[@PokeSharkYT]

I have never actually brought Miraidon to a tournament because I always thought it was gonna fall off. never did. If I had the cards I'd def bring it to a few tournaments!

[@SneakerTalkTCG]

ahaha been rocking with it for almost a year now and I don't think it will ever fall off! Might honestly become more and more popular as time goes buy especially with rotation next spring!

[@rodumpalumpa22]

But doesn't Miraidon loose Flaafy with the rotation?

[@Argosh]

​@@rodumpalumpa22that. Although it's not crippling it will require some new form of energy support.

[@notvili3000]

even after rotation@@SneakerTalkTCG

[@airoun]

I’m trying to complete my first deck IRL, and while it might not be the deck I use all the additional cards are going to be insanely helpful to help me start playing. Thanks man! Keep up the great work

[@PokeMissJCC]

Thank you for this presentation. I'm just starting the TCG and this deck really tempts me!

[@therealaY]

Thanks for the in-depth review, man! I always enjoy your videos! Keep going and I wish you luck on your road to worlds!

[@babyalexander]

Just started playing IRL, and I love it! Meeting new people, and being surprised at the number of Pokémon fans in my area. The only thing I don't have is a great deck - ive been using the melmetal v deck and losing nearly every game so im looking for something that would take me to victory! Good luck on that worlds invite!

[@mikeylikesit013]

I would definitely start with the miraidon ex deck as my new deck for this rotation, absolutely loved your review as well.

[@brandon_erdman]

I haven’t really paid any attention to Pokemon since 2001. In July I started collecting again with my two sons after they started showing some interest. One of the things I wanted to do differently as an adult was to learn how to actually play the game. We started with a couple different build and battle boxes which were fun and were easier for my younger kids to learn with. I just bought a couple league battle decks to try out starting with Ice Rider Calyrex, Shadow Rider Calyrex, Origin Forme Palkia, and Mew. We had a lot of the fun playing and learning those decks. I just picked up a few more to try out, this Miraidon deck and two Urshifu Rapid Strike/Single strike decks. Can’t wait to try out the Miraidon and maybe pick up some of the cards that could make it even better. Awesome video, thanks for sharing.

[@mglpd]

I started playing pokemon this year and watching your videos where you are explaining decks and pokemon tcg stuff in general (thanks for that). I just want to try miraidon deck and enjoy it (:

[@chrispaynetattoos]

Getting back into pokemon now because of some friends and my kid showing interest in it as well. Been playing on pokemon tcg live to learn play styles of different decks and really interested in the miraidon playstyle. Never got into playing competitively but definitely looking into doing more playing this time around instead of just collecting. Been learning a ton from your channel and been enjoying the tournament vlogs too. Always looking for notifications on the new videos

[@paulxanderjaranilla1993]

I'd start with miraidon as my new deck for next rotation. I like your videos a lot, they are very helpful especially when I study the meta. Thank you so much 👍

[@spiritskyes]

Actually just bought my first League Battle Deck the other day with Origin Forme Palkia VStar. I've never really played the TCG before, but I'm looking forward to giving it a whirl with each of these decks! (Also, Ghetsis, depicted on Boss's Orders here, is from Black & White for the DS!)

[@MrFenix1234l]

Toronto player here as well!!! I'm definitely going to build a Miraidon deck with this, I have super indecisive if I was going to build a Garde, Moon or Miraidon deck but with this coming out I have defeinitely decided into building a Miraidon deck

[@telmopereira3423]

I'm going either to give it to my friend that is starting to play, or build up the deck myself so i can enjoy some new deck experience, as it seems pretty fun to play! Keep up the content!

[@andrewjim00]

Going to add the parts to my Miraidon deck!! Been having fun with this deck on live and want to keep playing competitive local!

[@JMazing24]

Just started getting into Pokémon TCG. Miraidon looks pretty good. Looking for a deck to start off with. Thanks for the tips!

[@andrewmontgomery6706]

Love you’re reviews. Would use it to play tag with my little guy!

[@AdamLB2006]

Next year im wanting to start getting into competing at regionals and internationals and while i dont know if im going to be competing in vgc or tcg yet, if i were to compete in tcg Miraidon would be one of, if not my main deck to compete with so if i got the deck, i would build on and use it for that. Great content btw! I haven't been as into the tcg for a few years now but your regionals and international vlogs have motivated me quite a bit to get back in to it again and compete so thanks for that!👍

[@lelan8085]

New to the TCG, old time collector and I was looking up which decks to play and Maridon looks fun. I heard that Worlds will be held in my home state next year, so I thought to tryout my local league. Thank you for the video.

[@tylerhoose3750]

My daughter is interested in learning pokemon. I don't know much but after searching a bit I keep coming across this deck. Thanks for the info.

[@emilianoperez4022]

Ive started to get into Pokémon once again. I loved it when I was little but I’ve never had anyone to play with. But now I have a friend which he plays Pokémon and I want to buy a good deck since the deck I had is not good. Your videos have helped me understand all the new things and I am very great full for that.

[@karimwilson6199]

My son and I just bought this deck box, he’s six. He’s been collecting cards but never made a deck, we went to our first game night at the local shop here in Edmonton and decided we would try this. Hoping out of all the Etbs and other card packs we have opened we will be able to put together a nice deck. Thank you for the over view of the deck, looking forward to your video on your deck version of this!

[@metaslavehs3297]

just got into pokemon tcg and am loving it! been messing around with tcg online decks but would love to have a physical competitive deck. :)

[@swendamstra7274]

I just started collecting pokemon cards. I got a trainer box this week and would like to collect more cards and play actually pokemon tcg irl. Hopefully I can convince my friends to also play this with who I am already playing different board/cardgames. So I hope I can be the very best like no one ever was🙌🏼

[@dudeicantdrinkmilk]

I am going to start playing Miraidon deck! I just discovered playing the card game and it's so much fun!!! Addicted to trading card game online!

[@superspyke1]

the bad guy on Boss's Orders isn't a Scarlet or Violet character, thats the boss of Team Plasma from Black and White

[@thskater1]

I shed a tear while watching that 😢😂

[@nitro5247]

God how I wish Ghetsis came back 🥲

[@michaelw4787]

I would be using the deck to beef up my ampharos deck and to play online with Great content, keep it up.

[@shory1204]

Nice deck. Would be a great deck to learn to play with

[@innerDreamGaming]

My sons been looking to get into starting some battles and been trying to find him a good deck. Saw this one earlier at Walmart but didn't know if it would be somewhat competitive for a beginner so really appreciate this video! If we won this it'd be his first ever deck! Either way it looks like this is definitely a good pickup for him.

[@adamkrysowaty9995]

I've really been thinking about building a miraidon deck gonna have to go get one of these soon

[@johnpeters217]

This would be my first deck but I plan on using it to play with my buddies at work and get them excited to play some more I’ve been so eager to get a deck and this one seems perfect 🎉

[@319mister]

Im getting into pokemon now, used to play yugioh but 151 set brought me back to collecting and now very intrigued to play the pokemon tcg! Lots of people recommended miraidon to start so this would be my first

[@Carneiro1422]

I have started playing PokemonTCG this year and Miraidon ex was the first one I started building as Zapdos is my favorite pokemon together with Mew and tried to somehow optimize the deck for it. Still missing 3rd Miraidon though and few cards you mentioned in the video as Forest Seal stone and would love to include Regieleki VMAX. Thanks for videos and hope on getting confident enough with my deck to play against you someday IRL !

[@jnunez1495]

I already play a maraidon deck my cousin is starting to get into the pokemon TCG and this deck would be so great for him start playing and learning the deck

[@rodumpalumpa22]

I have been playing Miraidon ex for five tpurnaments so far, 2 2nd places, 2 1st places and one 6th place. Really happy with how it performs, trying different versions seen in different major events

[@nicks.9741]

I would love this deck. Love to learn playing it.

[@jessr1698]

You’ve convinced me. I’m playing the Miraidon ex deck.

[@omurice2447]

I've been playing Mew VMAX for the past while now, and I am slowly losing doubt in it, and getting this deck would be the perfect starting point for a new deck for m to play!

[@gemswizard88]

Going to start learning how to play this deck

[@Simpmaster_Zero]

I’ve been meaning to build a miraidon deck so this is perfect

[@tylertheriot8922]

I just got back onto Pokémon and downloaded Pokémon live. I tried pretty much all the decks but really enjoyed the lighting one. I was going to buy this deck literally just for the code but I’d be very interested in your next vid of showing us how to play it with some upgrades. I’m glade they still give the code out. My main concern about playing this new Pokemon game was the codes you get from the packs/ decks to play online. This would be my first deck in over 15 years and it would actually be competitive just as is with like 6 replacement cards

[@jayceeshay1307]

I love these deck unboxings. If i do win this it will be my first deck that is not online. If i enter a tournament i will be using this deck. Plus i love miradon because of pokemon violet, so op in the meta.

[@jeman3rd]

You really make me wanna try the Miraidon Ex deck. 😅

[@Timj94]

Perfect for start playing with my sister and go further 🙏

[@miguelburst8897]

Miraidon is a deck I’ve been wanting to play. I like to make unique decks so I’d pick apart the deck and make it more interesting 🤩

[@GenGrey20]

I would love to have an awesome deck like this. I would use it to play my other level 3 decks here at home.

[@SeanS20201]

My brother and I love to play Pokémon at our LGS and it would be a blast to have another deck to play with.

[@dramsey68]

Only been playing a couple weeks. My first deck was a level one Gardevoir V. I'm ready to try something new!😀

[@frankalejandro3344]

it would be my first official deck that playable at hobby store or tournaments be excited to get it and try it out

[@notsoon8867]

Would definitely be displaying the cards from the deck. I've gotten into the pokemon tcgl and been using regieleki/miraidon deck when playing too lol been trying to use different variations of it to see what works best with me. 😊

[@naughtynyte3086]

In addition to my other comment on your sub post about this vid, my friend beat me in our first duel and gave me one of his miraidon cards (I immediately used it against him in the next round) I found my old cards from childhood and I've had pokemania since 🥺 im just getting into playing it tcg wise and man its fun, fueling me with some nostalgia and tcg dopamine.

[@0942erich]

Been wanting to pilot this deck for a couple months now. The first deck i built was a mew vmax and ive had alot of fun with it but when i saw that my favorite first gen was the big swinging hitter i was like yehhhhh boyyyy!!

[@dylantyler8656]

Been collecting pokemon for about 6 months now and a couple months ago i decided to start playing been getting really into it would love to do a local comp at a shop with this deck!

[@gavfishergav-lar3088]

Wanna give this one a try with my sons! They got the academy game for Christmas and are hooked!

[@fludgeyyam8115]

I have been a chien-pao player since paldea evolved, but with this league battle deck releasing, it has motivated me to think about giving miraidon ex a try!

[@xebla256]

I bought this battle deck last week, and I have to say, it improved my game a lot! I made a few adjustments by adding a Raikou V, who became an attacker for me.

[@CobraOrochi]

Took me a while but I absolutely love Miriadon now after testing out the deck

[@flamingbaby247]

I've played many card games like Magic or Hearthstone, but thanks to you and your youtube channel, I have found pokemon tcg to be really accessible, in particular because of these in person deck break downs and your natural charm. So thank you. I've been on the hunt for a deck to play and I think miraidon suits me and my personality really well. Getting those explosive board set ups. Thanks for all that you are doing, the content you make is really unique in the pokemon tcg world.

[@SneakerTalkTCG]

Ayyy thank you very much for your kind words, for watching and for your support! :) It means a lot to me! Yeah Miraidon can really pop off and right now is a great time to be using it especially if you thrown in a copy of Iron Hands ex it fixes what was it's more difficult matchups and turn them into favorable ones too! Trying my best to be a great resource for new and experienced players or just ppl who wanna sit back and enjoy some tournament vlogs here and there!

[@flamingbaby247]

@@SneakerTalkTCG def nailing it bro

[@mandy1339]

Great video. I'm looking to get this deck box in the future. Already got the Palkia level 3 trainer one for my mom. I'll destroy her once I have this deck.

[@hildalaw7627]

ok imma buy it will be myf first deck I'm getting back into this since 2019(but I didn't play the game since I didn't have enough stuff)

[@easymoneysha]

Got mine! Had to pick up!

[@kevinhisel6427]

Not sure if the giveaway has already ended because I didn’t hear a deadline, but this deck would become my kid’s first legitimate deck. She’ll wipe the floor with our crummy home decks. 😂 Great video. Good information!

[@JazzKing-Smith]

If I received this deck, I think you would’ve already persuaded me to change decks! Would love to slowly edit it and bring it to my first league challenge.

[@beppelantz8169]

i just got back to the tcg after a couple years off and recently moved to a new city, so im planning on taking the deck to the small local league and upgrade it by trading and getting to know the local players!

[@josephrojas9097]

I’ve been working on my own Miraidon deck and have been missing a lot of the cards from this deck I’d like. Probably would take a few cards from this deck to improve my own :)

[@dashingsquid3725]

I am pretty new to the pokemon card game. I have been a magic the gathering player for many years and my girlfriend loves pokemon so we both decided to learn the card game and it is really fun! 😊 we made some decks with just random cards, but i have been playing a miriadon deck online for a while, adding and crafting cards when i can. I will add the mareeps and an iron hands. I have been trying out a radient greninja in the deck i play online to discard to excess energy i draw so maybe one of them if i can get my hands on one. Great video!

[@spenny880]

Hey! I kind of want to get into the TCG! I would love to learn with this deck! Thanks!

[@SneakerTalkTCG]

Cool cool! :) good luck!

[@ivebenwong]

I've actually never been to a local pokemon tcg tournament.. I've played some games online, but I'm not very good at it, though. I just recently found out there's a card shop in my area that does do tournaments. Would love to attend one one day and learn how to play properly. 😊

[@TeamWildCardsPT]

If I ever get this deck it will be my second deck in pokemon, which I was always wanted to try!!!

[@ShawnOnSea]

Id definitely try this deck at my local tournament, probably tweak it a little

[@JohnSmith-bp5jq]

W vid as usual, are you going to the cup at 401 games tommorow?

[@sunnyly1050]

Online Miraidon has always been in my rotation but i never had the cards to play at league or challenges, would definitely play this irl.

[@enderxgaming1227]

it will be put towards my second competitive deck besides my buget lost box as normally i play rougue decks like regis and stuff but hoping i can create alot more meta decks than just lost box rn as its very competatvive also miraidon is sick absolute love it

[@darwinrubio8848]

Been trying a version of Miraidon on PTCGL, and want to go to my first local event soon. Would definitely want to take a Miraidon deck to that

[@gabysebahie7360]

Just bought this! Loving it so far.

[@SneakerTalkTCG]

Ayyyy nice nice!

[@kidcaspertv2698]

just got a new job and have been wanting to get back into Pokemon now for ages, but been broke as fuck for over a year now, gonna treat myself this weekend when I get paid and build miraidon, thanks for the vid man! been playing Pokemon TCG since 2007 but stopped in around 2014 to focus on Cardfight vanguard, cant wait to get back into it

[@Swarmhammer]

I think ill be playing Miraidon soon😁😜

[@tw0waystreet]

Im gonna compete at my next league challenge/cup using this exact deck and see how well I can do with it!

[@HazeCeeza]

if i get this deck i would get 2 raikou v and 2 raichu v with two iron hands with two future booster capsules one squawkabilly ex i would also use mareep and flaffy zapdos pokemon go version :D love the video keep up the great work!

[@westwizard89]

Great video and thank you for explaining a lot of different details. I had a question about when you mentioned you are half way to your invite for the Pokemon Championship. I have never played but I saw online it mentioned 2024 rotation starts in April. Does thay reset everyone's points? What is the time frame to play to earn points to make it to the championship?

[@FyreMonkey12]

After my 2nd Prerelease Tournament I feel like I want to go more into the competitive scene. I have been thinking of trying to play Miriadon. I kind of understand how the deck works😅. The dice also looks really good. If I were to get the deck I would probably try try to upgrade the deck too, like adding flaffy and Raikou V and maybe even my Iron hands ex. ❤❤❤

[@BasedMan-hj2hy]

Im brand new to the pokemon tcg, i had friends who collected the cards as a kid, but im interested in getting into the game. I heard that theres a local tournament every saturday in my city so if i got this deck i would try it out there.

[@nathanielmetzinger8426]

When I was getting back into pokemon I was able to pull the Art rare of Miraidon and see this deck now I think want to give it a test drive

[@SimplySendoa]

I would definitely play with this deck because I love Miraidon!

[@jackhudson9507]

I bought the Origin Forme Palkia Vstar deck on special and I've been hoping to add some more cards to it and go to locals, I'm missing only a couple cards to finish my deck. I've been using the Miraidon ex deck since the start on TCG Live, and I've found it to be really fun so it would be really nice to be able to play it in person too.

[@js_a92]

Middle school teacher here in the GTA! Want to start a Pokémon TCG lunchtime club. I only started playing myself this summer, so I don’t have a lot of bulk for kids to use. Miraidon ex League Battle Deck will be a great deck to have for the club!

[@sneakysneakyninja08]

I’m going to pick this up as a base to build a competitive deck. Been wanting to get into the tournament scene after 151 got me back into the hobby with my kids.

[@JustUniversa]

As someone that has been playing competitive for a long time I totally recommend getting into it

[@justinas1237]

might have to try out miraidon with the hands, if I get this deck.

[@noseylowis6857]

I am near a little game store starting tournaments and I always lose to the chien pao, if I win this then I would try to beat the deck, it has been on my wish list for ages. I would as iron hands to this deck. If I win I would be super exited, thank you for making all of ur content.

[@noseylowis6857]

I also commented on X under the tweet where u said, “thinking abt playing the Pokémon tcg”

[@leomonisaac3025]

Wanted to start competing but I don’t know which deck to build. So winning this will definitely help me start my Pokémon TCG journey.

I buy and sell shipment containers as a side hustle from my full-time job and got 12 of these decks in a box, fully packaged but no one is buying them lol. I came here to find out more about them, cool video! May sell the contents instead.

Ayyy very cool! Yeah I’d just take out the Seal stones, VMAX and v Pokémon and ex and sell those to save time/shipping cost too
