for a farfetch and a taurus The deck is very flexible with awesome pivots possible and I don’t feel like I have a losing matchup. Oftetimes it’s up to the enemies coin tosses, but more often that that it’s possible to rush them before it gets to that stage. Taurus is the late game ex killer win condition and he very often comes in clutch
Wow. I remember watching you during your LoR days with grapplr, was getting into pocket and noticed a vid from you again! Can never escape card games huh 😅
I was elated when I got my first Druddigon card. So much so I went into Wonder pick and got another one and then threw a deck together pretty similar to yours, except I ran Bruxish instead of Kangaskhan. Now I’m running Arcanine EX for that burst damage.
I like Tauros instead of Kangaskhan for the last basic. It adds so much consistency because in addition to Druddigon x2 + Greninja, you can also use Druddigon + Tauros, or Tauros + Greninja to kill those 130hp ex pokemon, while also providing reach to revenge kill 140hp (Articuno, Starmie) or even 150hp (Mewtwo) if you have Greninja. Mewtwo especially it is a trump card. It also retreats for 2 instead of 3 which makes Leaf better. And to top it off it has no colored requirements at all so you can always start building it up right at the start of the game with no risk of not finding one of the colors.
I prefer super sentai with marshadow and hitmonlee. I use chatot to ensure i got everything then use chatot as marsh bait. If they dont bite hitmonlee and greninjas are pewing the bench
I've seen this deck run with a Bruxish as the third basic. It's got nice synergy with Druddigon since its attack does 70 to opponents that have already taken damage.
Hi Mog! Just wanna share the Jolteon/Flareion deck and swapped kangga with mew ex and budding explorer. Only one sabrina and giovani tho, hoping you can maybe fine tune it with items and trainers as I don't have them all. Hope we can see it on your stream
built this deck today and its by far the most fun deck I've played this expansion besides the new poison deck with scoliopeded and weezing. Its amazing how many wins it can pull off against the top meta decks. people really underestimate how much the damage builds up and get surprise ko'ed often.
Mog, I tried your exact deck, only I switched your Kanga out for 1 Red Card. I can guarantee that red card won me one exact game where I knocked the opponent's hand down from 6 cards to 3 cards. You don't need any other Pokemon other than Druddigon & Greninja.
"What's the worst Stage 2 Pokemon we have?" "Dragonite, it's really inconsistent" "Let's add a card that makes it even worse!" "YEEEEEAH!" And thus they made Blue
Kinda thinking about running a Tauros in a few decks. I feel like it can be pretty cool against EX mons, but doesn't seem like it'd be good as the central focus of a deck.
Hand Scope is the only reason why Red Card can be good. Jeff Hoodland(love him or hate him) put out a really good video behind the math of red card. The TLDW is red card has a higher chance of either doing nothing or helping your opponent.
Whatpokemonshouldibuildadeckaroundnext? Alakazam Mew and Sigilyph, because it simply counters all those celeby and decks that like to stack high amounts of energy and seems fun.
I *just* made a similar deck last night, but with ninetails/blaine instead of khangahhan since vulpix also kind of stalls and ninetails oneshotting celebi is too good the rare chance it happens, and the omanyte line, I've seen a lot of people use druddigon purely as a wall but it hits so hard too, so it's cool seeing decks actually try making use of its power
Yesterday after the stream I had massive success with this deck. But today, against a horde of Celebi ex decks, I always lost (up to ten times) because I missed my key cards at the end of the deck lmao
Oh man i like this. Ive been trying someong similar with the new torous and greninja but just couldnt get enough damage outside of EX. Gonna drop the bruxish and a torous for 2 druds now
You should try and make a deck focused on the new Primeape. I did with Marshadow and Sandslash for a fast aggro fighting deck and it has been WAY better than I expected. just 1 punch from Primeape and Marshadow can finish off Mewtwo ex with revenge. I would love to see what you can potentially do with it. If nothing else this has shown me the new Primeape might be slept on and you're just the right person to show everyone.
With it requiring 3 total energy, it's actually pretty reasonable to get the right combination of energy in time to actually attack. I've been playing Greninja/Druddigon/Flareon, and I have rarely had issues where I had the wrong energy, with one case actually being my own fault for forgetting what my plan was and attaching wrong.
STOP HITTING YOURSELF: Poliwrath drudigon. Poliwrath has only 1 water energy requirement, and his pre-evolutions need colourless energy. Been having some fun games with it, you can use any of both as a tank and build up the other
So in the 8 games you shiwed you were able to have greninja on your 3rd turn 7 times and in the last game on your 4th turn seems totally not random and very reliable. I dont even wanna know the odds of this happening
I used that same deck but with Mew ex in Kang place, basically ensures victory against Charizard and Mew2. My only complaint is the energy in this game. I can go 7-8 turns only getting water.
@2@7@then the following it keeps decreasing. The way it is now it’s like every turn you get a 50% chance of getting any type of energy, and it leads to these situations, play enough with multi color and you will always face that.
Ginja, Drud and rapidash. in my opinion is way waaay better than this deck. I legit have no problem facing celebis. the moment I saw drud it just popped onto my head. I legit dont care anything else about this new deck, I guess except gyarados ex. but holy shit it was so fun to play. greninja have always been my "fun" deck but the addition of of drud and new rapidash + the current state of the meta, the "fun" deck literally became one of my most if not the best competitive deck I currently have. have a try at it mog :D 27 wins now, and legit have not lost a single one against celebis. so thats like 8-10 battles against them I think. 2x prof 2x blaine 2x pokeballs also think leaf would also work quite well definitely but I've closed many games using 1 energy, 1 xspeed pivoing to rapidash + blaine, ending the game so consider that.

Fact❤
Mog: "Red card is a horrible card and you shouldn't play it"
Also Mog every game on turn 2: "Please don't red card me, I beg you!"
REAL
Red card is bad but that doesn't mean people can't get lucky with it.
Turn 2 red card requires psychic powers that us normal players don't have
That’s basically me as well. I think red card is the worst card in the game yet I fear for 0.1 percent chance they get lucky
Its just sacky card. Like earlier my opp late game red card me (had 7 cards in hand), which on paper seems good bc -3, but it rerolled my hand into drawing my one off Sabrina for lethal. Without sab, id still have lethal on board, but he would get 1 more turn instead of insta kek

Pidgeot Ex & Druddigon deck with poke flute I built has been so fun. Highly recommend
Literally been using druddigon non stop before you put this video out my deck is a bit different but I will be trying this. Such a good card
What is your deck then?
This is probably the best deck i've seen in the channel, gj Mog
Druddigon + Pidgeot EX is a nasty combination that feels incredibly consistent, the rough skin tanking allows pidgeot to consistently 1 shot most meta pokemon.
i think pidgeot is just really slept on right now, it seems very good but no one is using it
@gooseteeth5455 Tbf some people might just not have it. I've done 45+ pulls and haven't gotten a single one 😭
@@gooseteeth5455im playing a rogue Omastar Pidgeot, its super fun
I've gotten 2 pidgeot ex (1 fa), 2 3* celebi, but only one snivy
The pigeot reqs 3 energy though. You just leave the dragon there as fodder then?
I love these intros 🤩🤩🤩 another great deck building! Thank you Miguel 🙌🏼

38:38 what would’ve happened if the attacked drudigon with their 20 hp aerodactyl? Would you have tied?
I got two of the nice looking marshadows, so I added them to the Cinccino deck you did a while back.
Mog, I love your intros. It feels smooth and interesting for me to watch unbtil the end. Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not the lose against the guy with 2 handscopes ,☠️ that was painful to see
one of the coolest decks you ever built
Keep up the good work ! I challenge u to make a deck with beheeyem the goat 🛸
Love to SEE Draven playing Pokémon Pocket i really love it❤
I've been trying to optimize my Drudigon Greninja deck. I might try this!
Actually made a version like this with salazzle, pretty tricky but fun actually, also matches well with celebi

@@LC-nx4nw actually it's a decent card if you use it skillfully. If you go against 2/3 stage evolution decks ofc...
Guys trust me … new executor is busted
I've been running this with Mew instead of Kangashkan and the expeditioner instead of one Leaf, I wonder which version works best
Whapokemonshouldibuildadeckaroundnext??!?
YOU DECIDE
I'd love to see decks built around Volcurna and Galvantula. Maybe they can work together?
They dont Work together
Would love to see salandit and salazzle
I use slandit they way mog has in a poison deck and made a celebi concede cuz they were getting smoked by my baby lizard
Would love to see your update on the Gengar LickMa deck!!!
"What's the worst Stage 2 Pokemon we have?"
"Dragonite, it's really inconsistent"
"Let's add a card that makes it even worse!"
"YEEEEEAH!"
And thus they made Blue
Hello. Is there any hope for Gengar EX? I tried thinking but there seems to be none lolo
Kinda thinking about running a Tauros in a few decks. I feel like it can be pretty cool against EX mons, but doesn't seem like it'd be good as the central focus of a deck.
New tauros seems legit in this build to kill the exs
How about a deck around the new Raichu? I’d like some ideas 😅😁
Greninja has got EVEN MORE useful 🔥
Been loving my drudd/greninja with mew ex tech. Mew is cracked

You should try a deck with hypno and dedene. I use 2 Zapdos and 1 mew for the main damage dealers and use 2 red cards just to be extra toxic
You gotta make a new vaporeon deck. They’re so busted if used right
WHATPOKEMONSHOULDIBUILDADECKAROUNDNEXT?
You decide.
Might be my new favourite card from the set.
Mixing this version of the drud deck with Neji's is getting me a lot of wins. Noice
I made my own Deck with Drudiggon and Poliwrath. Double rough skin lol !! It’s fun
The first time I encountered a Druddigon deck I countered it with a hitmonlee lol
Once again I return with a wish for Grapploct love.
I *just* made a similar deck last night, but with ninetails/blaine instead of khangahhan since vulpix also kind of stalls and ninetails oneshotting celebi is too good the rare chance it happens, and the omanyte line, I've seen a lot of people use druddigon purely as a wall but it hits so hard too, so it's cool seeing decks actually try making use of its power
With this deck what I found sometime is that my greninja cannot attack due to the game keep giving me fire energy 😂😂
Drud best card in set next to chatot, so many decks they buff
Yesterday after the stream I had massive success with this deck. But today, against a horde of Celebi ex decks, I always lost (up to ten times) because I missed my key cards at the end of the deck lmao
Oh man i like this. Ive been trying someong similar with the new torous and greninja but just couldnt get enough damage outside of EX. Gonna drop the bruxish and a torous for 2 druds now
I know mogs meme here is the "whatdeckshouldibuildnext" but i allways laughs at the a "yes this start is awesome" followed by plz don't red card me
38:17 could have just killed persian lmao
the handscope was for the persian bruv..

running him with dragonite seems more legit to be honest

I've been playing Greninja/Druddigon/Flareon, and I have rarely had issues where I had the wrong energy, with one case actually being my own fault for forgetting what my plan was and attaching wrong.
Can I replace Kangaskhan with another cards? Is the only card I'm missing from this deck
i've found success with the new rapidash (+ druddigon and greninja) but you're gonna have to toss out some trainer cards
Just buy it from the pack points
I tried this team and I decked out before the game gave me a single fire energy. Still won with water shurikens though.
The deck looks so nice!
I want you to build a Sniper deck!
I was 1 minute into this video when I pulled my first druddigon
STOP HITTING YOURSELF: Poliwrath drudigon.
Poliwrath has only 1 water energy requirement, and his pre-evolutions need colourless energy.
Been having some fun games with it, you can use any of both as a tank and build up the other

That card will allow you to search for any dragon pokemon or will allow you to jump one evolution of one dragon pokemon?
@ or give us the energy we need. Tired of getting water energy 5 turns in a row lmao.

wayyy better if you add blaine/rapidash along side greninja and druddigon
both rapidash and greninja only need 1 normal and 1 elemental energy, it works perfect
i've opened nearly 40 packs of Mystic Island and haven't gotten 1 Blue Supporter card 😭
