You said it here. Which is what I quoted just now. ======= No, not every deck can do that. NM can't win by deck out, it uses too many resources turn one and two. Neither can vespiquen. Neither can most decks in current format. Current decks that rely on a t1 set up burn too many resources...

You don't know the decks I play, I have refused to play nightmarch or trev. I have won all my points and top eights this season with solid decks that just play pokemon fairly and efficiently. Dark (without maxies gallade), Meinshao (I dare you to find a more skill based deck this season than...

You literally said that the whole magnezone deck folds because of Garbodor. That makes it a pretty bad deck. Make your mind up. As for every deck winning doing only one thing, then you are wrong. There are plenty of decks that have had alternate win conditions. There have been slow play...

Pokepuff is amazing turn 1 if you are going first. There is a good chance that sometimes your opponent will open two pokemon, one being a shaymin or hoopa. So you can drag that down. Other options for it seem fairly limited. I mean how often do you find yourself sitting with basics in hand and...

Ok so if the deck is running regirocks, zygardes and carbinks (aka new fighting archetype.dec) then I have found float stones to be vital. Regirock and an empty zygarde are too bulky to not have floatstones around. I'm considering replacing fighting stadiums with team aquas secret base. This...

I can't help but think you are blaming poor deck building choices on the pokemon companies designs here. And if Garbodor didn't exist then maybe you and others would be complaining there is no way to shut down all these OP pokemon abilities and that abilities are too good and no other strategy...

I think an entei +bursting balloon deck could have potential, depends if they reprint blacksmith in the new set, otherwise entei looses all it's speed. I used a meinshao focus sash recycling deck to win some league challenges this season, it can be done. Good point about Mew, I think I was...

Yeah I'm with spoonlarry on this one, Zoroark is ok, but too easy to play around by any good player. And pokepuff doesn't go far enough. Raichu is a pretty tried and tested counter, and is good against things other than Mega Ray, a Raichu/Garb deck could be very solid if the right list came...

Memories of Dawn Mew is a perfect counter for garb, only need to do an attack that does 50 to OHKO. If garb gets big I can see him becoming a 1 of in a lot of decks. Useful against garb, just ultraball fodder against other decks...

You know what I completely agree. 100%. However I don't think Garb is a dominating strategy, and therefore doesn't need a hard counter. NM needed one, we got GPF and Vileplume, wasn't good enough, they printed trev. Looks like Trev still isn't good enough judging by US nats. They print Karren...

Problem with hard countering garb is it would just be unplayable again. Take karren, even without rotation being a thing karren would have wiped NM and Vespi off the face of the earth, a hard counter for garbodor would just leave it back in the binder where it is now. If they want it in the...

Yeah man, Rainbow Road is a legit threat to this deck, and hammers alone won't be enough. But there will be techs to get around it and control decks are more than just energy denial, loosing headringer means you can't just rely on energy disruption any more. Parallel city and chaos wheel can...

Two tattoo designs for my Fiancée to choose from. She has wanted a pikachu tattoo for years and it's time to get it.

Ok, so Donphan, Landobats, Lucario + Hammers, Mienshao, Maxies Garchomp & Groudon have all been famous and successful decks at one point or another since XY base. If you watched the last world championships you would have seen how almost all the junior and senior quarter, semi and finals were...

Don't think of what Garbodor does by himself, you won't find Garbodor decks. You will find control decks that run Garbodor as an option. Something like Giritina (there are likely gonna be a lot of megas around soon), Carbink, hammers & garbodor. Maybe with Team Aqua's base and parallel city...

It's no where near as bad as other cards in format (trev) when it comes to locks. And Pokemon don't really ban cards unless they really break the format. If it's just unfun or OP Pokemon designers just leave it and shrug (nightmarch). Overall Garbotoxin is ok, it might be pretty strong...

<3 you otaku. But this should be your signature XD

Download the online game, go through the tutorials, learn how the game works, read some articles and watch a ton of youtube videos of other people playing strong decks online (yellowswellow is a great youtuber who is good at explaining his decision making and why he builds his decks how he does)...

Find room for a xerosic. If the garbo/tina/darkrai deck is popular at worlds that could win you games alone. Also can mildly annoy a lot of DCE reliant decks. Make them dig for another one when they would prefer to be doing something else with their turn. Also if you plan on using Flareon at all...
