[@seantaft3853]

Watch as Mahone spends all this time working other decks and goes to NAIC with Miraidon ex

[@chaddrusso8850]

Lol facts him and Azul always be doing that😂😂

[@superhoneybadger1997]

#TeamMiraidonBaby

[@cmhanft]

AzulGG disliked your comment.

[@Kamishuriken]

Watch Azul just bring stall Lax again…and after the tournament keep mentioning what an unfun deck it is so people get off his back 😂

[@erwinazurdia5726]

Yea miraidon for sure lol 😂

[@LittleDarkFury]

GGs! Can confirm this deck can set up checkmate scenarios with the amount of draw it’s got!

[@Jolted]

are you wanting to go first or second with this list? I assume second so you can arven + cleffa

[@Milequetoaster]

This really does feel like the only way to realistically play a stage 2 deck that isnt water type or Gardevior Specifically

[@andrewp6738]

“$3000 will do that to a man” LMAO

[@andrewp6738]

28:35

[@TylarFischer]

Roseanne's Backup opens up some cool idea's - A 1x Luminous over Neo Upper (which also opens up another ace spec [Scoop up seems cool here]) - Temple over Hammer

[@whistlz]

That Dragapult mirror was pure art on your end lol. 5d play with perfect math

[@gch310]

Returned after a 15 year hiatus and this my first deck from scratch after returning. Awesome list and playing! Thank you! I feel like this is a good deck to return with! Just a crazy fast beat down deck with nothing too complex for me to learn right after a long break but still competitive!

[@joshuasims5421]

This really is a great list, it feels like every card has a purpose. Awesome to see you play LDF too, would love to see more matches between TCG youtubers!

[@hecticcorpse8939]

Your videos have helped me out through so rough times and I thank you for that and I really enjoy the videos where you test a deck by playing against your friends I find it more entertaining than playing the Pokémon tcg online

[@cmhanft]

Feels like another version of Charizard ex but using Dragapult ex

[@Steelcitymon]

That's exactly what it is.

[@nickfanzo]

Uhhhhh 👀 😂

[@TickleTipson169]

general rule of thumb, i hit the flashing poke stop every time no matter what its how i control my gambling addiction (also thanks for the list i've been trying to cook something up forever with dragapult bc it always feels just shy of dominant and this was the push i needed to finally give up on the drakloak engine. glad to see someone else using mela bc its a card I've always played with and never see anywhere else)

[@ZaphodBeeblebrox-sy8ey]

Wow, that deck tech is quite in-depth.

[@tonyhippo8168]

Interesting list but what if you start with Zard and Prize Turo? Basically it's frostlass food?

[@TrickyGym]

There is Kieran

[@skinnypepper1553]

But what if you start Rad Zard and prize Turo and you ate spicy food beforehand and now you have a tummy ache and it’s a full moon so you’re opponent gets to always use Ursuluna for free. OH! and they’re playing the rouge Froslass deck so the Zard is a yummy lizard snack and you prized all your Dreepy….

[@skinnypepper1553]

@tonyhippo8168 just pokin’ fun. You walked into this….

[@qtAlexx_YT]

i play dragapult with banette ex to take out 6+ prizes in one turn after many turns, slowly whittling away my opponents will to play the game as they emote spam in disgust. But anything for ladder points

[@kaushikhegde8227]

Disgust emote or frustration?

[@Kamishuriken]

That's evil 😂

[@relevantrasslinplays9424]

Deck List? 🎉

[@lightwander1204]

Placed 3rd at a 24 person locals with this. Only change was alakazam for the radiant

[@danielaguilar8315]

Learned a lot about this deck thanks 🙏🏽

[@lxmercyxl9982]

Unless im making misplays (which I feel like im not), I feel like with this deck I can’t set up fast enough. The strat is having cleffa or rotom to draw for early turns, then bib or pidg for supp/draw, and setting up dragapult right?

[@whatsjaycookinwith6198]

Was literally looking for a video on your channel about dragapult for like 10 min today I went to go hoop came back and boom😭

[@MisterStubstep]

Love seeing two of my faves play

[@AronFigaro]

why is everybody asspulling chien pao for NAIC at the last minute? Everybody a week ago was saying it was kinda mid and wouldn't see much play with all the Dragapult, Blissey, and Teal Mask deck focusing the format. What's up with Chien Pao this week that I missed? This is like the fourth time.

[@MrWessiide]

Omnipoke just labeled it C tier lol

[@wingsof5stack390]

I have no idea. Everyones seems very flip floppy on chien pao. I think its better than roaring bolt but alot of people think otherwise

[@AronFigaro]

@@wingsof5stack390 Like a third of the people I know are bringing teal mask raging bolt. I think it's going to do pretty well overall, teal jank and single prize decks will beat it but otherwise the deck's good. You think more than two of us are gonna bring Luxray or something?

[@KirkpatrickSounds]

Cpao is still decent but just not flavour of the month with TwMa hype lol

[@Mikey-vx6ro]

@@wingsof5stack390 it's not better than bolt

[@corydarrow7313]

How could anyone doubt that Chien-Pao is your beloved?!

[@Garbegaum]

Devolution and manaphy could be good cards. Devolution can help u when going second against draga. Attack then next time devo, kill pidgey and active draga

[@KirkpatrickSounds]

I feel like this deck is extremely close to the best variant but bibarel engine is a bit overkill. I've yet to have an issue getting energy etc with just pidgeot as you can always arven into some additional earthen vessels etc. Good vid!

[@natelax45]

What if you replaced the bibarell engine with one charizard ex and one charmander

[@KirkpatrickSounds]

Would probably prefer Manaphy + Lumineon V ​@@natelax45

[@seantaft3853]

@nathanmachado9412 with Teal Masks running around, that sounds like a bigger liability than it's worth at the current moment. Plus, that's another line that needs a Rare Candy and TM Devolution is still a thing.

[@natelax45]

@@seantaft3853yeah your probably right. I think in my deck I’m gonna swap the radiant charizard for a radiant alakazam and then put in a blood moon ursaluna

[@KirkpatrickSounds]

@@natelax45 Radiant alakazam is a good shout. Also maybe a Manaphy + Lumineon V in there.

[@Gibczon]

Whats the potential cut for a manaphy? My locals are full of lzbs sooo xD

[@pikahunasatoshi1220]

I'm intrigued and need to work out a strategy to beat Zard deck using Dragapult w/o TM devolution. Help 😢

[@ITSJUSTMEFORNOW]

Yo tricky. Question for ya. Are all these new ace specs legal in GLC? My locals is finally adding this format to their roster

[@Brittowski]

Since ace specs have a rule box (just as radiant Pokémon), they're not legal for glc

[@ITSJUSTMEFORNOW]

Thanks for the reply man

[@BasedTCG]

I think Roseanne is better to loop Neo upper and the skateboard. I’ve flippped double tails on cylene way too many times lol

[@beesutton1717]

Am I wrong for thinking it would have been better play at 11:44 for him to have played Earthen Vessel so he only discards forest seal stone then he could have ultra balled and either discarded energy to keep both supporters since that was his one gripe, or that way he could have at least had more clear option of discarding the cyllene supporter and still have an energy and Arven and Kieran and got the pokemon off the Ultra Ball… is that wrong play?? and could someone educate me why, and what right play is?? Been getting into pokemon cards again and getting into TCG for real first time as I didn’t have ability to growing up with my parents and I will take all the tips and help as I don’t have any one to play in real life or on Pokemon TCG live except for the standard ranked matches hahaha

[@Raagentreg]

Just at a glance, I’m really uncomfortable not having manaphy in the list. Rad Greninja / WaterPon seem like everpresent threats. I’ll try this out later for sure though, looks promising!

[@Manley410]

I agree. Manaphy is 100% necessary in this current meta imo

[@erick1261]

So honest question what is the benefit of using Professor turo over Penny?

[@TrickyGym]

Penny can only pick up basic pokemon

[@Tundra0128]

“Is this deck real or is it fraudulent?” Lmfaooo

[@michaeljones1045]

just wanted to say i once was at a tournament and was runnin chien pao and went to look at my prizes and guess what i found........2 baxcalibur wasnt so perfect then but i did manage to take 3 prizes that game just attaching energy from hand

[@eulermachado3968]

Hello Andrew and how long! Im an old follower of the channel and hope you are doing fine! I want to play old formats with my friends and I see you as a big leader in this game about this topic. What years or formats of worlds do you recommend to me? Thanks!

[@hecticcorpse8939]

In the chein- poa matchup when you knocked out radiant greninja you could’ve just ended the game by putting the damage counters on frigibax

[@GethinWills]

This is an interesting list. The toolbox approach is actually pretty neat for more flexibility (provided the pieces you want aren't prized) 💪

[@jumpcutfilms1958]

Pidgeot Bib makes sense, the Zard method

[@takenname8053]

That mirror match was crazy!

[@TheBigupz]

magma basin armarogue funtimes for dragapult

[@Villa_Kanto]

Where’s the chill background music? 😞

[@mexicancarlos9959]

25:55 we dont have Rihan we got rihan at home *Mela*

[@dragonfruit5225]

Only thing better than pult is singing some foo fighters

[@Pidgey95]

Unfortunately this decklist is not the best. Often bricks, too slow to set up, especially when key cards are prized. Tried for 6 games only, but lost all of them. Easy brick, too slow to deal damage. The Neo energy is not the best ace spec, it leaves you vulnerable to hammers or Temples, then it's hard to attack if you haven't managed to attach energies. I prefer the Zard mix, since you can always attempt to attach energies via evolution. Not to mention, the lack of Manaphy made me lose to a Greninja. It is also very vulnerable to Sableye. Also, mist energy would help a lot in a mirror game. Personally, I don't even think that Bibarel is a good call. Most of the time your hand is larger than 5 cards or maybe 4 so you don't even draw that many cards. You have to resort to discard them say with a ultra ball, but then what's even the point.

[@darrionalexander8314]

Tricky vs. LittleDarkFury?! What is this?! 😱

[@andreapozzi7042]

Why no manaphy?

[@nickfanzo]

How good is manaphy against the meta now besides lost box ?

[@allanp7626]

First game was against little dark fury 😂

[@jarowinti9274]

This is a nice Charizard ex deck .... without Charizard ex ;o)) But Charizard ex can charge himself so I believe that One Earthen Vessel seems to be not enough...

[@Ieah2134]

En que pagina ves la nueva expansión xd

[@ericgreene2737]

The art of war.

[@danielaguilar8315]

You wouldn’t say that about manaphy if you went against a Greninja deck lol

[@lilb177yb0n3]

No one is talking about Skeledirge? 340 HP, 270 damage for 2 fire. 380 damage with Tera skeledirge and maximum belt.

[@thegreninjaking2122]

Way to slow. Very rare candy reliant and having devo being super popular it doesn't help. Atleast with zard the chameleon has an ability to block the devo effect. Zard is overall better and needs less resources and setup

[@nickfanzo]

Dragapult totally dying at naic 😂😂😂😂😂 Just play Gardevoir until august 😂

[@Killchaingg]

youre such a beast, great vid!

[@Disc0nnectd]

lance/xatu build is way more efficient just saying

[@Lycan3303]

Raging Bolt still best girl

[@Tsuchiyomi]

Damn, I was gunna sub, then you said you like Baxcallibur, oh well...

[@monster_thebed6738]

is it tho....

[@Koudey]

Good luck at NAIC

[@Insideranon]

I haven't found a single decent drapult deck so far... honestly, I don't know how you got wins with this.... Maybe I'm just bad and should quit the game but no matter what I do with pult it gets trashed so easily.

[@itzjorsh]

DN no one using lance crazy

[@rubenquezada3999]

Manaphy is cowards 😅

[@upb1439]

Gimme gimme gimme

[@joysvoboda5645]

Dragapult/charizard ex deck list is better

[@Mikey-vx6ro]

I've hard more success with the zard than any other variant. I agree

[@jonathanwooden]

This deck is way too clunky

[@mikephair1867]

🐐🐐

[@zenohopper1356]

First comment baby!

This looks like a pile that bricks 6 out of 5 games.
