This deck is specifically designed to counter heavy EX decks through rapid, aggressive tactics. By utilizing key cards like a3a-061 for early trades and a3-066 to eliminate major threats, it quickly forces opponents into difficult positions. If your goal is to secure quick wins against meta decks packed with EX Pokémon while maintaining flexibility, this build is tailored for that purpose.

Strengths

• An exceptionally aggressive approach that can secure quick victories against EX-heavy opponents.
  
• synergistic cards like a3a-061 and a3-066 complement each other, with a3a-061 initiating early pressure and a3a-066 handling bigger threats.
  
• High-speed attack potential, with a3a-021 capable of dealing 50 damage instantly or transferring energy via dawn, enabling swift offensive plays.
  

Weaknesses

• Vulnerable to poor opening hands, as early game setup is crucial for success.
  
• Heavy reliance on a3a-061 makes the deck less effective if that card is unavailable or countered.
  
• Less effective against non-EX decks, where the deck's primary tools may underperform.
  

Gameplay Strategy

Begin by searching for a3a-060 and evolving it quickly into a3a-061 to maximize damage output. Starting with a3a-021 is advantageous when going first, as it can attack immediately, especially if you can use its ability to gain energy on turn one. When going second, starting with a3a-060 allows for an aggressive stance, evolving into a3a-061 for sustained damage.

In matches against EX Pokémon, deploying a3-066 is optimal for protecting your threats and maintaining pressure, especially if you anticipate EX attackers. Use energy transfer techniques to keep your key Pokémon ready to strike, and spread energy across your team to prepare for multiple threats or to facilitate retreats.

Early benching of Pokémon is essential; having a sizable hand enables flexibility but makes you susceptible to disruption cards like promo-006, a2b-069, and a2-155. Prioritize finding a3a-021 early to ensure you can leverage its ability for rapid setup.

Use supporter cards judiciously—sometimes playing a supporter like a1-223 to trigger Brave Buddies or to reduce hand size can be pivotal. It's often advantageous to hold onto a3a-067 until you're ready to attack, ensuring you have supporter support when needed.

Against non-stage 2 decks, deploying promo-006 early can hinder their setup, but against stage 2 decks, delaying its use may be better, especially if they haven't evolved yet, to maximize its disruptive potential.

The overall plan emphasizes quick evolution, aggressive attacking, and tactical energy management to dominate opponents swiftly. Adapt your strategy based on your opponent's deck type, and prioritize maintaining momentum to secure victory before they can stabilize.The card a2-155 tends to strengthen as the game progresses, allowing a more cautious approach early on, especially when you anticipate a Pokémon will be KO'd, thereby maximizing its later impact.

Key cards essential for maintaining the deck’s functionality include:

• a3a-060 – an optimal starter when going second; if it’s knocked out, setting up another is recommended.
  
• a3a-061 – primarily your main damage dealer; utilize it thoroughly since it inflicts the highest damage.
  
• a3-066 – a backup against fighting EX decks; aim to keep two active to prevent a play like a1-225.
  
• a3a-021 – ideal as a first turn starter when going first; it attacks next turn and pairs well with a1-223 for quick 60 damage hits.
  
• promo-007 – sometimes better to hold in good hands to protect against promos like promo-006 and a2-155.
  
• promo-005 – generally better to play after promo-007 to secure most basic Pokémon early.
  
• a3a-067 – best held until you're ready to attack with a3a-061, but watch out if a3a-060 remains in the deck.
  
• a1-223 – pairs effectively with a3a-021; it can KO basic Pokémon with 60 HP like Eevee and is effective against opposing a3a-061.
  

Cards that can be safely cut without compromising core mechanics include:

• a2-154 – transfers energy from a3a-021 to your active Pokémon, enabling immediate hits, especially with a3a-061.
  
• a1-225 – very powerful in aggressive strategies; it helps control the board early.
  
• a2-150 – useful against high-HP threats that retreat or to secure critical KO opportunities.
  
• a2-155 – a supportive card that triggers easily with a3a-061 and is advantageous in decks heavy on card draw.
  

Specialized tech cards are situational and mainly effective in certain matchups:

• a2-147 – a versatile discard option; prevents opponents from KOing a3a-061 at 120 HP or a3a-021 at 100 HP.
  
• promo-006 – a discard tool particularly useful against decks relying heavily on card draw.
  

Matchup strategies vary based on opening hands:

• Opening with two a3a-021 and two a3-066 increases a2-154’s activity, allows tanking and retreating with a3a-021 before transitioning to a3a-060, and reduces the chances of starting with a3a-060.
  
• Starting with one a3a-021 and two a3-066 favors opening with a3a-060, possibly with a3-066, making a2-154 less active.
  
• Conversely, with two a3a-021 and one a3-066, the likelihood of starting with a3a-060 or a3a-066 increases, boosting a2-154’s effectiveness, and enabling free tanking and retreating with a3a-021 before switching to a3a-060, though this makes the deck more vulnerable to EX decks that can easily switch out a3a-066.
  

This deck style is aggressive, designed to deliver swift, punishing blows against EX Pokémon. With a3a-061 dishing out heavy damage and a3-066 neutralizing EX threats, the deck maintains relentless pressure to secure quick victories.
