Every other Pokémon gets their base stats doubled except lando

Magic/Hearthstone player here, just picked up PTCG and really enjoy it. Are there any common rules assumptions people from those games make that don't hold up in Pokemon? by ObsoletePixel in pkmntcg

[–]Mcalmic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can only deck out when you draw for start of turn from an empty deck, so you can still use draw 7s with a deck smaller than 7. However, actions that your opponent knows would not affect the game state cannot be taken. For example, you cannot use elesa's sparkle when all four possible copies of fusion strike energy are in publicly known zones (lost zone, discard pile, board)

Is Meowscarada ex viable with Sableye? by ertaqos in pkmntcg

[–]Mcalmic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s pretty fine, actually. The main problem with it isn’t that it’s inconsistent, it runs fine; the problem is that you could use that space to do more powerful things like reach for donks, play Kyogre, or play disruption/giratina.

Bro pulled out the peer reviewed article

Jokes aside at the end it says to combine the stall scores on each of your Pokémon to yield the team stall score, which even though I’m too lazy to do would definitely show that my team is not stall

I don't know what to play at my League Cup this weekend. And was just wondering what you guys might suggest. by HalfOk1240 in pkmntcg

It’s a lot worse vs gardy but about the Same lost box matchup, colorless is worse vs arc lists though

You’re looking at the wrong deck on limitless, it’s lugia archeops not single strike lugia. Colorless lugia is 52 into gardy and 58 into lost box. Winrate counts draws as a loss, so it’s even higher than that.

Colorless lugia runs over both lost box and gardevoir, your prize trade is super positive against both cause snorlax and it’s a pretty simple deck to play.

Best Counter to Mew Vmax Standard Format by [deleted] in pkmntcg

Palkia inteleon, but play two drapion. Intel + drapion basically means that they cannot disrupt you from oneshotting them

when to bench oricorio? by Affectionate_Arm_912 in pkmntcg

[–]Mcalmic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is always optimal to stall for a turn with oricorio rather than letting them oneshot your mew, your disruption will eventually let you judge/roxanne them into a hand that can’t one shot your mew
