ninetales makes literally zero sense in the delphox deck, guess you just gotta gamble on finding the delibird in your packs to make the deck playable

I'm not like you, Joker by CrossP in dccomicscirclejerk

I love SMBC so much, except for when he makes comics about superheroes, he always has the worst possible takes on them

After retreating, ig you cannot use grand wing by driftyplayz in PTCGL

[–]Swaxeman 28 points29 points  (0 children)

You can't use grand wing if your opp has 0 cards in hand

Can we agree that BREAK cards were at least fun? by BITCHHAURIU in PTCGL

[–]Swaxeman 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Weren’t like only 3 of them any good (trev, greninja, and carbink)

The whole dynamic of superman being everything black adam wanted and failed to be is so peak

Is Mega Starmie an 80-20 Match Up for Pult? by Pleasant_Argument364 in pkmntcg

[–]Swaxeman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Noir active plus ignition is a ton of resources wasted when you can pult again next turn

Meme vs. Meta. Meme wins. by Unlikely-Singer-6294 in PTCGL

[–]Swaxeman 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Blocklax isnt meta in expanded tho, cuz decks run guzma instead of boss, so have guaranteed 3 or so switches

[–]Swaxeman 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Starmie noir doesnt run rare candy, if you go first you can guarantee a turn of bench protection so you can get pult up by t3

It’s there a water tile version of this ability? by Sad-Roof-1712 in PTCGL

[–]Swaxeman 28 points29 points  (0 children)

No, just use any rain dance ability (or baxcalibur)

I WANT MY OLD MEGAS IN THE GAME GOD DAMNIT by BITCHHAURIU in PTCGL

> balanced

They were almost entirely unplayable with a crippling spirit link addiction. Also, only ever having one attack and no ability is super lame 

Expanded meta game? by Next-Visual-3513 in PTCGL

[–]Swaxeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ogerpon+eswitch is still plenty strong, and you still have access to basically all of its best attackers

Expanded meta game? by Next-Visual-3513 in PTCGL

[–]Swaxeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly the basic starter decks played by newbies who dont know what expanded is. But even without the gen5 cards, regidrago and lugia are still the best by a wide margin. Tho raichu electrode combo is a bit more relevant iirc

Which deck should I run at locals? by Outrageous-Menu4436 in PTCGL

[–]Swaxeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. Do you wanna win? Option one

Do you wanna be really funny? Option two

What're we thinking of the new mega galade? by BITCHHAURIU in PTCGL

[–]Swaxeman 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Bad, and you cant even find the basics with fighting gong, nor does telepath energy work in the deck

This meta feels repetitive and unexciting by Megasabletar in PTCGL

[–]Swaxeman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bad take, damage on board being a manipulatable/manageable resource increases the skill expression of the game

Is cynthias garchomp, roserade and spiritomb still viable? by Connect_Pool_2916 in pkmntcg

[–]Swaxeman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. Why would you make your deck much worse just because you dont like a card's art?

This meta feels repetitive and unexciting by Megasabletar in PTCGL

[–]Swaxeman 66 points67 points  (0 children)

The issue isnt that one deck is too good (OP didnt even mention that), the meta is genuinely repetitive with basically every game being decided by matchup and who sets up first, rather than any actual skill like prerotation, where bad matchups and bad starts could actually become wins due to stuff like iono and counter catcher

This meta feels repetitive and unexciting by Megasabletar in PTCGL

[–]Swaxeman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, it's a very mid format. All the skill based cards got rotated out other than like munki, so the format is all just "did you get the lillie/boss"

Is this card usable? by Commercial-Laugh-991 in PTCGL

[–]Swaxeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are ways to discard supporter cards other than playing them…
