Deck Primer

Suggested by @Kard Knight to make an upgraded Charizard ex League Battle Deck. The 50 HP Pidgey's can easily be upgraded to the 60 HP's and getting the Dusknoir Line is pretty cheap IRL and in TCGL. This deck isn't the best build for Zard but it is an upgrade of the League Battle Deck that makes it more viable.

Strategy: Basically the same as any other strategy I gave for my other Zard lists, blow yourself up with Dusknoir to force your opponent to take prizes. Pidgeot helps search your deck out for a card, Zard does more damage for each Prize Card your opponent has taken which does 30 more with Defiance Band if you're behind on Prizes. Briar can help win games if your opponent is at 2 Prizes left. I'd recommend you'd use the Dudunsparce Build or the Zard and Pidgeot Build instead of this deck if you have the right cards. Anyways, feel free to make any changes or leave any suggestions. https://pokemoncard.io

Only use this if you don't have enough credits to upgrade to either Post-Rotation decks for Charizard ex. Otherwise, why are you even looking at this one?

LimeLemon Would the Jacq here also be replaced for Brock's Scouting for this one?

Seems for some reason I had this unlisted instead of Public. My apologies and it has been fixed now.
