Wait. Protect on Cloaked things is actually fairly common. Cloak prevents secondary effects, yeah, but protect is to avoid other things.

And honestly we've seen protect specs Flutter at high level play before. 🤷

Would anyone perhaps be willing to give me some advice as to what to add to this team im working on? Trying to get back into vgc, but i am notoriously awfull at restricted formats. I've got to this point so far but I've reached a point where I don't know where to go now, aside from fixing evs and such. If someone more experienced then me could recommend pokemon or something it would help me alot. (It's obviously not complete so ignore evs/incomplete movesets)

I'm also trying to open my TCG store - increased income leads to me paying into business loans.

I wouldn't have been able to meet their requirements if I kept with my current job. Just not clearing enough.

BUT - I'm ordering my wife's ring today. magisweat

awwwhe :3

unless tcg is netloss game idrk

lofty tartan
#

It's more that if you get a business loan in the way I'm doing, it's very likely I'll have to put down a deposit of 1 - 10%

#

So like a 10% deposit on a 75,000 dollar loan will run me like 7500 dollars. My current job just can't keep up with that.

#

I'm working with my state's small business development center and an advisor to obtain funding and lock down a location.

chrome knot
#

ouuuh

#

it gets complicated i see i see

lofty tartan
#

We'll focus mostly on Pokemon TCG and VGC - but you can't tunnel vision in a TCG store because that'll run you out of business.

#

So we're gonna have all of the really big competitive ones.

#

Also you'll be able to rent space to paint Gundams or play games on a projector, etc.

lmfao ive been trying to build discharge miraidon all day i have no idea what im doing anymore help

Yeah we're just trying to bring sealed product to the area to ensure people can get it at MSRP

#

And there's literally no Pokemon TCG competition outside of big box stores like Walmart or Target.

chrome knot
#

make a policy tho

#

msrp if you can take the seal off in store

lofty tartan
#

If a set is getting hard-scalped like Prismatic was, we're gonna have a store policy for seals, yeah.

#

We'll sell at MSRP and take the seal.

#

To ensure the box doesn't go into the secondary market at 300% price

So like is a terrain disrupter a good idea on most teams right now? Like either rilla or indeedee to hose mirai terrain? Cause I legit see mirai in over 50 percent of my games lmao

lofty tartan
#

Rilla and Indeedee are good to disrupt Miraidon's terrain, yes.

#

They're both slower so if Miraidon and Indeedee/Rilla are started together, Indeedee/Rilla will set terrain after Miraidon does. You'll win the war every time.

#

Often they may have him in the back if they see terrain on your team.

forest arrow
#

slowest mirai atm is running at 158

#

you should always get terrain up

lofty tartan
#

^^^

red willow
#

I got ya most teams Ive been cooking have weather + terrain setters was just wondering if they were like a necessary evil to have or I might be able to squueeze by w/o one on a team at some point

lofty tartan
#

It helps a lot if you're not carrying Ice Spinner or something similar. Getting rid of Miraidon's terrain is gonna cut his damage by ~33% and open the team up to sleep effects.

red willow
#

Was heavily considering ice spinner > u turn or aqua jet on urshifu r but not sure which one

lofty tartan
#

I used Ice Spinner Urshifu at a regional before. It was spicy, in a lot of cases.

#

Gives you a meaningful amount of damage into Amoonguss too

forest arrow
#

well if your running scarf, jet isnt needed as much imo

#

prob still want pivoting with uturn

lofty tartan
#

Yeah I was running Scarf then, myself.

red willow
#

Thats a valid point

lofty tartan
#

I think it was Spinner/U-turn/CC/Surging

forest arrow
#

Yeah thats a nice set

#

although i wouldnt be comfortable bringing urshifu into a mirai mu

lofty tartan
#

No, it was a format without Mirai so it was a lot more reasonable to just send that.

#

I still say I should've been on Regidrago for that Regional.

solid frigate
lofty tartan
#

Yeah it was like Reg... E?

forest arrow
#

Yeah that was awhile back

lofty tartan

Much safer to just send Ice Spinner Ursh

You don’t need shifu on swordfish

But usually the team has lando or shifu or both

Idk Im just trying to cheese the early ranks by sending out torndaus and kyogre and spamming water spout after tailwind lmao

its not gonna work anyway

maybe because i run slow Ogre

red willow

#

Not sure on my actual speed stat atm cant check till I que up and he gets demoted to l50 lol

solid frigate

which is not enough to outspeed Sash Urshifu without tailwind

#

Should I be generally more afraid of mirai if Im on 2 water types than with my lunala korai balance team? Lol

#

Im gonna try to kill it w Zacian but not sure how smooth itll go

solid frigate
#

Fast spout imo is just feels bad against Lunala or i am tweaking

red willow

Well yeah theyll just wide guard ya and get a free turn no?

solid frigate

no like

Lunala in that regional teams run Speed

So i run Kyogre faster than Lunala under TR while Faster than Shadow Rider under TW

I think Lando in rain is pretty scary for Miraidon. Much worse than Urshifu.

yeah but compare to Koraidon's Secondary effect with Sun

rustic mountain
#

just the natural opposite of kyogre

molten oasis
#

I was joking, I think groudon sucks rn

#

I don’t see a reason to not use koraidon unless you really want the immunity to electric ig

rustic mountain
#

but yea groudon is hot ass rn

#

koraidon has sun on steroids

#

and is just better rn in the format

astral kelp
#

groudon just has a shit speed stat and doesnt have the other stuff to make up for it

#

imo lol

#

actually when i think about it

#

other than the sun thing its kinda like a worse caly ice

I love my dog

#

I know lol

molten oasis
#

Only reason I haven’t abused Mirai Lunala

forest arrow
#

Thinking about it Zac is actually super good into that team

molten oasis
#

You have to get around incin

#

Which is what kyogre does

#

Zacogre good into that comp and I think my 6 are gas for it

#

Lando is goated

forest arrow
#

When I was playing Mirai Lunala is felt really good to have a shifu

#

Korai kind of makes it to where I can’t lol

molten oasis
#

Zac really really appreciate ground coverage on like, any team

#

And like, shifu’s great as well the team just needs, not shifu

#

Plus lando helps into korai weezing stuff

shadow wind
#

Now this is cinema

Holy goated 🙏

I can't believe the user infinitygroudon doesn't use Groudon

No one is brave enough to use him

Not that shocking

#

Trying Groudon Miraidon again

rustic mountain
molten oasis
#

cant wait to see how broken next gens mon is

rustic mountain
#

itll either be even more busted or as mid as the gen 5 legends

#

no in between

#

my theory tho is like

#

they want the new legends to be central parts of the game so comp wise they r gna make em viable

#

atleast in recent years. all the new legends have been central parts of the meta

#

restricted or otherwise

molten oasis
#

yea true

rustic mountain
#

honestly like

molten oasis
#

i am curious what gen 10 will be like

rustic mountain
#

maybe even an extra reason why xerneas wasnt in the game

#

wouldve made koraidon and miraidons life hell

#

future gens they dont necessarily care as much cuz like theyll b new legends to take center stage

molten oasis
#

xern is so busted lmao

rustic mountain
molten oasis
#

very curious if that mon will ever get power crept out, besides a dynamax meta

#

idt it was that good in dynamax

rustic mountain
#

nah it sucked

molten oasis
#

very different time (i hated dynamax i played for a week and stopped)

rustic mountain
#

dmax was weird

#

i had fun w/ it tho

molten oasis
#

i wish i played early swsh vgc

#

like maybe i would have enjoyed dynamax if i played and learned the game earlier on

rustic mountain
#

i started vgc like series 5 so i missed a decent amount of early swsh meta

molten oasis
#

starting in double res was harsh

rustic mountain
#

always gna b a hard time to start vgc haha

graceful scaffold
#

Are you going? If so good luck emoji_6

rustic mountain
#

?

molten oasis
#

true but i feel like its easier to learn in earlier formats

rustic mountain
#

no im sayin like yea itll always b hard to start w/ dres

molten oasis
#

oh gotcha lol

rustic mountain
#

but yea like ofc its gna be a steep learning curve regardless

molten oasis
#

hard game to get good at

#

but one you do get there it is a fun game

rustic mountain
#

yea

shadow wind
#

Wish I was there 😔

rustic mountain
#

nd then u realize how much more u can still learn

molten oasis
#

theres so much on your journey its wild

#

i cant spell today

rustic mountain
molten oasis
#

lmfao

shadow wind
#

I will not listen to these lies

#

He's perfect

molten oasis
#

just make pulse and blades 100% acc

#

why do the calys get 100% acc stronger moves (dlc)

#

($90 mons gotta make it worth it)

rustic mountain
#

ofc

shadow wind
#

I've been thinking of using EQ

molten oasis
#

if groudon is perfect why doesn't it exist

shadow wind
#

But I might be throwing with that one

molten oasis
#

i dont see that mon anywhere

rustic mountain
#

ud think like

#

oh miraidon is so good ground type immunity

#

and then its nowhere still

shadow wind
#

It's cause draco exists

molten oasis
#

draco still nukes the guy

#

and then nobody likes precipice blades

shadow wind
#

Dang no specs makes this guy a wuss

molten oasis
#

yea that just casually does 80% without specs like

#

that sucks

shadow wind
#

I mean it's a restricted

molten oasis
#

yea but its against, another restricted

#

tbf miraidon is broken

#

think thats why theres less bolt too

#

why play bolt if you have space for a miraidon

shadow wind
#

God forbid a guy get lucky

rustic mountain
# shadow wind It's cause draco exists

yea but partner/team theres ways to play around miraidon that dont require u to just eat a draco w/o attacking first or swapping to an immunity like flutter which is great on sun

molten oasis
#

lmao

#

discharge paralyzes my zacian like everytime

#

its so annoying

rustic mountain
#

oof

shadow wind
#

30% is honestly fairly high

rustic mountain
#

yea

shadow wind
molten oasis
#

its totally like 80% when my zac is on the field

rustic mountain
#

ur zacian likes being para'd

molten oasis
#

im also just generally unlucky oldmanshrug

shadow wind
#

Why am I playing against a special Necrozma Dusk Mane

yep

shadow wind
molten oasis
#

meanwile 2 of us have mons we made our entire personalities

shadow wind
#

It's ok this mon is broken

rustic mountain
#

atleast give urself 1 broken mon yea

shadow wind
#

I got Groudon and 5 broken mons 😭

molten oasis
#

i do that normally, although the video baek made has me on ray zac, for a bit

rustic mountain
#

3 broken mons + 2 good mons + groudon

molten oasis
#

just for fun mostly its a fun duo

#

who are the 2 good mons

rustic mountain
#

take a guess

molten oasis
#

fari and hearth?

rustic mountain
#

correct

molten oasis
#

fair, iron hands is just built different

rustic mountain
#

hands and flutter are super good, they did well w/o an ability for like most of sv

molten oasis
#

flutter has stupid stats

#

they both do but flutter, even having 55 in hp and defense gets so bulky

goated stat spread

rustic mountain
molten oasis
#

i mostly say that cuz it can just eat a hit from pao which i think is, kinda dumb

rustic mountain
#

hands is the bulky one haha flutters just like super flexible glass cannon that isnt so paper weight sometimes

molten oasis
#

lowers defense and then its capable of eating the hit anyway lol

rustic mountain
#

yea

molten oasis
#

it feels bulkier in non restricted formats fs tho

rustic mountain
#

as do most things

molten oasis
#

yea

rustic mountain
#

even reg g to reg i

#

things dont seem as bulky wen u got 2 broken mons to worry about over 1

molten oasis
#

yea, and then the screens pop up

rustic mountain
#

right

molten oasis
#

glad to see grimm getting mroe popular cuz i do like grimmsnarl's design but its so damn annoying

rustic mountain
#

its a solid mon

molten oasis
#

twaving and full para'ing my entire team sucks lol

rustic mountain
#

haha yea

#

can def b annoying, jus gta have ways to deal w/ it or minimize its effectiveness

molten oasis
#

i tend to try and pressure with zac, if i can

#

if they have an incin that plan goes out the window cuz i want my boost

#

and then i get lando

shadow wind
#

Landorus makes me suicidal

rustic mountain
#

depending on the mu, might have to just eat that -1 and get the ko on grimm if u can. no screens or speed control seems like a good trade off for that

molten oasis
rustic mountain
#

damn fr?

molten oasis
#

grimmsnarl gets so tanky

rustic mountain
#

most grimm are more sp def based rn

#

so theyd have to calc for it

molten oasis
#

ah, well lemme see

rustic mountain
#

do the common grimm spread from the winning milwuakee team

molten oasis
#

oh it does, im dumb lmao

rustic mountain
molten oasis
#

172 Atk Zacian-Crowned Behemoth Blade vs. 252 HP / 124 Def Grimmsnarl: 216-254 (106.9 - 125.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO idk if this is that spread but it would need impish

#

172 Atk Zacian-Crowned Behemoth Blade vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Grimmsnarl: 170-204 (84.1 - 100.9%) -- 6.25% chance to OHKO huh, even then

idk i underestimate its damage at neutral cuz, its never at neutral usually

molten oasis
#

the tang grimm is now in there

rustic mountain
#

also stab

molten oasis
#

in my calculator

rustic mountain
#

yea like

#

not every1 is gna be running that either but its a good benchmark to be aware of

shadow wind
#

Why is it so hard to make a Miraidon team without just copying like 4 mons from the worlds team

molten oasis
#

ofc

molten oasis
#

at least usually they do

shadow wind
#

I'm going to have to be so mega ultra creative

rustic mountain
#

im sorry did a miraidon team not just win a regional w/ like only 1 of the mons from the worlds team? lmfao

molten oasis
#

being creative is not worth it (i still have this problem)

shadow wind
#

I'm just a dude

molten oasis
#

tang's are also just, incredible builders

rustic mountain
#

they also arent forcing themselves to use 1 mon

#

which certain ppl here do

molten oasis
#

hey zacian is actaully solid rn

shadow wind
#

Who would ever do that

rustic mountain
molten oasis
#

key word, solid, cuz its being outshined by fucking ho-oh

rustic mountain
#

id say its passable

shadow wind
#

What about...

rustic mountain
molten oasis
#

at least zac is faster than most things in the format

rustic mountain
#

yea

#

it definitely doesnt have 0 going for it

molten oasis
#

groudon, is 90 speed, which isnt good lmao

rustic mountain
#

hence passable

rustic mountain
molten oasis
#

i feel like it has a decent chunk of things going for it theres just an abundance of incin so its harder to play, and why do that when you can just play miraidon

shadow wind
rustic mountain
#

zacian got gutted and its just tough to use now imo

molten oasis
#

revert one of the nerfs imo

rustic mountain
#

lower the atk stat sure, keep the +1 every time it switches in tho

molten oasis
#

not both, just one

rustic mountain
#

yea

molten oasis
#

that would also buff zama but like, thats not the worst thing ig

rustic mountain
#

i think its fine tbh

molten oasis
#

zama's strong but zac would hella benefit from not having to preserve its time to come in for so long

rustic mountain
#

they wont revert it but yea zacian just has had too much that hit it b/w gens

#

still has solid typing good stats and what not

#

but its too honest

molten oasis
#

unforutnately yea, if the effort is put in its fine but definitely hard to utilize well

shadow wind
#

Now what if

#

Groudon had a 100% accurate ground move that was HP scaled

#

That was boosted by the sun

molten oasis
#

it probably be better but like

rustic mountain
molten oasis
#

kyogre has spout

#

and kyogre is struggling

rustic mountain
#

its seeing a resurgence as of late

molten oasis
#

and you still have to deal with your speed being low

shadow wind
molten oasis
#

its resurgence is hoping zacogre gets solved so the mon actually functions lol

rustic mountain
#

idk how thats gna convert to actual results but kyogre isnt being abandoned

shadow wind
#

What in the

rustic mountain
molten oasis
#

its not i think kyogre is actually solid into the tang stuff if you get around mirai

shadow wind
#

Is my elo that low that I'm running into other groudons 😭

rustic mountain
#

itd b w/ other partners

molten oasis
rustic mountain
#

i thought itd b better

molten oasis
#

i like swordfish but i think just giving zac miraidon is way better

#

id say CSR but im still of the opinion that duo is really stupid

#

incin becomes lebron james

rustic mountain
#

cuz u just chunk stuff nd if lunala if forced to wide guard u free up ur partner and kyogre to just hit their partner

molten oasis
#

yea, its good pressure on that team

#

and thats also why i like lando with ogre, you have an anti mirai thing

rustic mountain
#

av mirai and electric seed lunala dont do much to kyogre if it teras, not before it does a lot to u

#

it depends tho ive beaten plenty of kyogre w/ that team

molten oasis
#

the kyogre has to play better

#

its still not easy cuz well position ursa nukes it

#

and band shifu probably does 80-90% to it i'd imagine

rustic mountain
#

they have to recognize their win condition and play towards it from the jump, if they realize a turn too late its over

molten oasis
#

yea

#

kinda goin back to zac a bit i've thought about zackorai a lot but i think the trap of it being too offensive happens too much

rustic mountain
#

i usually dont bring it to kyogre mus

molten oasis
#

its rough in that mu

rustic mountain
#

band urshi is better

molten oasis
#

i like thunder kyo for urshi

#

shifu's a headache for it otherwise

rustic mountain
#

yea its flexible

#

thunders good if urshi is otherwise an issue tho

molten oasis
#

yea i agree

rustic mountain
#

i even respect triple water

molten oasis
#

hydro punp is kinda nice

#

ignoring wide guard is lit

rustic mountain
#

just accuracy check

#

but if it hits damn thats gna hurt

molten oasis
#

does like 80% to zama

rustic mountain
#

depending on item or tera i think it just kos

molten oasis
#

i have av so it doesnt

#

but on specs or mystic water i bet it does

#

or tera water

rustic mountain
#

yea

shadow wind
#

Man why is Groudon just cope Koraidon

#

He literally does nothing better

molten oasis
#

they made a better sun setter

rustic mountain
#

yea

molten oasis
#

it was gonna happen, i'd imagine we get a better rain setter eventually

rustic mountain
#

omg lol

#

sets rain and then what

molten oasis
#

if its like the miraidons 1.3 boost

shadow wind
#

I doubt they'll make another mon like Kyogre

molten oasis
#

then give the mon spout, survive that kek

rustic mountain
#

nah man

#

thats crazy

shadow wind
#

Stab water spout with a 150 base spatk is a once a series set

molten oasis
#

why not twice a set Wolfe_Hello

#

(this would suck so much)

just to deal with

its GF, they'd make it more broken

rustic mountain
#

like u wouldnt want its type to be water for one especially if u increase its damage output in rain

molten oasis

the other options are peli and poli

Dang Giratina is fat

rustic mountain

too bad it sucks

molten oasis

fat and does nothing back

molten oasis
#

all our ice type mons are super offensive or CIR

rustic mountain
#

it was a status condition

molten oasis
#

well actually, a9 would ig

molten oasis
#

if it got one

shadow wind
#

Ghost types get will o wisp, I doubt it'd be ice exclusive

molten oasis
#

so maybe it go on water types too

rustic mountain
molten oasis
#

well yea not in arceus im saying if they translated it to current vgc

rustic mountain
#

and if it was like will o wisp equivalent whose to say who'd get it to where itd be viable or not

molten oasis
#

idk, we'd have to see

rustic mountain
#

we wont tho

shadow wind
#

😔

rustic mountain
#

cuz they wont give it to us

shadow wind
#

Nerf special attackers dog

molten oasis
#

true

rustic mountain
#

imagine incin w/ will o wisp and the frostbite move

shadow wind
#

Sounds like a dream

sounds like incin would be even worse to fight lol

rustic mountain
#

1 of incins best traits if coming on and off the field, the more moves that keep incin on the field make it less effective

molten oasis
#

yea man your other options are psychic and grass knot

rustic mountain
red willow
#

Uhoh stinky

rustic mountain
#

huh

red willow
#

Only 3 options lol

rustic mountain
#

oh

#

u mostly wanna click ur ground moves anyway

red willow
#

Yeah probs

rustic mountain
#

its one of the ways to reel in these strong mons

molten oasis
#

sludge bomb lets you hit flying for neutral and grass for SE, ground poison is solid coverage

red willow
#

It hits fairies for se too right?

rustic mountain

yea

yea

#

Im not above a cheeky ko lol

rustic mountain
#

depends tho like flutter doesnt take se from posion cuz its shared ghost typing which usually resists it

#

ground/fairy type wen

molten oasis
#

i want fire fairy too

red willow
#

We just now got ground poison right? Clodsire?

molten oasis
#

yea

red willow
#

Wait

#

Nidoking was a thing

rustic mountain
#

fire/grass w/ ogerpon hearthflame and scovillian

#

also yea ground posion isnt new

molten oasis
#

right the nidos

#

i forgot about them

rustic mountain
#

ghost/normal w/ hisuan zoroark last gen

#

electric/fighting w/ hands and pawmot this gen

#

fighting/ground w/ great tusk this gen

molten oasis
#

this gen had 2 mons with 2 new type combos and one was dominant the other sucked

rustic mountain
#

pawmot was ok for a few formats

molten oasis
#

yea okay, ig scovillian had a small niche

#

but it never did anything otherwise

rustic mountain
#

nah scovillian sucked

molten oasis
#

yea

rustic mountain
#

but heartflame gave fire/grass redemption

red willow
#

I like that both new electric dragons are meta defining tyrants lmao

rustic mountain
#

yea

#

poor zekrom

molten oasis
#

i like bolt as a mon more but mirai is so broken lol

rustic mountain
#

yea

#

mirai is cool tho

molten oasis
#

another minmaxed paradox in bolt

rustic mountain
#

i chose violet so

red willow
#

Thunderclap do be kind cracked tho

molten oasis
#

i chose the right game for restricted formats

#

and the wrong game for, every other format

rustic mountain
#

so violet?

molten oasis
#

yep

Hey um guys I need help with Pokémon mystery dungeon xd

rustic mountain
#

never played it

molten oasis
#

same

red willow
#

I cant rescue u friend

#

Im sorry

random raft
red willow
#

I dont have the game lol

rustic mountain
#

mystery dungeon is a bit more niche amongst the pokemon community

#

especially for comp players

red willow
#

Ive played the older ones just never got around to the newer installments

rustic mountain
#

gotcha

#

yea i personally havent played any of em

red willow
#

Theyre pretty fun

#

Perish song in those games makes me wanna die tho

rustic mountain
#

they seem interesting

plain drum
#

Mystery Dungeon and Conquest are similar in the respect that a few Pokémon fans enjoy them but likely haven't played the rest of their parent franchise

random raft
#

I feel like this discord server needs to add a Pokémon mystery dungeon chat group thing

plain drum
#

Or knew they existed for that matter

molten oasis
#

idt mysetry dungeon is big enough to entail that

red willow
#

Does mystery dungeon not have its own disco?

random raft
rustic mountain
#

yea i didnt know about mystery dungeon or conquest till i joined this discord server

random raft
molten oasis
#

ig comp chat is really like 6-10 regulars and the occasional guy who needs help

#

Damn it

molten oasis
rustic mountain

#

No comp required (see: me)

rustic mountain
#

presumably some lurkers but yea

molten oasis
#

still shocks me monke's a comp helper

red willow
#

Lol I always be needin help so Im showin up on the steady

molten oasis
#

like he dm'd me about it and now its weird not seeing his username blue

rustic mountain
#

def something to adjust to

molten oasis
#

yea

rustic mountain
#

ill make sure to tell him u hate his guts and think hes undeserving of the role

plain drum
#

LOL

molten oasis
#

bruh lmao

rustic mountain
molten oasis
#

if my mentality wasnt shit i'd ask, but its shit

#

im working on it its getting better, but its still, not good

rustic mountain
#

well as long as ur trying

#

thats all we can really do

molten oasis
#

yea, i hold myself back a lot

#

once the mentality improves a lot i think i'll get better at the game

rustic mountain
#

for sure

molten oasis
#

just takes time

rustic mountain
#

just gta not tie so much into the game itself too

#

bad streaks happen

#

doesnt reflect on u as a person or as a player

#

matters how u respond

#

nd frustration happens, its part of being competitive

molten oasis
#

trying to get better at like, learning over complaining cuz that gets me nowhere

I'd be curious to sit down with the new reg and try some more but I've got other stuff going on

#

Otherwise I'm satisfied with my short record in the last one

#

i think complaining is fine but u gta realize wen to not let it get out of hand or so overbearing u fail to see ur own mistakes

molten oasis

i've really only been complaining when its thing out of my control

Tree wisdom best wisdom

I'm trying to learn about analysis during team preview and during matches at the moment, I've decided I'm going to stop complaining about losses and just start trying to really learn

tree is wise

#

he is the wise mystical tree

rustic mountain
#

not in life unfortunately but in vgc for sure. crits, status conditions w/e theres always something u couldve done or changed in approach to shift the outcome of a match

#

even if its team choice

molten oasis
#

noted

#

thats something to keep in mind, never thought of it that way

rustic mountain
#

u gta look at it overall in games and not just specific turns but replay different scenarios throughout the game and be able to reach a different conclusion/outcome. even if its going back to team preview in what u lead or chose or even didnt choose but mightve needed

#

like oh if i positioned this here t2 then t3 i couldve avoided this or a tera here was safer to cover for this option

molten oasis
#

rustic mountain

its less 2 dragons and more like 1 of the dragons not necessarily netting u enough mileage

molten oasis
#

solid frigate
