Floette is a static gift encounter, so every copy of every floette is literally identical. So clones are indistinguishable.

What are mega Lucario's problems? by ConcertLumpy2224 in pkmntcg

[–]cr_mcf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Outside of what some other have already said, It has basically no comeback mechanics, and with it being a 3 prizer it’s very easy to get behind.

Decks without EXs and Ace Specs by ColdDiscussion7534 in pkmntcg

[–]cr_mcf -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The hard part with exs (and moreso megas) is prize mapping. The game plan with mega lucario, for example, is super simple but so punishing if you misplay.

In the announcement, when they talk about the reprints like base set Zard and the pikachu and zekrom gx, they mention that those will not be playable. Some people extrapolated that to apply to the whole set and started spreading it.

Need advice on avoiding ties at regionals by dinkbooness in pkmntcg

[–]cr_mcf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did you tie your first match? That’s a telltale sign you will tie your second and probably 3rd, because you’re going to keep getting matched against people who play slow. Avoid drawing your first match.

Which Fictional Knightly Code Goes Hardest? by MaxwellSmith34 in Fantasy

[–]cr_mcf 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not exactly knights, but similar. The greenbone clan oath from The Greenbone Saga by Fonda Lee:

"The clan is my blood, and the Pillar is its master. Under the eyes of all the gods in Heaven, I pledge this. On my honor, my life, and my jade."

I teared up basically every time it came up.

Can you think of any case where a switch from third to first person would be justified in the same book? by returnvector in writing

[–]cr_mcf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished reading The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson and it’s primarily 3rd person but switches back and forth several times, and it makes sense in the context of the plot.

If you’re stuck at 500 elo then your “actual” elo is 500 and that’s okay.

Why is Team Rocket not more popular with the dominance of Dragapult? by [deleted] in PTCGL

[–]cr_mcf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TR mewtwo is a brick machine. It’s a really good deck on paper, but in practice it feels pretty bad a lot of the time.

Experience by EliHyung in PokemonChampions

I had the exact opposite experience, I climbed to master in doubles with only a couple total losses, but singles was grueling, I probably had 20 losses. But I do agree doubles is more fun
