Deck Primer

This is a kingambit deck that uses the 151 starmie to get to those 4 damage counters. The idea is to always have a ko but turn 2. I've seen other decks like this but none are as fast as this one. Go first, then bench a pawniard and 2 starti as a minimum. Then use both starmie, and then use kingambit to take  a big ko. This deck is built to be really turbo, so I'm using mew ex instead of bibarel, potentially losing 2 prizes for that extra speed. Kingambit has has the problem of just getting

This is a kingambit deck that uses the 151 starmie to get to those 4 damage counters. The idea is to always have a ko but turn 2. I've seen other decks like this but none are as fast as this one.

This deck is built to be really turbo, so I'm using mew ex instead of bibarel, potentially losing 2 prizes for that extra speed. Kingambit has has the problem of just getting outpaced, but this deck should be able to keep up with most meta decks. Radiant charizard was added as a finisher.

I kinda feel like I've been cooking lately

I like this. I'll have to use it before that Toescruel gets printed to prevent Rescue Carrier!

CountyGibbon798 thanks, but what is the new toadscruel?

Marco_Ne

CountyGibbon798 never mind, I saw it. I'm not sure how much this  affects the meta, but I know this could be a tech in expanded or GLC with vs seeker and rescue stretcher

Marco_Ne Right now in standard, it stops the energy retrieval cards, Klara, and Rescue Carrier. Without Energy Retireval, Chien-Pao is preactically dead, so it would either become a big choke point for that deck, forcing them to focus energy onto it, or just lose. Depending on how popular it is, I can see Energy Recycler (Battle Styles) getting a bit of use before it rotates.

CountyGibbon798 i hadn't thought about energy retrieval, so yeah I could see recycler being played, as chien pao already has shivery chill. Also I saw that counter catcher is coming back so my game store promos can be used again

Marco_Ne Counter Catcher's gonna be nasty with Forretress ex...

CountyGibbon798 iono and counter catcher up anything is toxic 

plus I playTrevenant V (Evolving Skies) to reduce the hand even more and I'll probably play scovillian ex once it reseases
