In today’s video I rank all the new playable cards in our may set Twilight Masquerade! Featuring Bloodmoon ex, Greninja ex & Dragapult ex!
We have fire acceleration... the best fire energy acceleration is actually..... Charizard ex 😂😂😂
Nah best fire acceleration is arceus 🤌🔥🔥🔥
Honestly armarouge still exists
@@Docsfortune it doesnt accelerate. it just moves
@@markyeager3022 it still puts energy in the active that wasn’t there, and doesn’t use your attach for turn. So with magma basin it’s definitely accelerating 1 every turn
Boomerang energy could be fun in Garchomp for the bench snipe attack, although with Greninja ex in the format, there are fewer reasons to consider it now
I already have 2 different Gholdengo decks built just waiting for Sinestcha ex. One that uses more typical draw engines and one that uses the new hyper aroma to get all the Gholdengos up as the engine.
this is actually such a nice idea, i always like to see what people think about the new cards, and this is the perfect video format for that!
I've watched a lot of dragapult ex matches from jp channels and... Not a single one lost to charizard ex. I'm really looking forward to getting this deck. Also, though I love greninja, I think dragapult is a bit better in consistency to setting up, and also better in sniping.
Lugia with legacy energy and wellspring mask (EXPECIALY THIS AS IT SHUFELS IT BACK INTO THE DECK) plus iron hands is scary
Bloodmoon Ursaluna ex will be so powerful, I wonder how many archetypes will run a copy 😎
love this style of video, hope u do it wih future sets!
super looking forward to this new set. I love dragapult but in truth this festival deck seems like a really fun rogue. Also interested to see the potentially catastrophic effects of unfair stamp and secret box.
Perrin could work over Jaqc in Lugia because of the flexibility to get two archeops or one and a lumineon since Jacq only retrieves evolution Pokemon. Could even use it to get a Lugia on a very bad starting hand.
Sinistcha could definitely cook if given the right opportunity- Gholdengo seems like a great pairing for it- and if you are worried about grass energy needing to be pushed out, it’s not great but Alolan Exeggutor V or Hisuian Liligant work in theory (though they’re not done through abilities, unfortunately). I think Sinistcha and its EX counterpart could be played well together for an interesting one-prize attacker + setup for the EX to get a snipe?
Nice way to trigger people to click on the video by putting in the thumbnail palafin in c tier 🤣
I see the festival deck as a perfect deck for secret box. It sets you up pretty nicely as soon you can use it plus it's searchable off Thwackey. Box can also find BBP or bug catcher to find even more of your cards. Plus Max belt doesn't really offer much in the way in math fixing that you can't get in other ways. super effective glasses plus Kieren is 390 to one shot charizard and roaring moon ex, leaving you able to hit something else for between 100 to 390, vitality band 110 twice for 220, defiance band or Kieren for 130 twice takes out iron hands or both hits 320. it isn't a bad option for sure but kind of feels like a waste to me
I think Blazekin with Dragon Koraidon EX might see some play. You hit for 280, it’s can charge in one turn, you can play Max Belt for Charizard, its first attack it’s decent if it doesn’t die instantly after using the second attack. You can play most Fire Big Basics like Entei, Gouging Fire, and Deplhox. You can play RadZard as well. It won’t be top tier, but ChickenBox could be fun. I also think that GrassOgre makes Toedscruel EX playable since it allows you to accelerate energy, damage, and a bit of draw. Finally I believe the way people will play Dragapult EX will likely be a 4-4-3 line with a 3-3 Xatu line for the psychic acceleration.
Finding a card on a long list like this, CTRL+F and it will bring you straight to the card you want no scrolling required.
Definitely not meta, but I think Survival Cast would be the ace spec of choice for Venomth Spidops control decks that item locks your opponents with a 90HP Pokemon. As a whole, I think you did a great job with the tier list LDF. Still think the new Dipplin festival deck could have some more potential with its auto charizard win.
Great idea for future videos 🎉
Ha, did yall notice when it looked like Greninjas arm was dragapult
Wait, what if you put the infernape hole with the fire and fighting ogrepon 🤔
Honestly saw a deck adding that Sinistcha ex to Gholdengo and I think that might be on my list of deck to make next set 🧐
the sinistcha with the legacy energy
is there any more cards left to announce in this set or that's all?
Seeing tera Greninja EX in S makes me so happy! Love Greninja, but man is Greninja EX kind of underwhelming. Damage output can be inconsistent at times (you’re not always gonna have a damage marker on an opponent) and 300 HP hurts it a lot against opponents like Charizard EX.
Was wondering if you were going to slot the baby iron leaves in tier A or B. Shocked it wasn’t included here. It’s really solid in future box according to city league data.
how did you skip monkidori? i think its goign to be very strong.
What is your opinion on a Chien-Pao/Greninja deck?
Praying Pecharunt (ex or no) helps the lousy trio somehow I’d love to play that Fezandipiti
Dark energy accelerate? Could be ex with dark xatu ability
thoughts on Heatran?
Froslass with vespiqueen ex
And ninja ex is hella mid reason urshifu was so good was rapidl strike energy
When does this set come out ? Also that hearthflame mask ogerpon ex that's better then Gouging fire right? So I could replace that with that Also next set is next month ? And what Is that called?
may 24th is official release.
@@tombradshaw1378 ah OK ty
@@aresrain7850 for future reference you can just google it. Prerelease dates show when you can get physical copies of the cards I believe whereas the later date is the official release, or when it becomes legal in standard and is released online.
11:19 I think Teal mask is better than Hearthflame mask (barely). 23:20 between the ogrepons, I think it’s cornerstone, teal, wellspring, hearthflame (in order from best to worst). 25:57 I think Tatsugiri is between greninja and dragapult. 33:28 because Kieran is a supporter and only +20 to ex or V, high a tier but not s tier. Additionally, why no milotic?
Kieran is +30. It changes the math a lot as it is also a switch supporter which screws control
If Iron thorns turned off all abilities then it would be broken, but sinces its only rule boxes it doesn't feel as strong. It's Path to the peak but for 2 prizes.
TM Devo Festival Grounds Goldeen/Swirlix could be funny against some decks lol. Wouldn’t be good though, too inconsistent
Gyrados ex gonna be absolutely broken with froslass Also i cant see greninja being that good for now manaphys a masive problem for it so until manaphy rotates out its kinda mid when manaphys gone though spherical shield rellor will be a problem although you could just bench snipe the rabscas before they set it up
Manaphy is played less and less. People need all bench slots. Also he likes to sit in prizes. Rabsca where?
@@kefireszon 1 if greninja becomes a threat decks start running manaphy way more frequently second if they sit in the prizes is too much of a problem hisuian heavy ball exists and decks can just run 2 manaphy if greninja becomes that big of a threat and they can just snipe the rabsca oft the bench
All these new cards, all I can think about is how I'm gonna update regidrago vstar
Personally, I think you rated Perrin too low. Its pretty situational for sure but its a crazy good combo with the Palafin EX considering you need to keep them in your deck and keep the basics on your bench
Sinistcha ex will be good with Gholdengo Ex.
Hypno and frosslass? 😏
I'm so not used to the word "Twilight" being thrown around everywhere in the TCG lol
are you some sort of my little pony fetishist?
@@e7193 Read my name lol The fact that you immediately jumped to fetishes though says more about your personality than mine if you ask me…
kieran is going to make control weaker also
hyper aroma going in lugia FOR SURE over masterball
but i think people would ultimately choose legacy energy cuz of hands
ldf you could use gardevoir with the fire ogerpon first attack it does 20 for each damage counter.
you can't gardevoir can only use it's ability on psychic pokémons
At that point just use Mimikyu ex
Swirlix has access to TMs, it deserves to be on a higher tier
I think I read somewhere that tms don't work with the double attack ability, im not 100% sure though
I think is because aside for tm devo/evo, it doesn't have good synergy with the fest archetype: using other tms cost 3 energies in a archetype with not much energy accel. Maybe its not that consistent yet
Is worth buying new cards that cannot make a breakthrough at the current meta. 90% of the cards that maybe will be used will make tweaks at the Charizard ex and the 2-3 decks that can make the fight against it, the new dinamics and box something have little to no support to be the new meta. There is no balance in the game
Love your opinions in this video! I would say add some light background music to give a little flare🔥
Disagree, prefer without music 😁
I can't believe my man didn't put the CONK on the list. I'll place within the top 400 at NAIC with it, mark my words. Conk is the future.
Conk and brute bonnet? That will work. I thought of reuniclus and call upon as many possible conk. Just get the brute bonnete make you poisoned, then good to go. 250 easy

Palafin is not going anywhere as long as hands is around. Is also unlikely deck is that consistent.
hands can't os a palafin unless it has 3 iron crown, and even then palafin can play a rigid band to go to 370 pv to force hands to use at least 4 ironcrowns and with a lot of switch cards and 1 free retreater it's easy to "summon" the palafin ex or you can play it with rescue board on palfin + pidgeot V, dudunsparce or heck even a fossil lmao + the switch cards just in case or a decydueye ex with a baloon or gengar
Lol it only needs 2 and future booster. Also, like i predicted, palafin is poo. Blissey and festival are here and there alongside dragapult's domination, but palafin is nowhere to be seen.
WHy isn’t everyone freaking out about luxray ex when we got luxray v a basic that can remove trainers
Luxray ex is a stage 2, so it isn't as fast as Luxray V. It still has a chance to be rather powerful, and to become a cornerstone of a control archetype itself admittedly, but they aren't really the same. The things is that what makes Luxray V scary is that it is easy to set up and easy to bounce back when you need to. It also does minimal damage, meaning you are able to stick something heavy in the active spot, and slowly steal cards from your opponent without worrying about knocking out the utility pokemon you are trying to stall your opponent out with.
Swirlix op, tm machine
The fact that Goldeen can discard energies from your pokemon isn't that good, tbh. As a Garchomp ex player, I DARE someone to use it against me. I'll just retreat to a second Garchomp and re-attach the energy. Goldeen players, bring it!!
Kieran in s tier is cap
Do you think the new Thwackey engine, after being setup, would finally make torterra ex good?
Ffffff I am so hating charizard right now...as I take a charizard deck to locals....lmao
I'm so sad no one is seeing/talking about the synergy between Meowscarada EX and Sinistcha EX
Ngl I wish people would see how op gyrados ex gonna be with froslass
@@ashraplayzshorts if Gyarados was going to be a good deck it already would have popped off. It has everything -- heavy baton, water acceleration with Palkia/Baxcalibur, damage counters with Hawlucha or Gapejaw Bog or things like that... but it just doesn't seem to get play. Would be a fun rogue deck tho. I just don't think Frosslass is what's going to save it
@imaanlatios6790 seems incredibly underrated I played against it once my charizard deck struggled big time
Take my money Pokemon 😂
First!! Yayyy
