Discussion Reserved Ticket VS Acro Bike

[PlinfaTheBest]

I'm building a Maxie's deck at the moment and I can't decide if I should play Reserved Ticket or Acro Bike as a four-of. Both can be played at any time if you aren't item-locked and have their own strenghts and weaknesses: Reserved Ticket can get you any card which is very strong in combination with Unown or Trainer's Mail while Acro Bike doesn't require a flip and can get you cards in the discard. On the other hand, you get a card back which could be annoying if you try to get Maxie's, and sometimes you have to discard a valuable resource because you have the cards are the same etc.
What do you think about this question? Which of these should be played in Maxie's/Archie's?

I play both tbh. If you have to choose one, my choice is Reserved Ticket because no matter what, you're getting a card out of your hand. With Acro Bike, if you draw into tow cards you can't play, for instance an energy and a stadium if you already played an energy and a stadium this turn. Also, though Acro Bike can help you discard Maxies and Maxies targets, I usually find myself choosing between two vital cards. But, if you can, try to fit in at least a few of both.

Uhmm...I sort talked about this in another thread. Reserved Ticket is what I use and it works for me. Though many swear by the acro bike. I think it is just preference. You want to play unown/reserved/shaymin/Trainers Mail. Usually your looking for an Ultraball, VS seeker, Battle compressor, or maxies.

Keep one maxies in the deck discard out 2 Gallade and a maxies. Reserved ticket can pull up one of the U V B options and you can peel the card off with the other stuff I just mentioned.

I think reserved ticket is too unpredictable. I like knowing that I am getting one of the two cards off my acro bike, and odds are that one of those cards I can get back (supporters/energy/pokemon). Flip cards to be played IMO need an awesome effect, such as sleep on Hypnotoxic laser or discarding an energy off Crushing Hammer. Putting a card on top of your deck isn't really that big of a deal. If you have 4 spots in your deck, outside of acro bike, you might want to increase counts of those other cards you would be looking for with the ticket so you'd draw into them off the Maxies/Acro/Trainer's Mail/Unown/etc.

Would it be worth playing both? If you get heads on reserved ticket and play acro bike you can get the card you searched for. What Maxie / Archie deck are you playing with right now because that could also make a difference. Let's say it is Gallade. You would want to go with Acro bike to get a card and put a card you don't need on the top / 2nd to top and have that be the discard.
