I've stopped playing Ranked months ago because I was bored of always getting the same decks over and pver. Now I'm just chilling in Casual playing what I want against really weird deck and I really enjoy that better. Continue doing what you do, thanks for the content!!
I play snorlax stall and after I lock them down and they have no cards left in their deck I play ionos to make then suffer for as long as possible or until they just surrender 😂
Day 66! Live has absolutely devolved into Charizard madness, I really hate how little diversity there is. At Orlando, Charizard was 22% of the meta, more than double Chien-Pao in second place at 10%. It truly is getting ridiculous
I loved this deck when I first saw it a couple of months back, and I tried playing it postrotation with proxies while testing with friends, and BROTHER it took a downgrade. So it's understandable, kind of sad too tho. Thank you for trying to make it work and putting so much effort in that.
I was really liking iron hands at the beginning of this set but I regret playing it so much at the beginning since now I get destroyed whenever I feel like playing anything looser and creative because of my rank
it's funny how I played through Tearlament format in Master duel, but I've already stopped playing PTCGL from when i started last year and one of the contributing factors beyond the game and it's bugs itself was the realization the decks i didn't like including Charizard are likely going to be good for the rest of the entire year at least so i best get use to getting kicked by a giant lizard with crystals on it if i wanted to stay. iron hands turbo didn't help since my favorite decks where one prizers that had to wait games out.
The hyper optimization is ridiculous. I had to give in and start running Espathra for Zard, and now I'm seeing so many Zard players run Arcanine ex, I assume for the Espathra matchup. I also have Farigiraf ex in my deck for the Chien-Pao ex matchup, and now all the Chien-Pao's I see are rubbing Canceling Cologne. It's crazy!
The shuffler for client is just weird at times. I love a good hit run deck, I’ll still give this a go. It’s also unfortunate that not only Zard won EUIC, but it was done by Tord 🤣. Honestly though, I have had a TON of success with your Tinkaton deck, and with Scovillain as well.
Just play the fun decks on the casual latter. With ranked just being whoever plays the most gets the highest instead of an actual elo mmr type system you'll probably run into a very similar level of playing on casual
Mate…I have been using your idea of the Mimikyu/Cramorant deck you posted a couple of months ago…I added prime catcher and few bits…I beat Charizard most times…It’s the Devo/Crisis combo and Bravery Charms on the Mimis that does it…Awesome deck and far more interesting than the Charizard boredom on the ladder….
I only played Charizard to make it to Arceus league. I needed the credits and gems. Now that I'm here, it's Gyarados ex time. I needed one more and now the deck is complete. That damage is insane! 360 right off the bat just for damage counters being on the Pokemon? Yes please
This is a deck with the exact same concept, except it plays Lumineon as well as Bombirdier with a Baxcalibur engine. Lumineon's ability allows for easy setup, and Erika's Invitation allows for easy KOs on basics. I've had a lot more consistency with this deck: Pokémon: 6 1 Baxcalibur PAF 130 1 Baxcalibur PAL 210 4 Lumineon V CRZ-GG 39 2 Frigibax PAL 57 PH 3 Bombirdier ex PAR 156 3 Mimikyu PAL 97 Trainer: 25 2 Irida ASR 186 2 Irida CRZ-GG 63 4 Nest Ball SVI 255 2 Rare Candy SVI 256 1 Boss's Orders LOR-TG 24 1 Boss's Orders PAL 265 1 Boss's Orders PR-SW 251 2 Beach Court SVI 167 PH 1 Arven PAF 235 1 Arven SVI 249 1 Erika's Invitation MEW 203 1 Erika's Invitation MEW 196 1 Lady LOR 193 1 Lady HIF 155 2 Switch MEW 206 2 Choice Belt PAL 176 PH 2 Pal Pad SVI 182 1 Maximum Belt TEF 154 1 Eri TEF 210 2 Grabber MEW 162 PH 2 Canceling Cologne ASR 136 PH 1 Beach Court SVI 167 2 Super Rod PAL 276 1 Iono PAL 269 1 Iono PAF 237 Energy: 3 1 Basic {W} Energy CRE 231 1 Basic {W} Energy CRZ 154 6 Basic {W} Energy SVE 3 PH Total Cards: 60
You should try making a video on this magnezone ex control deck that got 3rd place in a 130+ tourney online Its different and interesting to play but its a whole new way to play magnezone and would love to see what makes it tick.
I do wish the drop off between top tier and rogue tier decks wasn’t quite as wide. Pokémon would still have their chase cards and their bdifs and all that even after making the rogue/meme tier stuff 20% better.
When you play mimikyu it's always good to play at least one bravery charm, especially when you play arven. Then you can't be koed by charmeleon and cramorant. Just a little tip for next time.
When you lose you win.. AKA you learn from losing.. You learn what not to do..( not to play, include in the deck. ) Practice make not perfect..but makes you better that what you're doing.. Perfection doesn't exist Perspective is everything. Ok enough metaphors..
I understand you! I only play decks like all Regis,Maushold, Camerupt, the three Unova monkeys etc. Even if you play good, winning against Char decks is difficult :( Greatjob anyways!
I play casual a lot more too because I just got tired of playing against charizard and future hands. Playing casual gives you a lot more types of decks. I played against a blastoise/pidgeot ex/palkia V deck recently, for example.
hey men i love watching your videos, i rather if you can make a deck of flying pokemon. like ho-oh i know (i know that you love this pokemon), united wings pokemon, squawkabilly and pidgeot. =D how can you make that works?
The crazy part is it will be years until Charisse’s rotates. Forcing them to come out with even more broken cards to not to counter it but to be just as good as it. This next year of sets will be just them trying to make something that will be a better alternative to Zard. Gonna be interesting cards and broken cards coming soon.
I feel like its a bit silly to play these decks in ranked in the first place. Cuz lets be honest most of your decks are made for fun most of the time which there's no problem with casual decks or enjoying the game more casually but keep in mind there's a reason why a lot of these cards aren't seeing play at the top level events. And when your going into rank matches I am not saying its a perfect 1 to 1 to a regional or anything but people are obviously going to play the top tier stuff like Zard or lost box and what not cuz they're most likely play testing for irl that and not to mention your in the highest rank possible in the game atm of course there going to be more serious like you sorta gotta expect that. I feel like going forward you should be more honest that these decks aren't really competitive viable and make it more clear and maybe if your going to try these maybe try it in either casual or a better idea to make it more fun to watch why not get a friend or a group of people to do a spin wheel of random ex's and v's nobody is playing and if you land on it you have to build a deck based around that card. that would help with your issue of i wanna play with people who aren't just baby players but still wanna play against rogue/meme decks cuz you all would be playing at the same level if you did it like that and there's nothing really like that for pokemon atm with your amazing editing i think you could do a series like that and make it work really well!
Ever heard of the Chilean of Street fighter V who won a major tournament using by far the worst character in the game. Or aMSa the only yoshi player in the top 100 of smash melee who through effort and dedication won the most staked tournament of all Melee. The moment a deck that is not Zard gets on top of them, that deck will be remember and known as the King slayer and it will be even funnier if its just a fun deck
I play snorlax stall and after I lock them down and they have no cards left in their deck I play ionos to make then suffer for as long as possible or until they just surrender 😂
The consistency of zard is ridiculous. Always have candies, always have zards, always have pidgeot On top of that. You play any deck 8/10 games are zard You build a grass deck and you play 2/10 zard decks The matchmaking is fucked as well. Nothing you can do about that either brother. I love a rogue deck though so I feel ya pain!
That's just how the deck is built. There is no magical shuffler conspiracy that makes Zard work like that, its built into his card text. His ability to ramp himself energy straight from the deck and the fact that he has his own comeback mechanic that makes it so that he's never playing from behind. You just load the deck with consistency boosting options to hit candies and Charizard takes care of the rest. Also grass is dogshit against Charizard, and its entirely because Grass itself is horrendous right now. Not even counting the fact that Charizard is STILL a Fire deck, so even if Grass were good you'd still die to Zard decks because it can easily tech to kill any Grass deck lmfao. Not that it would even really need too, Burning Darkness will annihilate most Grass pokemon with zero effort as is.
Actually only the non meta decks are enjoyable to watch, I don't even watch tournament, they are boring as heck, people just wanted to win so badly, hence all the meta decks even in casual matches...
Love your channel! Your energy and, well, “ADD-ness” lol it’s awesome. BUT I will say, I’d really really enjoy if you’d go to casual like you say because it’s getting a bit “oh he’s going against (input Zard, C pow, Hands and Tusk mill) again.. 🫤. It’s refreshing to watch you face a mixed bag to be honest. Just my opinion brother. Either way, keep being you man! 💯👌🏻
I love watching the non meta deck videos, quite enjoyable
Yer same
Indeed, god bless us with Miraidon EX
I've stopped playing Ranked months ago because I was bored of always getting the same decks over and pver. Now I'm just chilling in Casual playing what I want against really weird deck and I really enjoy that better. Continue doing what you do, thanks for the content!!
Its funny cause whenever I go into casual I still get matched with charizard 😂
I play snorlax stall and after I lock them down and they have no cards left in their deck I play ionos to make then suffer for as long as possible or until they just surrender 😂
Day 66! Live has absolutely devolved into Charizard madness, I really hate how little diversity there is. At Orlando, Charizard was 22% of the meta, more than double Chien-Pao in second place at 10%. It truly is getting ridiculous
Only 22%? Be thankful, Yugioh is in s format where the top deck is near 80%.
Remember when Lugia was like 100% of the meta?!?
There is hope on the horizon with sinastcha and ghouldengo
It's all snake eyes@@johnwoodard7963
Play meowscarada dunsparce
I loved this deck when I first saw it a couple of months back, and I tried playing it postrotation with proxies while testing with friends, and BROTHER it took a downgrade. So it's understandable, kind of sad too tho.
Thank you for trying to make it work and putting so much effort in that.
13:30 You could have Taken a Knock Out on the Charmander by using the other Xatu to the Mimikyu, but you ended the Turn...
THATS WHAT I THOUGHT!!!!!!. another miss play but thats why we watch him
I was really liking iron hands at the beginning of this set but I regret playing it so much at the beginning since now I get destroyed whenever I feel like playing anything looser and creative because of my rank

I just try to have a vulpix in my water decks at this point, cause its so much of a trump card to zard decks especially if you catch there arcanines
anyone who plays non meta decks are the winners in my eyes. surer I dont speak for myself but we here for it
Same here!
I don't know about you, but a turn 2 radiant greninja in lost box is pretty fun and makes me feel like a winner.
@@snekksuperior when the stars align they align. I’m not speaking for lost box players so much might I add 👍🏽
The shuffler for client is just weird at times. I love a good hit run deck, I’ll still give this a go. It’s also unfortunate that not only Zard won EUIC, but it was done by Tord 🤣. Honestly though, I have had a TON of success with your Tinkaton deck, and with Scovillain as well.
You defo becoming my favourite ptcg RUclips to watch. Keep bringing them entertaining decks!
Just play the fun decks on the casual latter. With ranked just being whoever plays the most gets the highest instead of an actual elo mmr type system you'll probably run into a very similar level of playing on casual
Love this channel. This is how I find ideas for my jumpstart cube
14:8 tactical misplay for the win!

This is a deck with the exact same concept, except it plays Lumineon as well as Bombirdier with a Baxcalibur engine. Lumineon's ability allows for easy setup, and Erika's Invitation allows for easy KOs on basics. I've had a lot more consistency with this deck:

I get meta chasing for climbing. But climbing becomes sooooooo staleeeeeee after facing the 7th Zard deck in a row.
You should try making a video on this magnezone ex control deck that got 3rd place in a 130+ tourney online
Its different and interesting to play but its a whole new way to play magnezone and would love to see what makes it tick.
I do wish the drop off between top tier and rogue tier decks wasn’t quite as wide. Pokémon would still have their chase cards and their bdifs and all that even after making the rogue/meme tier stuff 20% better.
I like the idea of Meowscarada Ex and the new Gengar Ex I feel like it has good synergy
@ForTheWinTCG - how would a Banette and Mismagius deck go???
When you play mimikyu it's always good to play at least one bravery charm, especially when you play arven. Then you can't be koed by charmeleon and cramorant. Just a little tip for next time.
When you lose you win..
AKA you learn from losing..
You learn what not to do..( not to play, include in the deck. )
Practice make not perfect..but makes you better that what you're doing..
Perfection doesn't exist
Perspective is everything.
Ok enough metaphors..
Based on the intro... were not so different, you and I. Creativity is fun. Full send optimization is math.
You can try playing in casual games first to fight mixture of decks then play like the last couple of matches for the vid in ranked 😗
0:08 i think ptcgl just hates rogue decks and gives you impossibly bad luck to stop you playing them
Bro have u played armourrouge that got top 16
I understand you! I only play decks like all Regis,Maushold, Camerupt, the three Unova monkeys etc. Even if you play good, winning against Char decks is difficult :(
Greatjob anyways!
I play casual a lot more too because I just got tired of playing against charizard and future hands. Playing casual gives you a lot more types of decks. I played against a blastoise/pidgeot ex/palkia V deck recently, for example.
It’s like watching myself play
I was going to recommend playing in casual, the mix of decks will be better, and theres still plenty of ppl playing meta still in casual too sadly
YOU COULD’VE ATTACKED GHOLDENGO WITH PIDGEOT 24:45
Why not play decks that counter zard or play casel
hey men i love watching your videos, i rather if you can make a deck of flying pokemon. like ho-oh i know (i know that you love this pokemon), united wings pokemon, squawkabilly and pidgeot. =D how can you make that works?
I am playing Tricky's Feraligatr and it farms zard so hard.
Yeah dude we won't be mad at you for playing casual. I played against the most whacky decks on there, even when I lose it's fun lol
The crazy part is it will be years until Charisse’s rotates. Forcing them to come out with even more broken cards to not to counter it but to be just as good as it. This next year of sets will be just them trying to make something that will be a better alternative to Zard. Gonna be interesting cards and broken cards coming soon.

Assemble
I play snorlax stall and after I lock them down and they have no cards left in their deck I play ionos to make then suffer for as long as possible or until they just surrender 😂
the opening of the video just shows that the format we are in is just awful and boring
The consistency of zard is ridiculous.
Always have candies, always have zards, always have pidgeot
On top of that. You play any deck 8/10 games are zard
You build a grass deck and you play 2/10 zard decks

Not that it would even really need too, Burning Darkness will annihilate most Grass pokemon with zero effort as is.
5 days late on this comment but maybe do the 3 battles and include 1 of them as competitive to show how it compares to decks not in casual.
I really enjoy your content but you really should just create another account that is in a lower tier to get better content.
Actually only the non meta decks are enjoyable to watch, I don't even watch tournament, they are boring as heck, people just wanted to win so badly, hence all the meta decks even in casual matches...
Switchs
FOUR whole minutes of yapping
Love your channel! Your energy and, well, “ADD-ness” lol it’s awesome. BUT I will say, I’d really really enjoy if you’d go to casual like you say because it’s getting a bit “oh he’s going against (input Zard, C pow, Hands and Tusk mill) again.. 🫤.
