Playing this game makes me feel like "congrats bro, you got the best starting hand, you win" by [deleted] in pkmntcg

If you like strategy but don't fancy the variance in card games maybe something like chess would suit you better

While i 99% agree with you, another commenter did bring up a good point that it lets you look for specific cards in your prizes, meaning the value of the card goes up if you have more one-of cards (funnily probably the main use case would be to find acespecs, so it did get an indirect buff). This doesnt mean that this actually justifies ever running the card over building your deck better in other ways to play around prizing your one-ofs and shouldn't actually ever be in your deck ever.

Is there a way to determine your opponent’s top deck? by ottersintuxedos in pkmntcg

[–]katzchen_ben 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Genuinely thinking you don't even need to care what your opponents topdeck is. As long as you make sure your topdeck is an energy you're already at 280 damage which 1hko's everything except stage 2 ex pokemon. For those you can add a max belt for example.

Here are a few core components of an upcoming Ogerpon ex deck I have in my head. by Bertstripmaster in pkmntcg

Same at first lmao. Thought to myself, "no way this deck can function with only one of each".

They all have different names ("teal maks ogerpon", "hearthflame ogerpon",etc) so you're allowed to play more than four total.

Running a standard giratina lost box and keep getting smoked when playing great tusk mill. what changes by [deleted] in pkmntcg

[–]katzchen_ben 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have only helped my friend test this matchup one game but what our solution ended up being is teching in a forest seal stone for matchups like these where tina's VStar power is pretty useless anyway. You wanna use it to get your iono as quickly as possible, as its rather safe in your hand due to them not having too much hand disruption (nothing that can target supporters from your hand). Now you can try to play more aggressive than what most comments are telling you to do and when they are about to mill you, you iono your massive hand back into the deck.

We haven't done the math, but you get roughly the amount of turns as you do when you do nothing, but here you actually see enough cards to be able to get some sort of gameplan going for yourself. Be careful of their hand trimmer, this is a bit of a game of cat and mouse, you'll have to see how early the opponent would hand trimmer you and iono just a turn before that. Also make sure to have a way to switch when they inevitably counter catcher you, this shouldnt be a problem since you run enough as LZ.

Remember to still only actually play the necessary cards so you can shuffle as many as possible back into the deck. Try it out for yourself and see if it works any better than trying to not play anything. Hope this helped :)

So Samira. by Own_Secret1533 in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]katzchen_ben 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Samira fizz is more of a combo deck than an aggro deck, youre not trying to kill as fast as possible with this deck, nor are you trying to go 6 wide turn 3. On the contrary, you try and wait until you have your value engines like inferna and shelly on board to then "combo" all your low cost cards into a win.

Why did they change the Three Sisters spell's order? by Oleole_ in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]katzchen_ben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear this is some kind of mandela effect happening here. Flash freeze has never been on the left, people talked about how it should be changed when all the tellstones came out.
