Completely agree with you on red card I had a battle the night before using the alakazam and granija deck you posted awhile back and we were both bricked and both one point from winning, they were set to win but then they red carded me giving me both my x speed and Sabrina which allowed me to put up my alikazam and Sabrina their mewtwo up and I’ve never seen a player concede so fast

This Pokémon deck looks good. Thanks Jeff for sharing it 😊

This has actually been my favorite non ex deck to play

First go with this deck was into a Mewtwo deck. Both Gardies online and they couldn’t keep up from weakness damage. So satisfying

2-0. Mewtwo deck and Pikachu…..Jeff cooks with this current card pool

@mattlepinski Ай бұрын

In the video, you talk about going first vs going second. Is it a consideration that Player 1 sees an extra card in most games? Or is that too small an advantage to matter?

@davidwidrick7398 Ай бұрын

What’s the downside to running 2 Muk instead of the the King line? More consistent to have Muk online but less reliable to have the poison to combo?

@HooglandiaPocket Ай бұрын

The raw hit on your own is much lower when weezing can't set you up. 70 VS 100.

@davidwidrick7398 Ай бұрын

@ agreed but wasn’t sure if the extra consistency of having Muk outweighed that to be closer to an even if that makes sense.

I was literally just trying a build similar to this (mix of different number of Gios, Sabrina, and no X Speed) and it was a tad slow. Here to see what I was doing wrong!

@areyanceJr Ай бұрын

the only thing I can think of from snap that I miss here is retreats taking too long and not being instant frame perfect retreats when Sabrina flips up would've been funny to see here as well

I have yet to have a red card used against me that didnt help me win. There's a reason i have 5 cards in my hand, I don't have anything, thanks for the free redraw

@Silky_Smooth91 Ай бұрын

I actually lost a couple of times to a well timed red card. I think it is most useful during the first turn of the game, but even then, it's not a guaranteed hit.

@mattmartin1919 Ай бұрын

Can you tell us more about why 5 basics should be the floor when building decks? Having 4 makes pokeballs more predictable, so what is the upside? My guess is fewer instances where pokeball fails to find, but idk for sure.

@HooglandiaPocket Ай бұрын

The upside to more basics is having a more dynamic game plan. Sure - your Pokeballs being more consistent means you hit you "best draw" slightly more often, but it also means the games where you have two Ralts as your only basics on Mewtwo happen more often too. Cards like Kanga let you deal damage and buy time for minimal invest so your average and slightly below average draws get more time to come together. It means you aren't all in one doing one thing and falling apart when that thing doesn't happen. The best deck in the format with the best performance by a wide margin is Pikachu EX in no small part because it is forced to play more basic Pokemon. We are also seeing Mewtwo lists start to adapt to playing Five and Six basic Pokemon more often in tournament lists as well which I'll cover in this week's meta round up later today.

People conflating card commonality with quality probably says a lot about our society, but I'm too tired to understand why.

@charlesyoung601 Ай бұрын

I'm 15 and this is deep

@truechaosmulala3831 Ай бұрын

I mean not really there is the law of natural selection which states that the card being common means it’s a good card because if it wasn’t it would be replaced by something better not that deep

Hand Scope into Red Card is especially funny to me because they ALWAYS play the Red Card, no matter how bad your hand is. And of course they do, right? What, you're going to put a 2-card combo in your deck and NOT use it?

@Valter_David Ай бұрын

I feel like red card is only good with an oppening hand and you downsize your opponent's hand to slow them down, otherwise you might accidentally give them what they're looking for. It can also work well if you read your opponent's play and hand but that's sometimes easier said than done and then again they may just top deck the card they needed so it's situational at best.

@Erzz197 Ай бұрын

Hands are 5 cards to start, so if you red card on turn one going first and they've only played one pokemon, you're spending one card to remove one of their cards, so it's relatively even. You're "losing" a potion or sabrina or giovanni or whatever you cut to include red card, and they're losing something at random. And, most decks want more than one basic, like charizard wants both moltres and charmander, mewtwo wants both mewtwo and ralts. If they had both they typically would have played both when going second (to avoid red card or articuno cheese), so if they only played one, your red card is helping them find the other. If they've played two pokemon, you're just sending them from 3 to another 3, and if they played more than 2 like a pikachu deck, well now you're giving them cards.

@ydgmdlu Ай бұрын

Red card is not good with opening hands because it's not doing anything strategically disruptive. You don't know if your opponent's hand is likely to be good or bad, so you're literally just giving them a mulligan. The "slowing them down" argument faulty. If you want to actually disrupt your opponent with Red Card, you need to hold it until the point where they're likely to be holding a game-winning card (like an evolution or a Supporter) so hopefully they can't win the next turn.

@ginozem9569 Ай бұрын

Hey hoog really enjoy your videos. I've been trying to make a greninja zebstrika deck but just can't seem to get it to work consistently, too much variance when using more than 1 energy type. I thought about not worrying about water energy but i sometimes get caught wishing I had one water energy for greninja. I'd love if you could have a stab at it because the potential for assassinating benched pokemon is there

@HooglandiaPocket Ай бұрын

Not having a front line that survives a hit against Pika hurts

@pauloneill9647 Ай бұрын

Waiting on Red Card video lol, cus it is sorta sounding like it’s bad on random matches/the event but at least viable in tourney because the main format is open decklist

@robertwallace5498 Ай бұрын

this is similar to my favorite deck to play. It isnt good, but it is satisfying. I prefer to try and get the nidoqueen online as well, since it is like a game within the game. Again, not good, but when you get them both up it is pretty cool

@archiox0628 Ай бұрын

For the life of me i still cant pull a kangashkan. That's the only card I dont have for this featured deck. Used Farfetched for now. Edit: I agree with what was said about going first and second. We are afterall at a few months since release of this game. This is a TCG with tons of cards with even more combinations. If you compare it to something like Marvel snap, where meta absolutely changes with the release of one card, then man, when this game releases multiple decks worth of cards and combinations, this issue of first and second will look trivial as meta that prefers going first become common. Come on guys, we are practically at the infancy of this game. A lot of stuff is yet to come

Is this more reliable than Weezing and Alakazam? I don’t see it doing as much damage, looking to see what the advantage would be of this set up.

@TheBinturong_3791 Ай бұрын

Alakazam with Weezing is slightly less consistent at actually attacking since you should be playing Psychic and Dark energy, and it's better into big pokemon that will have a lot of energy whereas Nidoking more consistently attacks because you only play Dark energy and is slightly better into pokemon against Pokemon with over 90 hp and only require 1 energy, for example, Exeggutor

@LosCasero Ай бұрын

@@TheBinturong_3791 even with only 1 energy, alakazam does 90 damage.

@TheBinturong_3791 Ай бұрын

@@LosCasero I am aware of that, what's your point?

@flipninja55 Ай бұрын

IMO it depends on your meta. But either way single energy is more reliable than two energy types, if that matters. Weezing/Alakazam in my experience can sometimes get weird with energy not showing up when you want/need it.

@kevinr.3107 Ай бұрын

My opinion about red card is that it's currently a very bad card in this meta. I feel like it's only punishing those who don't know how to play against. I can't count the numerous times where I was literally praying for my opponent to red card me cause my hand was terrible, and it happens and then I win the game thanks to the red card itself! I think most ppl don't even know the right timings to play red card, so it makes it even worse... I'm pretty sure most ppl putting red cards in their decks do it cause they follow internet decklists or just they've been red carded once and lost their game because of it and then they think this card is OP ^^
