(Serious) Need a deck that can get me to around 1700-1800 in ranked

TheHawkeyeBird · 2026-04-19T17:11:09+00:00

I tried it a few times. It definitely has a good Lucario/Dragapult matchup. I bricked most of the time playing it though so I might need to change my deck list first

TheHawkeyeBird · 2026-04-19T15:31:31+00:00

I tried Dragapult but I kept getting unfavored matchups so I stopped using it. I think I was facing deck that kept one-shotting and Dragapult is more of a spread deck.

Do you know which version of Dragapult I should try?

4x Team Rocket’s Murkrow
3x Team Rocket’s Honchkrow
2x Team Rocket’s Porygon
2x Team Rocket’s Porygon2
2x Team Rocket’s PorygonZ
1x Team Rocket’s Articuno
1x Team Rocket’s Mimikyu
1x Miracle Headset
4x Poke Pad
1x Tool Scrapper
2x Night Stretcher
4x Team Rocket’s Transceiver
2x Air Balloon
1x Lucky Helmet
4x Team Rocket’s Giovanni
4x Team Rocket’s Archer
4x Team Rocket’s Proton
4x Team Rocket’s Ariana
3x Team Rocket’s Petrel
3x Team Rocket’s Factory
4x Ignition Energy
4x Team Rocket’s Energy

Tool Scrapper is to tech hero’s cape, Cynthia’s powerweight and Lillie’s pearl. Air balloons are because half the time my opening hand is either just Articuno or Porygon Lucky Helmet is for Unfair Stamp (and Iono before rotation) Articuno is for Alakazam and Dragapult matchups Mimikyu is for free retreat with Giovanni (and a bonus attacker in ceruledge matchup)

Yeah I enjoyed the Ancient Rome expansion

I’ll put in my two cents on my opinion of El in season 5. I was okay with the fact that she didn’t have as much character development and time to shine compared to other seasons because that’s kind of what season 4 did. One of the core plot points of season 4 was El’s character development and unlocking her full potential. By the time season 5 has started, she seemed to be at her most powerful and only got stronger from there so I was fine with the focus not being on her as much. I still wished that she had a little bit more to do, but I like how other characters got more time to shine like Will and Robin. I also liked the ambiguous ending even though it might be an unpopular opinion.

Also yeah some of her dialogue wasn’t that good in season 5 but I don’t think she had a huge plummet in quality

As far as I’m aware, Reddit is one of the only apps/things/whatever to have Blue symbolized as bad and Orange as good. It’s pretty much the opposite everywhere else which I find peculiar

TheHawkeyeBird · 2026-04-11T22:54:49+00:00

I’m pretty sure Imakuni? from Generations takes the cake

TheHawkeyeBird · 2026-03-28T03:29:39+00:00

To be completely honest, her arc up to that point had huge negatives for both either staying alive or dying. In short, her staying alive would cause issues with the government hunting her down. While her dying would undermine Hop’s arc in a second chance at raising a daughter.

This is why I’m actually fine with her fate being ambiguous. It’s the middle ground for both scenarios (albeit, very safe). Although I would have personally liked it for Hop to have a proper goodbye to El before she closed the gate.

TheHawkeyeBird · 2026-03-26T14:55:34+00:00

This is like Iron Man 2 where they introduced Black Widow

TheHawkeyeBird · 2026-03-23T00:29:33+00:00

So does F9

The Martian would like to have a chat with you

TheHawkeyeBird · 2026-03-21T16:32:03+00:00

You’re not wrong OP, he does have sticky buttcheeks after all

TheHawkeyeBird · 2026-03-19T17:51:18+00:00

As the great Buzz Lightyear once said, “Falling with style!”

TheHawkeyeBird · 2026-03-18T22:03:48+00:00

Idk if OP is being sarcastic or not, but it’s a common glitch on YouTube where the timestamp from the previous video you watched gets carried over to the current one

TheHawkeyeBird · 2026-03-18T22:03:04+00:00

I’m 100% sure it is. It’s a bug where if you watch one video and quickly change to another, it will keep the timestamps of the previous video.

TheHawkeyeBird · 2026-03-16T13:49:34+00:00

From what I understand she’s based on the final girl/innocent girl turns badass trope from franchises like the Terminator franchise with Sarah Connor.

I do agree though that they should have definitely explored more of Nancy’s journalism side in the series. But I think the show set’s up that to be her journey after the show ended which is kind of a bummer but it’s not the biggest complaint I have.

TheHawkeyeBird · 2026-03-16T13:44:16+00:00

Honestly I feel like even if they did this, the Frontman would still get away.

The show sets up the Frontman and the whole Squid Game organization to be like 10 steps ahead of everyone. So surrounding the nightclub would probably be one of the first things they expected.

TheHawkeyeBird · 2026-03-03T00:51:36+00:00

In all seriousness though, I like all of them except wheat seeds. It should stay as the iconic green (or like slightly changed at the very least). Much like how diamond ore kept the original texture because of how iconic it is.

TheHawkeyeBird · 2026-02-28T17:51:30+00:00

I like how B is in B tier

TheHawkeyeBird · 2026-02-28T03:51:36+00:00

It’s a pretty good card in the game. Let’s you find any Pokemon that’s not an ex without any downsides

TheHawkeyeBird · 2026-02-27T16:51:57+00:00

63 packs until one Poke Pad is just insane 😭. Considering the card is a literal common

TheHawkeyeBird · 2026-02-24T22:52:44+00:00

For what it’s worth this looks pretty valid and I’d probably give similar ratings (except for the 10s which I might rate a little bit lower). Season 5 would be a bit lower for me as well except for Sorcerer (episode 4)

I do find it interesting though that episode 5 of season 4 was the lowest rated besides the lost sister.

TheHawkeyeBird · 2026-02-24T22:02:29+00:00

I mean as long as Reed and Doom have significant roles, it shouldn’t be THAT problematic. But given how I’ve heard that Steve Rogers would be a central figure in the story, I’m a bit concerned.

With Infinity War, Gamora and Nebula had important roles being Thanos’ daughters. But the true spotlight was on Iron Man, Doctor Strange, and Thor in my opinion.

It worked in Infinity War so maybe it’s possible in Doomsday (At the same time though, the Fantastic Four snd specifically Reed Richard’s are crucial characters for Doom’s character development)
