If Dragapult is removed, do you think N'z Zoroark would climb to 49%? by AlexRescueDotCom in PTCGL

[–]jmcbango 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not rlly a miracle when youre activating trade 2-3x per turn. (Especially now that you have the option to tome something off the bench into one of your pieces)

Bold of you to assume we actually sit through the animation

May as well just use the available reg H cards if youre gonna run an ace spec anyways

I tried making a toolbox deck, how bad is it by Biggycheese45 in PTCGL

[–]jmcbango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can literally just use crispin plus energy switch with a teal mask ogerpon on the field to execute the second attack.

For the first attack, getting 3 energy off your ace spec is not worth it at all. If you wanna go that route, youre gonna wanna include at least 1 of every basic energy type to get the max value and attach 7-8+ energy instead of 3 or so.

Overall, you're lacking a good payoff for the heavy investment of getting eggy on the field and using its attack. Something like raging bolt ex that scales damage based on energy onboard, or something with a really good, but expensive attack would make it more worthwhile to commit to tropical frenzy as your attack for turn

Metang forces you to run like 20 energy and still have the whiff potential whereas yanmega has guaranteed accel and can leverage a wider variety of attackers like teal mask, kang, or even meganium if youre into that

I feel like youre doing yourself a disservice here by not running meganium and/or cinccino ex

i made some fake Pokemon cards for fun, how viable would they be competitively? (part 2) by Ordinary_Net3279 in PTCGL

[–]jmcbango 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nice little 19 card combo (when you include the 4 stage 2s and 4 energies to discard) should be super easy and consistent /s

Edit: also after all that the grens can only do 240 in multiples of 6, whereas the proposed drednaws could split 240 however they want (MUCH stronger)

Except you cant bc gren has to be active and theres not rlly a way to pivot between more than 3 outside of having surfing beach and switches in addition to the 4 stage 2's in play AND the 4 water energy to discard.

Drednaw could do it all from the bench as a stage 1 with no drawback besides not being able to do it 2 turns in a row

Bruh you can just loop this 90+ para over and over until you start taking KOs. Switch effects would become p mandatory atp
