what do u guys think, i love the concept of oh ho EX decks. its fun and "cheap" but not very consistant yet imo. but will Victini EX help consistanty? i think it will.

Victini-EX – Fire – HP110
Basic Pokemon

[R] Energy Turbo: Search your deck for two Basic Energy cards and attach them to your Benched Pokemon in any way you like. Shuffle your deck afterwards.
[R][C][C] Rising Burn: 50+ damage. If the Defending Pokemon is a Pokemon-EX, this attack does 50 more damage.

Weakness: Water (x2)
Resistance: none
Retreat: 1

When I think of this card, I think of it as Bouffalant with 10 more hp,a fire type, and a Energy gaining attack in place of his Eviolite-like ability. Oh yeah, and it's an EX.
To me, that doesn't sound better at all, even with victory piece. (Because you can only have one, and tool scrapper is here. From what I remember right now, the only way to get it back is either Sableye or that one Ace Spec called Dowsing Machine.)

To me this is infinitely better than bouffalant, because you have the potential pretty easily with skyla to search out your victory piece, and then to attack with it's first attack. How is it not broken to have 3 energy in play at the end of your first turn (including your manual attachment). I like this card a lot and think it will certainly be used in many decks. I see this card as an improved terrakion EX, and like it a lot. It sound pretty good in ho-oh decks but I doubt it will be a cheap card once it comes out, making the deck (ho-oh, assuming you play victini EX and victory piece) much less affordable. To me, this card is great, but not supposed to be used really for it's second attack, unless you have the chance to donk.

Well, remember that by the time this comes out, Keldeo will already be there. But really, I don't think this is worth it. Like Infinity said, 2 energy for 2 prizes? Is that a good trade?
 
I think you're better off just relying on Ultra Ball and Juniper to discard the Energy and Ho-Oh EX, while you attack with Terrakion or another Pokemon instead of spending turns charging up for an 80-damage attack. While in theory this looks good, the damage output and Ho-Oh's low HP sets this deck up for some huge KOs...for your opponent. All of your Pokemon can be 2HKO'd, and with a Weakness to Water when Keldeo/Blastoise will be getting popular isn't fun. Just as Infinity said, Victini just isn't worth it.
 
All I could see this being used in is a Six Corners/Multitype/Quad type deck, as you can set up a T2 ANYTHING with ease.
 
Victini EX is actually a good idea.
Ho oh EX is soooo good because of it's ability to set up within 2 turns.
You have a Ho oh EX on the bench with only 3 energy attached to it and you want to quickly attach more energy to it.
You have a victini EX up and you attach a energy and use it's first attack.
Within 2 turns, you have like 8 energy attached to it.
Play skyarrow, retreat, SSU, discard it or play it down and put it to use with a different Ho oh, and on T3 you have an EX doing 160 every turn.
It's worth trying.

^ This. If someone figures out how to make Vileplume/Stuff good, this would be an great lead. It is a free two prizes though, so I'm not sure it would even be worth it.

Not really, the point of Vileplume attackers would be to OHKO common metagame cards for little energy on basics. Considering all your attackers should only need 1-2 energy, just use Prism, Blend, and even Energy Search. Victini would be better for toolbox decks that use more energy per attacker and can't always keep up with manual attachments alone, although tbh Terrakion EX might work better because even though it needs more energy and only attaches from the hand, it can do other stuff and has a lot more hp.
 
Actually, Victini EX can work as a way to get Terrakion EX loaded. T2 Terrakion EX Pump Up Smash will be really easy to get, and then you just attach energies anywhere. Victini is a huge Target, but it can always be SSU'd. Even w/o that, if they KO it, it takes their focus of your Terrakion EX/Terrakion swarm.
 
Victini ex is a amazing card it means u can rev up a keldeo ex in 2 turns and if u play it as your first pokemon it takes time for your opponent to attack u as well and one u have your keldeo ready u can use rush in and start hitting 130 straight away or if u play in a quad siglyth deck u can rev up mewtwo and start doing more so victini has the possibility to make any deck even better
