As a beginner with limited ex cards, is it ok to run a deck with 1 ex that is supposed to have 2-3?
I'm using a modified version of a chien-pao ex deck, and most decks online call for multiple. This also happened to me in a game where it should have been an easy win, but my chien pao was KO'd and it was a struggle to fight on from there.

Using that deck (most common Chien Pao decks) with only 1 Chien Pao ex when it was build with the idea of having 3 Chien Pao ex it's not good, because the Pokémon, supporter cards and amount of energies in a deck must have synergy... by removing 2 main pieces of the deck you break the synergy making the deck less consistent, usually it's ok to chance some cards that are not essencial to make the deck still work, but the change you are making it's very significant.
With only 1 in play or even worst if it's prized or KO'd you will struggle to keep the deck working properly and fast enough, your chances to win reduce significantly.

No. You won't start it often enough and won't have enough attackers. Just use a different deck until you can get the premium pass.

while it isnt recommended there is no reason not to just play it in the deck until you can get more just play items and supporters that help you get the one ex you have more consistently its only bad if you use one because it can be prized and harder to get but play the game how you like thats how you get better at deck building 😊

Note: I was slightly mistaken. Just get to Tier 4 of the free pass and you'll have enough copies.
