Has the MD-On Metagame become Stagnant?

[Cena]

lol "useful"

Just play the game, don't worry about how many "useful" decks there are and what others are playing. Do you like your deck? If so, play it, no questions asked. If it plays well, great, if not, tweak until you find something both fun and awesome.

 

[Meaty]

I actually like the new metagame and I think that it's currently a lot more fun and open than last one. There are plenty working decks, you just have to find them and make them work for you, and that I like.

When Lost Link comes out, wow. There's gonna be quite a bit of variation.

Gengar Prime variants.
Mew Prime variants.
Gengar.
LuxChomp.
DialgaChomp.
Sablelock.
Jumpluff.
Eeveelutions, if someone plays it.
Machamp.
Donphan.
Leafeon.
Houndoom.
Scizor Prime.
Magnelock.

I dunno what you're talking about with the lack of deck diversity.

Fixed.

Hahaha, that's great. It's unfortunate though.

Umbreon can cause alot of problems. Moonlight Fang is a great counter to almost any deck except Machamp and Kingdra. And you can abuse SSU with him.

People forget about BlazeRay since it's the black sheep to LuxChomp, but it's fast and consistent and can recovery quickly. SP's will start using more Aaron's.

I agree that right now there are only a few builds, but we still have a long way to go, and decks change every match. People are always finding new techs for weakness, or a simple throw in that's a game changer. Play test against builds you know are staying, such as LuxChomp, With Unown G gone, someone may try GenChamp again, or FlyChamp. Try something new and shake up the meta for a change.

Charizard is not a tier 1 deck.

 

[Serperior]

Charizard is not a Tier-1 deck, and never will be. If best, it's probably a three. It's slower than Donphan and everything else, plus it has a blockable-PokeBody that could render it useless.

And untrue.

At least any pokemon in that deck owns Dialga G if they can bring it up...

Yup, if they have a BTS down they can win and if they don't garchomp and luxray will dominate the charmander and charmeleon's constantly.

And as for the Gengar Prime Lost Zone deck I think that Lock decks and some SP decks will still dominate it. Lock decks because they can both screw up the required setup and cause you to not be able to play your energies in order to use gengar for any worth. Plus all a Luxchomp deck would have to do to get around Gengar's attack is tech in a bannete to discard pokemon from your hand and run 4 aaron's collection. It probably wouldn't screw up too much consistancy and that way you can still get your Pokemon SP when you need them without them getting sent to the lost zone. Also, they could just tech something in that destroy's stadiums because once it is on the bench the Gengar Prime deck would be done with the whole inability to do any damage.

Charizard isn't a tier 1 deck, though I do consider it in the tier 2 or 3 range while still being able to hold it's own depending on the matchups it's playing against.

If Charizard is running a Blaziken FB tech it can just bring Dialga G Lv. X up with Luring Flame from the opponent's bench and KO it on the next turn If needed due to {R} weakness.
