too much celebrating about this dark plate thing.
still beats everything except that 1 specific dark deck and even then thats iffy because deoxys A rolls 135 and has re-roll unless a dark deck happens to be running a 1mp shitter like metagross.
meanwhile dark is on even par with literally everything.
so the meta of the game is still: There is one completely broken deck that beats everything, and one deck that counters it for a 50-50 shot at winning if you go first, and the deck that counters it isnt good against other decks.
this is not "balance". balance would be nerfing the deoxys deck so its at least somewhat beatable by other decks... not just releasing one specific way to beat it that still kind of sucks when up against other 2500 decks. i don't understand why they can't just balance their fucking game like every other developer on earth. yes deoxys deck should be good but it shouldnt be so amazingly good that it is a guranteed win on every other deck besides dark. i mean the fact that during the DRAGON CUP the best teams were all deoxys didn't even shake up the developer to at least slightly nerf it is ridiculous.
and don't give me that bs about "BUT THIS IS HOW THEY MAKE MONEY". the pokemon tcg also has power creep but isn't insanely retarded enough to do something that completely ruins their game just to get people to buy the cards in the short term
