Deck Primer

Strategy:

Arcanine EX is also known to be Charizard ex (Genetic Apex)'s not so famous brother, but it can pack a punch by itself. I'll be comparing it to Charizard EX a lot, since both Decks have a similar strategy, taking Moltres EX as their core Energy accelarator. 

Arcanine EX takes less Energies, than Charizard, to attack, for a pretty similar amount of damage. It may have 30 less HP than its brother (so it gets OHKOd by Mewtwo ex (Genetic Apex)'s Psydrive),

Strategy:

Arcanine EX is also known to be Charizard ex (Genetic Apex)'s not so famous brother, but it can pack a punch by itself. I'll be comparing it to Charizard EX a lot, since both Decks have a similar strategy, taking Moltres EX as their core Energy accelarator. 

Arcanine EX takes less Energies, than Charizard, to attack, for a pretty similar amount of damage. It may have 30 less HP than its brother (so it gets OHKOd by Mewtwo ex (Genetic Apex)'s Psydrive), but it also gets 2-HKOd by Pikachu ex (Genetic Apex) and Starmie ex (Genetic Apex)...

HOWEVER, it can OHKO Pikachu EX and, with Giovanni, it can also OHKO Starmie EX - living with just enough HP (if it hasn't been crippled by other Pokémon before) to not get KOd. This is why the number of Potions is so low here, but its good to keep just one to break some ties.

This is a Fossil Variant of the deck, so it is running Old Amber, as well as regular Arcanine (which has a pretty similar strategy, taking only 1 Prize when defeated, this time), which are good for Defending your EX Pokémon. Since we're running 2 Old Amber cards and don't need to waste space for Stage 2 cards (unlike Charizard), we can run Aerodactyl, which, if you're lucky enough with its attack, can disrupt your opponent entirely (unless you're against Exeggutor ex (Genetic Apex), but that's not a bad matchup against this Deck, anyway).
