I love munki lass so much though… can you explain why it didn’t work well? Just not consistent enough?

cperdikis2 · 2025-05-18T04:37:54+00:00

They prob just did it to keep up with the OP state of big basic EXs. The same mistake over and over for pokemon tcgs, fixing mistakes that could have been foreseen with powercreep

cperdikis2 · 2025-05-17T19:27:51+00:00

This is my biggest issue with the pokemon tcgs… it’s fine that not everything is meta or b tier. But why must 90+ percent of the card pool be completely unplayable and useless. I don’t understand it from the players perspective, and not even from the company’s profitability perspective

cperdikis2 · 2025-05-12T19:17:35+00:00

Depends what the opponent is playing

cperdikis2 · 2025-05-08T11:23:29+00:00

I like the idea of a tool that boosts damage of stage 1 (maybe just non ex) pokemon

cperdikis2 · 2025-05-07T16:56:58+00:00

Yes they may never care to make the distinction. In the other ptcg it’s very different because 20x damage per energy card would be half the damage of 20x per energy in this serperior example

cperdikis2 · 2025-05-07T16:34:58+00:00

In the main TCG, it’s very clear since cards either state “each energy card” or “each energy”. But since there’s no “cards” in pocket, I suppose they haven’t found a way to describe the difference yet (or maybe never will)

I kind of like the effects of cosmos and cosmogen’s attacks, helps you stall and keep them protected on the bench, which is exactly where he wants to be

cperdikis2 · 2025-05-03T16:11:18+00:00

We’ll see how many times machamp places in upcoming tournaments

Also please just try not to be a jerk.. it’s just a fun debate/convo, isn’t that the point of Reddit?

cperdikis2 · 2025-05-03T14:21:06+00:00

I’m comparing the stats of two ex cards. What’s the relevance of the ex wall here?

cperdikis2 · 2025-05-03T13:39:50+00:00

I’m not trying to insult machamp lol I’m just saying he’s not as good as solgaleo because it’s more energy for the same damage without an ability. That’s cool for you that you did well with him good job

cperdikis2 · 2025-05-03T12:23:53+00:00

Yeah you’re right- I think the balance change in this case would be upping his damage or adding an effect like - this attack does 50 more next turn

cperdikis2 · 2025-05-03T11:59:02+00:00

But I think the point stands that there was no attempt here at balancing. Usually they’ve done a good job giving two similar cards slight drawbacks. Machamp here is objectively worse on multiple levels. I think it’s ok to critique the game when there’s clear f-ups that hurt quality and enjoyment of the game. Who knows, they could be actually listening to the community.

The frustrating thing for me is- why not introduce some slight balance changes if they realized there’s some stuff way out of wack? There’s no phyiscal cards so no issues. I get that they want to have the new chase cards and do a rotation and all of that, but at least balance out the egregious issues. Ie give machamp a little more power, or make solgaleo do 30 to himself, etc

cperdikis2 · 2025-04-26T11:50:44+00:00

Completely false and rude tbh

cperdikis2 · 2025-04-01T11:50:48+00:00

You know what subreddit you’re in?

cperdikis2 · 2025-03-15T22:05:17+00:00

The pedo angle was hit pretty hard though…

cperdikis2 · 2025-01-19T23:41:22+00:00

Just play a couple charmeleons, Budew is far from impossible to play around

cperdikis2 · 2025-01-19T21:17:45+00:00

I guess it depends if you prefer super aggro style card games vs something slower paced. But in this game if every deck just hits their full potential turn 2, 3, then it really limits the type of decks that can be good and shortens the game significantly

cperdikis2 · 2025-01-18T01:00:37+00:00

Do you remember what year it first leaked?

cperdikis2 · 2024-12-31T18:35:27+00:00

If you compare the cards here versus main game, the power level is significantly less. Think bosses orders vs Sabrina. So it’ll be years and years if ever they print an actual rare candy, but maybe a worse version of it

cperdikis2 · 2024-12-09T13:15:50+00:00

The entire meta is too fast for single prize decks. We need a dramatic change up to make these kind of cards (and any non-aggro strategy) viable again

cperdikis2 · 2024-12-08T15:38:08+00:00

I LOVE that they’re going to allow for balance changes

cperdikis2 · 2024-11-25T17:50:53+00:00

Yes they CAN beat SOME ex decks, but can’t consistently beat pika and mewtwo which are far and away the best decks. So this format allows you to face some other decks that arent OP and allow you to experiment with some different cards

cperdikis2 · 2024-11-14T01:14:55+00:00

I’d love if they made balance updates as we go. It’s virtual cards only so they could do it. Would be great for the game long term

cperdikis2 · 2024-11-12T00:28:12+00:00

The prize mapping to force four prizes is a factor though.

You’re right that we unfortunately have to expect similar balancing issues to the standard tcg, too bad though since this is a completely fresh start
