espathra was third most popular deck in day two of a regional (temporal forces gameplay)

espathra ex was pretty successful at the sao paulo regional championship. it got 8 day two's and 6 of them were on group that all played the same 60 cards so i had to revisit it. they switched a couple cards from braiden elfert's original list to fit an extra banette ex line, so i played a few games with it and put two of the more interesting ones in this video.

I've been seeing this deck all over the ranked ladder lately, i like the idea of Spiritomb personally shuts down Rotom and Lumineon V

[@sixpokemanstcg]

true, i probably undervalue the card quite a bit now that mew isnt a thing anymore. ill have to try it in more decks

[@shaunlester7429]

Nice deck. Been running something similar but with a flutter mane instead of spiritomb. I've disrupted a few lost boxes with it as they've been unable to flower select for a turn or two.

[@sixpokemanstcg]

the fluttermane is really good in this deck. im torn on if the second banette ex is worth not having fluttermane or even mimikyu as an option
