in the last game @40:00 I could've locked up the game by using my VSTAR to recover Prime Catcher and using it to Goodra another Ogerpon for 200, protecting my only VSTAR and setting up for a guaranteed 6 prize Dragapult on the following turn.
Was going to say the same, only onto Fez instead of Oger since there's no Teal Dance retreat and also can be Kyurem'd on the bench if needed later. IMO I think the play was either Goodra and hold VStar (since he only has one gust left so no double gust KO), or if you're not going to Goodra that turn, then you need to burn the VStar because whiffing a VStar off of prizes if you Kyurem means no Legacy Star probably for the rest of the game. I probably would have VStarred for Prime/Boss or Prime/Bundle to get extra gusts for Rad Zard OHKOs on another two-prizer later. Not sure what resources you had left, but my ideal line there would have been VStar Prime/Boss (if there's one in discard) -> Boss/Prime Fez, hold research for next turn, Goodra the Fez, and then if you don't get Iono'd you have gust Squawk -> Phantom Dive for 6 prizes. Even if you get Iono'd and he swings with Drago, you can Phantom Dive 4 prize the Oger/Fez and return KO Drago with Rad Zard next turn (Phantom Dive + Combustion Blast = 290 through 2 Goodras, enough for KO). Edit: another line could have been Gust Phantom Dive Squawk/Oger for 4, put at least 3 on Drago for a Rad Zard setup, and force him to either gust the other V and Goodra to survive Rad Zard/Lost Impact, or Lost Impact the active and die to Rad Zard/Lost Impact next turn. If you're taking 4 prizes you probably unlock another V Star. You can also Bundle/Gust a 2 prizer for a Rad Zard/backup Drago KO. I also found the use of Prime to switch in the Cleffa to be a bit too greedy, as if Paolo didn't whiff the attack after his VStar (which I would have assumed he was going for with how aggressively he was setting up), you'd be down a Drago anyway and that energy attach would have been wasted. Saving the Prime also could have given you an out to a Rad Zard Prime return KO on Fez/Squawk to unlock another VStar from the prizes and even the prize trade with a one-prizer if he hit the ESwitch. Overall super fun game to watch!
You can ogerpon with no cards in deck btw as its a seperate sentence to the attach energy part. Just wanted to comment that so more people can know this!

Loving this type of content man. Planning on playing drago to san antonio so this has been so helpful
Good luck at the tournament!
Some ancient box with blender would be pretty cool.
commenting right away! love this content !!!! don't stop !
Would love to see pult thorns, I’m locked in to it for Birmingham so would love to hear some of your insight on it 😊
Not enough content creators play the best decks, they are always playing meme decks so it's refreshing to see the best deck be played
I’m happy to see u play drago the other deck I’d like to see is slow garde
What great content! Excuse my ignorance but is Hawlucha good vs Gholdengo as it drops them to 250 so you can rad Zard them?
Gholdengos weak to fire
@@DrpressureGOATah yeah, I can’t see how Lucha makes a big difference then?
do you wish you had temple at all? another good vid, love the drago content
It would be nice but I think there’s larger issues than Lugia. Just hope they brick.
I think gholdengo always play switch with the palkia, but they dont without it
What league do you go to in the GTA, would love to get a match in together.
I go to kanzen games every Friday at 6:30!
What's about try Ceruledge ex? I would love to see you try on it.
