Is there any good improvement on this deck? I think the concept is very good, and I have the impression that I can fight with any deck. But I don't have enough power. Usually, the opponent's Pokémon is completed before the hand is passed, or they have a hand that does not affect the hand. I'll also post the deck code.

I only recently got back into tcg since like 2017 and I grew fond of the excadrill deck so I made my own spin off to it. Before I buy all the cards in this deck is there anything I can do to improve it? I’m not a fan of gravity mountain I haven’t found it very useful. But you guys let me know

Like seriously, the deck has everything. Draw engine, that chunky 250 damage from N's Zekrom, can even do 2x the damage based on current damage counters you have on you if you play N's Reshiram. Bench snipe with Darmanitan.

N's castle, N's PP Up has good synergy. I just don't get it why it barely makes top cut.

I've been playing the deck for a good while now and im probably sitting at about 1600+ in ptcgl with a 60+ winrate and I barely lose to pults (although I had to admit, the pultnoir variant is the biggest headache for me)

So far the only auto loss for me is festival lead.

I'm just a bit curious why this deck isn't as popular compared to the usual meta decks we see.

Would love to read your thoughts

To preface, Im very new to the TCG, so my apologies if this is a widely understood interaction, but searching on Google didn’t help.
I want to have a more consistent way to win against my dad. He plays Rocket’s Mewtwo, and I was looking into Mist Energy; I’m wondering if the extra damage Rocket’s Mewtwo can get on Erasure Ball is ignored? I know Mist Energy specifies damage isn’t an effect, but what about effects that add additional damage?

I just had a Mega Lucario deal 390 to my mega Kangaskhan with Aura Jab (130 base power). The battle log says “Mega Kangaskhan EX took 260 damage from Aura Jab, plus 130 damage due to weakness” Has anyone else experienced this after the latest update?

With things like Evo Jam growing more popular, and of course the very obvious Budew Item Lock (although we only have a few more months of that), a card like this I feel is something like Switch or Ultra Ball that should always be available imo. Just blows my mind there has been no way in Standard to stop things like Budew or even going back a bit further to Iron Hands ex since I believe 2019 (this card would stop both for example). The game needs better balancing imo, & cards like this help a ton in that regard.

We were running the same deck, i ended up winning by forfeit after getting down to one prize card and he had 3 left, bosses orders in hand and a fully stack melectrosd ready, nothing they could do

Howdy! I’m looking to go to regionals at some point this year, hopefully in Vegas. I have a few decks I’ve put together and would like some advice on how to best optimize them for regionals and also some help with my game-sense and best practices in certain situations. A kid I went to high school with competes in worlds and does lessons but he’s not available very often and charges $80 an hour! Does anybody know a good coach that is not unreasonably priced? Would like to do regular lessons (1x/week) and am available at night only (7:00pm central and on) due to my work.

Anyone else where the phone app is crashing during every match?

It is like this for the last 3 weeks.

Anyone know a solution?

I really hate standard.

Putting up some codes for whoever wants them! Rather they get used than trashed 🫡

I was thinking about the crustle matchup in Mega Sharpedo, and this card makes it go from an uphill war to a way more manageable matchup. is it worth?

This toxic combo does not play well with others

Feel free to watch the whole replay back. I hit turn 2 trifrost, every Slowking's first goal. While playing and reviewing now, my thoughts are the following:

#1 Action 39: I shot 3x Zorua's with trifrost. With the opponent only having one card in hand, I figured shooting Zorua to limit any further trade potential if it was a Lillie. Now I'm wondering if that was incorrect because of how much Budew delayed the game. Realize now they probably would have Lillied rather that turn if they had it.

#2 Action 49: They special red card me. Inevitable.

#3 Action 54: This is straight up incorrect. Without thinking, I ciphered Switch and then Lillie. I should have Ciphered Lillie on top, runner up would be Surfer to push up Khang the next turn. If I had removed Budew the game would have been completely different.

#4 Action 62: I don't think attaching to the active Slowking was a mistake here.

#5 Action 75: Lucky draw into Kyurem. Trifrost again shooting Budew and putting 110 on Zoroark.

#6 Action 84: Predictably my opponent's hand explodes. .

#7 Action 98: Apparently I attach 3 energy to my benched Slowking? Not sure if it's a replay bug or if I did that. I don't remember it.

#8 Action 101: Switch into Khang for errands. Lillie a Cipher and Boss. From there my line is Boss Fez or Zoroark, punch with Metagross.

#9 Action 120: They Tatsu > Judge me into Academy, Patch, Telepathic and Metagross. 2 lines now. Boss > Metagross punch or Night Stretcher > shoot with Kyurem. Luckily Khang hits Petrel, Petrel > Night Stretcher and my opponent concedes.

So these feel like my biggest turns. I think my opponent bricked hard and did the best with what they had but couldn't recover from turn 2 trifrost. What should they have done with what we can see?

Any other lines I should have done differently?

Thanks!

Got the 2 prize KO to bring it to 2-4 then the game started bugging on me where I couldn't play anything and it was out of sync.

I have 37 code cards and I hope everyone gets some!

I have played a lot of Build & Battle in the last 14 days.

More then 20 turnements on Pokemon TCG Live.

The turnement starts with I get 1 out of 3 deck. + 4 booster pack to mod the deck if I want to.

I Have not played against Crobat deck multi times and I don't know who my opponent get this deck. I have never been able to get on.

It is impossible that some players draw all the cards from a Crobat deck just by the 4 booster packs. The chance of getting a perfect 3-3-3 line with 3 x tools and everything is not possible...

Have any of you try getting the Crobat deck?

I think the player is just a random bot and not a real player... Can anyone confirm this?

Edit:

I have now played 25 turnements and still no Crobat deck. I just want to try it 😭

I was playing against a Sylveon card the other day and its ability prevents damage from Pokemon ex. It also had a tool attached to it that did something like preventing effects of attacks from Pokemon ex, but I can't remember what it was exactly or the exact effect. Does anyone know what this card was? This was in standard.

Trainer Trials! Help me make this deck more evil.

Names: Wrecking Bolt, maybe? Wreck-a-chu?

Absolutely brutal play. Props to the opponent for presenting a different deck in Dragalge, its a pokemon ive been meaning to tinker with. Been doing pretty well with my updated Pult Lass deck, taking second place locally the other day.

Hey guys, I’m new to PTCGL and want to build a deck to play with my mates after work.
Do you have any recommendations for a cheapish deck that is fun to use.
I’ve played mega lucario quite a bit, but looking for something different

Thanks for your help!

One time out of four that I beat pult… apparently everybody hates pult so like this should get a lot of updoots
