Dude, you need to chill, and stay on topic. No one want's you to rant over a small thing i said.
If you would have read my other thread, then yeah, i hyped it. But i also stated clearly that it isn't even out yet, and that the rest of the set could be way better then M2EX.
How can you NOT hype that? 170 HP doing 120 for 3, as a basic. Don't try to kid yourself. You know that's broken.
Yanmega was huge at Nats. Why? Because EVERYONE PLAYED IT.
As to what i was saying as how it wasn't as good as it was hyped up to be, is because it didn't take home Worlds. Sure, it won in Juniors, but who cares about Juniors..?
Yanmega was hyped to win worlds, was it not? But it didn't. And here soon, i have a feeling that Reshiram and Zekrom decks are going to be huge, and Yanmega doesn't do so well against them, at all.
As for what i said about Yanmega, i mean't in a format of HG-EP, not HG-BW.
Also, as another thing i said, for the "Theres other things in the format" or whatever, i mean't, ZPS, ReshiPhlosion, and Donphan.
I've played Yanmega. I know how good it is. I also know how bad it is. I'm also speaking my opinion.
Your free to say that Yanmega is BCIF and everything, but you won't change my mind about it.
I hope i cleared some things up with that as i raged inside my mind.
So please, don't hate. I was just trying to show something to the community that hadn't been posted before afaik of, and put it out there. Did i know if people knew about it or not? No. Did i care? No.
Mewtwo EX isn't as broken or game breaking as the hype is making it, because there isn't any energy acceleration for it. If you could turn it into the psychic "reshiboar" or "ZPS", then it would work REALLY well. Unfortunately, we don't have that, and the only "reliable" engine requires flips.
As for Yanmega not winning worlds, I say this. Again. Yanmega is a bad card that is perfect for this format. Yanmega fits into decks that still have room and would like another attacker without devoting much space to said attacker. THAT'S where Yanmega fits into decks. That's just what it is, idk. It's not supposed to be in every deck(though it can be, I guess), it's just supposed to provide a free, solid back up attack plan. That's really it.
I mean in masters, google played what...Donphan, Blissey, Dragons, Vileplume, Suicune Raikou Legend? That was COMPLETELY outta no where. No one expected that. So Yanmega doesn't fit into there, it's already stuffed with attackers. David on the other hand played a solid Magneboar with supposed heavy Reshiram and RDL, so Yanmega doesn't fit into an already packed list. That's why it didn't win. The two top decks just happened to be other, very established meta decks, not just a consistent attacker/deck+Yanmega, which is what we saw a lot of at Nationals.
Another thing about Worlds. With Nationals, you cant be fancy with your deck. You need to make your deck as consistent as possible. Yanmega and the cards you bring with it(Judge, Copycat) offer consistency(well...not so much Judge, but you get the idea). You need a consistent deck to go through 9 rounds of swiss, and then possibly into TC. That's why we saw so much Yanmega, because it was a consistent secondary attacker. Worlds is another story.
With worlds, you've already reached the top. You can completely fail and still say you played in worlds. With worlds, a lot of pro players bust out the secret decks(see Queendom) or the secret techs, or even just the rogue-y decks(see google's deck), because it is a much more specific meta. You only have to deal with 100-200 people as opposed to like 900 people. And that's why Yanmega didn't see a victory for itself, except in juniors.
