At first I thought there was a strict meta that you had to stick to in order to win. I only saw Mewtwo, Pikachu and Gyarados. But I have the feeling that there are now so many more variations to play against and that encourages you to play different things yourself. I've enjoyed fighting so much more since then. And channels like this one just give a lot of inspiration, thank you!
I think that's one of the coolest things about this game right now. Nothing is absurdly overpowered that it feels like you have no chance of winning. Play well enough, get good enough draws, and you'll have a chance if your deck has a concrete strategy. People say the game has gotten stale, but in reality, most players just haven't explored it enough yet.
Been playing this deck since you came out with the video 2 days ago. It has been absolutely awesome and really made me enjoy the game again while I am waiting for the meta shifts coming with Space-time Smackdown. I swapped 1 Salandit for a 2nd X-Speed just for the additional consistency.
Great content as always! Unlike Scolipede, Muk cant be in the active, get the Wheezing out to poison, Koga, and then Venoshock all in the same turn. Which doesnt seem to matter too much as far as winning, but its such a good feeling play. I dont know if I can give that up for the consistency of stage 1
I’ve been playing this deck with a Tauros and Gio instead of one salandit and the potion and I feel like I have a serious chance in every matchup in the game, including fighting box which on paper should be a nightmare. Tauros+Gio+poison takes out aerodactyl, and muk+Gio takes out marshadow even without the poison
Finished my 5 wins run, I Won 2 with your Wiggly eggs, really fun deck by the way, and then swapped to Charizard and Arcanine for the other 3 wins in a row, I managed to get the last Moltres EX I needed for Charcanine before the event. I did have MANY options for the event, however, didn't want to just rely on my Pikachu EX and Mewtwo EX decks.
Finally muh boi Muk seeing some action. I feared that he was powercrept into oblivion by Scolipede, but i guess the reliability of a phase 1 still counts for something...
muk is reliable to set up cause stage 1, but does come with the unfortunate retreat cost especially on grimer (leaf my beloved). muk also allows for extra deck space and has koga. scolipede has lower energy investment, a better basic and a surprisingly really good stage 1 but it does still come with the normal stage 2 issues, low deck space and reliability (especially when your wall is also a stage 1). you couldn't have run scolipede in the deck in the video partially because youd be losing two deck slots that salandit needed, unless you wanted to give up some other important util. i dont think it's really power creep going on and it's a really interesting choice between the two i think.
27:40 Just because something is in the "social" section doesn't automatically mean you need to be friends to engage with it. Community Showcases, the button RIGHT NEXT TO IT; features both random players as well as a separate section for your friends. I believe it is fully fair if someone were to expect trading to follow suit.
I’ve been playing weezing, salandit, mew for about a week now. Running only dark energy. And it wrecks. Between x speed and koga you can consistently smack 50s with poison on salandit and if it’s a leaf deck you wreck them. Super fast only costing 1 energy and then the mew just in case.
Won my five in a row with Gengar EX, Greninja, Jinx. It sounds weird but is surprisingly okay. The main problem with Gengar EX is damage, so Greninja can lower tanky Pokemon to Gengar range and then Gengar’s ability prevents comebacks once it’s active. Gengar + Jinx is really good into Gyrados, and it can even win against Mewtwo.
i feel like farfetchd is just a better salandit here. deals 40 instead of 50 but doesn't depend on weezing to do damage. are there any matchups where salandit is needed for its type?
mew is weak to dark and super common right now. even in random queue (in my anecdotal experience). imo the extra 10 does a lot to help make your kills consistent more against certain match ups. plus, salandit + gio + poison is an insta-kill on most basic pokemon which tend to have 60hp (although this seems quite situational since you can’t leaf and gio on the same turn, but it is possible).
i mean if you just want to deal 40 damage just use weezing right? salandit isnt in the deck as a duck substitute, it hits important breakpoints (especially against grass decks, it gets up to 90(!) damage on a poisoned grass mon with gio...
I feel like Stage 2s really need to give you A LOT of power (either high HP or strong attacks/abilities) to justify assembling them. And Scolipede's attack is just too situational with only 140HP to lean on.
Hm, Fair. Muk is a stage 1 instead of a stage 2 so inherently less bricky. Maybe I should switch to the Muk build since it’s so comparable in stats but is easier to get on the board and even interacts with Koga. Despite the higher retreat and attack cost.
Really wish there was a low graphical way to open packs. I too often have problems opening packs, either my phone freezes or I can't open the pack cause there is nothing on my screen. The app says my phone should work and I haven't had trouble with actual battles, maybe a little slow down from the full art cards every now and then. :(
I'm encountering a ton of celebi and mewtwo decks in this event, so having this deck would be great. unfortunately muk is the only card I'm missing from GA >_>
Can I ask, how do people find / take part in the tournaments I keep hearing about? Is it just invitationals for big youtubers or is there somewhere people can sign up for them?
I,ve been using this deck with some modifications becausd i dont have 2 kogas lol, also add a sabrina so i could harass. Its really funny and enjoyable. You feel smart after playing it
@@HooglandiaPocket Surely Crobat EX is in the cards! GA gave us zubat --> golbat so surely crobat ex! fits so well too, could be the ultimate bench sniper (basing it off its main game hidden ability infiltrator)
I just beat a deck like this for my 5th streak event. I run a fire deck with 2 moltres, 2 growlith, 1 Arcanine ex, 1 arcanine, and 2 slizzlipede and centiscorch.
The wife distractions are legit. My wife loves to run interference drills. Especially if she’s losing her matches. 😂 She’ll just come to me and beg for my attention or my help for her decks. 😂 Then she’ll try to guilt trip me for winning if I won’t assist her. 🤣🤣
Salandit is a trap. Farfetchd does just 10 less damage, but it has no poison requirements. Unless we get a weezing that has an ability from the bench (possibly even after), salandit is always going to be a gimmick.
It’s Muk Monday folks
This is insane
A fellow jimothycool enjoyer I see
just another muk monday
Followed by Tauros Tuesday.. Oh wait that's every day 😉
This is insane folks

Pokemon has never been as meta heavy as like Yu-Gi-Oh for example

Thank you for being the champion of the rogue decks.
That was fun watching you wife join the video. Love her support and gamer mindset. Great video as always bro
Finally, i can use 2 of the 10 full art salandit copies that i have hahahahahah
wanna donate me one after trading exists?? i got none...
Yeah... I doubt u can trade full arts, right? @@visheshkumar9124
Forge them in fire (acquire the kick ass fire flare)
Great content as always!

Didn’t realize I don’t have a play set of muks thought it was unplayable. Time to use those hour glasses
Or pack points if you have them, I forget about them often
Theres a new set coming out in a week
It’s once again muk Monday folks
I've been playing this since day one of A2, So glad you've given it some much needed publicity! Such a fun deck ☺️
I’ve been playing this deck with a Tauros and Gio instead of one salandit and the potion and I feel like I have a serious chance in every matchup in the game, including fighting box which on paper should be a nightmare. Tauros+Gio+poison takes out aerodactyl, and muk+Gio takes out marshadow even without the poison
10:50 missed lethal. Retreat to Koffing, evolve to Weezing, poison, Kogaa out, put Sandalit back up, attack for win.
I've been using this deck (without salandit) for a long time now, super good, can sometimes play super surprising attacks with muk+poison
Great stuff as usual. Thanks for the content!!
Finished my 5 wins run, I Won 2 with your Wiggly eggs, really fun deck by the way, and then swapped to Charizard and Arcanine for the other 3 wins in a row, I managed to get the last Moltres EX I needed for Charcanine before the event. I did have MANY options for the event, however, didn't want to just rely on my Pikachu EX and Mewtwo EX decks.
Nice, I also got through with Charcanine only took me 8 games
@THEpicND wasn't first try as the game evolves the 5 wins in a row event will only get harder
Finally muh boi Muk seeing some action. I feared that he was powercrept into oblivion by Scolipede, but i guess the reliability of a phase 1 still counts for something...
it honestly counts for A LOT
True, Muk looks pretty cool rn, with the fact it is a phase 1 + that grimmer is very good in toxic combos + koga
muk is reliable to set up cause stage 1, but does come with the unfortunate retreat cost especially on grimer (leaf my beloved). muk also allows for extra deck space and has koga. scolipede has lower energy investment, a better basic and a surprisingly really good stage 1 but it does still come with the normal stage 2 issues, low deck space and reliability (especially when your wall is also a stage 1). you couldn't have run scolipede in the deck in the video partially because youd be losing two deck slots that salandit needed, unless you wanted to give up some other important util. i dont think it's really power creep going on and it's a really interesting choice between the two i think.
Love this deck, thanks for the video!

New koga bounce? Im here for it jeff!
9:07 "hello lovely wife", so cute guys
@10:37 when dear wife becomes a chat incarnate. 😂😂😂
Just got my 5 with this deck, it's mad fun. The Koga shuffle makes for some really cool plays!
Feel smart deck for sure.
19:55 You were super effective so it was more efficient to let stay the weezing i think
Ended up using this build to get the 5-win streak badge. Fun to play and great consistency!
Oh you've got two Koja full art, that's real nice!
I’ve been playing weezing, salandit, mew for about a week now. Running only dark energy. And it wrecks. Between x speed and koga you can consistently smack 50s with poison on salandit and if it’s a leaf deck you wreck them. Super fast only costing 1 energy and then the mew just in case.
Name of enemy GODKILLER, these 2 clowns still proceed and say THEY.
It's about Mukkin' time.
My boy Muk seeing the light
Won my five in a row with Gengar EX, Greninja, Jinx. It sounds weird but is surprisingly okay. The main problem with Gengar EX is damage, so Greninja can lower tanky Pokemon to Gengar range and then Gengar’s ability prevents comebacks once it’s active. Gengar + Jinx is really good into Gyrados, and it can even win against Mewtwo.
This deck looks so cool! Can't wait till I finally get my second Muk :')
i feel like farfetchd is just a better salandit here. deals 40 instead of 50 but doesn't depend on weezing to do damage. are there any matchups where salandit is needed for its type?
mew is weak to dark and super common right now. even in random queue (in my anecdotal experience). imo the extra 10 does a lot to help make your kills consistent more against certain match ups. plus, salandit + gio + poison is an insta-kill on most basic pokemon which tend to have 60hp (although this seems quite situational since you can’t leaf and gio on the same turn, but it is possible).
Play some games against Celebi and get back to me.
He literally explains this though in the video
i mean if you just want to deal 40 damage just use weezing right? salandit isnt in the deck as a duck substitute, it hits important breakpoints (especially against grass decks, it gets up to 90(!) damage on a poisoned grass mon with gio...
Just watch the vid and make up your own mind, I think I saw at least 3 examples of why salandit is better
Finally! A reason to complete my Muk deck!
Is this better than the Scolipede build?
I think so yeah. Two more utility card slots and more consistent to assemble
I feel like Stage 2s really need to give you A LOT of power (either high HP or strong attacks/abilities) to justify assembling them. And Scolipede's attack is just too situational with only 140HP to lean on.
Hm, Fair. Muk is a stage 1 instead of a stage 2 so inherently less bricky. Maybe I should switch to the Muk build since it’s so comparable in stats but is easier to get on the board and even interacts with Koga. Despite the higher retreat and attack cost.
Using Stage 1 Muk instead of Stage 2 Scolipede is easier to get online
I still prefee scolipede, its way faster and easier to manuever, he attacks for 2 energy and has a 2 energy retrearñt cost
This deck looks super fun! I’ve missed ol’ Weezing, and I’ve been looking for an excuse to dust him off and gas him up.
Really wish there was a low graphical way to open packs. I too often have problems opening packs, either my phone freezes or I can't open the pack cause there is nothing on my screen. The app says my phone should work and I haven't had trouble with actual battles, maybe a little slow down from the full art cards every now and then. :(
I'm encountering a ton of celebi and mewtwo decks in this event, so having this deck would be great. unfortunately muk is the only card I'm missing from GA >_>
This video makes me wish I opened more MewTwo packs. 🤣 What a fun idea, very cool. 👍
Better than arbok weezing?
I was thinking of this, just didn’t have the second Muk
Can I ask, how do people find / take part in the tournaments I keep hearing about? Is it just invitationals for big youtubers or is there somewhere people can sign up for them?
LimitlessTCG has open entry events 7 days a week.
@ thanks for the reply man! That’s great news, gonna get on those
I’m surprised to not see a mewEX over 1 one of the salindit as a pilot vs mewtwo/charzard/gary decks as a blowout counter
I,ve been using this deck with some modifications becausd i dont have 2 kogas lol, also add a sabrina so i could harass. Its really funny and enjoyable. You feel smart after playing it
Nothing to do with vid just wanted to say, to this day my favourite deck has and still is bull frog.
Anymore decks that play like that one please bro?
i have been running this since new expansion drop i now feel validated
love the content
Remember not to Muk other people's Yums.
I wonder who will be the first Dark EX added.
If Gen2 is the next set I'd put money on Houndoom and/or Tyranitar.
@@HooglandiaPocket Surely Crobat EX is in the cards! GA gave us zubat --> golbat so surely crobat ex! fits so well too, could be the ultimate bench sniper (basing it off its main game hidden ability infiltrator)
Lucario, tyrannical, weavile
You didn´t miss the win on that second game. You had already played prof (not X, Oak) that turn.
I just beat a deck like this for my 5th streak event. I run a fire deck with 2 moltres, 2 growlith, 1 Arcanine ex, 1 arcanine, and 2 slizzlipede and centiscorch.
Missed Lethal on 11 mins mark
Is this better than scolipede?
Low bar, but yes I think so.
10:40 missed lethal with weez, koga and salandit shuffle.
Saw that chat got it hehe
He couldn´t play koga on that turn, he had played prof already.
Nice deck
33:48 is that a 14 pokemon deck damn
Thought I had a pack opening and checked 😓
That guy used Chatots to fish for Greninjas? 😂
I miss Muk, but Scolipede does make up for it. I'll stay with Scolipede.
This is hardcore.
Sheesh still cooking, set 2 hype lfg
There is so much deck building depth in this starting card pool. New card packs will drop before I get all the ideas uploaded for sure.
Been saying its good
Idk how I got a membership but I'm here for it keep making the prime content
Ive been wondering why people run Scoliopede over Muk. Muk seems way stronger and easier to setup
It's as easy as 2 retreat cost instead of 3, and more importantly the Basic Pokemon not having 3 retreat cost.
Nice feature 👏🏻 I played Poison/Salandit for a few weeks before switching to my new favorite deck.
It was mostly a Weezing pet deck + the little lizard to fight the huge influx of Grass decks
We all missed? No we didn't lol
felt like tcgp hates dark types. retreat costs 3 energy for Muk, Nido deck and especially a basic grimer! a basic!
The wife distractions are legit. My wife loves to run interference drills. Especially if she’s losing her matches. 😂
She’ll just come to me and beg for my attention or my help for her decks. 😂
Then she’ll try to guilt trip me for winning if I won’t assist her. 🤣🤣
King shit
My girlfriend loves to Erika my Weedle. I'm a lucky guy.
MAFO (Muk Around Find Out)😅
Did you guys know that Muk spelled backwards is Twitch Prime?
i hope salandit is more than a gimmick because at first glance it's farfetch'd that's less consistent with marginally better upsides
Salandit is a trap. Farfetchd does just 10 less damage, but it has no poison requirements.
Unless we get a weezing that has an ability from the bench (possibly even after), salandit is always going to be a gimmick.
Hoogland quit muking around.
I’m surprised to not see a mewEX over 1 one of the salindit as a pilot vs mewtwo/charzard/gary/celebi decks as a blowout counter
