Arcanine ex Is SUPER Strong! Don't Attack It! Fire Armarouge Combo Scarlet & Violet PTCGL

[@cheddarsmith6568]

Best part about this is it’s the card that everyone got as a starter deck, so everyone can play it!

[@ZNEO3NZ]

You have to get armorouge

[@cheddarsmith6568]

@@ZNEO3NZ not too expensive

[@nix4110]

The starter decklist is actually pretty good on it's own tbh. Not like the other default decklists

[@Timmir00]

For that last match, I think your opponent might have timed out, hence why their turn ended without an attack. I do feel the timer on Live is a little to aggressive. It doesn't give you much time to make decisions at all, especially for those who are inexperienced at the game.

[@t.j.helming5534]

I love the Arcanine [tera] ex deck online that I modified from the tcg live starter deck! I put in Heatmor and kept the stage 2 charizard line that doubles each fire energy; plus, I have tech-ins such as 1 (baby) Chi-Yu and 1 picnic basket (which has pulled it's weight surprisingly enough). So far, my only complaint is that it's now a-days hard to knock out high hp pokemon like charizard ex (330hp); Tyranitar [tera] ex (340); and etc. Which basically means you're taking an auto loss unless you get set up faster than them, which has been rare for me personally!!

[@ZNEO3NZ]

29:37 you forget about vitality and the new counter belt, both of those are great picks to put in Mewtwo rocks, vitality hits the 280 mark for both vstar and ex and the counter one is way easy to use because you can sac rocks first.

[@EchoofSnac]

I fought this thing with Regieleki, dealing damage to it while it was on the bench, but it wouldn't go above 220 damage. I literally attacked it twice while it had 220 damage, dealt 120 damage to it each time, and it stayed at 220. The Equipment it had didn't seem to mention anything about preventing damage, and neither did the Stadium. I'm trying to figure out what I missed...

[@littlehackerzdr]

Yo!! LDF!!! This is literally a fire 🔥 deck!! Anyhow, I’ve been following u since 2 years and saw the channel grown. Although I don’t play PTCGO but seeing PTCGL that is heading the correct development path, I decided to finally start playing Pokémon back after almost 15 years. Thanks man for always making fun content deck profile. Ur video is always pleasing to watch.

[@OSDrxpp]

i actually settled for a 2-2 varoom revavroom instead of bibarel because of it is able to discard an energy to make the magma basin armouruge combo better

[@blazikenblasttcg7014]

How do you feel about a 1/1 line or 2/2 line of the ninetales that reduces retreat of pokemon with fire energy attached by 2? My list has it and its been pretty fun since you can just move the energy back

[@TowanTalks]

Been doing an Armarouge - Hooh combo deck atm. With torkoal as the attacker and pogo zard to amp it up. You can potentially turn 2 swing with 12 flips on torkoal, 2 energy from attach 4 from hooh and doubled by zard. Managed a 10 heads attack for 800.

[@SeniorNano]

I’ve been running this with entei and delphox

[@LittleDarkFury]

Entei means you can only use one arcanine

[@brandon_s]

I wonder if I can work Heat Boost Rapidash into this build...

[@aldinviray2970]

What I find weird is that Radiant Greninja plays better with this deck than Radiant Charizard. With the energy discard and draws

[@ARDIZsq]

Honestly between this deck and the Wugtrio meme deck, (which I played a bit online) I think I prefer having the Skowvet/Bibarel engine. Being able to put key resources back into the deck instead of the discard is huge, since you’ll be able to save things like Boss for later instead of having to dump it an hope you don’t need it. Yeah, it takes another bench spot, but sometimes you have a Bibarel and a Bidoof, so replacing the Bidoof on bench isn’t a huge deal. It’s pretty nice for more consistency in my opinion, which this deck seems to be needing just a bit more of.

[@Aimnoos]

I use the revavroom engine since It kinda mixes well

[@pokeregidrago]

I never really found a good build with arcanine. I kinda wanted a more of a tank and hit hard deck, but this deck is very consistent!

[@overweightactor]

Woah the radiant foil pattern is intense on ptcgl.

[@Big-Lasagna]

How viable do you think this deck is? This is a really solid blueprint for what I wanna do when Skeledirge ex comes out. I'm just not sure that this deck can hang with lost box, tina, etc.

[@TCG_HERO]

Is this deck still playable in current format?

[@RubenOliveira14]

Why not attach energy to moltres with stadium and do dmg 2nd turn of game? some1 can explain why?

[@Yunyopern]

Have you seen the Koraidon hisuian Arcanine deck? I hope it gets more support, because Miraidon Regilecky is miles in front of it.

[@kkrroozz]

Great Deck!! When are you making a video of post rotation regis???

[@SonBlazer]

I’m still new so I apologize for my ignorance but what’s the point of having the manaphy in this deck?

[@DisplayName317]

Manaphy has the ability Wave Veil, which prevents opponents from damaging Pokemon on your bench. Sometimes decks will go after the bench instead of the active Pokemon to A) pick up easy prize cards or B) disrupt your strategy by knocking out weaker Pokemon whose abilities you're using to support your deck or who need to evolve in order to reach their full utility. In this deck, Manaphy protects Growlithe so that it can get up to Arcanine EX (main attacker), Charcadet so it can get to Armarouge (ability to transfer energy), and Bidoof so it can get to Bibarel (ability to draw cards). Attacking the bench is one of the simplest ways to completely ruin someone's strategy, so Wave Veil Manaphy is a common utility Pokemon on many decks.

[@yayo9123]

Everytime I see an Arceus deck they start with a DTE an the V in their hand. Is insane. Great video LDF!

[@prestoneschenbach1762]

Have you tried Turbo Darkrai w/Vikaroom, Rad. Greninja as well? It’s quite fun! I thought about adding another attacker but not sure. If you wanna check out my deck list and give pointers!?

[@LittleDarkFury]

Soon 👀

[@chomper2005]

I love arcanine hype to try it.

[@kite8926]

Definitely looking to build this deck since it looks pretty interesting and fun deck to play

[@Metzgermeister]

I tried this card out on expanded with welder & results were mixed but I'll give it another shot. As always keep the awesome content coming.

[@corymclark]

Is there anything from the Scarlet & Violet set like the old Typhlosion or Gyarados or Sandaconda attacks?

[@hectorhernandez7472]

Yea because there has only ever been one version of those Pokémon we will know what you are talking about

[@corymclark]

@@hectorhernandez7472 breakthrough typhlosion. Team up gyarados. Battle styles sandaconda

[@hectorhernandez7472]

@@corymclark brilliant stars infernape. I used to run it and it was fun. Not sure it can hold its own now that evolution incense is gone. Not too sure S&V added much to help it other than maybe that one fire knight guy that moves fire energy from bench to active

[@DJxJoon]

“Arcanine is just sitting here sponging hits like Spongebob” - LDF 2023 😂😂 best thing i’ve heard all day LOL loved this video brother. most builds I see are playing the pokémon go charizard but I like this build better. can’t wait to see what other decks you come up with for S&V!

[@LittleDarkFury]

😂

[@HappytimeHarrEy]

Why is the quality not able to be changed?

[@LittleDarkFury]

It should be able to

[@realeneon9934]

I think that with the pokemon go charizard it improves because you can use the 250 attack and you only spend one energy, which allows you more damage and applies to all fire types

[@ARattyBestFriend]

Playing stage two Pokemon is super inconsistent and takes up so much more space.

[@DizzyNoSkills]

Damn it ldf, i was about to sleep. Legend.

[@spicy9963]

You could do this deck with burn brightly charizard

[@glenseaman5057]

The problem with deck is that it seems like just a different version of hisuian zoroark vstar which hits bigger numbers and is super consistent. I do love arcanine though

[@Run2127]

How do people get all of those purple gems and the rainbow crystal things. lol

[@Mimikyu701]

One of the best water Pokémon in the meta I can think of is Cramorant lol😂

[@ftb5786]

Doesn't hit for weakness

[@ValariaxSword]

I’m new to PTCG but why wouldn’t almost every deck run a Biberal for its ability? It seems really strong with almost no drawbacks.

[@rainbowunicode8352]

You don't run it in a deck if you frequently have 5 or more cards in hand, since then it does nothing. Trade decks generally get big hand sizes and with 2 kirlia you're getting as much or more than what you typically draw with bib.

[@TheForeverRanger]

You really need Skwovet in the deck. If you had it you wouldn't have had to pitch the Charizard.

[@AshutosJain]

Real strong fire doggo.

[@MegaArvydeo]

[@indigenoustruthx4828]

Bought this deck. I miss the game. Sad they got rid of PTCGO. Back to playing and collecting. 😌

Can you do a video based around Kingambit’s ability Leadership? I think it could be pretty broken 😁

[@Preppygirlforlife103]

Awesome video

[@cheeze1t256]

Why is it that I can't put any full art or secret rare cards in my decks. Is there something I have to do in game to let me put them in a deck

[@chimpchange_]

in your deck manager under every card there’s a white drop-down tab that you click where it says amount owned that shows all the different variants of that card (holos, full arts, alt arts, trainer gallery)

[@dannylongfellow]

When looking at a card, there is a drop down that lets you scroll between the different arts/rarities for a card. So, for example, if you want to put in a full art Professor's Research, you would go to Research, hit the down arrow, and scroll down to the end where the full arts are.

Every card that increased hp was rotated.😢 Heat energy and big charm would be great on this card.

[@Hawaiiangr0wn1993]

Is that how Arcanine is pronounced? Never heard of that before.

[@astralwyrm3787]

R - K - Nine. Technically that is correct for how canine is pronounced. Though when I looked at clips of the anime the trainers pronounce it as R - Kah - Nine. /shrugs

Blaming TCG Live for giving you bad luck when you ignored the Ultra Ball off of Kindler and then set yourself to 4 cards was a funny sequence of events. I think you almost have to go for the ultra ball there since evolution incense is no longer played.
