Well you’re probably gonna lose to gardeon regardless of N’s resolve being in the deck or not. ADP is just more consistent without it

It is one-sided ability lock when you build your deck to abuse Hex Maniac. Why would I purposefully run Hex Maniac in a deck that needs to use it's ability to attack or later to operate like Mew3? Which is the problem. Hex Maniac takes pokemon abilities that can't cope with it and shoves them...

I don't get what this line of discussion is supposed to heading towards. Let me elaborate on my thoughts If "might" was a 20% of happening and "almost certainly" was 99% of happening. To me they're functionally the same because neither are 100% guaranteed to happen. So in in the case of...

I'd be about the same amount of excited which is not very. Sometime stuff happens and plans fall through. It wouldn't be until I have the money in hand that'd I'd get excited

Seriously? Those quotes are all arguing against the concept that wally should stay banned because it might be broken in the future. I point i got from you because you said... Do you not see how that statement completely implies "we shouldn't return wally because a card in the future will break...

I don’t get what you mean by this. I’m directly quoting you. I don't know how I'm misrepresenting what you're saying when I'm referring directly to what you're saying. What you think and what you post apparently are two different things I guess

It's really funny to me that you're worried about Wally being used with V-Max pokemon when the reason is got banned was Trevenant which is a one prizer. Like if you go by track record In the entire 3 years that we've had GXs to evolve into Wally it saw almost no competitive play in GX decks...

@Otaku I think the very premise that Wally should stay banned because it could be broken eventually or even definitely will be broken in the future is wrong. Banning cards is inherently a bad thing for games. It removes options and choices for players to explore the game with both in serious...

@Otaku I think the assumption that the new supporter rule makes T1 a 1/2 turn and thus insufficient to T2 lock is wrong. There are plenty of non-supporter ways to set up T1 and not be hamstrung by a T2 Item lock especially since you can set yourself up for success by getting ready for your...

The only ones I could see coming back are Wally and Maxie since they were exclusively banned for first turn locking. All the other supporters and issue beyond just what they could do on the first turn

The deck that won San Diego regionals doesn't even use energy acceleration except for a single teched beast ring

@Yaginku It's clear that you have VERY unrealistic expectation of what the game should look like If you're complaints are "There is a very clear line between what is viable and what isn't" and "it's warping the meta around it" well guess what? That's just how having a meta works. The best decks...

"Cannot play another supporter" applies to Welder as well. Not to mention Welder does have a drawback of being unplayable if you have no fire energy in hand. My point though was that simply saying "Welder is broken because it has no drawback" isn't an actual point. It's not vague at all. A...

Strictly speaking, Hau has no drawbacks either but that doesn't make it broken and in need of banning Welder is undoubtedly one of the best cards in standard right now. But simply being really good doesn't warrant a card being banned. It needs to be so good and overpowered that it is hurting...

Again these are all superficial details. When you look at actual core elements of the games (How energy is attached to specific pokemon instead of being a general resource, combat is 1 way damage between only the active pokemon and not a chosen defense amongst all creatures, no opponent actions...

@Yaginku I find it hard to call PTCG "magic-like" when pretty much the only thing they have in common is they both use mana/energy which is a fairly generic similarity. Turn structures aren't even close considering PTCG is missing half of a MTG turn (namely the post combat main phase) More...

The round may be a single game but you're play multiple rounds for multiple games in the entire tournament. Since TCG tourneys are swiss format you play all the rounds and the best scores movea on to top cut. Its pretty common to have 1st seed have a lose or two in their score as a result. So...

That’s just... card games in general. It’s also why tournaments are a series of games. The randomness of card games averages out and because less of a factor in determining a tournament winner. randomness is also another opportunity to test player skill as player choice can greatly influence...

Florgess alone is 120 so you can't win the game that way since they'll have time to get out more pokemon
