Pokémon TCG

[sullen grove]

On other decks I'm still debating, I think mostly people bring 1 mars

But on some decks I feel that focusing on my own gameplay is more worth it than marsing

[brave harness]

ya im mainly on board with 1

[river dragon]

1 mars, 2 red

[brave harness]

and running mars first before thinking about a red card makes it feel higher value late game

[sullen grove]

I don't think there's any right or wrong, the only wrong opinion is that mars/rc has no value at all

[brave harness]

hooglandia detected

[river dragon]

i think i fought a couple of darktina who used tat against me

and i kept losing to it

[sullen grove]

I unfollowed him after he doubled down on that

[brave harness]

its so dumb

cause there was a valid argument to it before

[sullen grove]

But good to know a lot of NA players are still his lemmings

[brave harness]

he can just say "rare candy and other additions have swayed it in favor of mars/red card having some mathematical value"

cause thats legit what happened

the chance of disrupting stage 2 AND rare candy is a lot better compared to just willy nilly messing with their hand before

[sullen grove]

Most players don't follow him though I always see a mars/rc

[sullen grove]

Yeah vs darktina u have to keep your hand size manageable

So many games I won just because I marsed on 6 cards

[brave harness]

not using professors research at start of game when u have rare candy in ur hand so they hesitate red carding u

[sullen grove]

Don't play the mind games oh I'm gonna evolve next turn and kill him, good players know your outs anyways

[tacit stag]

wut da a mirror

except they dun have water i think

[sullen grove]

Wut da wat kinda deck isdat

[tacit stag]

dis is ur deck

[sullen grove]

I mean the opponent

[tacit stag]

o

beats me

[sullen grove]

I retired that deck btw too many crobats kekvv

[tacit stag]

maybe theyre just unlucky and 0 water energy

[tacit stag]

wut da

[river dragon]

[tacit stag]

of this deck

[sullen grove]

https://tenor.com/view/queue-up-tyler1-gif-20050902

[river dragon]

going to ub3

[sullen grove]

It's legit sometimes to do this ya esp. if let's say you have Zubat on board and rare candy in hand

[brave harness]

ye

[sullen grove]

Try to mindgame and not prof research that same turn

[tacit stag]

abrc

[brave harness]

even if they do just let the mars/rc rip, u now have research back in deck/potential draw rather than waste

[tacit stag]

always be red cardin

hostaging . ..

[brave harness]

im surprised i see meow / decid decks not running gio

[tacit stag]

always be giovanniing

[brave harness]

meow + gio hits so many breakpoints that u need

kills darkrai with cape, arceus, oricorio

[tacit stag]

fighting first turtonator user ive seen

and dey bricked so hard they decided to do the leave strat not even a min in

🦆 🚬

every game is a hostage situation

[brave harness]

lmao

[sullen grove]

Hmm I need to check whether my net deck has it or not. Kekvv

[tacit stag]

it betta

[brave harness]

[sullen grove]

Oh my net deck uses red

[tacit stag]

red poopy in dat deck

[brave harness]

red would make it

mmmm

red makes meow kill garchomp

[sullen grove]

Red is better vs caped gira

Yeah and garchomp

[brave harness]

but u already STAB rampardos down

i guess caped rampardos...

[sullen grove]

Altho mine is tsareena version so a lot of the other matchups can be handled by her

[brave harness]

ah

[sullen grove]

Well "mine" I just stole it

[brave harness]

[sullen grove]

[brave harness]

i was also gonna look into tsareena more until i lucksacked pulling FA deci

now im an owlcat researcher

[tacit stag]

wut da

wut da x 2 im fighting a zapdos ex

[brave harness]

18 trainer???

[sullen grove]

There are + and -, tsareena version is easier to retreat back and forth energy wise

[brave harness]

or pachirisu abomination

[tacit stag]

[sullen grove]

But need rng to finish games

[brave harness]

[sullen grove]

Turn 2 150, Charizard who

[tacit stag]

daz nyat fair

[sullen grove]

Did you say nya because it's meowscarada

[tacit stag]

nyo

[brave harness]

im concerned to see what tenor has for meows

[sullen grove]

I'm kinda concerned about your tyler1 queueing

[river dragon]

this is it, it's time to cumback

[tacit stag]

i am cumcerned too

[river dragon]

rng god doesn't want me to go into mb

[tacit stag]

also this guy was actually running the ga pika ex deck

with oriocorio slotted in

(i still won)

[river dragon]

ill be the gatekeeper for ub

[sullen grove]

Wut da

[tacit stag]

im onli getting matched into electric decks

da game is trying to keep me down

cuz im on a 13 win streak

[sullen grove]

The seaslug will handle them

[tacit stag]

dwu

i might get my first brick tho finally

yup dere it iz

sadi

[river dragon]

jajajawa

[sullen grove]

Ohhh the misery

[tacit stag]

wut da

[sullen grove]

Wait you whale on da playing mat

[tacit stag]

ofc

ogey they conceeded

as soon as i redcarded turn 3

i guess they ultra bricked

[sullen grove]

[tacit stag]

i need to pee so bad but i keep hitting queue up

[sullen grove]

Just pee with uno hando

[tacit stag]

im playing on emulator rn

[sullen grove]

Oh

[tacit stag]

my next oak will pull 2 greninjas and i will win

it pulled the next best thing which was oricorio against this giratina

[sullen grove]

Draw the other one and you'll never lose

[tacit stag]

i wish i could tell wtf this guy was doin

[sullen grove]

Should be put to kitchen nightmares

[tacit stag]

🍞 idiot sandwich

[river dragon]

[tacit stag]

monka

[sullen grove]

Try darktina agane?

[river dragon]

once i go ub3

need mental reset over there

[tacit stag]

lmao someone just iono'd me and gave me the perfect hand

[sullen grove]

Iono loves u

[tacit stag]

real

bait has never been easier

and they immediately conceeded

they used a sabrina just before that so i swapped out pyukumuku for greninja

[sullen grove]

Solgaleo must be the most loser deck I've ever seen in this meta

[tacit stag]

and then ablitied solgaleo in

[sullen grove]

I admit I misjudged the deck

[tacit stag]

it shud be gud

but it aint

[sullen grove]

Oh that guy baited as hell

[tacit stag]

ppl hesitate so much on killing da pyukumuku that it lets giratina set up

if he killed pyukumuku like 3 turns earlier when he had the chance i was boned

erm rare candy ?

[sullen grove]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gif-10574675557333847745

[tacit stag]

unironically if i pulled any of those 4 remaining cards in the 2 turns before

i wouldve won

[sullen grove]

Das y I put golbat in my r c us deck

But it's personal risk threshold

[tacit stag]

daz 4 pusc

[sullen grove]

Golbat is also quite useful sometimes

60 gmg to gira

[tacit stag]

wut da

exact same scenario again

[sullen grove]

See being a pussy is nice sometimes

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-meowscarada-dance-gif-4006193026237116559

[tacit stag]

iz ogey this time tho

cuz it s a giratina lunala player

dey have no way to win

[sullen grove]

Tbf the 2nd frog is not as useful as golbat

[river dragon]

this guy just straight give up

[tacit stag]

sad

[river dragon]

https://tenor.com/view/crying-cry-minions-comfort-sad-gif-17214878

[sullen grove]

Back to darktina I see

https://tenor.com/view/good-evil-star-wars-emporer-palpatine-darkside-gif-16390445967333586245

[river dragon]

[sullen grove]

Fr tho darktina is the most consistent deck

[brave harness]

If the goal is winning, there's no other deck to be playing

Statistically for ranked or tourney

[sullen grove]

In terms of mental stack it also bricks less often

It does mean the times it does brick more frustrating om

Another drawback games do be long

[river dragon]

damn, felt so long since i played this darktina

i think my last played was in ub2

[tacit stag]

bro i just had a guy kakuna me for 6 turns cuz he couldnt evolve into beedrill since i had double oricorio out

and they only got heads once

[sullen grove]

Guess they're looking for they're normal beedrill

[tacit stag]

i dont think they had normal beedrill was the issue

cuz they went to 19 card draws and no evo

their final card was the meowscarada card they needed too

and they couldnt get it cuz i marsd before

[tacit stag]

poor guy

and i finally bothered to do it

4 days with 5 games per day except today which was 10

[sullen grove]

Lul that's the one Reddit deck

[tacit stag]

classic leddit

[sullen grove]

It's fun to play in normals

[tacit stag]

2 bad its me

dat guy was definitely having the opposite of fun

[river dragon]

darktina lair

im back

. o O ( 👉 📉 )

[tacit stag]

nao keep climbing

if i juz had one more gold pokeball . . .

da flexing . . .

[sullen grove]

[tacit stag]

[river dragon]

gogdamn, 7 straight were all darktina opponent

[sullen grove]

The sweat is unreal I'm ngl

[tacit stag]

[sullen grove]

That's your hidden mmr

Cum ova

[tacit stag]

mayhaps

[river dragon]

me when I got red card and got the cards I needed

[sullen grove]

The few games where I hold prof oak when I have Zubat and rare candy in hand make me feel like a god

Fuck red cards

Anyways @river dragon you're full on darktina now

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-dark-side-anakin-skywalker-darth-vader-revenge-of-the-sith-gif-25702979

[river dragon]

20 lose streak in coming

this guy kept coming back and forth from ub4 to master ball for 40 mins

[sullen grove]

Dat happened to me

It is what it is with this game

Do you use darktina with komala harris or no

[tacit stag]

nyot da komala haris team

[sullen grove]

Komala harris sleepy (joe)

You can't make this up om

[sullen grove]

Yeah I tried adding Komala because I was fucked by Ori and then I started with him 2 games in a row

Go back to the bench

[river dragon]

there's 0 Oricorio so far from this match

[river dragon]

wanna try it soon tho

[sullen grove]

Ori is a risk, I switched to carni and Ori got eaten alive

[river dragon]

I wanna use this

[sullen grove]

Huh the JP name makes sense, wonder how they made the English name

Coma and koala I guess lmao

[river dragon]

was watching a couple in YouTube shorts back then about pronouncing pokemon names using jp and english

https://youtube.com/shorts/IKAv0kGTa0Y

[river dragon]

Sabrina

[twilit mason]

WTF

He's winning

[sullen grove]

[torn urchin]

Ultra ball is so cancer

thoughts on ditto instead of komala h

i wonder if ditto can bypass Oricorio ability using an EX attack

[sullen grove]

Current ditto obviously no, no energy

[river dragon]

double red card pop the fuck off

was about to say that I

then he conceded

[sullen grove]

Master soon

[tacit stag]

dos moar

[sullen grove]

Darktina player

[tacit stag]

bro might be a lil bricked

i miss my win streak points sadi

[river dragon]

[tacit stag]

maybe its time to turbo int back to gb1

[sullen grove]

Using darktina against hapless mofos in ub1

[tacit stag]

its ogey

i got matched into oricorio this game

daz fair rite

[sullen grove]

U have Kamala Harris now

[tacit stag]

speaking of

[sullen grove]

Das not fair

[tacit stag]

1 drew her turn 1 hehe

she in active tho which is kinda bad

[sullen grove]

Yeah I thought they balanced her well

[tacit stag]

dis greninja keeps going for my backline instead of kamala tho which is da wrong play

[sullen grove]

But dats y u have nurses

Ub1 people don't have clarity on their wincons 🦆

[river dragon]

I have a hunch, hopefully it's wrong

this 1 point will hunt me

[sullen grove]

You have a 1 match grace too

Even if u lose

Good luck

[river dragon]

u right

[tacit stag]

daz rite

[sullen grove]

Sheeesh 9 win streak

Popping off

Giratina miiiiight be a little mistake

[tacit stag]

man ive gotten 3 games with kamala solo start

it might be time to go back to arceus

[sullen grove]

By right it should be 20% chance onri

I guess u are raki

Arceus carnivine the most brainless deck I've played

I did have skill issue before though lol, need to remind myself to always pool arceus

[river dragon]

i swear opponents that concede while I have Cyrus online have map hack

[sullen grove]

They just have weak mental

So are u master

[river dragon]

yessir

[sullen grove]

[river dragon]

ill stop here

[sullen grove]

10 win streak to master

[tacit stag]

berry nice

600 games tho . . .

[sullen grove]

Your winrate went up after darktina

https://tenor.com/view/good-evil-star-wars-emporer-palpatine-darkside-gif-16390445967333586245

[river dragon]

yeah that's why I'll stop here

next reset, aim for top 10k

[sullen grove]

It's doable if u dun play 5 other gachers

[tacit stag]

noh ty

bro i have 5 cards in deck

0 rare candies 0 crobats

ogey i guess

[river dragon]

jajajawa

[sullen grove]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gif-10574675557333847745

[tacit stag]

i iono with 5 cards in hand

dont get any crobats back

good

[sullen grove]

Ya dat happens

[tacit stag]

my decks have been bricking so hard today

[sullen grove]

I prefer pokecomms over Iono in arceus

But ig you run both?

[tacit stag]

it wouldnt have mattered

my bottom 5 cards were both candies, both crobats and comms

it was literally unwinnable

now i switched to the lele tina deck

immediately start with 2 froakies, no balls, no research

[sullen grove]

You'll brick again

[tacit stag]

opponent has the mirror deck

with everything from start

[sullen grove]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gif-10574675557333847745

[tacit stag]

i cant even attach energy

cuz ill just die

[sullen grove]

Poke poke do be like that

If u dun wanna brick switch back to Tina without komala. But u jus know that will give you oricorio in front

That happened to me before

[tacit stag]

i am playing oricorio nao

[sullen grove]

I swear these devs are stalking me

[tacit stag]

i somehow won through the lele deck brick

[sullen grove]

That's skill baby

[tacit stag]

its ogey i immediately juz lost to another brick

[river dragon]

it do be like that

[sullen grove]

[river dragon]

[tacit stag]

wut da

[brave harness]

stick to darkrai, rating go up

https://tenor.com/view/cat-kitty-kitten-cute-pussy-cat-gif-15745491

grats kris

[tacit stag]

meybe its time to go on da 55% grind with darktina

or meybe its time to accept gold

[sullen grove]

There's also the turtle charizard deck which I think is legit

Also kinda brainless so less taxing

[tacit stag]

10 turns no water energy to use irida

today just isnt it i guess

[sullen grove]

Dats cos u don't have her foil

[tacit stag]

i gyot juan

[sullen grove]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gif-10574675557333847745

Oh wut da

I underestimated master

🧎‍♂️

[tacit stag]

this game is actively doing everything in its power

to stop me wining

and bring to me 50%

i might as well just coast with darktina atp

[sullen grove]

I akshully think it's better to play darktina nao than last season

Fewer mirrors and no gyarados

[tacit stag]

ofc the first game i get back on darktina is a highroll bee

[sullen grove]

Devs want u to pay moar

[tacit stag]

im dun

back to real games

[sullen grove]

Like wut, girls frontline

[tacit stag]

noh

laik bg3

[sullen grove]

Wut da I thought u r gacha god

[tacit stag]

its crazy how despite bricking 80% of my games i still have a 50% wr

ok i played two more and both were bricked into grass again

its just unwinnable

and this third one just pushed me into gb4

[sullen grove]

[tacit stag]

ive only run into weak matches and bricks

[sullen grove]

Daily pokepoke

[tacit stag]

its actually trying to make me lose

theres no way

[river dragon]

try solgaleo deck

[tacit stag]

turn 4

like how is this possible

i havent gotten a turn 3/4 evo at all today

when i played rare candy decks

this guy hasnt even used research or ball

he just naturally had all that in his hand

and the last card they had was the torracat evo they needed lmao

to beat my sabrina

actually mathematically impossible to outplay situations

[sullen grove]

Dats y reddit likes dat deck

[tacit stag]

its so ass outside of that

ive never lost against it unless it does exactly that turn 3/4

[sullen grove]

this fella just linked the most meta decks

nice for sample size of which variants of the decks work best in ranked tho

[twilit mason]

Cant wait till @river dragon weekly play

[brave harness]

it does make me curious what the highest rated "non meta" deck is

altho the line for that is hard to draw

[twilit mason]

Prob some cheese strat knockout quick

[brave harness]

theres some cards i wish were slightly stronger

i love RR tinkaton

such an insanely good full art

[sullen grove]

well he's 2000 mmr so that's what we can expect

[brave harness]

idk what i was expecting

i thought since he was posting it on reddit it would be exciting

but it ended just being "i put in a lot of playtime with the meta"

[torn urchin]

Da homie ragequit already

[sullen grove]

that MST guy played this at 1950 so probably this https://my.limitlesstcg.com/builder?i=3231A2b8131A2b9233A2b108122A135122A147231P0A7231P0A5132A2b69123A3151223A3155123A2147223A3144123A2155123A1225

[brave harness]

wtf

moltres with stokezard?

[untold mason]

cute board

[sullen grove]

Wooop that's close lil bro but no cigar

[river dragon]

[sullen grove]

Supposed to be a bad match up too, raki

[tacit stag]

bruh

lillie just wants me i guess . . .

[sullen grove]

the only foil i got is mallow

[tacit stag]

dat coudlve been a new brrrat . .. .

[sullen grove]

none of the other brrrats are meta though

with lilie you can use 2 lilies

[tacit stag]

but i gyot 3 immersives du . . ..

[sullen grove]

[brave harness]

im gonna ban the word brat in this channel

[tacit stag]

wut da

lmao

[sullen grove]

new solo battles drop event

(translation: free hourglass)

[brave harness]

also its shorter this time

if the leaks were correct

havent signed in yet

and then when it ends

we get a new pack already

still 0 guzma 0 lillie

[sullen grove]

might need to cough up pack points

that or wait to trade

im actually still missing quite a few too

might need to update my poketrade soon

[brave harness]

when i say 0 i just mean of high rarity

cause i dont wanna use normals

https://tenor.com/view/nailong-yellow-dragon-gif-11878184204091418697

[sullen grove]

well you can still craft

[brave harness]

ye

150 more packs.......

[sullen grove]

ez

just dont pull any new packs

[brave harness]

im hopeing some of the packs are complete shit

so i can do that

just need a pack to have no generic trainers or grass pkmn

[sullen grove]

@noble lion come here

[sullen grove]

this is the copest cope

[brave harness]

i know

[sullen grove]

im sure dena loves too much money for that to happen

[brave harness]

well i just need it to be shit for me

since i only play grass

[sullen grove]

actual grass toucher

from what I skimmed through "top" players seem to think grass has the most annoying decks now

[brave harness]

probably cause the most relevant grass decks the "designed" counter to the deck thats been meta for 2 sets now

LMAO

"this grass shits mad annoying"

[sullen grove]

fuck my monthly auto paid

[brave harness]

[sullen grove]

-980 JPY

[brave harness]

i havent done the 2 week trial yet

[sullen grove]

they do be mad annoying ngl 2 erika 1/2 lillie

and the capes

[brave harness]

ya its so awesome

i am hopeful that grass gets a stage 1 boss monster card again, but idk if it will be relevant in rare candy era

exeggutor was peak funny

[sullen grove]

They can be, maybe in conjunction with a rare candy backline

I already saw the water exegg used with frogs

[brave harness]

da crab

rare candy'd butterfree

[sullen grove]

Meowscarada + something will be good for the next few meta I think

Just my guess

That something can be stage 1/2

[brave harness]

ya

meowscarada is definitely the star

1 point with that effectiveness

why did they put a sleep pokemon in this drop event

[sullen grove]

and the deck thinning, too stronk

[brave harness]

very true

[sullen grove]

i havent realised i just put together a tinkatonk deck and auto

[brave harness]

i wouldve activated the premium pass if they gave u 2 copies of cards

for that sprigatito art

[sullen grove]

they always do this, even the free rayquaza

[tacit stag]

drue

[sullen grove]

annoying ahh

[tacit stag]

daz de onli thing stopping me from playing sprig

[brave harness]

it makes it so pointless to me

[sullen grove]

ogey...

[tacit stag]

non full arts in deck = poor

[brave harness]

rather have no arts than 1-1...

[brave harness]

thats why i dont count premiums

[sullen grove]

i just count the final evo

my full arts tsareena and meow count as rich deck

[brave harness]

thank god i got the decidueye

[river dragon]

got all promo card

[little oracle]

@sullen grove @river dragon @tacit stag

Never thought i got one

[river dragon]

[tacit stag]

[sullen grove]

[little oracle]

@tacit stag @river dragon

Whos gallery is this

[tacit stag]

nyot me

[river dragon]

[sullen grove]

the normies won't even realise the hypno in the middle if they dont click, clever

[river dragon]

how I wish I won that FA Cynthia back then

[sullen grove]

back then? the pack isnt gone

🐳

[river dragon]

low chance of it appearing on my wp

although I still see some randoms still pull in GA

[tacit stag]

wonder pick always has 2-3 packs which are old packs for me

no matter wut

[sullen grove]

i always notice the longer the current set goes the more old packs are in WP

which makes sense

the lucky / gumis of the world have gotten all they needed

[tacit stag]

i wood neva

[hallow bronze]

rng even saved gumi in baldys stream

[twilit mason]

Just whale

It's just that easy

[river dragon]

[twilit mason]

[sullen grove]

Top 5k

I used that janky charizard moltres too

[river dragon]

sheesh

[sullen grove]

I was on a losing streak cos there are too many tapu leles

But once they're gone I suddenly got lucky

[river dragon]

https://tenor.com/view/tapu-lele-pokemon-pokémon-pokemon-sun-pokemon-moon-gif-13698594487969606181

[sullen grove]

They have to misplay so hard to lose to charizard

[river dragon]

can't wait for some ultrabeast to pop off later

[sullen grove]

But on the flipside I never lost to annoying ass grass decks

[sullen grove]

I heard there will be prize manipulation

Wondering how they will translate it to mobile

[river dragon]

Necrozma might still be sleeping too, which we might see a fusion necrozma-solgaleo

[sullen grove]

Leaks BEGGING

[river dragon]

When does the season reset again, is it every 1st day of the month

[sullen grove]

26 may

Just 9 days left

I think I should actually stop queueing until last day lol

[little oracle]

Most of them from

Uhh

Iphone

[sullen grove]

I lied I queued again addicted to rng slot machine

[river dragon]

[sullen grove]

I'm higher than lac's wc3 MMR now so we chilling

[brave harness]

of all cards that could show up

welp ....

[sullen grove]

Gratz anyways

[tacit stag]

shinies ruined these packs

[brave harness]

real

and its always the useless cards that get shiny FAs

waste of space and luck

[tacit stag]

i didnt mind the sr shinies cuz they were new cards and good looking ones for da most part

but these are just ga shinies dat noone are gonna care about or use

literally just exist to dilute the pool

[sullen grove]

Yooo kinda pog

[tacit stag]

grrr

[sullen grove]

Shaddup u got your lillies

[tacit stag]

noh

[sullen grove]

[tacit stag]

i got 5 shiny 2*s but onli 2 brrratty lillies

dat couldve been 7 of dem

[sullen grove]

Didn't you get mallow also

Not a lot of others

[tacit stag]

dat wuz pity

[sullen grove]

So out of the others you chose mallow, hmm

She's probably the most usable tbh the new trainers are mixed this time round

[tacit stag]

[sullen grove]

So the same as always ig

[tacit stag]

yea thats totally why i chose mallow first

[sullen grove]

Yeppp you are a meta frog

[tacit stag]

yea. . .

da sad thing about deez trainer cards iz even if dey release a better version of cards targetted by the trainers

they cant be in ex form

[sullen grove]

They need to release new trainer ver ig for that

[tacit stag]

so theres probably never gonna be a better bersion of them

wut da two of dem today

[brave harness]

JUICER pack

[sullen grove]

Man why do Lana's pokemons suck

[tacit stag]

cuz dey uggo

[sullen grove]

wut da

[river dragon]

https://www.rxddit.com/r/PTCGP/s/v4abkBl9x6

[tacit stag]

juz stop using it lule

i actually stopped using red card rn cuz i cant keep track of what the 10 different deck archetypes have rn

and think when its good to use it

too much effort

[river dragon]

[tacit stag]

wood u rather have two erikas or lillie erika split for grass deck

[sullen grove]

no double meaning from you?

i think some people use 2 erikas 1 lilie

[tacit stag]

i dun wanna use 3 heals

doubt ill ever be in a situation where i can consecutively use all 3 or need to

so id rather have 2 but idk if lillie will make an important breakpoint or nyot

[sullen grove]

just use whoever is the full art

[tacit stag]

i see the most common variant rn runs double erika + single lillie

[sullen grove]

[tacit stag]

but where is ur giovanni den . . .

[river dragon]

erika and double red card

[sullen grove]

no need, the bird can snipe if needed

just need to keep the pressure up

[tacit stag]

well the only thing its needed for is meow to onshot arceus

but i guess u just outheal the arceus and 2 shot it instead ?

nyot possible if crobat is setup tho

[sullen grove]

i think on average meow deck should setup faster

but yeah u shud try if theres a slot for giovanni

the lots of heals part is important tho

[tacit stag]

grrr

[river dragon]

im not comfortable running 1 decidueye

[tacit stag]

im okay with it

even if its the last thing to get setup and both meows are dead

youve probs done more than enough dmg to win with birb

in da back

[river dragon]

have you tried zard deck

[tacit stag]

noh

[river dragon]

it's popping off in unrank

[tacit stag]

i refuse to use zard mlm

[sullen grove]

thing is it's also hard for arceus to kill meow

with capes and shit

[tacit stag]

nyot if theyre playing against me

[sullen grove]

[tacit stag]

i kinda hate the arceus deck now

it actually just god low rolls or everyone just rolls higher than me

[sullen grove]

im bringing the chari/moltres to 1700

[tacit stag]

the high roll rate seems way less than other decks

cuz of the 6 basics u have to run

[sullen grove]

yeah enemy arceus = always crobat turn 2 + 2 carnis + arceus

[river dragon]

would love to try soon

[sullen grove]

my arceus = ...

[tacit stag]

ive played like 20 games of arceus ex

never once have i ever gotten a double crobat setup

[sullen grove]

jk though i also won quite a few games turn 2

the highroll is busted

[tacit stag]

but every other arceus ive seen has been able to

half the time i cant even get a single crobat setup

[sullen grove]

i played more than 20 im sure and i think i literally never got double crobat

[tacit stag]

mathematically it shouldnt even be that hard to get it set up

by da game juz hates me

[sullen grove]

to be fair half the time you dont even need crobat setup to win

deck is just stronk

[tacit stag]

idk . . .

if ur turn 1 and u dont get crobat up by turn 5

i always feel like im just bound to lose at that point

[sullen grove]

just highroll mang

[tacit stag]

ye i guess

it just feels worse rn somehow than last set

rare candy highrolls just create such a wide gap

[sullen grove]

idk if you've met the horde of tapu leles

those are the real cancer

[tacit stag]

tapus arent rly in ub1/2

noone runs energy hoarding decks here rly

[river dragon]

it's solgaleo lair

[tacit stag]

i havent seen a single solgaleo yet in ub

unironically its all grass variants rn

[river dragon]

[sullen grove]

solgaleo is free points for darktina

[tacit stag]

just a lot of grass variants

ye i was running darktina to try and farm solgaleos at the start

but there wasnt any

[sullen grove]

just play chari im 100% vs grass

but that's why im hating tapu leles

[tacit stag]

noh

i hate charizard mlm

every season dey say charizard will be goog

but then its always sub 50% wr

[sullen grove]

it might be sub 50 but it's 100% against grass

[tacit stag]

which charizard even is it

theres too many variants

[sullen grove]

i actually use the jank moltres/charizard version

[tacit stag]

[tacit stag]

pass

[sullen grove]

more stable with still highroll opportunities

and normal chari for yellow birds / meow

[tacit stag]

woodnt comms be more consistent over iono

unless ur trying to overcome giga insane bricks in which case youve probs lost regardless

bro im like convinced matchmaking just has it so it fors ur winrate to drop

switch to cat/owl deck and i fight 0 ex decks in 5 games in a row

i cant belive i just lost to a bastiodon rolling heads 3 times

[sullen grove]

Hmm u right I dont recall using iono actually it's already consistent without it

Maybe I should get another cape instead

Or red

[sullen grove]

Clasig Lacari tilt mang

[tacit stag]

literally any one of those had to be a tails and i wouldve won too

im not even tilted atp its just a given

that the game is gonna push me to 50% wr

cuz matchmaking i guess

im surprised im still above 60% rn despite being nearly 100 games in

[sullen grove]

Get another 100

https://tenor.com/view/queue-up-tyler1-gif-20050902

[tacit stag]

noh

6 win streak broken

time for another 5 loss streak

i wish the game would just give me win lose win lose instead of these streaks

[sullen grove]

Das rng game

[tacit stag]

rng

[sullen grove]

Got to say the sweating level is so real though, casual and ranked play so different

Even if the game is mostly rng

[tacit stag]

man i just had a game with weedcat out for 3 turns using its attack, used both oaks

and i never got a 2nd basic card or ball

like its just fate telling me to stop at that point i guess

also ive played 20 games and found 0 meow mirrors whats up with that

where did the 20 meow players i played earlier go

[sullen grove]

they got up to masterball

it's a plague of meow and tapu lele and darkrai never left

[tacit stag]

ye dw

ill change back to arceus agane and theyll be back in ub

[river dragon]

June we climb

[tacit stag]

and theres the 5 min roll losses into 0 progress tonight

thats enough of this im done with ranked for now i guess

i thought rare candy wouldve made the game fun but its just worse

unless i play darktina which im not going to

[brave harness]

U should be able to run 4 trainers with 1 poke comm or 5 if none

Lillie and Guzma are the same deck slot until you open u minus one pokeball

And then mars and iono are same slot

Also don't forget that you can take dartrix out for a poke comms and it not only increases value of use but also gets you a crazy advantaged play with

Poke comms away a basic that sprig pulled or last basic
Poke ball to get the basic back

[raven hamlet]

[tacit stag]

wut da

Weren't you still playing TCG Live?
