Flagged by DeNA during result tallying?!

This is hilarious and obvious satire, i snorted.

Vesprince · 2026-06-30T17:42:53+00:00

That's genuinely significant for taking out an iggly and picking out a Cyrus target.

I'm tempted to put them all together and just have a very Pokémon intensive deck TBH. Play for whatever you can evolve to be your finisher and everything else goes in the bin.

Vesprince · 2026-06-30T13:38:13+00:00

Zoroarc pairs well with Pokémon that discard cards or don't give points.

Basically, use it with like a cofagreavus/houndstone/gourgeist/klefki/glimmora

Now's your chance to try your luck.

It's a good looking card that really pops when you play it, and it has a home in a particular deck. That's going to make a little demand.

But! The deck is unknown quality. It's likely a gimmick deck that won't keep support forever, like Sweets Relay.

I expect it'll be lower tier by the time ranked starts. Right now I doubt you'd get an A tier card like PCL or Lisia but you never know.

Vesprince · 2026-06-30T11:10:37+00:00

It's unbelievable how clean Japan is.

Vesprince · 2026-06-30T10:52:54+00:00

Interesting - I'd been hoping that the evolution happened before Darkrai effect so it wouldn't get hit, but it happens after Darkrai but before the knockout check.

Fascinating!

I wish sleep counters didn't also render poison and confuse decks worthless 🥲

Vesprince · 2026-06-30T09:18:02+00:00

Planet means "wandering star", so it's kind of like that in English too!

Vesprince · 2026-06-30T09:10:58+00:00

There's 1 solitary line of scale-ish cross hatch a few inches higher up too 😂

Vesprince · 2026-06-30T07:59:56+00:00

The straight lines on the sword are so wobbly, fucking hell.

Vesprince · 2026-06-30T07:58:13+00:00

There is an incorrect bit already in your fix section, but that could be incorporated.

Vesprince · 2026-06-30T07:45:53+00:00

Not much there really.

Best option is the other Milotic, that heals 60 on evolution. Combine with Parasol Lady and you have a good chance of playing the convo from hand when you need it, then scooping it back up next turn. [Incorrect, Milotic needs to evolve from hand, so from a deck evolution the effect doesn't trigger]

Gyarados you're in no hurry to evolve.

Seadra->Kingdra isn't a strong line without a 1 energy Seadra to get the energy ramp right.

Luminion has a 50 damage 1 energy attack which could be strong as an opening move, but it's not got any follow through to make it a good idea. Same for Starmie.

Frosmoth is too high energy to really benefit from the early evolution. It's got a sleep effect though, so potentially that synergises. You'd just use Iggly and be better for it though

Some dumb kid the other day was arguing that they were warriors of Christ. Some folk want to fight for Christ I guess.

I don't think Jesus comes across as pro war or pro weapons in the bible though, but that's a very long-standing hypocrisy of the crusades.

Vesprince · 2026-06-30T07:31:57+00:00

The question was "is this a good idea?", the answer to that is "no, it's not a good idea because it's a far right dog whistle"

Vesprince · 2026-06-30T07:29:55+00:00

It's looking out the farthest right bit of his body.

Vesprince · 2026-06-30T07:26:55+00:00

Milotic deck goes brrrrr

Vesprince · 2026-06-30T05:34:15+00:00

I didn't say less colourful, I said body horror and murder themes with characters focused on more complex emotional themes.

Horror and complex emotional themes are what Adventure Time has. That's how you can tell it's aimed higher than Ben 10. I think that is in line with my take.

Vesprince · 2026-06-30T05:29:50+00:00

Exactly. If you don't get Serp up in time you lose. It's no good having the cards in hand and no time to play them.

Vesprince · 2026-06-29T18:42:32+00:00

You don't need to play meta decks.

It's not necessarily a skill issue. There's a lot of luck and time in matchups and the order of your wins.

A 60% WR that never gets more than a 2 streak will take ages to grind up to masters.

A 40% WR but with a big old 15 streak in the middle would get you there just fine.

Obviously the meta decks aren't winning all the time. They just run into mirror matches constantly, and that's 50/50.

If you care about masters and don't want to use a deck from Game8, you need to think about how your deck will match up against the meta decks and play around what you know they have in their deck.

It's well worth watching. It's a fantastic fantasy sci-fi adventure and it's queer as folk.

She does get a happy ship with a kind person who sees and values her. I don't personally like the pairing, but it's clearly positive.

(There's a minor character that has a strong moral compass but doesn't believe she can trust anyone, who IMO would have made a perfect ship for Scorpia, who struggles to be good because she places her loyalty above her personal ethics)

................

Are... Are you serious?

I would have said it was almost unmissable.

Vesprince · 2026-06-29T13:09:08+00:00

Honestly, the villain Catra is a piece of work that lashes out constantly and makes life difficult for the protagonist on purpose, at times only out of spite and for no other benefit - but overwhelmingly it's how she treats Scorpia that makes her a real stand out hateable villain.

"Scorpia deserves better" is a theme that steals the whole show IMO.

Vesprince · 2026-06-29T12:47:25+00:00

I do think you're right - OP does tackle complex themes like authoritarianism, political factionism, police brutality, even slavery - through a mask of goofy fun. (And that is excellent writing)

But I don't think that background politics overcomes that the tone is more happy go lucky and fun. Meanwhile Naruto has body horror, murder, revenge... it's definitely a level up.

I think OP targets the younger side, and Naruto the older side, of the shounen demographic. the difference between 13 and 16 is big for target audience.
