[carolynzilinski]

Ok, you talked me into it, putting a Gardevoir deck together tonight. Thanks for a great update

[dancool]

Thanks again for the great content Zach!

[zeuszamudio]

You da man Zach, thanks for always posting good stuff

[ultial]

That Exeggutor ex makes it such a great deck against mimikyu - cornerstone ogerpon

[blackbourbon]

Thanks for the content! I am a big fan of Gouging Fire! Do you think you can make a complete video for this deck ? It would be awesome. Congrats and big up from Belgium!

[JerryS]

I love Dusknoir in my Charizard ex deck, it’s bailed me out a few times. Any deck built to play from behind really benefits from cards like Dusclops/Dusknoir and Briar. A lot of fun.

[Emmanuelboyd]

New to the TCG but I'm going to throw my prevote for ancient lost box cuz it was the last deck I was watching a video on

[JerryS]

Dragapult ex has a ton of potential for the next few months until rotation.

Budew does present a few problems for stage 2 decks, but I think right now it’s a little overblown. There are answers.

[carolynzilinski]

Every time I encountered a Gholdengo deck this week I got pounded into component atoms. I need to find a serious counter.

[sns]

And here i am wanting to play Festival Lead and United Wings lol

[samuelyee]

I can consider to integrate 1 roaring moon ex in my ancient box to deal with high HP 2 prize pokemon as i had the hard time when my ancient box took on regidrago, dragapult, charizard, archaludon due to i was unable to one shot the high hp pokemon

[GodWearsGucci]

what happened to chien pao ex decks? I have not been following pokemon TCG since 151 and now I was hoping to return and play again with an updated chien pao deck

[braidenhowell]

Curious what's gonna go down after the format change so many decks gonna get busted apart 😕😢

[grandgamer]

When it comes to regidrago, I’m kinda torn between Jamming Tower and Haxorus. Thoughts?

[pokefan]

The list in the description for charizard is not the same one as shown on screen. Your list in the description has it running lost vacuum instead of manaphy

[jm]

I’m surprised ceruledge isn’t in this and raikou/miraidon

[bratatafinlandia]

what do you believe its the best deck for begginers?

[Larrball]

I thought it was max 20 cards in a deck how is there so many in these? (Im a new player)

[ChazBlanks]

Iron Thorns Dragapult is the best of both worlds
