Strategy:

So this strategy has been played time and again since the release of Primal Clash and I wanted to play it for the upcoming regionals. For those that don't know the strategy, you're trying to attach a bunch of water energy to Keldeo EX with Blastoise on the first turn. The way to do this is by using Archie's Ace in the Hole for a Turn 1 'Stoise plus 5 cards and then you start swinging with Keldeo EX for big numbers. The deck has a bunch of cards to try and achieve the T1 Blastoise and to rifle through your resources quickly. It's just hoping for an explosive first turn. I've been using this list online for a while and wanted to help improve it further for expanded regionals. Any input helps! Thanks!

As much as tool scrapper helps, its not very good in this deck. Imagine you are trying to go for the turn 1 Archie's and you open with a tool scrapper. You are going first so your opponent doesn't have any tools in play yet so tool scrapper isn't playable so you have to find a way to discard it by playing another card like ultra ball which can be challenging at times when you only open with battle compressor and trainer's mail. I run this deck too in real life. Hope this helped!
 
Ok. I definitely see what you're saying here. Really I only included it for the Garbodor matchups. It seems like a Town Map would be much more useful.

-1 Tool Scrapper
+1 Town Map

Thanks!

Tropical Beach is pretty awesome in this deck, as you'll often find yourself out of cards after a successful Archie's. If you're not attack that turn, Tropical Beach is an amazing way to get a good hand going.

However, they are $100+ dollar cards for American players (assuming you're American as you're posting about expanded regionals.)
 
@TheStrictNein, as much as I would love to own them, I just don't have any Tropical Beach. If they were anywhere for cheap, I'd definitely buy them, but I just can't afford it. Thanks for the input though!
