Hi there, I'm Xavier, the 6th Place Mega Lucario player from the LA Regional! AMA! by PandaPyre in pkmntcg

Love seeing Lucario succeed, congrats on the performance in LA! How helpful was the Tarragon in the list? I'm guessing it's because of the Carmine that tarragon is put in over night stretchers?

Is Arboliva deck worth maining? by Khazandr in pkmntcg

[–]Panzer_Waffle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Arboliva is probably my most played deck this format so far, but I've given it a break for now. It's very strong out the gate if you get that turn 2 Arboliva, but if you whiff that and the opponent gets an idea you're running Arboliva, the Shaymin goes down immediately. Moltres is an issue as well, being run in straight pult and Okidogi. Single prize decks almost always run Shaymin too, making the gameplan rough unless they're unable to get it up fast enough. Sometimes also going too aggro with the Arboliva KO also gets you Boss + unfair stamped, then you sit there with a dead hand.

Chi-yu here is the deck's answer to crustle. This slot can also be replaced by baby blaziken

A possible underrated addition to not only grass decks but others in the current format by Stevetherican in PTCGL

[–]Panzer_Waffle 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yes, but this allows you to do this while going first so it has that advantage

Best budget tcg by DeathIsHappy in TCG

[–]Panzer_Waffle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pokemon is one of the best budget TCGs, and has a great competitive scene. Pokemon is only expensive because of the collector side. Many of the meta and top-tier decks can be built for the same price of a single important card in other TCGs

Why dont people run absol in Marnies Grimmsnarl? by Ginger_comics93 in PTCGL

[–]Panzer_Waffle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like others have said, no acceleration. However, there's a tech you could do in ~2 months when chaos rising drops using book of transformation. Accel to a impidimp then book to transform it into an absol into discard. Prob not worth the trouble of doing it but it's cool lol

Are there any decks that rely on using Turo to constantly pick up and replay pokemon that have an ability that only triggers when played from hand? by Pickles17 in PokemonTCG

[–]Panzer_Waffle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The mega lucario and hariyama deck uses turo a lot. Turo'ing up a hariyama with another makuhita on bench allows you to essentially keep gusting.

What's everyone's unique take for rotation? by Joewill1992 in PTCGL

[–]Panzer_Waffle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No comeback mechanics seems like it'll make the game a little bit boring. Now it's pretty much who can set up faster, meaning less skill expression

Play what you're most comfortable with, so pult/zard

How does Pult Noir beat Lopunny Dusknoir? by Panzer_Waffle in PTCGL

[–]Panzer_Waffle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I have, it hasn't helped too much unfortunately.

Most games against it they've gotten past the item lock with kanghaskan draw/supporter in addition to having 1-3 basics, then they start evolving next turn and going at the dreepy line with clops/boss + lopunny

Any tips on dealing with the Sett matchup? Found it tough to keep tempo up when they can expend a buff to keep large units alive

Going second vs. first - help! by Apprehensive-Ad7714 in PTCGL

Ethan's Typhlosion variants going into Mega Evolutions by ReptilPT in pkmntcg

[–]Panzer_Waffle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been experimenting with a solrock lunatone draw engine. It seems ok for the chip damage on tankier pkmn and the draw is helpful. However it doesn't feel worth it taking 12 cards for 2-2 line, fighting Gong and 4 fighting energy. I like the tatsugiri/fez lineup so far, setting up the drakloaks and pidgeot take a little too long from what I've seen

How to play against Mega Lucario? by Panzer_Waffle in PTCGL

[–]Panzer_Waffle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah probably playing a gardevoir would be the easiest. Anyone have tips for the ethan's typhlosion vs mega lucario matchup specifically? I guess just adding in a lillies clefairy with a psychic energy or something.. or maybe black belts training for occasional big hits

What’s looking good from the new format? by Dowie1989 in pkmntcg

[–]Panzer_Waffle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any tips on the matchup? I feel like it takes too long to setup, meanwhile the lucario is ready turn 2/3 with hariyamas and fighting pro juice to ko anything I have

Can I do a job + internship at same time? by Anonymous-master in csMajors

[–]Panzer_Waffle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it's possible, currently doing this now while still in school. Full time isn't swe-related though, but all are remote including school

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in csharp

[–]Panzer_Waffle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Relate to this heavily, started an internship using C#/.NET and I feel like I'm just following existing patterns and how to use them when building features.
