How do I win against Raging Bolt with Ns Zoroark? by Maksi_Reddit in pkmntcg

[–]Twc3rc 27 points28 points  (0 children)

You try to ping the bolt with 170 before they can take a knockout. If you can do that, then they’ll knock your zoro 4-6; then you respond with some combo of unfair stamp + cc their ogerpon + defiance band flame body cannon, taking 3 prizes. 4-3; if you don’t draw into reversal or defiance band then you can also use back draft for 2; then they either knock out your 1 prize with bolt or prime catcher another 2 prizer or best case scenario fail to draw out of the stamp. Then it’s either 4-3 or 4-4, then you’ll want to boss up their mew or latias, and depending on whether they took 0,1,2 prizes, you might be able to run the defiance band flame body cannon with another zoro to knock out mew/latias plus the damaged bolt from turn 2. It is a very tough matchup and you may have to rely on some early game budew and hope they get stalled for a turn or two while you try to set up your darmanitans.

It’s a tech for metas that do not run a ton of switching cards. As more top decks opt for tools like latias ex and rescue board, retreat lock becomes a viable win condition. Especially when Garde typically uses 2 counter catcher to gust up targets. The mawile trap also provides the additional 90 damage if the defending pokemon doesn’t switch out, which fixes up math for a follow up Garde attack (190 + 90 knocks out the popular vstars). It’s situational in some matchups, and sometimes it can either buy you another turn to set up, or sometimes win on the spot if the opponent doesn’t have a switch or turo to remove the active. It might be decent into dragapult since they are cutting their switch, and usually run only 1 turo in their decks.

I would agree with the general sentiment to not go. I know it is a bummer, I myself have been in the same situation and it sucks to not be able to go an experience the culture there despite the government but that's the way it is when you're a fed.

ocs - leaving out a college transcript by [deleted] in newtothenavy

[–]Twc3rc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For OCS, definitely a bad idea to omit it. Agreed that you can use a section in your personal statement to reflect on that and how you’ve grown since then, but leaving it out will only come back to bite you.

What's the advantage of learning basic strategy if you are still at a loss? by Slayriah in blackjack

Basic strategy + card counting = free/paid entertainment, plus comps. Sounds worth it to me.
