RaiEggs winning its Nationals was one of the biggest flukes in TCG history. It only won because everyone abused Magcargo and Pidgeot to such an extent and noone expected RaiEggs to appear. It did poorly at Worlds, not getting any decent place at all.higumaotoshi said:Magma in 04 and Queendom in 05 beat all the ex decks in the format as well as Raieggs winning nats UNDEFEATED.
Cards before R/S were not "weaklings". It was a completely different metagame back then and it cannot be compared to now. I played pre-Neo and I will admit that the game was ALOT more fun than it is now. Supporters and Ex's have seriously screwed up the game making it more based on luck rather than skill. Did you even play the game pre-R/S? If you did (for a decent period of time) then you wouldn't have made a statement as such.TYranitarFReak said:I, concedingly, have to agree... somewhat because I think ex's are a god send. They give this game a certain edge that was neve seen before: strong cards that were better than the the weakling's of pre Ruby/Saphire. Sure they can be over-powered, but that's why there's the two prize rule!! I hope ex's stay for ever just as long LBS doesn't come back.
