Early Game Meowth Mewtwo Late Game

Strategy 1: Early Game Mew ex

Early Game Mew ex

A Mew ex start allows us to immediately start doing chip damage with Psyshot. Against opposing Mewtwo ex decks, we will be able to use Psydrive a turn early thanks to Mew ex's Genome Hacking only costing 3 Energy.
