New emotes and discord perks coming soon

[@ellicg]

Please take a look at a game called Thr Bazaar, it look like TFT and its super fun

[@SlightlyOP]

This might be placebo... BUT I think I discovered the "bent pack trick" for the space time set. During the pack selection phase spin to the left and look for backwards packs. The pack to the left of the backwards pack has be very fortunate to me.

[@richmccann2052]

I really thought Dialga would be meta. Like major.

[@spragelsPocket]

I think it’s good but maybe not the best yet

[@richmccann2052]

@ I was wrong about Palkia too… I was just very wrong lol.

[@nowaaaaaaayyy]

I think metal in general needs more selections. Atleast you can now play a full metal deck.

[@S0linity]

@@richmccann2052wdym? Palkia is actually doing pretty solid in the meta it isnt darkrai but its still above 50% win rate in tournaments

[@NoRest--90]

With zard getting a bit of buff with just a few cards from A2. It's really hard to run Dialga EX atm. A Moltres ex with a Dawn could really wreak your day forcing you to retreat leaving you with an active pokemon with low energy or has yet to evolve. They kill that or they just Cyrus the dialga in the back and you're pretty much screwed.

[@valorousjoe22]

Bro, how do you not call this deck the Green Eggs and Yanm 😂

[@spragelsPocket]

I’m very disappointed in myself

[@Jerrymaiyah1209]

@@valorousjoe22 ahhh missed oppurtunity. This is perfect!

[@NoRest--90]

Yan Mega Nutz. 🤣🤣🤣

[@sethanderson6698]

I am a Darkrai player, that I am And I do not like Green Eggs and Yanm!

[@Nodnarb59]

I put Shaymin in there for a lil cheeky passive healing too

[@Kurobeau]

having to lead as shamin might sting a bit

[@christianguy6222]

doing that has saved me and also ruined some of my games 😅

[@gmoburrito6090]

20:05 youre just gonna cut your own backstory like THAT ? 😂 im curious now

[@spragelsPocket]

lol that is a funny edit. Sorry! Fulls story on stream but I lived with a Japanese foreign exchange student when I was a little kid.

[@iz4149]

most brilliant title i've ever seen! keep up the great work cowboy 👍

[@joshchet6821]

Man that full art Cyrus is awesome.

[@BaconGamer498]

16:06 That is my exact spending habit with this game right now supporting the game while also not breaking the bank and still being able to get whats needed for decks

[@demiurge3153]

I made a new account just to create this deck last night and now here is a polished version right before my eyes

[@sandslash8232]

I’ve been using this deck for a while now I run 2 leafs and 2 potions instead of x speed and rocky helmet instead. great video thanks for the content!

[@adamholt5395]

I love this build. I pulled 2 Yanmega and was disappointed, but once I started playing this deck it easily became one of my favorites. Exeggutor EX is so good for this deck.

[@ohzenn]

Cress is one where it feels like limiting healing to coming from every zone was not necessary

[@Kurobeau]

knew straight away Palkia and Darkrai would be meta bc people love the Misty 50/50 esp the Japanese community, and Darkrai "attacks" without ending your turn, which felt insane on reveal.

[@kekchanbiggestfan]

I’m still using my same deck from genetic apex and it’s serving me so well. It got me through both the SP Emblem events no problem

[@garrettgrimm1307]

I did not expect yanmega to be a true threat but this is one of my favorites right now. I thought Dialga melmetal was going to be the best deck

[@zackfake1253]

I really wanted to hear the story about how you spoke Japanese as a child lol

[@TheOnlyG_BH]

I've been running a similar deck with shaymin and 1x potion for extra heals and its perfect, ima try it in a tourney this weekend

[@_purge9488]

18:00 id say Mewtwo/Gard was “catastrophically bad” until we got the next set. It was like 80% of decks.

[@Caw50]

Not spragels referencing bo 😍 we love to see it

[@NoRest--90]

You can try the MI egg too. It doesn't attack like the apex egg. But it gives you 2 energy on the Exeggutor ex. This allows for a bit of mobility if ever you'd need to retreat allowing you to hold of on using your single Leaf.

[@_purge9488]

Yea but going against Darkrai you’ll want the early damage to shut them down before it’s too late. Besides a bum Mewtwo deck I’ve only seen Darkrai decks

[@johnmichaelreyes4577]

Even infernape + moltres deck has much trouble in this deck since you can ramp both hp by cape out of infernape's ko range.

[@tunixd2186]

omg the title hits hard hahaha

[@yoshineitor]

I just saw how aggro weavile was. I never thought Darkrai could put that much pressure for free however.

[@djjomon]

Ayyy someone else with a 1 gallon water jug

[@GlobalDigitalEmpire]

I thought Darkrai would be meta but I thought there'd be more dialga metal decks

[@dillzisnotcool9580]

I like running just 1 celebi with the egg line, I only need 2 pokeballs, 2 oaks, 1 communication to setup my board

[@ICrankDiscGolf]

Drudd wall, with marowak ex and galade ex is next level

[@emiliomxbec213]

13:28 It was called Clash Mini! Sadly, they cancelled it, however they intend to bring it into Clash Royale, another Supercell game, as an extra mode!

[@dylang3748]

An idea I was playing with but I could not fully complete due to lack of cards was a gallade + dusknoir, the mythical slab is able to draw more consistently due to gallade having psychic basic and stage 1 pokemon. Could be at least interesting but drawing the dusknoir line too early while missing gallade seemed to be a problem I was having and it also seemed pretty susceptible to more aggressive decks. Not sure if running more than one 3 stage line is viable but maybe you could try this if you were planning to try different gallade decks.

[@infra_r3d133]

Ran this this with double Shaymin, better that way IMO. But I still like this version, too! I drop one of the tools and only one pokeball

[@sageferreira5595]

Definitely thought yanmega. Which if it’s the meta counter. Go team yanmega ✌🏼

[@lucasbello117]

Idk if I thought of this as the meta but Infernape... oof! I really want to make a deck with it... after 70 opened packs I still can't build a decent deck lol

[@ulamgexe7442]

For me, I was really really high on Darkrai + Weavile. I was pretty shocked to see how poorly it performed on your tournament.

[@hicamajig]

Love that exeggutor has been clutch anti meta since launch.

[@XC11301991]

Been seeing a lot of Exeggutors as predicted to counter Darkrai. Surprisingly, still beating them all.

[@PecheLeBlue]

Being using this deck since the Darkrai release date

[@kidnamedjulian]

Before the expansion dropped I was higher on Dialga than I am today and I think that‘s how most people feel about Dialga. I thought there was no way Palkia would be better than Dialga but turns out Manaphy is way more efficient and faster at cheating energy than Dialga is. I didn't see Magnezone coming either. I think it's genius that someone came up with the idea of playing Magnezone in dual energy type decklists, but the fact that everything is played with Magnezone is pretty annoying.

[@psychadelicactus]

I beat a moltres ex and charizard deck with this, great deck to play against old meta too

[@change2play]

Ruin Maniac world be a cool support to get for fossil mons that allows for you to grab one fossil from your deck

[@sethanderson6698]

That or fossil egg, where you flip a coin. Heads will allow you to play any pokémon that evolves from a fossil like a basic pokémon.

[@change2play]

@sethanderson6698 I like that as well. Not a fan of the coin flip aspect but I guess that balances it

[@sethanderson6698]

​@change2play It's an actual card from the physical TCG. In the Johto series, the card fossil egg allowed any pokémon that evolved from a mysterious fossil to be played as a basic pokémon (so Ominyte, Kabuto, and Aetodactyl). But you had to flip heads.

[@change2play]

@sethanderson6698 nice! Yeah that could be a great addition!

[@sethanderson6698]

@change2play I hope so, too. I feel like some support for fossils is needed eventually; especially when more are added, such as lileep, anorith, archian, tirtuga, amura, and tyrunt. Another idea would be going back to the general "Mysterious Fossil" card and have it act as a catch all for all the fossil pokémon.

[@IBeatUpCakez]

Legit knew darkrai was gonna be good

[@viscomchris]

It would be great if I could actually pull an Exeggutor card. I'm still trying to pull one from the Charizard pack.

[@100megayoshi]

I pulled two Yanmega EX, but haven't pulled any Yanma yet. I really want to try it with Manaphy & Dawn.

[@Caw50]

Shoutout to the commenter who hasn't spent any money on the game, but I've spent $100s-ish and I just finally got immersive Dialga so I have both immersives now and 2 of every ex from both of the new packs. Would I rather have these things or not have a gambling addiction? Who knows, that's not really the point

[@joshtucci468]

I feel a few of your recent decks have been short 1-2 basics! this meta feels quicker besides darkzone and gyarados so could get punished for drawing only 2 basics and a bunch of tools in your opening hand and draws

[@spragelsPocket]

Yeah it feels like many more quick options

[@ohreally69]

6:32 i agree.... There are also some youtubers who act like they came up with a deck by themselves when other people have already been using them

[@subtle-light]

Ah yes, Underlords. I miss that game.

[@Jrssnjr]

The one opponent with the Purrugly had the red card in their deck for a reason, and they still got trigger happy and botched it. Just goes to show how bad red card is😅

[@ishidaxmatt]

Dude I got hooked how did you speak japanese as a child?

[@kellenbarranger]

really like this deck. just smacked a dialga/melmetal deck and I'm not sure the person expected it to go so hard. edit: ok, I'm on like a 5 win streak with it already. I'll keep going before everyone sees this video and makes the same deck lol edit 2!: ok I'm done, but just went up against a Mewtwo deck where the person got a double Gardevoir setup and I still won. sheesh this deck.

[@randomaznken1]

Thought Infernal would be meta. Such a fun card with a great immersive art

[@tkrstore4334]

they need to release a lance support card that allows dragonite to hit a target all 4 times

[@DCLEGEND7432]

14:00 RIP clash mini

[@ZenCrypto-ov8zj]

This deck looks really EGGciting!!!

[@lelitosuno]

I’ve been using Alakazam for fun and it’s nice against darkcry lol because they spend time adding energy and alakazam is like yes yes add moreee

[@spragelsPocket]

Very fun

[@user-sc3oh1bw4z]

how do you even set board? aren't darkrai usually backline? while for attacker they use weavile etc. also alakazam weak to dark and being 4 stages..

[@lelitosuno]

@ because I am okay with letting mons fall and using Sabrina and Cyrus… and using plenty of what this game is built on “luck”

[@PopcornMax179]

I'll go play Blaine now. Thanks now everyone playing Eggs and Celebi to counter Darkrai.

[@Eldriss_]

I use 1 combee just to increase basic count and higher chance of egg turn 2

[@viniciusgomes3002]

Wait, there is a Pokémon autochess?

[@n1ghtt295]

19:00 So.... it is pay to win. Most don't have the money to put into the game or can do it as a write-off. The game isn't bad, but it's a gotcha game.

[@wilber2234]

By countering the meta, just use another meta deck... This was used in the tournament quite a few times and did well. This is not a meta counter, it is a part of the meta.

[@jakijones6602]

I knew Darkrai would be good, but I underestimated how good. I thought we'd see more dialga to power melmetal. And honestly Palkia is doing a bit better than I anticipated. I thought Palkia was really bad at first glance.

[@enjoicorndog821]

I wanna see a Porygon z deck that works

[@GaaraOTD_TTV]

I still don't have a single cress ex :(

[@littlezero6399]

Meta is non ex articuno and the cat.

[@TheMajinGames]

Darkrai the new mewtwo, confirmed. Also, Druddigon still the most anti-game card

[@spragelsPocket]

Feels like it

[@user-sc3oh1bw4z]

but i feel i see druddigon less tho..

[@PharmDiff]

First two games were Farfetch'd into Giovanni ruining my life turn 1

[@shweedYT]

Decks like this, I just pull draw all the support/item cards and just brick more often than I can actually play

[@cosmicblank]

If you have greninja and drud, darkrai still beats this deck cuz i been doin it

[@stupor5697]

Hi my name is earl

[@ShampooMasta]

I named my deck Green Eggs and Yam

[@angeluribe1803]

Any discord server for trade?

[@IKER0718]

the first game the opponent play incredibly bad lol, wrong darkrai for cape, didnt give energy before sabrina, he probably could win if they play just slightly better

[@brianbaker5590]

Bro can someone please help me I can’t beat this deck on expert level😭

[@RockLucena]

16:09: people still haven't learned to remove this abomination know as red card from their decks... 😂

[@ifukinh8zombies]

Why can’t we trade the new cards? Smh

[@sweetpotato8548]

It is pretty lame that we cannot.

[@diode_wow]

Because they want you to spend your money on the new set.

[@change2play]

Pretty sure we'll be able to once we get the next set. Probably not the upcoming one but the one after that. Probably just a way to keep the set fresh and new without making the chase cards to easy to get
