dang, the first kadabra card in like 20 years and its just getting skipped in favor of rare candy is kinda funny
I wish they had at least done something interesting with it. But modern design specifies that all middle evos not named Kirlia must be useless I guess.
Flaaffy too but almost no one uses Ampharos-ex sadly
@@bduddy55555Drizzile was cracked too when that was still in
with the devolution tm coming in I think we'll see more stage 2s, which is a good thing
@@tituswu691you mean stage 1's?
The crazy thing about Alakazam being able to attack from the bench is that this could easily get WAY better in the future from completely seemingly unrelated cards coming out
I remember as a kid playing Neo Genesis Elekid to "attack" from the bench, even though it was a Pokémon Power and not an actual attack. I thought it was amazing because it was a potential free out if I didn't have enough energy to attack with my active.
That’s true!!! Forgot about that. I love that card
Alakazam is so smart that it literally created its own mechanic
Love your commentary, so chill and soft spoken, unlike most of the other poketubers. I can watch it on a second monitor while working, listening to music and brewing my own decks. 👌👌
exactly
The Klefki start is just too good in this Format. Alot of decks rely on Pokemon Abilities to get ramped up. Its kinda funny how many decks just loose after turn 2 cause they cant do anything.
I'm scared of what this could do in expanded
Already got that shucklezam planned out
Need more of these type of vids. Very entertaining since you know so many cards and it’s faster games. With crazy decks making it 🤌 make more 🙏
Excited to try the decks from 151. Kinda waiting to see how lists develop first, but alakazam seems so fun.
POGO Snorlax is a good addition, too. Keeps the opponent's active from retreating while Snorlax is in the active spot.
Along with bravery charm and any energy disruption cards
I found it kinda weird, because if you want to stick something in the active and block it with Snorlax, then there is usually no point in attacking it with Alakazam.
I have Kazam ex in my expanded Snorlax block deck. I use 4 vessel of life shedinja, so if they knock out snorlax, they still don't take a prize.
Its powerful.
Im in Japan so we have had this set for a while, and Ive only played against this deck once. I lost to it because I completely forgot it could mind jack and knock out my Chien Pao for game at the end lol. Watching you completely shut down lost box was awesome though haha. We just got the Raging Surf set here today, so hopefully the new Jirachi slows down lost decks a bit.
This is exact experience lol. Only played against alakazam once here and he beat my chien pao cause i didnt know what it could do yet. Im so tired of facing lost box as chien pao, i might have to try this out so people stop playing lost box haha
Can we see a Jynx deck soon? She looks interesting when paired with Hypno
"Ima give you the Mind Jack BROTHER" 😂😂😂
I lost it when you, one of the pioneers of today's leading Miraidon builds, laughed while calling the deck "Mid-raidon." Good stuff and another great video!
Seems like a fun list. Maybe playing a kadabra or a vitality band for the one shot on Radiants would be cool.
excited to see if comboing this with unown vstar and supereffective glasses or the new kabutops isnt too convoluted. this mimikyu/klefki combo is a lot more effective than i thought it would be. hitting for 480 from the bench every turn sounds pretty fun but even 360 would pretty much ohko everything
it’s a great deck! i won against lost zone giratina and tikaton ex on live !
i remember that in pokemon tcg 2 from gbc was an hypno that could attack from the bench if was a cleafairy doll in front
I want to note also that it hits for weakness as well making it a good pairing with unown vstar
1. I play a similar deck, but with Mismagius that spreads and hits recoil. 2. With Colress and Lost city, could you fit a sableye? 3. AWESOME video as a always. I'm inspired to go play as per usual.
There was a Hypno that could attack from the bench, I think it was the second Hypno ever printed right after the Fossil set. It had the Poképower Pupet Master, this Pokémon could use his attack from the bench as long as a Clefairy Doll was on the active spot and Hypno had the energy attached.
bor your channel is amazing. i appricate your content. im getting into GLC built a dragon deck, very excited to go play locally
I really wanna see a super tanky blastoise deck 🙏🙏 one of my fav pkm and maybe one of the most powerful cards from 151
I had Blastoise Vmax deck with Inteleon, Palkia vstar, and boost shakes which was really fun but not a 1st place deck haha
Alakazam has always been my favorite mon, and seeing him get a unique attack is so damn cool. My boy finally getting his flowers with a sick illustration rare to go with it
I’m making a Jynx ex insta KO deck for expanded and I’m super excited
Excited to watch this one!
I LOVE this deck....if not for the sheer confusion when someone faces it for the first time. Woo...just did it again. Concede!
from Alakascam to a 45 minute video. this is epic
That devilish face was Golden my boy 5:35
I'm curious about using pokemon with abilities that don't give prize cards when knocked out like Jynx
Because Jynx only negates prizes when KOd by Pokemon-V, the Pokemon-ex in format can swing through it (and single prizers), so Mimikyu is just a more versatile option. That, and Mimikyu's walling means you don't have to recover them turn by turn, where Jynx would need a lot of recovery
Time to visit what tools would work well on Mimikyu. Like, Tool Jammer. Did Zoroark just pass the box torch?
I love seeing lost zone not but able to function lol
something funny about this deck, if you're in a mirror match at first I thought Mimikyus up front on both sides just block the damage and it's a stalemate, but actually attacking with klefki would cancel the opponent's mimikyu's Safeguard and allow the bench attack to go thru... weird stuff
It's not stall if you attack with Mimikyu
I think adding block snorlax would be nice
Can you explain why there's 4 Colress in the deck? It is only for drawsupport? 'cause you don't need the Lost Zone. Right?
I think one or two choice bands in this deck would go a long way for turning 3HKOs into 2HKOS
the deck is pretty tight, no room for choice belt
Deck is gonna be way better after rotation
I like the set up
Diance would another neat addition to this deck. Draw 2 cards for 1 energy and stops ur opponent from trying to use Boss Orders or any other supporter card that affects ur bench pokemon :)
only for basic, so can't protect alakazam
yo I finish my alakazam deck but it has the new wiggly on + cheryl so do you think that be good or it is juste terrible???
I had a good chuckle when Andrew said Midraidon.
I haven't played in over a year, I came back to see all of this and all my cards I collected because they were so rare in PTCGO game and they did not get migrated over. I am so sad and lost have to start again
Killing that lost box deck felt soooooooo good!
This deck seems really fun. I wonder what people will use after Fog Crystal gets dumped next rotation.
I’d say maybe quad level ball, switch to Kirlia instead of bibarel at that point. Make room for a couple Earth Vessel from the next set.
Level ball rotates too.
Just play nest balls & earth vessels with arven or some other engine
Why is the set MEW and not 151?
I'm surprised they managed to program this mechanic into PTCG Live.
Helix fossils from 151 with PTTP hilariously locks abilities permanently aswell
yoooo Alakazam using dementia hand is so cool!!!
I threw a couple Alakazam ex in my Florges/ doll stall deck, and the results were salty. 😂
just out of curiosity...any stadium cards that stop boss?
This is the deck I want to play
Wow I’m super early, awesome video!!!
Seems like my type of deck. I’ll take it to a cup
Does this mean the Special Illustration Rare, Alakazam ex going to be pricey? A cheap shot, but super effective...until Boss's Order come to play.
Given PTCGL's history with
new mechanics being buggy, I'm surprised this works.
Dang, I heard that Uri Geller can attack while sitting on a park bench?
Under rated comment
3hko wit play blocks is pretty sweet 😋
That bench damage of kadabra is enough to knockout a pokemon with less than 120HP but prone to manaphy's effect if there is no klefki in your deck
Do you mean Alakazam? Manaphy only prevents damage done to your bench, not damage done to your active by your opponents benched pokemon
I totally thought that the attack from the bench was a bug in the game, and not a new card
Can’t wait for the vod
I spend an hour ragging on the deck then start winning
@@TrickyGym sounds hype as hell
Radiant greninja laughs with 10hp
120 is still low tho from an atk that can be done to the bench
Someone’s gonna make this a tear 2 deck
Every deck is about to play 4 Boss and 3 Pal Pad to counter ...
Surprised that PTCGLive didn't break from the attack
Where can I play this? Is there a website or something?
This has to be bugged somehow
As a resident 1 prize deck believer, I must say that this deck is an absolute menace to play against. Obsidian Flames Scizor gets completely destroyed by this. Not sure how other decks perform.
(Intrusive thoughts) play this with the toxic weezing deck you did a long while back 🤙
Do it again but this time with palkia from celebrations and path
For mimikyu, are Pokémon vmax considered “Pokémon V”? Or does it strictly refer to only “Pokémon V” Pokémon?
Yes, Vmax are also considered as Pokémon V :)
i left the stream while you were initially building the deck
what happened while i was gone💀💀
Couldn't you also play path to completely shut down all abilities?
Question: Will Zapdos-ex do more damage with POGO Zapdos' Lightning Symbol ability?
Interesting question, I want to say it does because zapdos ex isn't zapdos. An example is falinks V's ability applies to any pokemon with "falinks" in its name, so it works on both the single prizer and the V. Apologies for all the words this stuff is just really interesting to me anybody feel free to correct me (one last thing, the ability does NOT apply to the zapdos ex's bench damage)
It does.
It only doesn't boost other "Zapdos". Zapdos ex and Zapdos-GX and Zapdos-EX are technically different Pokémon.
Oh okay, yeah if it didn't boost Zapdos-ex damage then it would have said "except any Zapdos IN THE NAME", which would suck lmfao
@@justinryder6358 Yeah I figured the Bench dmg isn't boosted because the ability only applies to the Active
Thank you both for answering my question :)
I think there is legitimate reason to have a 1 of baby miraidon thanks to zapdos
They got it like that
no kadabra :(
Glad to see it actually works. So many people have ideas for decks around this card. I know I do.
Okay but let me cook
The new Koffing that KOs the opponent Pokemon when it goes down, which is a coin flip
Plus I think it’s Wigglytuff? But the one that gets way too much HP just for having a special energy
Maybe not both of them or only them but worth considering
Doesn't that still use up you're attack for the turn.
That's messed up...
ultimate control deck
This is Yu-Gi-Oh levels of powercreep.
This deck is nuts lot it is like Miraidon's and Lost Box's worst nightmare. Too bad Lugia destroys it
Why not use fossils?
Dang it, I owe you a Twitch sub now.
I hate LZB so much I’m playing this deck!
Why not path to the peak
No Defiance Band? Turns the 120 into a 2shot on VStars and also the deck is so bad you'll always be behind
Manaphy exists though…
Manaphy stops attacks to the bench not attacks from the bench.
I'm annoyed for your opponents in this video. My Charizard ex deck got wrecked by a Mimikyu deck a while back, so I guess I need to build out and play this to know how to counter it.
lmao this deck !
Calling it mid ri don after you played it ar worlds 😅😂😂😂😂
BUSTED
This card is disgusting
I love ur videos but too be honest the biggest problem is that ur videos can be seen as boring cause of ur monotone voice please add back ground music even if just a little
That sounds terrible
