I really love Tsareena V's attack and overall strategy in Expanded, as it's one of the few archetypes that can not only make use of, but remove the dead 2-prize support liabilities that you see in practically every deck in Expanded. I also completely overlooked Ogerpon as a turbo option, as I'm stuck with the outdated vision of Tapu Koko Prism lol. I also appreciate that you made it Live-Friendly!
As for an actual suggestion, do you think that lumineon V is better than Lele here? The main reason being that it can make use of FSS. I'd also max out on stretchers, as you can also use them to recover your Dede-Lele-Bat core and reuse their abilities after you discard them each time, something which again, can't be utilized with most other strategies.
CountyGibbon798 Thanks, I noticed there aren't many beginner-friendly Live Expanded decks out there so I've been trying to put a few out (maybe to sneakily get more newbies to learn to play Expanded >:]). I totally agree that the deck could use more Stretchers but I'm not sure what to cut to fit them in, what would you suggest?
Generally situations where Lumineon will be in play but no Crobat or Tsareena seem pretty uncommon, but so do situations where Tapu Lele has to attack - I think they're probably both just as good as one another here so it's mostly a matter of preference in my opinion.
4 Iono and 4 research might be a bit much, but I guess without VS Seeker you have to run a higher concentration of supporters. Removing one from either to make space for another stretcher might work. I might also use Air Balloon over Switch since it can be used more than once. The only pokemon that doesn't fully benefit from it is Giratina, but Guzma and Prime Catcher can make use of it.
"maybe to sneakily get more newbies to learn to play Expanded >:]"
I respect it. Greatly.
Personally, the playstyle of PTCGL is so different that it's basically a different format, but your mentality is definitely a start. Expanded needs more love.
Gibbon is right about 4-4 of research and Iono being excessive, I would remove 2 iono instead of 1 of either because you are running Giratina which wants to be discarded and all basic pokemon, so no unfortunate stumpy discards. 6 draw supports is still plenty. That way you can max stretcher.
I don't know too much abt the meta in PTCGL, but this deck is well built enough to combat most of what I would imagine.
Personally I would use Lele over Lumineon because of not only the crazy unlikely chance of not having a tsareena in play, but also having no weakness, which does wonders when the opponent is running hands. Again, Idk what ppl run in PTCGL so take that with a grain of salt.
Good Quality
Gengar lost origin (couldn't find the link)
Can be another Pokemon you can instant revive as well asExeggcute (Plasma Freeze)
Iplaylostbox PTCGL's Expanded only goes back to Sun and Moon base, so I can't use Eggy :( Otherwise that would be a great inclusion.
that sucks
