Ceruledge Ex just needed Drilbur this whole time? | Pokemon TCG Live Surging Sparks Format Gameplay!

[@KimiMighty]

Nice bro.. wow. I don't even know the skill like Drilbur is exist... Thanks for the idea.

[@kaixpai]

I know bench space is prime real estate for this deck, but playing a radiant greninja would solve two problems you have: getting energy into the discard and draw power. Worth slotting him in seeing as hes a single prizer - so many of your comments are around keeping a 2 prizer like squak from being a liability.

[@1912TitanicSwimTeam]

If I had pinned comments unlocked, I'd pin this one! He just makes too much sense to not include!

[@kaixpai]

​@@1912TitanicSwimTeamI saw you mentioned in another comment asking if they would consider a one of Turo, I would consider it if you could also make space for pokegear. With your need to get to Supporters per turn, since you're playing Pokestop it combos very well. With both you can see up to 10 cards a turn.

[@1912TitanicSwimTeam]

Heck yeah! With all the support from the comment section, might have to rebuild and run it back!

[@esteveselijohn3545]

Thanks for this! Very helpful

[@1912TitanicSwimTeam]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ChefHusky]

Great build! I knew we'd find a use for drilbur one day!

[@samyule]

I think i'd suggest Carmine, Squakabilly EX and even brilliant blender for this, how are you dealing with Mimikyu's just Charcadet -20?

[@marcelguimaraes6752]

There is an Excadrill that has a single attack. Does 60 damage for a single metal energy. Hits Mimikyu for weakness. This deck could in theory run a metal and/or one rainbow special energy to fulfill the attack requirement. Brilliant Blender can discard a bunch of energy of a type you want, then you can, if needed, Night Stretcher the energy for the attack. Brilliant Blender could also dircard Drillburr for a pseudo-search, to be recovered by the stretcher and discard even more energy

[@1912TitanicSwimTeam]

Great ideas! I originally used Squakabilly, but I found that having a 2 prize liability on the bench took away from the strength of forcing your opponent to take big 2 prize KOs down the stretch. Brilliant blender feels good in theory, but I'm the games I used it in, without having arven to search the item, it felt less impactful than playing other ace specs. I think the excadrill is a great idea to deal with Mimikyu. Hadn't even considered the matchup!

[@marcelguimaraes6752]

@@samyule I am using this video's list as a base for a list I'm building. With all of these fighting energy, you could run the single prize Bloodmoon Ursaluna. It can easily beat Mimikyu if that's a problem and it is also a solid one-prize attacker. Lana's Aid could be very good with the previous Brilliant Blender strat I mentioned earlier, but instead of having that one weird Exacadrill, you can have the Bloody Ursa as a threat or even use Blender+Lana to combo multiple Drilbur into play. If people don't like Blender as the Ace Spec, I could see Secret Box being an amazing option here, as it both discards a bunch and helps with set-up. I'm personally going to experiment with Blender. Was thinking about these ideas and came back to share with you people

[@kaixpai]

​@@marcelguimaraes6752I love the idea of secret box. Very similar to ancient box - getting to pick a stadium, supporter, tool, AND item makes it almost a must. Since this deck likes to punch and draw through quickly - that's a good to ace spec.

[@sullentamp9140]

Nice build!

[@woffsmm]

I'd consider adding a gravity mountain for stage 2 matchups

[@1912TitanicSwimTeam]

That will definitely make them easier to KO. I also added a manaphy shortly after this video because of Dragapult and Radiant Greninja.

[@ghamer18]

​@@1912TitanicSwimTeamFYI Dragapult attack ignore Manaphy's ability

[@FerretTwister]

Throw in Radiant Greninja and this deck will be unstoppable

[@xXcontrol_playerXx]

I feel like a more turbo version with squak/brilliant blender could do well post rotation? Either way i really like the position ceruledge is in post rotation, hitting weakness on gholdengo, archuladon, ogerpon etc... and maybe drilbur is really the fix to this deck. Could be even nastier with a better pool of fighting secondary attackers or a new excadrill print

[@1912TitanicSwimTeam]

Thanks for the comment! The Squak definitely makes the deck faster, but it also makes an easy boss target for the late game. Maybe have to couple it with collapsed stadium? Professor turo maybe? Something to experiment with for sure!

[@woffsmm]

I expected someone to make this eventually

[@luisangel8147]

Cool deck
