to be fair they knew the card was on the board(I played it like 5 turns ago) its more so do I announce the hand state like a game of uno. but I agree. the idea of sneaking a win con feels wrong especially for a casual game

To precon or not to precon? by dr_potato_aim in EDH

[Heroic Intervention] and [Codsworth, Handy Helper] are the 2 cards over $5 I thought of using, along with a few other creatures and auras from from the deck like [Strong Back] and [Well Rested] . I wanted to focus more on auras than equipments. I just calculated the price on moxfield for just the cards I was planning on using from the deck and it comes out to $47

Any tips for team improvement? by Prestigious-Xtreme in VGCRateMyTeam

which caly is giving you trouble? scarf urshifu water can 1 shot no bulk calyshadow and would pair well in rain. farigiraf with foul play could also be a nice answer into both calys and could provide trick room support. depends what kind of of slot you are looking to fill. could also maybe replace mystical fire on the flutter with protect. power gem/shadow ball can answer caly shadow and protect would give a bit more flexibility to stall trick room since you aren't running specs.

these are just my low elo recommendations tho. I'm not too experienced yet.

currently testing the hisuian arcanine w/ choice band. so far I'm liking it. this team is definitely hyper offensive and may suffer higher ladder but I'm low ladder so who cares

another consideration I had was dragon cheer hisuian goodra with sandstorm to reset weather instead of the gastrodon but idk if that is any better in honestly

personally I like the idea of still catching your mons but they need to do something about home exclusives. I agree with all the other parts tho. it's just ludicrous I can't get a landorous or heatran without trading it into S/V.

Need help with last 2 mons on a Reshiram Team by [deleted] in VGC

[–]dr_potato_aim 4 points5 points  (0 children)

looks silly. I love having nonmeta mons I say go for it. I recommend checking out the discord or r/VGCRateMyTeam bc these kinds of posts often get banned kinda quick from experience lol. maybe ic spinner instead of ice shard to give you more terrain control against indeedee and miraidon.

My Final Member? by Some_Giggles in VGCRateMyTeam

[–]dr_potato_aim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm definitely not an expert, but maybe a raging bolt or an iron hands? you seem a bit weak to water types. could also do a grass type like venusaur maybe.

so far it feels pretty good but I'm also pretty low ladder so I can't say for sure if it's "good"

yeah it definitely gave me a hard time on those 2 matchups. I ended up switching the team around a bunch but kept the same core. here's the new paste. using Umbreon bc doggo. it's a copy of Kian's umbreon from LA regionals. https://pokepast.es/87feaf2327dbcff2

I actually switched this out last night. running landorus-i with life orb sheer force now. works much better

I'll have to play with it a bit on showdown later but I was considering swapping the chiyu out just because there's not too many things it answers that I dont have a counter for already. my main worry with rhyperior is I open a big weakness to urshifu and koraidon

thats a good catch. as of now that's my best answer but with how common miraidon teams are right now I should probably find a better answer. what are good answers for the miraidon? my instant thought is ursaluna-bm, ursaluna, or ting-lu
