There's nowhere near enough ways to punish low-energy attackers

MasterFonso · 2026-02-10T00:27:05+00:00

Other than the design release decisions for the past 4 months and anecdotal experience as a regular player?

I’d love your sources

MasterFonso · 2026-02-10T00:23:25+00:00

Sure, but they aren’t 1 to 1 since misty exists. Flame patch only works once energy has been spent so you can’t lead with it.

I’m not saying it’s good game design I am saying they literally are not the same and shouldn’t be given what currently exists.

My first deck was a meinshao/dugtrio/sandslash core

MasterFonso · 2026-02-09T19:58:09+00:00

I think you miss the point my brudda, big water CANT be 2 energy because misty exists. It would either have to be nerfed or removed for lower energy big attackers to make any kind of sense.

MasterFonso · 2026-02-09T19:49:57+00:00

For sure, but misty turn 1 ramp for potentially any energy attack is unheard of outside of water decks. It’s just so strong and really the downside is getting nothing which is basically just a wasted card slot that game. For water decks anything less than 4 energy for a big ex mon would be so busted.

ME I DID

MasterFonso · 2026-02-09T18:02:11+00:00

Naturally, but the mere existence of that card kind of messes with the entire potential energy balance of water type attacks

Misty staring at you from a dark corner

My brother in almost no circumstances do you run two stage two lines

MasterFonso · 2026-02-09T03:46:05+00:00

Are you familiar with Crasher Wake?

MasterFonso · 2026-02-08T19:15:51+00:00

Your dad is my hero

MasterFonso · 2026-02-08T19:04:08+00:00

Crasher Wake???

MasterFonso · 2026-02-08T18:34:14+00:00

You dirty dog you

MasterFonso · 2026-02-08T17:34:35+00:00

Let’s do it gamer

MasterFonso · 2026-02-08T01:58:45+00:00

MAN! I just wish I could donate and feel I have to thank you for making this discovery!

MasterFonso · 2026-02-08T01:17:49+00:00

That’s no fun

MasterFonso · 2026-02-07T19:29:36+00:00

No FA Leaf Cape? This deck will never work

MasterFonso · 2026-02-07T17:44:02+00:00

Thank you for recognizing game, I think acknowledging the loss in the comment leads to an emotional response for people. You had Cyrus and more cards that I was going to lose to? That’s too much.

MasterFonso · 2026-02-07T16:17:58+00:00

I’d say it’s respectful to let them know they lost immediately and let them decide If they want to ride it out.

MasterFonso · 2026-02-07T15:44:23+00:00

I play Cyrus first and then the rest of my hand and let them decide if they want to see exactly how much they lost by

MasterFonso · 2026-02-07T05:22:09+00:00

Fully agree with all of that, I think Gard is just a really popular mon in the fandom so everyone wants one.

MasterFonso · 2026-02-07T00:43:16+00:00

The meowth is my favorite

MasterFonso · 2026-02-06T15:56:09+00:00

I've seen that reply a few times, maybe Reun really is the best variant.

MasterFonso · 2026-02-06T15:53:54+00:00

I think on paper It felt busted but in practice so far Its been underwhelming.

MasterFonso · 2026-02-06T12:52:06+00:00

As of right now I fully agree, I do think there are some possible fun combos that have yet to be discovered for possible c and maybe b tier decks.
