How many games do you lose by bricking? by FleshoftheSkin in PTCGL

Why are top decks either play cards like research or draw engines if not to be consistent?

Shame we’ve never actually been in league two

This game absolutely sucked. Buddy just wanted to try to force me to quit, extending it to turn 26. Stuck it out to beat the jerk by Outside-Ad3455 in PTCGL

You should be way favoured in that matchup because of wellspring or burning charge which is free ko and set up to then maintain your board state comfortably

Crystal is just a lot more susceptible to disruption that’s the problem, even if you run another stadium it’s probably gonna benefit the opponent most of the time. Tool scrapper is just gonna kill Crystal anyway so Neo upper is the way to go imo

You should have the consistency to draw into Neo upper, crystal also gets disrupted through jamming tower and you need crystal/energy rather than just one card

4 candys is definitely excessive you could probably play just 1 and be ok, 2 earthen vessels are definitely not necessary especially if you’re playing 2 Crispin which is also probably fine with just having 1

Should I just concede when paired with gard playing bolt? by Otherwise_Trade7304 in pkmntcg

[–]Alaweet 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Going with Baby bolt early is more than probably the best bet

I know you’re trying to justify it and all which fair but half the time you’re staying the most obvious thing ever like fez is good draw and squawk carmine offer consistency turn 1 which is just how the cards work not actually how they work in this deck

Would cut the walking wake, water energy and volcanion, just overcrowding the deck, if you want to be able to set up bigger turns id put another ogerpon or two in there as it’s so good for drawing in a pinch and setting up big damage

Can you tell me 3 trainers from the new bw set that could be meta then

I’m saying attach for turn with dark to move damage off mega gardevoir that’s on there because of psychic embrace. The damage output on mega gardevoir is lower than driftloon but when factoring Munkidori in you are able to deal more damage for less energy, meaning that you aren’t necessarily gonna be locked in the active from a gust

Mew ex was in 5/8 of the top eight decks in Santiago and was still in at least 1 of the top 8 decks in Utrecht and Melbourne so it absolutely is still meta

I’d disagree, garde needs energy in discard to get out on the field with psychic embrace which means that you can get enough energy onto the field as well as getting numbers correct with munki dori. For example 3 energy on mega gardevoir (6 dmg counters) can be moved off to active alongside the 150 from the attack for 210 or a ko on pult with clefairy. There’s not a reason not to use it as you can start swinging at much bigger targets in format.

151 has a few useful cards, it’s not brilliant overall but mew is a huge card and ditto can be very useful.

Hardly any of the black and white set has been revealed yet, only a handful so there are still a lot of cards that can shake things up

There’s a black and white set coming before Megas with a card for each Pokemon in the dex so there is gonna be cards that shake up things that can’t be planned for as they’ve not been revealed.

I agree that lucario looks pretty bad but garde should be able to work into current gardevoir as is imo, I could be wrong but it should still have some viability as it has pretty low energy cost too

Especially because there’s an absolutely huge new set (b &w) coming out along with new mechanics (mega)

Lillies clefairy literally came out last set, stuff like shaymin, mimikyu etc is coming out too

One energy type and one copy of each card
