Garganacl ex - tank decks ain't common, with this Stage 2 with tanking abilities is just too much.
Raifort - decent card, not just too impactful.
Tinkaton - 3 for Stage 2 is just too much, I wanna KO exs with just cheap efforts.
 
Please tell me that Raifort's in line to get some Full Arts in the near future, I think she's pretty swell as a character/design!
 
Garganacl ex seems very under powered for a stage 2 Pokémon with no same type draw support

Might happen in a future high class set but I wouldn't hold by breathe. Or if it perhaps end up getting another card that actually releases in a set.

I think the idea is too use the new Garganacal from paradox rift to attach and heal.

You gotta keep discarding energies to heal the same ex though, if they can't take out your first garganacl ex. I prefer the one from Paldea Evolved that lets you heal 20 damage between turns. That with the chest plate and Koraidon/ Geeta.

Oh, the healing is a neat bonus, its just for attaching, while intresting Getta/Koridon plus heal 20 seems weaker. Putting a low HP 2P on the board seems sketchy and not using arven/iono/colress or what ever the draw engine is seems gimmicky. Also while attaching 4 energy is good, idk how reliable it is. Cool to try though and both routes sound fun.
 
If we get a Naclstack that does something we could very well see a Garganacl deck in the future. This guy benefits highly from the other 2 Garganacl so having some way to cheat them out or really just have better consistency would go a long way

The ability heal between turns though, so its actually heal 40. Koraidon can be annoying when your opponent do a boss for the 2 Prize KO but Its a bit easier than having to evolve two garganacls for the energy. We can also attach chestplate on Koraidon and add extra switches to the deck. Geeta is just a one off, maybe we can add cards like pickaxe and stickers to help with the acceleration? Just in case we don't get to play Geeta at the desired turn. But, like you said, it'll be fun to try both. ??
