Yveltal EX / Mew EX

[Pokemom]

Our youngest: "Mom can you help me build a deck with these cards??"

Experience: Novice

Pokemon

• 1 Yveltal EX
• 1 Mew EX
• 2 Trubbish
• 1 Garbodor
• 2 Sableye
• 1 Giratina
• 2 Venipede
• 1 Whirlipede
• 1 Scolipede
• 1 Sigilyph
• 1 Deino
• 1 Hydreigon

Trainers

• 4 N
• 3 Muscle Bands
• 2 Rare Candy
• 4 Ultra Ball
• 4 Professor Sycamore
• 3 Switch
• 2 Skyla
• 2 Colress

Energy

• 8 Dark
• 6 Psychic

Strategy
I get he wants to use Yvaltal EX, it's new and a few kids offered him to switch it for 3 other EX cards. They all wanted the card, but he got it!

And I think it kind of clever he wants to use Mew EX with it, that way he has two Yvaltal EX cards.

Hydeigon also sounds like a good idea because of the energy switching and because he doesn't have Zweilouse, he wants to put in the Rare Candy.

In the other thread megamaster125 advised to add Sableye and Garbodor
And he liked the idea of putting Psychic in, because he has Sigilyph.
And a lot of junior kids play with just EX cards in their deck.

The other cards he just wants to add, because they are "Very good mom!!"

I think the first step now is to add some trainer cards and lose some of the Pokemon???

You will need to add some trainers and lose some Pokemon, but a few others could help out too. I've gotta go do something right now, but when I get back I'll give you some tips for this deck.

This is actually quite similar to a deck my friend uses; you're not too far off the point here. The biggest thing that needs to be adjusted here is the Pokemon lines, because they're fairly sporadic and don't accomplish much; your trainers can get a bit better, but you're pretty close there too.

-2 Trubbish
-1 Garbodor
-1 Giratina
-2 Venipede
-1 Whirlipede
-1 Scolipede
-1 Mew EX

-9 Pokemon total

There are some cards that could go in here that will make this more consistent, and better over-all. The mew EX is simply better-off being a Yveltal EX. And the Pokemon changes:

+1 Yveltal EX
+2 Yveltal
+1 Darkrai EX
+1 Deino
+1 Zwielous
+1 Hydreigon

+7 Pokemon

Since we took all the psychic types out, let's go ahead and take out the psychic energy and add in some Blend energy (Provides Dark, Grass, Psychic, and Fire). With Darkrai EX (gives free retreat to Pokemon with dark energy) you won't need switch.

-6 Psychic
-3 Switch
+4 Blend GRPD

Total -5 cards.

7 cards left, we've got some stuff we need to add:

+1 Dowsing Machine/Computer Search
+1 Super Rod
+3 Dark Patch

Dark patch is a great card for getting energy on the board, then Hydreigon can move them around. Super rod is here because we've got lots of different pokemon, but only 1 or 2 of most of them. The ace spec cards are really powerful and help out a lot.

We have 2 spots left, and I'm about to make it 4.

-1 Ultra Ball
-1 Muscle Band
+2 Max Potion
+1 Virizion EX or Keldeo EX
+1 Victini EX or Shaymin EX or Sigilyph

Max potion are great, because you can move all of the energy off of a Pokemon, heal it, then put them all back on. Keldeo EX and Virizion EX both keep status conditions off of the board. Victini EX OHKO's Virizion EX and Genesect EX, so if those are a problem you can put Victini in. Shaymin EX is very powerful for late game, and since he is grass he is good against Keldeo decks. If Keldeo or Genesect decks aren't too popular, you can just use another Sigilyph.

Boy, that was a mouth full. To make it all easier to digest, I'll put all the edits right here:

-2 Trubbish
-1 Garbodor
-1 Giratina
-2 Venipede
-1 Whirlipede
-1 Scolipede
-1 Mew EX
-6 Psychic
-3 Switch
-1 Ultra Ball
-1 Muscle Band
+1 Yveltal EX
+2 Yveltal
+1 Darkrai EX
+1 Deino
+1 Zwielous
+1 Hydreigon
+4 Blend GRPD
+1 Dowsing Machine/Computer Search
+1 Super Rod
+3 Dark Patch
+2 Max Potion
+1 Virizion EX or Keldeo EX
+1 Victini EX or Shaymin EX or Sigilyph

And that's it! Hope this helps!

We swapped a Darkrai EX today!
So he's upgrading his deck:
- 1 Switch
+ 1 Darkrai EX

And we're keep on looking for those dark patches.
