Can I Win an IRL Tournament With Torterra???

[@pokemoncollector2676]

Great series! A big plus is you showing the pre-match and post-match live update. That live ending was the cherry on top where we got to see how you won the game. I think all those features should stay.

[@jeremyman2156]

Great video and good explanation to how it functions

[@Ahamkeira]

with all the informative and completive meta content having a "For fun" series like this spices up a lot! while keeping the other competitive content fresh i really loved this! if i chose a deck to play i think Koraidon + Hisuian Arcanine with the new Earthen Vessal + Sandy Shocks + Professor Sada's is really fun on the casual ladder!!!

[@CiaranTCG]

I've always wanted to make Hisuian Arcanine work. With the decline of Sableye maybe it has a chance now!

[@Cah00ts]

Loved this topic! Great to see some decks covered outside of the current meta.

[@Azkal_gubat]

Awesome series with a great, easy to follow breakdown! I'd love to see you spotlight an Alakazam Ex deck next 🥄🥄

[@CiaranTCG]

Would love to give that deck a go!

[@GreenMonkeySam]

I love this style of video! I can't wait for the next one in the series. For the early game, can I interest you in Venemoth to lock your opponent's Items?

[@CiaranTCG]

That could be a good way to slow them down while I set up!

[@RichardMaltz86]

This is such a fun idea for a series and congrats on Top 4. Always great to be reminded that the TCG is supposed to be fun

I've been playing around with Meowscarada, and I think I've figured out how to make it work. I simply play it like Chien-Pao, with 2-2 Bibarel, 4 PokeStop, and 4 Superior Retrieval. It works decently well, and I would recommend testing it a bit. I also really like the OBF Eelektross: it straight-up KOs manaphy, which could lead to a lot of mayhem, and with a vitality band, it can KO Ralts, Greninja, and Comfey, and with a hawlucha+vitality it can KO archeops and kirlia. With reversal+vitality it can even one-shot Lugia! I've been running it like ArvenZard, but I'm not sure if that's the right way to go about it. It's a really fun card to pull off, and I think you should play Eelektross next.

[@CiaranTCG]

That's awesome to hear you're having success with Meowscarada. I might have to give it a go!

[@WitherGaming465]

@@CiaranTCG I just thought of another great "bad" deck. It's Palkia/Gardevoir. You may have heard of it, but the idea is that you set up refinement/shining arcana to mill your deck while taking a couple of prizes with Palkia VSTAR and Greninja/Cologne/Cross Switcher plays, and then finishing the game with Kyogre. It's Lost Box Kyogre with less headache, but less versatility.

[@BluntScizors-qq3th]

Great video! Do you think the Beautifly line from Lost Origins could potentially replace Pidgeot ex and Bibarel? Positives: one prizer, slightly better draw than Bibarel, grass type for Grotle to search out. Negatives: no quick search for one of cards like Raihan or Boss, no free pivot.

[@CiaranTCG]

I think you need to keep Pidgeot since grabbing cards like raihan, boss, defiance band, and reversal energy is super important. I can see Beautifly being decent, but I'd be a bit concerned turn 2. A lot of games ill ultra ball my entire hand away to get pidgeot and then quick search for bibarel. It is worth trying though!

[@louis_wml]

Great deck, been wanting to make this work for ages but struggled to find a specific list I like so well played on top 4. Other suggestions could be things like Scizor (which is great into Miraidon and ChienPao) and other fun single prize based decks.

[@CiaranTCG]

Scizor is a great suggestion, I actually think it is semi-viable in my locals meta

[@justinjenkins4301]

I saw torterra and clicked ,I’ll dam near play this yo 👀👀🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@CiaranTCG]

Glad you are a fellow Torterra enjoyer!

[@pesbeginner3558]

You always win cuz ur the god

[@luckyboy_tcg]

Next bad deck or in the near future should be Tyranitar ex :) Also enjoyed the video, would like to see more of the bad decks do well😎💪

[@CiaranTCG]

I'm down to try it out! Do you recommend a specific list?

[@luckyboy_tcg]

You should do the seaking deck mahone posted the other day.

[@CiaranTCG]

I have no idea what seaking does, so it sounds perfect haha. I'll check it out

@@CiaranTCG Did you play it?

[@Snowpointcast]

Ayo guy brought Bad deck Monday back?? Lfg

[@CiaranTCG]

I used to love bad deck Monday growing up. Pooka beat me in one of his bad deck monday videos 10 or so years ago lol

[@Snowpointcast]

I remember trying to stream snipe him when he used to stream for the top cut lol, hit him a few times. The Top Cut was GOAT predecessor for us tbh insane channel

[@CiaranTCG]

The top cut walked so Pokemon content could run, Pooka is the GOAT for real!

[@ZrinkaZ]

Zoroark maybe?

[@CiaranTCG]

Once Jirachi comes out I think Zoroark will be a prime candidate!

[@ZrinkaZ]

:O gotta check that! I am very new in Pokemon TCG (46yo, started playing abot a year ago), still learning the ropes so I very very much appreciate your videos :D

[@kakered]
