Deck Primer

So Temptoral Forces is coming out in a few weeks and I've been looking through the list on justinbasil.com, and I spotted this cool-looking card and thought, "I need to make a deck about this!"

Before I explain the deck though, here are the proxies: 

Drilbur (FST) = Drilbur (TEF)

Raikou V (BRS) = Raging Bolt ex (TEF)

Battle VIP Pass (FST) = Buddy Poffin (TEF) 

I know Galarian Zapdos will rotate two weeks after Temptoral Forces comes out, but I'll get to it when it happens. You can find all

So the general concept of this deck is very similar to the Chien-Pao Baxcalibur deck. You need to get Raging Bolt ex charged up with energy, discard it with the attack, then loop it around with Garganacl. Drilbur can get energy in your discard which can help, and it can tank a hit where your opponent can only take 1 prize. Iron Hands ex is there too. Enjoy!
