I like how you calapsed stadium to get rid of the liability 16:39 great play. The deck has just enough of what you need!

[@duongthu4737]

oh man, your laughing is really something :)))) everytime I hear you laugh I would think: that's it, the opponent is done for :))))

[@KleverQuesada]

Imagine getting impatient when you’re playing freaking Lost Box LMAO

[@TrickyGym]

LOL true

[@Neowarshark]

i recently got back into ptcgo well i guess it ptcgl now started watching your videos again you the best ptcg channel out there!

[@andrewp6738]

[lugia VSTAR voice] we’re so back

[@ResidentKlinton]

This day, the one who can make all the difference is you

[@airj5075]

The 8 bit sound

[@MichaelHeredia]

Welp… I was already doing some research on what Lugia deck to build, then you put this out. I’m thinking it’s a done deal! Especially after I’ve been climbing the ladder with your Magnezone EX build, so I have nothing but trust in your recs my guy!

[@MichaelHeredia]

Welp… coming back to this comment after 45 minutes of that Magnezone deck totally bricking on the initial draws. I’ve been absolutely obliterated with having to throw a poor Skwov or Mag in with zero hope of winning 🫠🫠🫠

[@calebnelson4932]

​@@MichaelHeredia the duality of deck building

[@MichaelHeredia]

@@calebnelson4932 I’m learning that the hard way haha. After 20 years of being out of the Pokémon TCG world I just recently got back into it and am hooked. But I have a lot to learn and catch up on haha

[@Boonatix]

@@MichaelHeredia Lugia can brick hard as well as you can see in the first game here ^-^

[@MichaelHeredia]

@@Boonatix true that haha.

[@MazterP28]

The power of one. Continues to be the best

[@yoshilicks2496]

I've been playing this deck for a while and the first clip was hilarious and relatable since this deck just loves giving out bad hands in the beginning! 😂

[@VIVIDTCG]

😅 same

[@VIVIDTCG]

I play through when I'm on the 🪜 but when it bricks it 🧱🧱🧱 lol

[@VIVIDTCG]

I win most when I start with two Lugia in play 🤷

[@cheesewitz4628]

I LOVE LUGIA!!!!

[@Playmatscards]

I haven't played Pokemon since Fossil released. I picked a random deck to try on Pokemon Live. This walkthrough has helped me so much! I always liked big chonky critters.

[@TheEPSD]

My list is very similar, but I fit a Cheren's Care in there which has been insanely helpful. This deck list is super tight and consistent.

[@Serphion]

These are bold Adaman-slanderous comments, coming from someone whose first video I watched was a Radiant Steelix deck packing 4 of them ;) Jokes aside, your content has high quality. Good stuff. Signed: Someone who got his interest in pkmtcg back recently after a hiatus since wotc-gen 1 days.

[@parallax5395]

I was hoping this would have updated content. Nothing about the new Single Strike vs. Therapeutic Snorlax build?

[@aserel2]

16:40 That Collapsed Stadium was disgusting 😂

[@mak_707]

It's funny how some people think that Archeops deserves the ban while it's definitely Lugi's Vstar power that is breaking everything.

[@heavyarms55]

Hey, at least PTCGL actually works for you. When they updated the client for the release of SV, the client broke on PC for me. Game won't even get to the login screen. Pokemon support was worthless. All they said was "we know, watch our social media for updates" and it's almost time for Paldea evolved - missed the whole SV format - still doesn't work. I can play on mobile if I want a migraine though... 8 core ryzen processor, 8gb vram Nvidia graphics, 32gb ddr4 ram dual channel 16gb sticks... I can play almost any game at high settings in 1080p and many games in 4k. Our home internet can handle 4 smart TVs 3 computers and 3 game consoles simultaneously using the internet with no visible performance drop. PTCGL can't even login.

[@_shadow_8]

Surely I'm late to this, but the note that you made about Tyranitar V discarding the opponents cards is incorrect. It discards from your (the owner of tyranitar V) deck.

[@TrickyGym]

The first attack discards the opponents cards

[@williewoo.]

Ive been playing your magnezone ex deck at my lgs and THRASHING everyone playing lugia lol

[@acidrien]

One of the best things about single strike energy is ( I believe ) the fact that it adds 20 dmg BEFORE weakness! That means you can one shot a mew vmax with 4 single strike energy and a choice belt using cragalamche on tyranitar

[@fireky3]

I really like how he says adaman isnt consistent enough then proceeds to flip coins like hes a shady character in a black and white movie

[@MazterP28]

When the beat drops. The lugia meme

[@Boonatix]

Will the deck remain mostly the same for the next expansion... ? Because I am thinking of investing in getting some cards to play it at my LCS, really enjoy Lugia... even though I have the feeling it can brick really hard more often than I like to admit -.-

[@acidrien]

Until the next rotation logia is still going the great. It might even get better! Might drop out of tier one but will still remain toptier

[@ftb5786]

There's a different build that focuses on Snorlax, but this one will most likely still be better

[@MisterStubstep]

Still just feels less consistent which makes me happy

[@x5xruud]

I wouldn't play a deck that relies so much on coin flips.

[@javaheat4008]

Miss the time when u play funny deck

[@OniArticx]

When does it rotate

[@andreavasquez4355]

Wouldn't Jacq be better to play than Capturing Aroma? I know Jacq takes up your supporter slot for the turn, but it ensures to evolution Pokemon, which means you could grab two Archeops and discard them to search for Lugia VSTAR with an Ultra Ball.

[@vico7461]

In that case play an extra Burnette

[@andreavasquez4355]

@@vico7461 That's also a good point. I think Jacq would be good for getting Lugia VSTAR, though.

[@justsomeguy.8670]

I bought this full deck on Amazon for about 150$

[@thijs967]

Why do you use the yveltal? It feels too weak to me

[@Kabuster]

31:49 he said Luigi

[@takenname8053]

Super Nice

[@SandraThePhox]

I find it really scary how similar this is to the list I've been playing. Like just a few personal preference tweaks wow. I lean more into my Single Strike mons with impact energy and a 2-2 line of Urshifu. I am however going to add collapsed stadium immediately into my list.

[@themotocrosslounge8697]

i have a bunch of miraidon players at my locals would you recommend i run a 2-2 of urishifu as well?

[@SandraThePhox]

@themotocrosslounge8697 Yeah it would help out. You can ohko with the first attack on the Vmax or just use the V

[@themotocrosslounge8697]

@@SandraThePhox thank you for your response. I primarily play miraidon but no one at my locals plays lugia so i wanna bring something different to the table

[@daviebroy9174]

That Dialga decks needs a Bronzong in it..

[@FootLongHamSub]

I always think that playing against them. It's a ridiculous ability that people aren't utilizing

[@katana4425]

this deck can defeat Charizard ex Tera deck ?

[@A_ESPEON]

maybe maybe not I haven't seen the deck you're talking about

[@Wixhain]

Yayaya

[@khalilmhirsi9876]

We want more IRL content ! I literally check whether the bulk of the video is going to be PTCGL before watching it, that interface is really killing the vibe of the cards. Honestly even shadow boxing on the kitchen table is more fun when you did that :c

[@TrickyGym]

I’m producing as much irl content as I can! More soon

[@khalilmhirsi9876]

@@TrickyGym I sure do know, and thank you very much for that! I was just voicing my personal liking towards real shiny cardboard gameplay, so much so that I cannot enjoy the virtual gameplay anymore

Best way to play lugia vstar... Dont

[@BasedTCG]

Adventure’s Discover finds 3 Vs at a time, no reason to play so many coin flips

[@ultraxatu3027]

How will you get archeops with that?

[@BasedTCG]

@@ultraxatu3027 you don’t, that’s just for finding Lugia, urshifu, Tyranitar, and lumunion. Professor Burnett is for finding and discarding archeops.

[@ultraxatu3027]

@@BasedTCG yeah but that's a waste of a supporter. I would rather use burnet and coin flips to get everything in one turn.
