pokemon tcg booster packs so these decks came out a few years ago and then eventually after these decks came out they released this product which sold the deck alongside a few booster packs so we're going to open these boxes up open up all the packs and see who can build the best 60 card deck so i'm going to be taking over with the hoe ex deck from dragons exalted while chip chose the lugia ex deck from ancient origins i think products like this are really cool that like have a deck plus packs plus packs yeah i'm really excited to do this it's going to be a lot of fun the only rules are where you know we play the standard pokemon rules the current rules and we will also be able to add any basic energies we want to the decks afterwards in order to make the deck work better with the cards we get out of the booster packs so sound good blaine that sounds good let's do it let's do it i want to give a big thanks to channel fireball for sponsoring my channel channelfireball.com has a

looks like we got the whole ex legendary battle deck right here it's called the legendary battle deck we'll see how legendary it is other than our holes all right so we got our nice hoe exes i'm sure i'll make you able to make use of those guys and we also get a nice sweet with the safeguard ability also included is a whole coin all right so let's crack this guy open oh we got some nice reverse energy all right so we got a nice assortment of some reverse energy we get a cool vile plume i remember this allergy panic i tried to make it work in a couple of road decks back in the day we got professor juniper which is just rebadged professors research we got vs seeker we got ultra ball best search card in pokemon we got skyla which is just the modern skyla got random receiver we got some other guys i think the most well actually we got n which is going to be even a better reset stamp since it's we get to shuffle in as well let's see is there anything else we got lysander hue ah we were just talking about that rainbow forest xerneas so this is the xerneas that was used in rainbow road so this guy is a pretty powerful weapon uh let's see we got more ultra ball we got some stun fisk and a smeargle and we got a dragon dadenae and some more bioplume and oddish and gloom so then we got these last six packs to open up and add to our deck if we can got some guardian risings we got two of those we got a fates collide uh we got a celestial storm and then two sun and moon packs i'm really hoping to get the popular gx out of these guys that would be really good for for making my deck as consistent as possible to beat you all right let's just start with some fates collide okay well we got a nice menchina to start it off with hopefully we can get the trade since you know but oh never mind we're not opening any of the packs for that guy but we do get another senito that's pretty awesome all right so we get a kangaskhan we get a nice reverse bullaby we get a bronzong and we get some other basics oh two volabies okay all right so now we get to open up the two sun and moon packs oh it's been too long since i've opened i don't know i forgot how all right so we got to tell you about together mario target together together together we'll do it with that i'm sorry i haven't been able to oh we get a nice full art team skull grunt that's pretty awesome cucumber double colorless energy i still can't say togo tomorrow but we'll go with that so sadly this is an amazing card but maybe not so amazing in this format but i guess we'll have to see i might i might want to include it with with that part all right let's get the next one maybe we can go two for two for or two for three in uh ultra rares get a nice core brawler fo mantis a lot of grass types and a nice reverse piggy pack and the rare is going to be a lantern but not a little disappointing but maybe we can make we we got this we got this we got a nice full our team school grunt to make use of all right so now we get to open some guardians verizon there you go okay clefable helioptic oh como gx hopefully we can get his his uh pre-evolutions but that's a pretty powerful dude we get to open one more guardians rising still room still room for himself for some amazing cards papulele drampa drama gx right is that from this set that's right oh and guard motor man this set was really good holy cow it's one of the best pokemon sets all right we got a machop stufful rayquaza oh that guy is going to be awesome he gets to attach two basic energy cards man that'd be perfect for hello ex all right and then we got a nice slazzle so we can run uh more fire types with our other guys all right and then lastly is our celestial storm yes okay oh second third time's the truck all right so we got a chancino gulpin torchic masquerade uh maybe that guy's not too great but then we get a nice big waylord we got a nice water type to go with our fire type another masquerade and then a house so that how is actually pretty good we can add him in now it is my turn i've got the lugia trainers legendary box let's crack it open and see what we get okay here is the lugia deck we get two lugia ex and a blissey actually i'm not sure i think that blizzy might be from like next destinies or something we'll get a better look once i get this opened up all right so at the front of the box we have the two lugia ex from ancient origins i actually have good memories of this card my very first set whenever i got back into the game was ancient origins so i actually used a lugia ex in my very first deck because i pulled one and then we also have blissey which is from dark explorers pretty sweet comes with a lugia coin and here is the rest of the decks let's go ahead and see what else is included and it looks like we've got some psychic energies so blaine got a ton of different types of energies but i just get all psychics another blissey and it looks like some psychic pokemon so i've got golurk and a professor juniper which is always great double colorless energy one of the best energies in the history of the game ultra ball is pretty good versus seeker very strong item card another ultra ball is nice dimension valley probably one of the best stadiums in the history of the pokemon tcg very good super odd good recovery communication is good another juniper and another dce got an n and a lysandre two powerful supporters back to back those are both very strong ooh a sigiliff so blaine has like pokemon with safeguard but looks like i also have a pokemon with safeguard i've got a mr mime with bench barrier which is a very strong card another double colorless and yeah okay there's all the pokemon and now on to our six packs we've got same packs as blaine got a fates collide two guardians rising a celestial storm and two sun and moon base sets let's open these up i'll start with this fates collide pack which features a dell fox break this was probably one of the more mediocre modern sets i think the best card i could get out of here is honestly like an n i do get two car banks so two more safeguard pokemon this is just all safeguarders the the video i guess and a uh a barbarical i did not get the pre-evolution though so unfortunately i won't be able to use that scorched earth could be okay i might change out my energy type depending on what else i pull so if that's the case then scorched earth could be nice okay next is the first of two sun and moon base set packs if i get a gx i definitely hope it's a basic because if you get an evolution it's pretty hard to be able to use it because you have to open up all the rest of the evolution line i just get a butterfree though nothing too great here i don't feel like yeah you don't want to get a como gx do you not particularly no sun and moon pack number two i think like a tauros gx let's go let's go for a tauros gx that would be pretty good especially with double colorless energy in my deck let's see simeon decidueye a lily though i'll take it i'll take a lily all right two guardians rising packs i'm definitely hoping for a tapulele gx just like blaine was uh hopefully not a como like blaine got let's see get scuffle garboder okay if i get a rubbish that's really good and a provo pass aqua patch and enhanced hammer i really hope i get a rubbish in my next pack though because this card will be really strong in my deck all right if i if i get a rubbish this pack will be a win even if i would rather have a rubbish right now than like a secret air aqua patch honestly so let's see rubbish rubbish rubbish no trubish unfortunate another pro bow pass i got two pro bow pass out of my packs so nothing useful out of guardians rising unfortunately last pack last chance to add something good to my deck i've got a celestial storm pack let's see what's in here and see if we get something good shuppet torchic and sceptile uh this could have been good if i got a trico and a grow vial because this powerful storm attack is pretty powerful but unfortunately unfortunately i didn't get the other ones a couple good trainers though honestly i might play all three of these in my deck to be honest not bad so here is my deck the lugia deck i actually ended up keeping it pretty much the same these are the only cards that i decided to cut i cut the two draft rigs and the mr mime i figured mr mime's a good card but probably not gonna be useful based on what blaine has and then i added in the acro bike i added in the shrine of punishments um and then i added and the lily for an additional draw card so yeah i think my deck is okay i've got golurk is not a bad attacker skarmory has call for families blissey's ability can get some healing going the main guy is definitely going to be lugia ex though all right i think i got a little bit of a picasso going on we got all of our splotches of color with our different energies we got our different pokemon we got a nice big colorful fuller team skull grunt um but i think the most thing that i'm very thankful for is going to be this rayquaza with or rayquaza rayquaza you you are the requested king turbo storm with which says uh attach two basic energy cards that's gonna be amazing for getting all my energy out into play and i have all of these different attackers i can use um but the smeargle the smeargle from uh breakthrough is actually gonna be really really good because of its second accountability so yeah i think i think you're going down that's what i think i think i'm going down oh we'll see about that we'll see what lugia has to say about that all right heads or tails blaine we're gonna take tails first we'll go first we'll go first sounds good okay blaine you ready i'm ready good luck good luck good luck not the best opening hand i'm thinking of i'll bench a xerneas and then i'll bench my kangaskhan okay and that's it it's your turn ooh no energy no energy i'll draw for turn that was a pretty good top deck not gonna lie i'll play a pokemon fan club which lets me search my deck for up to two basic pokemon and put them in my hand and using pokemon fan club i'll grab two basic pokemon one golet and one chansey and put them in my hand and then i will bench chansey i will bench go let and i will attach a psychic energy to lugia ex and i'll pass to you all right i'll drop her turn i'll play a crushing hammer ah my one sunday a card from my son moonpak and we get a heads of course you do attach an energy here and then i'll end my turn okay so here we go i'll draw for turn i will evolve to blissey and i'll attach a basic psychic energy to my active lugia and i'll put esparesha city gym in play so each of the colors pokemon in play gets 20 more hp and then i will play professor birch's observations shuffle your hand into your deck flip a coin if heads draw seven and if tails draw four big flip for the birch heads nice definitely will take that i'll use pokemon communication to reveal a pokemon in my hand and put it on top of my deck and then i get to search my deck for a pokemon and put it in my hand and with that i'll grab chancy then i will bench that chansey and i will pass to you all right drop return well here are certainly in a much better position than me so all i can do is pass right back at you uh-oh okay i'll draw for turn i will attach a double colorless energy to my lugia ex and i'll use bianca to draw cards till i have six in my hand so i'll draw two cards i'll bench go let's and i will use arrow ball which does 20 damage times the amount of energy attached to both active pokemon so it deals 80 damage to cabellian i'll draw for my turn i'll go ahead and i'll attach an energy card to here now i can at least attack so i will use my energy press to deal 80 damage right back at you or 20 plus 20 more for each energy on you yep 80 damage right back to me i'll drop return bench lugia ex i will attach a psychic energy to golettes and i think i'm i'm going to help you out a little bit here because i really want to get my other blissey if i can so i'm going to play an n whoa each player shuffles their hand into their deck and then draws a card for each remaining prize card so i get six and you get six that was very lucky for me yeah i didn't want to play it but i really want to get another blissey and i did get my ultra ball so i'll use ultra ball and i'll discard a psychic energy and a random receiver and with ultra ball i will grab blissey and then i will evolve my other chansey into blissey and i will use both of their soft boiled abilities to one string my turn heal 30 damage from your active pokemon and since i have two blessings i get the heal 60. so lugia has only 20 damage on it hey is it okay if i read the blissey again yeah go for it that's pretty oh wait oh boy isn't he i am misreading this card oh no i was about to back it up and i'll use the first soft boil to flip a coin if heads heal 30 damage it's tails i'll use the second soft boiled oh one more troll use the second soft boiled and tails again unfortunate okay uh that's all right i'll just i'll go with aeroball i'll knock you out that sounds bad for me but good for you all right so i'll promote my kangaskhan and i'll drop return well i'm very thankful for that n as i as i do get to do a lot more things during my turn i think i'm going to start off with a battle compressor which says search your deck for up to three cards and discard them i think if i knew blissey was a coin flip i maybe would not have played um we'll go ahead and discard those three so two hoe ex and a mask masquerade and then i will use a pokemon communication which allows me to reveal pokemon which is a sensino and then i put it back into my deck and i fetch another puppy thinking i'll grab my den from furious fists tonight's pretty good the dene is a lightning type and you are weak to lightning my good sir i i am weak to lightening that is a good point and then let's see so i'm going to bench my de dene from my hands yep yeah here's what i'm going to do so i'm going to bench my smeargle and then i'll use my professor juniper to discard a lightning energy and an ultra bowl cool i need to draw some new carbs so i'm going to attempt to use hoe ex's rebirth ability which says once during your turn if this pokemon is in your discard pile you get to flip a coin and instead of healing 30 damage like you i get to bench my hoe ex2 or i get to put them onto my bench actually and then i get to attach up to three different types of energies it's pretty good super powerful see if you can get a heads yeah all right so let's try number one since i have two polos in my discard tails tails please tails please one tail nice okay let me try it let me try them again for my second hello tails no we got the second one all right so i'll bench him down and i get to attach up to three energy of different types and that makes sense since hoho is the rainbow pokemon he gets to it have rainbow energy so i think what i'm going to do is i am going to use my switch and i'm going to switch into the dna blade earlier i am going to attach a psychic energy from my hand to my dudenet and then i will get to use my energy short attack for it's going to be a total of 60 damage and then it's going to be doubled that would be your weakness that is enough with the 80 on me espersa does not save me that is 200 so goodbye lugia oh i am wishing wishing wishing that i had not played that in i'm going to send up golett and draw for turn i will evolve into go alert uh-oh and then i'll attach a double colorless energy to my golurk and i will play shauna shuffling my hand into my deck and then draw five cards and i'll use wreck does 60 damage and then if there's any stadium card in play this attack does 60 more damage and discard that stadium so i discard my spiritia into 120 to knock out the dna okay so i think the best thing to do is going to be to promote my own holo ex and i get to draw a card we'll go with misty's determination and so it says discard a card from my hand if you do the top eight cards of my deck and then i get to put one of those into my hand so because of that i am going to discard nincino okay so now i get to look at the topic all right so there's these all right so i'm going to take this card and shuffle the rest back into my deck i think i'm going to attach a fairy energy to my xerneas and then let's see it's anything else i need i think i think using my rainbow burn on hoe x is going to be enough i'll use rainbow burn for a total of 80 damage 80 damage i will draw for turn i'll bench another golett i'll use soft boiled number one try to heal my golurk soft boiled number two come on man no no healing for me ah that is unfortunate okay i will attach an energy to lugia ex i'll put shrine of punishments in play and then i will use professor juniper discard my hand and draw seven cards and then i will use wreck to deal 60 damage and then discard the shrine of punishments from play and so it does 120 damage and because shrine and punishment only works between turns nobody takes any damage counters that's got to be my question yeah okay so it does 120 damage i'll draw for turn all right so then i will use bench my stability okay and then let's see i think i am going to use my own ending and see if i can disrupt you a little bit puts me down to just four but also you only get four exactly i guess all that i can do now is just use my rainbow burn one more time for another 80 damage it's enough to knock me out one price card i will send up my lugia ex draw for turn i'll use skyla search my deck for a trainer card and put it into my hand and with skyla i'll grab professor's letter and i'll go ahead and play professor's letter which lets me search my deck for up to two basic energy cards reveal them and put them into my hand and i'll get to basic psychic energies i'll attach a psychic energy to my lugia ex not looking too good for old ho-oh o-o's going down i think and then i will use arrow ball to deal 20 damage for each energy attached to both of us and that is enough to knock out ho-oh yeah 100 plus 120 is much more than 160. i think i'm gonna promote my sableye okay see if you can buy me a turn drop return all right i think the best thing to start off with is going to be another rebirth so i can sort of bring the whole guy back if i get a heads right here no heads no way one tails but remember i do have another hoe yik that i can try oh no so i'm gonna have another rebirth effect or yeah ability try can try again for the second rebirth ah again was a heads it was a heads so there's energy okay one thing i can certainly do is go ahead and attach an energy card there and i've not played a supporter card yet so i will actually do that and i will play a mallow search my deck for any two cards but instead of drawing them i just put them on top of my deck did you knock out not take two prizes i only took one prize but i should have taken two prizes so i need to put one more prize in my hand yeah okay hello is an ex all right so as much as i would like to grab that i'm going to grab these two cards off of the mellow okay i need to decide what order i get to put them in you do get to decide what order you put them in i think i'm going to do it like so okay and then what i'm going to do is just go ahead retreat and then use rainbow burn for another 80 damage okay 80 damage drop return okay surely surely surely surely i can hit a heads on some of these soft boils now right i'll go count on it soft boil number one there's the head there's a head you're down to 50 health point 50 yeah so heals it down to 50 and then soft boil number two justice justice heals down to 20. i will bench sigilif i'm going to put a psychic energy onto sigilif i'm going to play switch to switch into the sigoleth i'm going to put dimension valley and play then i'm going to play versus seeker and off of versus seeker i'm going to grab my n and i will play in to have each of us shuffle our hand into the deck and you get three but i only get two and that resets my uh mallow that i just played too that's what i was thinking pretty good i'll evolve into golurk and i'll pass all right well i'll draw for turn i'll play my random receiver which allows me to reveal cards until i hit a supporter card okay no supporter no supporter no supporter if you're on fan club it's probably the best supporter i could have seen you hit yeah and so the rest of these guys get shuffled back i think i will use my energy switch okay go with the lighting down here then i will play my lily to draw four cards yep so i get to one two three four not in the best of situations sigil of safeguard coming in clutch maybe it really is and then i will play my ultra ball so i have to discard two cards to search my deck for any pokemon i'll discard my source skit and then my rayquaza man you were hyping up for crazy he's just getting sent to the next profile i wish i could use him but i already have so many colorless pokemon that's true my rainbow force attack isn't gonna do too much i think i might actually fetch my own safeguarder my sweet yep see if he can buy me some time maybe something that i might do is i'm going to retreat and we're going to go into smeargle okay and then i'll be your go my go drop turn i'll play super rod shuffle three and any combination of pokemon and basic energy back into my deck i'm just gonna put back three basic psychic energies so with super out i'll put back one two and three basic psychics and i will pass all right looks like we're in a stalemate for a bit of a second c draw for my turn all right you know i think i'm gonna have to try it because i'm curious to see what your hand is i'm going to play my team school grant okay i know i don't think there's an energy but we'll see dimension dimension so it's sort of an energy all right so then i will have to pass after that okay well we are just kind of in a little still mate i'll drop a turn and i'll pass all right all right i'll draw for my turn um i'll go ahead and bench my sweet i think and then i'll play ashana yep seems good and so i'm going to play my pokemon communication to put back my sensino a second time nice uh we'll grab my the dread again okay so i will go ahead and attach an energy card there um and then it'll be your go draw return i'm gonna put an energy on sigoleth and then i will use psychic to deal 50 damage and then 10 more for each energy attached to defending pokemon smirl has no energy on him however so it just does 50. all right i'll draw for my turn go ahead and attach per turn and then i'll use a professor's letter i'm going to grab my water energy and i'm also going to grab a psychic energy all right and so then i'm going to have to use my professor juniper okay discard all those guys sounds good and so then i draw seven new cards so now i will use my super rod okay and with the super rod i will get back i'm very lovely to dinner no no to danae and then i'll get back um a psychic energy we'll go with the dark energy okay i'll shuffle those three back to the deck or i'll just retreat my smeargle from the active position yep promote my xerneas yeah i'll go ahead and use rainbow force for a knockout that is a knockout two prizes to two prizes see what's gonna happen i'll drop a turn needed that top deck so i'll attach for turn i'll use soft boiled number one softball number two that one is heads so i heal all that damage off of lugia and i will use arrowball for 120 exactly to knock out xerneas okay well the wall for a little bit yeah all is not lost because of my own safeguard yep that sweeping that we were talking about it's all drop return all right so this is what i'm gonna do i'm gonna go ahead and attach an energy card to my sweet okay i'll use pokemon fan club okay oh boy and i'll get that to deny out no and then i will go ahead and actually go back in with my battle compressor okay after my fan club i'll use valve compressor yeah some use some parts i don't want in my deck anymore let's go with alter the moon tropius and mellowed out i don't want to see those guys again so then i'm going to bench my dna and then i will have to pass i don't love seeing that de dene there i will admit that's weird okay drop return i'll use ultra ball discarding dimension valley and skarmory i'll get skarmory i'm gonna attach a psychic energy to golurk and i will just pass all right so i'll draw for turn i'm gonna use my second coat before i do anything else okay and i'm going to attach my water energy and take away the metal energy and then i'm going to attach another energy i think i'll have to pass okay drop the turret oh he would have played it by now if it was i will retreat oh no oh no he already had it i'll attach a psychic energy and then i will use wreck to discard the dimension valley good sir deal 120 to the suicune and knock it out to take my last prize card you got me gg that was a close one really close game very close game okay blaine how are you feeling after that battle not good salty taste salty taste it was a close game though it was a close match it was a very close game i thought i had it with my rayquaza but i could never get him going but that's okay maybe maybe if we play in the future i can get back all right so how do you feel about the ho-oh deck that you ended up building well i'm not sure at the moment because i thought it was going to be a lot more powerful than it actually ended up being yeah but i still think that there's there's something underneath the hood so we'll have to practice more and find out good game lane good game [Music] you
