Deck Primer

Finally made a deck with Venusaur ex (151)  that doesn't take ages for you to attack and can do so without sacrificing any prize card whatsoever.

Strategy to Play

Setup Arceus VSTAR (Brilliant Stars)  and use Arceus Starbirth ability to set up Pidgeot ex (Obsidian Flames)  and Serperior VSTAR (Silver Tempest) . Use Trinity Nova to accelerate energy to Serperior VSTAR (Silver Tempest) 

Next turn switch out Arceus VSTAR (Brilliant Stars) to Serperior VSTAR (Silver Tempest)  and

Finally made a deck with Venusaur ex (151)  that doesn't take ages for you to attack and can do so without sacrificing any prize card whatsoever.

Strategy to Play

Setup Arceus VSTAR (Brilliant Stars)  and use Arceus Starbirth ability to set up Pidgeot ex (Obsidian Flames)  and Serperior VSTAR (Silver Tempest) . Use Trinity Nova to accelerate energy to Serperior VSTAR (Silver Tempest) 

Next turn switch out Arceus VSTAR (Brilliant Stars) to Serperior VSTAR (Silver Tempest)  and attack with Serperior. At this stage you should have at least 1 Venusaur ex (151) ready to go by the next turn and set up the second venusaur ex within the next couple of turns

Use Serperior VSTAR (Silver Tempest)  Regal Blender to attack and then move all the energy from Serperior VSTAR (Silver Tempest)   to Venusaur ex (151)  and next turn free retreat the Serperior VSTAR (Silver Tempest)  and promote Venusaur ex (151) .

Now you might be asking there is 2 highly damaged Pokemon sitting on the bench waiting to be boss ordered, there is 2 Leafy Camo Poncho (Silver Tempest)  to prevent this so they are gonna be safe on the bench and getting healed up by Venusaur ex (151) 's tranquil flower) ability. ideally  Venusaur ex (151)  should be healing each other.

With Big Air Balloon (151)  both Venusaur ex can move in and out bench freely and heal 120hp per turn and Serperior VSTAR (Silver Tempest)  has a free retreat and so does Pidgeot ex (Obsidian Flames)  making it extremely hard to KO a single target in 1 turn if they miss a KO you can heal up more than half of the damage.

There is 2 stadium cards to bump Path to the Peak (Chilling Reign) Town Store (Obsidian Flames) also gets you Big Air Balloon (151) and Leafy Camo Poncho (Silver Tempest)  Pidgeot ex (Obsidian Flames) Blustery Wind to knock out the stadium cards you don't like for a cost of 1 Double Turbo Energy (Brilliant Stars) and the deck is running 4 copies of it.

I haven't done extensive testing and only played few games but the deck feels and sequences better than my other Venusaur ex deck.

Modifications

you can probably use V Guard Energy (Silver Tempest)  in there to prevent 1HKO from the likes of Giratina VSTAR (Lost Origin)  where they can boss up Pidgeot ex (Obsidian Flames) .

Use your choice of radiant Pokemon between  Radiant Greninja (Astral Radiance) (if you feel like you lack draw power)  Radiant Hisuian Sneasler (Lost Origin) (to do 20 more poison damage extra per turn) Radiant Alakazam (Silver Tempest) (to move the damage and finish the KO incase they retreat a pokemon to bench) or Radiant Tsareena (Silver Tempest)(to heal 20 more damage from all your Pokemon per turn)  depending on how you see fit.

Give it a test and let me know how it goes and what improvements can be made.

sry keyboard glitched. But nice deck maybe add some lost vaccums to get rid of path as it blocks bassically your whole draw engine.

Fun deck to use, it's missing a draw engine though

dragon1239s  Glad you didn't have a stroke. You can discard the stadium with Pidgeot ex (Obsidian Flames)

Hello! I've been testing out the Scream Tail Gardie setup, and I feel like this deck might not heal fast enough to deal with it. The VStars and Pidgeot are all in range of a Tail with Booster Capsule, even undamaged. That said, it can't really help that, and otherwise looks like it can handle most other decks like DarkZard and Moon. Blender does enough damage to donk a TurboMoon, and so would Arceus with justified gloves, but that's a card that only Arceus would be using so it's up to you.

Wait, I forgot about my Manaphy counter. What I usually do is drom an Avery and destroy somebody's engine, but this deck doesn't need much. U less I drop it, like, turn 2, you'll have one venasaur setup and another almost there, and won't need the Arceus or Serperior anymore. If I Avery after that point, you discard the Arceus and Serperior and leave Manaphy, Pidgeot, and Venasaur number 2. I usually don't get Avery that early, so this deck feels pretty solid to play and difficult to beat. 

 

It does have fire weakness, but that isn't too much of a problem really because you can attack with Arceus.
