I'm a casual but passionate TCG player with a big focus on Pokémon. My goal is to share my interest in the game with others, make some weird decks, and maybe inspire others to start playing too.

Rotation is on its way, but that doesn't mean you can't get started on building a solid base for whatever deck you choose to build. Most of these cards here will always be playable in the Standard format, or be available for the next 2-3 years. 0:00 - Intro 1:10 - Evergreen Staples 3:51 - Expansion Staples 7:82 - Situational Staples 9:12 - How much does it cost?

oh my god my favorite silly raider is now here to teach about my new hobby
wow nice drak
I don't often watch these videos, nor have I watched your content a lot recently with my waning interest in FFXIV. But I just wanted to say that I appreciate the work you do and your attitude to games. Hope you're doing well.
Looks like a fun format. Seems to breath some new life into cards that might be considered bad or outclassed.
Just cashed in the 700(ish) code cards ive been hoarding over the last 12 years on the online tcg. I used the credits from duplicate cards to buy everything I need to build a Chien Pao deck. Been having a lot of fun with it and just cracked ultra league. Thanks for the advice 🤙
Should say as a fellow builder from other card games, YOU DO AN AWESOME JOB explaining everything. Great work.
Thanks! I appreciate the encouragement. Looking to do more in the future!
I'm newer to tcg and I've built 5 decks so far. I feel like I'm far enough along that what I've built is ok for just me and one of my friends. We're not diehard to the point of playing competitively. We're just having fun. I tend to lean towards a lot of healing through tool and item trainers and choosing Pokemon that can deal out damage to my opponents bench. So keeping my HP up, while destroying all of my opponents HP. It's worked ok so far. Nemona and Nemonas backpack have proven to be pretty useful to me for just drawing from the deck and recycling from my discard pile, and of course I have some trainers in there to search energy and pokemon.
Very nice! I like healing too. Goodra VSTAR was a favorite deck of mine for a while. Now Torterra ex and Eldegoss with the "Wafting Heal" ability from Temporal Forces. Then Twilight Masquerade gave us the Bug Catching Set which helps grass type decks. In any case, I'm glad you're havin' a good time!
Deck list?
2:10 at the end of the intro :)
Have you tried using Gardenia's Vigor for Energy acceleration instead of the Arceus?
I haven't, but that could work as well. I just have a love/hate relationship with that card because when it's in my hand, the energy isn't. Also only being able to attach to the bench is a drawback, but I also haven't experimented with potential pivoters either. I might try and think of something, though!
Just played against this deck, it's so overlooked. Especially the 200 damage from Goodra and damage reduction were soooo annoying
Goodra is a rough deck to go against on its own, honestly. Giratina VSTAR stopped it from really shining, but I went against an Arceus/Goodra deck with Regidrago and had no answers lol. Especially since Goodra has a 100% heal once per game. Just oof.
First deck???? I'm a lifelong mtg player. My wife and I are trying pokemon. We typically build decks from packs or common lots only. All the vstar and ex cards would need to be bought as singles I'd think. Even the less powerful ones require multiples of the basics and stage 1 and 2 to be effective. Just seems harder to build a deck without buying a pre-made one or singles.
There are definitely a few pre-made ones that will help you get on your feet. The great thing about Pokemon, though, is that the singles are typically very cheap. If you haven’t seen it, I’d recommend the staples video I put up cuz those will be useful across all decks. Then just pick and choose more specific ones based on the decks you want. Feel free to ask any questions, though! Otherwise, good luck with your Pokemon journey. :)
Same, I’ve been playing Magic for a few years but my nephew has been collecting Pokemon for equally as long and wanted to learn to play, so I recently learned and took him to pick out a starter deck and we used his collection to upgrade it. If you’re starting out I would suggest buying two of the same, or just two starter decks and combine them and add singles from there. Good thing about Pokemon over Magic is that most people collect and not play, so you can find a lot of useful cards pretty cheap
Could you make an expanded version of this?
I will consider it! I don't play that format as much and only really got into the game around the 25 year anniversary. I will look into it, though!
@@DrakDecks be nice because there's no video going in depth about expanded meta
Is catcher banned ? It's a non supporter boss orders
Pokémon Catcher and Counter Catcher are legal. I didn't include them here because they're conditional which can make things inconsistent. They're still good in the right decks, though!
I wasn't sure about watching this video the moment you mentioned that you weren't good at explaining things but you proved me wrong and I'm glad I stayed I learned the most out of your video than any other I've seen.
I've got my own Pokemon TCG mentor to thank for that! He really helped me piece together the structure for this vid. Trying to keep it all in mind for future videos. I'm glad it helped, though! Let me know if you have any other questions.
Love playing the TCG, but i also have no friends or people close to me who enjoy playing. So i get my fix with the TCGL
15k views and only 20 comments?
Getting interaction on this channel has been hard :( But it also happened with a tutorial I helped another channel with. People really seem to gravitate towards educational content but very few interact with it. Hoping that changes over time. Always trying to keep up with new comments, though, to answer any questions.
My interest in pokemon overall has come back STRONG lately. To the point that I'm actually looking at trying out the TCG when I've honestly NEVER played the tcg before.
If you haven't seen them, I've got a few tutorials on the channel that people seem to enjoy. Also happy to answer any questions you may have here, cuz it's a blast to play imo :)
@@DrakDecks I DID watch the tutorials, yes. Might have to hunt them down and watch them again. Been playing online and I enjoy the Zoroark and Chien-Pao structure decks provided. Regarding your discussion of deck building, I actually managed to make my own "Darkrai Turbo" deck (of it can be called that lol). Still need to fine-tune it, though, as I feel I'm struggling even in the test matches against the AI with the structure decks.
@@jameshewitt4706 That's a fun one! Yeah, the AI is... not great. What I use those matches for is checking my first few turns to see if my strategy can pop off consistently. After turn 5 or so there isn't much to gain from the AI. They just make really dumb decisions lol. But yeah, great way to find holes in your build and refine your numbers before taking it against real opponents.
@@DrakDecks the deck has been hit or miss. Primary core of Darkrai Vstar (so far only have one copy of that, sadly), 3 Hydreigon, and 2 Hoopa. Hoopa has a 1-energy attack to fish a Dark energy straight from my deck and attach it to one of my pokemon. And Hydreigon's ability excavates 3 cards from the top of my deck and automatically attaches ANY energy found there to my pokemon before discarding the rest. Add on the 1 attach from hand plus Dark Patch, Energy Sticker, and Squakabilly; and I can get a lot out if things work.
I think poket could be good when you would on travel version would be usefull but tcg live is good when you at home and play with friends twin strategy to go only my suggestion.
Having a charizard with the 'burn brightly' ability on the bench has been SOOO OP for me. It makes every fire energy be worth two, essentially halving energy costs
Does Pokemon have a draft format?
Kind of. They have prerelease "build and battle" boxes that come with a special promo card and a pack of, I think, 40 predetermined cards. Then they also give you 4 packs to pull from. You put a deck together of 40 cards and play with 4 prize cards iirc. Never actually been to a store that supports it, but I believe those are the rules.
I don't play and am just peeking in as a curious outsider. The algorithm served this to me because I watch VGC and also play FFXIV I guess? But as someone who has played MtG on and off for a billion years, it does seem very strange to release a mobile game and have TCG Live and have no integration between the two. I didn't like the effect Arena had on MtG as a whole.
Arena didn't do anything. Hasbro killed mtg and people just wanna play EDH.
@@shaggyg6488 I believe Arena affected the ways in which cards were designed because they had to be easy to handle for the game.
@@Kasaaz you don't know what you are talking about boo.
I really dont have any idea on pocket... Its probably meant to make pokemon tcg simpler but the TCG is already probably the simplest of all the tcgs to the point that its not going to hook hard core players like myself. But I do have a fear it is going to be so simple that it doesn't show what makes Pokémon such a great game
Ive been a collector since 6 years old. Never learned how to play until 20 years later. Why have i not learned sooner? This looks so fun
It really is! I hope you enjoy it!
I have 2 stacks of code cards in case they let us scan the codes for TCG pocket packs
Same! I started hoarding them when I saw the trailer, haha
Acho pouco provável, já que para manter o jogo eles vão ter que vender pacotes dentro do jogo. Então eles não vão perder por isso.
oohhh good idea
Not commenting often on youtube. But i need to say my two cents for the length of the videos. I really like longer videos for this channel and enjoy watching them^^
Noted!
I run my own version of this deck as my 1st ever deck and I have won most of my games so it's a op deck
Well done! Super helpful even in the new meta
Watched video and felt cheated for 1.33 minutes.
The intro is the same in both videos just to get the information out. Don't worry, they are separate games lol
An excellent video! Glad to see this content again :)
We are losing escape rope with rotation with no reprint in sight so far
Ah, I thought we'd gotten one in the F block. That's my bad.
I got the exact same earlier! Absolutely buzzing. Was hoping for a Zard, blown away by the full alt art set in one pack
good video. I want to build a pickachu deck.
I have more then 7000 POKEMON BASIC ENERGY CARDS 2023 SVEen 001 to 008. I'm trying to figure out what they are worth and how to sell them. These came from a comic book store, I assume they opened packs of cards to find the more valuable card and sold theses separately. I do not want to small lots but I may if can make money selling small lots. I listed them in an ebay auction starting bid $200 for the whole lot of 7000 and it did not even one view.
can you. donate me battle academy set please
Sick
i dont even have these but this shit is just incredible. ggs man
Congrats on the pull~
Good shit my guy!!
13:30 me, who watches these videos for the card art and draks personality: bold of you to assume I know what the bench is in the first place
You mentioning coin flips makes me think about how I've been playing the Game Boy Pokemon TCG game on and off. Man, that game has so many things dependent on coin flips, it's so painful. Worst thing is that results seem to be set at the start of your turn, so I can't even cheese it with the rewind feature of the Switch version. Never really played the actual game, but I imagine it isn't really like that now.
Love the deck might build it irl cause the bisharp line is cool
Bro, I want to see if I would actually get banned.
Thanks I hate it, will definitely craft this on purpose.
I've been trying to get a GLC/E4 little tournament going for my locals, I think the kids would really get a kick out of it. Elite Fourmat is too good of a name to not have a format assigned to it though :P
"I like to be disruptive, thats roght up my alley" Drak would be a perfect blue player in mtg with all the spells it has to say no to a other players😂
For MTG content, I'd be fine with that on either of the channels just would probably need a link over to Mr. E's if that does come out to go support them as well. Also that was some nice new cards. Glad they are still making unique card effects like the toedscruel and not just recycling old ones.
