Articuno ex Deck Strategy Guide and Card ListComment

Aint no way this is considered a high tier deck. The odds of pulling a successful Misty turn 1-2 aren't in your favor, and without that this is a weak strategy. Fun gimmick, frustrating to lose against, but you're going to be losing more than you'll be winning with this. Realistically this could maybe hang with D tier, there is still some positioning potential with fossils to buy you time to use blizzard.

I don't understand the utility of the fossil in this deck. It can't be sent as basic pokemon at the start and it gives one point if knocked while a great advantage of this deck is the fact that the opponents has to score 4 points everytime knocking 2 articunos. To me the fossil seems useless

Staking the entire game on a sweep with a lucky Misty to boost your one Pokemon is diabolical

Send a Fossil out into the Active Spot if Articuno ex isn't ready. This works as a Basic Pokemon that can be discarded instead of retreating, making it a useful tool for buying us a valuable turn. Do note that knocking out a Fossil scores a point. LOL SO TROLLING

Fossil definitely gives a point if knocked out...

Fossil gives a point if knocked out

depends highly on RNG, if both misty miss, it is unlikely to win the battle.
