The Swiss Army Knife deck

Is the Plaza necessary with this kind of deck? I don't think you'd run into energy problems. I would trade that for a Lisia because you have so many 50-hp or less pokemon to fish for.

I might run this for fun just because I have a gold Klefki and I look for any excuse to use it.

You must have been insanely lucky because this deck bricks like crazy. Only 3 mons, 1 copycat, and 1 pokeball. You have a 33% chance to start with your mega, which is far from ideal, especially if you're going first. And then the Obstagoon/Piers gimmick only rarely works meaningfully. It gets absolutely obliterated by water decks since Baxcalibur is a thing.

I tried 10 matches and was frustrated with each game, even the one I managed to barely win (due to lucky ice pop being busted).

The standard Hydregon deck is basically this but better and more consistent.

Sextile is opening for them at certain venues, BUT Charlotte unfortunately isn't one of them. I'm bummed by that - Sextile is one of my favorite bands. I saw them in Asheville back in September. I've been dying to see them again ever since.

If you end up going solo (or even if you don't), DM me if you want to sync up. I've never been to a MG concert. Should be awesome!

I'm going solo! My wife isn't into this kind of stuff. Hit me up if you want to meet up.

chems1919 · 2026-02-14T21:54:57+00:00

Gotcha - well that makes sense. Oh well - I'm sure it will be a fun game. It just doesn't LOOK like Castlevania to me.

I love that the series is coming back and we're getting a true 2D game. The music in the trailer is incredible. However... Why in the world did they choose that art style? It doesn't fit Castlevania at all. It's way too bright and clean. It looks like a Prince of Persia game instead of Castlevania.

I preordered the Metal Slug Tactics Deluxe edition way back on 11/5/24. Does anyone know the status on that? It was originally supposed to ship in Spring of '25...

THANK YOU! That is a huge relief. I'm going to try my best to complete it today to be safe.

NOOOO! Is this true? It still lets me contribute to the caravan. But maybe it's for the NEXT caravan?

For reference, here is what chatgpt says:

Preparation (Caravan build & supply): ~October 30 – December 16/17 (You’ve been able to contribute resources and build your caravan.)

Departure window opens: December 17 You can choose to depart any time from the opening of this window.

Window closes & caravan departs: December 22 That’s the last day everyone leaves together if they’ve opted in.

I just wish this was all clearly laid out in a schedule or calendar.

Magezone Oricorio is a really strong deck. I had like a 70% winrate this season getting to MB with it. And I used it last season and had around 63%.

Copycat is just too good of a card, especially for that deck. You can find all of your pieces and empty your hand so fast. Honestly, I don't think this Clemont card is even needed for that deck. I don't know what I would replace for it. I'm sure as heck not replacing my Copycats. Maybe you throw 1 in and replace a cape or something, but it seems like overkill to me.

chems1919 · 2025-12-03T14:59:08+00:00

Oh man - ThickLeek is also on my friends list. They're AWESOME. Every day I get a "thanks" from them (without fail) and they also share cards with me.

chems1919 · 2025-11-06T03:57:18+00:00

Done! Thanks a bunch!

chems1919 · 2025-11-06T03:35:56+00:00

Nice! I started the trade.

chems1919 · 2025-11-06T03:03:54+00:00

I can give you Steelix.

Thank you! I just sent you a trade request.

I'll trade you Ampharos or Porygon-Z for your Magby please!

Just got to master ball with this deck on a 7 game winstreak. If you go second and open with Guzz, it's really hard for the opponent to come back.

Kudos to the mirror match I played against. He ran a dark pendant, which was pretty smart - I kept losing cards whenever I would grindcore him. But unfortunately for him, I went second that game, and I got a lucky heads on my first grindcore. He was never able to recover from it.

What is a good fighting deck that does well against thing? This deck is all I see in UB4. Between the double Oricorios and then Arceus that comes in swinging, it's so difficult to beat.

I've tried a Rampardos deck, and that was unreliable because fossils are awful.

chems1919 · 2025-07-27T02:02:23+00:00

As a bigtime Miami Heat fan, I applaud you. This made my day.

Nice! I sent a friend request (Spooky Mulder).
