>>7558876The Haos Howlkor deck is still the best. All of the starter decks could use some editing in general however, which is kind of the point of selling starter decks. The biggest and most obvious downside with the Aquos Pyravian deck is that it doesn't have any evos in it, and some of the cards that it comes with should be replaced asap.
The main value in the Aquos Pyravian deck, aside from the toys themselves, is the rare cards that are currently worth enough that you would be better off buying the deck than trying to get the cards on their own. Rip Tide, Dark Fortune, and Shun (BR) are all Super Rares that can fit well in most decks, and quite a few of the other cards in the deck are useful in general despite some of the crappy cards dragging it down.
If you intend to run an Aquos/Darkus deck and/or like to collect the toys, it could easily be worth grabbing if you plan on tweaking it with other cards; the overall deck is in a much better state compared to the earlier starter decks that aren't Haos Howlkor. Some of the cards that it comes with are worth well over the extra 10 bucks that you would pay for the starter set based on sites like TCGplayer and Ebay. I'm sure some people might even see the "No Evo Cards included" drawback of this starter deck as a benefit, since it makes it even easier to mess around with the deck by making the bakugan that it comes with more replaceable.
On an unrelated note, whenever I look at Pyravian I see a sea turtle and I can't fucking unsee it
>>7559499Not him but one of the big strengths with Aurelus Pegatrix is that it aside from good stats, it comes with 2 Fists, so it synergizes well with bakugan that benefit from them. If you wanted to run a pure green fist deck like anon suggested, an example Pyrus/Haos deck could be Aurelus Pegatrix, Pyrus Fangzor/Gorthion depending on your preference, and Haos Pegatrix. All of these bakugan get bonuses when they have a Fist attached to them that also scale with their evos.
