This is a great way to start building a budget Blaine Aggro deck and a1-41-arcanineex is starting to become more recognized as a great card in the current meta! In addition, you can start preparing for the upcoming Venusaur Drop Event on November 29, 2024 at 6 AM UTC as Fire is good against Grass Pokémon.

Guide
As mentioned in the introduction, Venusaur Drop Event is coming up on November 29, 2024 at 6 AM UTC so this event will help you prepare for Fire Pokémon decks to beat Grass Pokémon with ease if you haven't been opening much Charizard booster packs! Here are some current ideas for making use of these cards.
The Bonus Pick is great for collecting budget Fire type Pokemon cards for free, and Blaine Aggro is a decent deck:
On the other hand, a1-41-arcanineex is a decent card in the current meta as it has just one evolve level and the 120 damage breakpoint to one-shot the a1-96-pikachuex. However, the Rare Pick for is very expensive at 3 Stamina.
Even though the limited-time event Flair is tempting, for free-to-play players the Rare Pick might be something you should skip for now unless you really want the card.
