Just realize I misspoke on Pawmot's ability. Electrogenesis grabs energy from the deck, not the discard pile.

I think it may have made more sense to include the Electric Fist Pawmot in this deck as it hits for only 2 energy, doesn’t discard all of them, and hits the bench to set up Zapdos. Granted, that’s probably still not great but I think it has more actual synergy if nothing else.

While I agree with your Pawmot choice, switching Pawmots on this build is the equivalent of putting a bandaid on a broken leg. I almost would have been more okay with Pokemon marketing this as an accessory pack to the League Battle Deck than to try and pass this off as a standalone deck.

I would love to see Pawmot EX instead of Zapdos EX, and Skeledirge EX instead of Ninetales EX in the two new Deluxe Battle Decks. I guess Pokemon are saving those lineup in their money-making collector products.

I understand that Zapdos and Ninetales are more popular Pokemon than Pawmot and Skeledirge, but your picks would have worked much better from a playability standpoint than what Pokemon picked this time 🤦♂️

Zapdos is alright. You can add some of the stuff from Zapdos to the Miraidon League Battle Deck. Why Ninetales of all things was picked is beyond me.

I’ve said it a few times in the comments now but Zapdos is more of a Miraidon League Battle Deck accessory pack than a standalone deck. Ninetales is…certainly a popular Pokemon that might sell more copies of decks than something more relevant to today’s meta. But every deck beyond level 1 there’s an expectation that these can be upgraded to be competitive and Ninetales’ competitive viability in the current meta is basically zero. Both are disappointing in their own ways

The ninetales deck looks fun, if not competitive. Which with those level of decks, I guess makes sense

Sadly, of the level 2 decks available, I think Ninetales is the most complete deck out of the box. You get a complete line of the primary attacker and a lot of cards that support its very specific game plan. Unfortunately, even if this deck were fully upgraded, Ninetales is just too inherently inconsistent and they payoff isn’t worth the trouble most of the time. I need to make a video on this because I feel like Pokemon could be doing better with the level 2 line. I understand that this isn’t supposed to be as competitive as a League Battle Deck, but I think all of the Deluxe decks so far have fallen short for one reason or another. - Meowscarada is a great level 2 archetype that could be a solid rogue-tier deck when fully-upgraded. However, no Rare Candy or Double Turbo Energy make it brutal to even set up. - Quaquaval has enough pieces to set up decently, along with a Baxcalibur line that is great in more competitive decks. However, setting up multiple stage 2’s is messy and Quaquaval ex is not a great attacker with basically no competitive connotations. - Zapdos is basically an accessory pack for the Miradion League Battle Deck but largely not-functional as its own deck. - Ninetales is basically a complete deck (I’d nitpick and want stuff like Magma Basin, Copycat, and Raihan in there but that’s splitting hairs), but Ninetales has no competitive future Again, I don’t think these need to just be level 3 decks. But these could be so much better if they fine-tuned these to be more functional out-of-the-box and/or have a higher competitive ceiling.

Is the Zapdos & Ninetales exactly the same as the ones you pull from 151 packs? They aren't promos or cosmos foil variants or anything like that?

I’ve been testing it out, both the deck unmodified and my own build of it and IMO, it’s too inconsistent and the payoff isn’t big enough for what it does. If I can come up with something that is at least fun in a casual environment, I’ll make sure to share it!

Great breakdown. I think the term: "It's a Miraidon Ex League Battle Deck accessory pack" sums up Zapdos perfectly. It surprised me that Ninetales featured Arezu as the supporter card. Copycat was used in the Noivern V battle deck and would have great synergy, but I guess incoming rotation might affect it's long term ability to play in the standard format.

Copycat almost certainly got nixed due to rotation :(
