5:48 scratches my brain that u didnt evolve into lumineon first for the free retreat and instead retreated using an energy😂 other than that, great job showcasing the deck!
been running lapras starmie ex since the first event and its got me gold in all of them its still a very strong fast deck! Hoping it can carry me in the next 5 consec wins event
@ShortsTCG I used to use the ex but it was too misty reliant so I switched to normal Lapras as a druddigon type card which can deal damage with 1 energy and help starmie build up and if misty pays off it does the same damage with only a 1 point ko rate it's quite useful
>OnlyShorts TCG >Posts a full length video Jk I like the deck, especially with the 0 retreat cost line up. I think I would rather run the second Sabrina or Giovanni over the Blue or X Speed, or I would add a single Articuno EX just to help with the squishy start
@ Gio really helps Starmie get past a lot of the 100HP walls out there, especially Druddigon, but it doesn’t work with Lumineon at all which is a shame. Sabrina has mediocre synergy with Lumineon, sometimes they may keep a weak Pokemon in to avoid being hit with it, but if Starmie’s there then that doesn’t really matter because it’s not safe anywhere. Blue also doesn’t hit many key break points in this Deck, Starmie can’t live Gyarados even with Blue, and lives Pika without it. Blue and potion is a good combo though because you can shoot for a few different breakpoints with healing. It’s kind of a tough call, Gio for the aggression, Sabrina for the utility, or Blue for the survivability.
I think I would drop the Blue, X Speed and one potion for Articuno EX, Leaf, and Sabrina. I think that fits my playstyle a little more while keeping the spirit of the deck
i play this before and a similar sniper deck with electric zapdos and MI electrobuzz only. problem with starmie and lumineon only is both pokemons do not have late game power because the highest hp is only 130 and damage is 90. and both are stage 1, and can brick at times against strong basics like pikachu, zapdos and mewtwo. speed and aggro is necessary for this deck. once you fall behind setting up both your starmie and lumineon and attacking against the drud wall big hitters like gary/blastois/golem, your late game is very weak. also the best aggro now is grass eggexutor/celebi. you can even drop the entire serperior line because egg EX is a huge tanky wall that can attack early fast and strong with 1 energy for 40+40 damage, and celebi who is a super strong EX basic that scales damages from turn 2 onwards. and with both erikas and heal potions, and even both blues, both egg ex and celebi can survive for long time unless you OHKO fast.
You raise some good points, and you're not wrong at all. Exeggutor EX is one of my favourite and most played cards, truly a great early game mon. (If you hit heads)
Tauros saw a lot of use at the start of Mythical. It's in a few great decks like Weezing Scoli. It's a good card but it's definitely taken a back seat to Mew. I think the rise of a few no EX decks made it hit and miss, but its still solid.
These are the only mons from the charizard pack that i have one copy of, and they’re my favorites. They’re so strong but if i keep opening charizard packs ima end up with 18 moltres with my luck
@Yunder I think it will just be like wonder picks. Get some hourglasses and charges, but can use gold for more. Also think it'll be multiple charges based on rarity the same as wonder.

Brother Aerodactyl is on the board... How could I Evo? 😂😂
Edit: I even talked about the ability 👀
@@ShortsTCG oh shit mb🤣
starmie is still looking for a great basic EX partner, like eggexcutor who found celebi as its perfect aggro partner.
Like zapdos ex as well on electric deck
@@hyr1972 I mean Articuno ain't bad but you gotta run Eevee Vapo and it gets a bit bloated
Manaphy soon 😂😂😂

Lapras is such an interesting card!! It's always been solid but it's barely ran. I think it really needed to have 90/100 damage.
@ShortsTCG I used to use the ex but it was too misty reliant so I switched to normal Lapras as a druddigon type card which can deal damage with 1 energy and help starmie build up and if misty pays off it does the same damage with only a 1 point ko rate it's quite useful
@keilanclc1609 ohhh you meant normal Lapras, I see! Good card but man, do you have to rely on Misty too much?
@@ShortsTCG it's more of a meat shield and early game damage chipper whilst starmie is set up then can be sabrina fodder so ur exs don't get sniped
I played the same deck but I was running 2 starmie ex aswell as 2 regular starmie for the consistency and depending if I go first or second.
Interesting! I've ran 2 EX 1 Non EX but never done the 2/2. Always too scared of getting bricked.
@ felt fine, I had enough trainer cards anyway like Sabrina gio and potions.
I started running Vulpix/Nintales for the same reason.
Turn 2 90 takes out most non-EX
Turn 3 180 kills everything
Yep, Blaine deck is great! Even more damage with the old man
The deck is cool but the dog it's the MVP here
He agrees.

Valid modifications, I've had similar thoughts but I was pretty keen to put out an Articuno-less variation to see how it stacked up!

Qhy isnt this deck in top?
Decks need to be played to win, it's out of favour.
No starmie and executor ex….

Meanwhile me, with 1 Moltres EX (the free promo) with 4k cards....
@@ShortsTCG im curious how the trading system is gonna work, prolly gonna cost gold or something

Starmie is the best ex easily. It’s weird
