Future meta edition
Tournaments are available on the PTCGO! Two tournaments are available 24/7 and weekends add two more tournaments to the pool (with formats changing every weekend for the weekend tournaments). You can find the prize structure in the TCGO client when they're available.
Double Crisis has been released! Are you picking up any blisters? Only available online via codes. Can't be purchased with coins.
Daily quests added to PTCGO!
The in-client store's products consists of theme decks (LTR-on), 5-card packs (NXD-on), and a 1-pack blister mimicking those found in the checklanes of big box stores like Target. Every now and then, other products like 3-pack blisters and products mimicking IRL value products like boxes are available for a short time.
The best decks for beginners and theme deck tournaments are still as follows (But not in terms of consistency)...
>Yveltal/Xerneas Battle Pack >Red Genesect Collection (not available in the TCGO) >Resilient Life >Psy Crusher >Destruction Rush >Dark Hammer >Ocean's Core >DragonSpeed Any starter deck released before LTR cannot be found on the in-client shop and must be redeemed from a code card.

>>23233677 EX are just cards. They're not special. People need to get over this 'EX cards are too overpowered" thing.
Anonymous
>>23233677 I agree. The game has a lot to do with EX but that isn't a bad thing. You are giving up 2 rewards for a bigger basic pokemon so your opponent needs to only kill 3 pokemon. I like them and the way they are designed you get more from them if you mix them with none EX because they take 1 then 2 then 2 and then they need to kill 4 pokemon instead of their 3.
Anonymous
>>23233754 >They're not special That's what I don't agree with. Double a regular mon's HP, basic, and need to be kept in check by abilities and moves, or else they'd run rampant.
At this rate, I'd rather have PCL remove evolutions if they're going to continue this trend, instead of trying to make evolutions fit.
>>23233765 The issue is that the whole game revolves around that, instead of it being just one possible option.
Anonymous
>>23233677 I'm in the same boat as you and agree with most of your points
However it also pains me to say that this, but this format is one of the most rapidly changing and diverse we've had. I believe this to be because of big basics and the agility to mix them so easily because they do not need in between cards that literally only exist to get you to that stage 2. Even the dreaded Seismitoad has many different ways to play.
It is a bummer that if you want to play evolutions you're pretty much locked into Flareon if you want to be making top cut. Sadly I have no idea how the developers of the game can make evolution work to be balanced alongside basics aside from dropping the evolution mechanic entirely or making every pokemon like the crobat line with a added benefit to evolving up normally.
As for the guy you were arguing with, EX is most definitely a mechanic where certain cards specify the Pokemon type out right (Hawlucha, Dialga EX, safeguarders etc.) the primes never had such distinction. I can't comment on whether you are an oldfag or not, as my answer would likely be hypocritical.

>>23233788 The problem is people would prefer a deck full of ex and only having 3 pokemon than mixing them and having 4-6. Their are other decks that preform just as well as decks full of exs like Night March and Flareon, and Leafeon.

>>23233793 >because they do not need in between cards that literally only exist to get you to that stage 2 Yes, you worded it way better than I'd have. Stage 2 cards need completely useless cards that are for the most part deadweight in your deck to get to that Stage 2, and you need extra cards if you want to pull it on T2, whereas an EX is ready to be used at T1.
>I have no idea how the developers of the game can make evolution work to be balanced alongside basics aside from dropping the evolution mechanic entirely or making every pokemon like the crobat line with a added benefit to evolving up normally. This is why I believe they should either stop the whole EX thing or just kill all evo lines and make a game about strong basics. Strong basics aren't my issue, but when the whole meta revolves around them then there's clearly a problem.
>>23233808 How many of those non-EX decks, besides Flareon, don't revolve around EX being there? Pyroar is an example of a deck that revolves around EX cards (it's not even a tier 1 deck but it was/is successful because it can stop EX mons and nothing else).

>>23233857 Leafeon and Night march also don't require them to use Exs.
Anonymous
>>23233867 >don't require them to use Exs I talk about decks that exist because of EXs, such as pyroar. They don't neccesarely need EXs to work. And most if not all decks need a tech to stop EX mons.
Leafeon though could survive if EXs stopped existing. Could Night March do that, given that (afaik) Mew EX is a must?
Anonymous
>>23233900 Mew ex isn't a must, he just makes it that much better. All of those decks would be in this format with or without Ex's unlike Pyroar.
Anonymous
>>23233912 Alright, I'll concede, three decks. And that's about it. Doesn't stop EXs from having that issue and making (almost) the whole meta revolve around them.
As I said my issue isn't directly with EXs, but how all the meta is about them, and how it makes me think they'd rather have a game with no evolution mechanics (note how none of the listed decks use stage 2 cards).

>>23233935 It's a problem with players that a company has to follow. In YGO when they created XYZ it didn't make syncros worthless but people choose to use those more than the other. I feel like this is that situation where they presented players an option and everyone just chooses that option.
Anonymous
>>23233935 If you imagine a game without the EX, there would be plenty of decks. You'd see donphans, you'd see lots of fighting with Machamp. You'd see big basics. You'd see fairy toolbox, you'd see shit like victreebel, shiftry, bats of all kinds, ect.
Anonymous
>>23233945 In this case, EXs do make stage 2 obsolete because of a number of reasons. They're at least as powerful and even way more than that, take less space in decks (in turn making them easy to incorporate in any deck), take less time and juggling around your deck to put in play, and even endure more. They're better than stage 2s in every possible way.
>>23233958 Which would be a healthy meta imo. Big basics alongside evo decks, and no overcentralization.

>>23233965 The meta is already fine with the exception of toad having DCE attack and not W-C attack. There is a pretty great variety of playable decks right now. Seriously, it's great.

>>23233857 >>23233900 I'm not sure you'll ever really get the answer you are looking for. EX are here to stay as they have the most energy efficient attacks and are also the most consistent cards to play. I believe Night March requires Mew-EX to be consistent enough to face other decks that play heavy EX lines. If it weren't for opponent's high HP night march could function well without it, but the prize trade would be killer.
I had a hard time with this as well and nearly quit the TCG again until the EX had rotated out. because I didn't like the idea of stage 2's being basics like the late dppt era. As I stated before, until I took a step back to see how diverse the meta has been this year, I had also thought the game was saturated with "unfair" Pokemon EX. It is hard to argue a meta with this much diversity is bad for the game in my opinion. While most decks in the meta contain EX there are like what, 8 different viable decks right now that have taken first at different states?
If you can't deal with the EX Pokemon try finding a group of like minded people and play with additional rules(No EX, etc) or older formats. There are many people that dislike the EX craze as much as you. Aside from that you'll just have to sit the standard format out for another few years.

>>23234030 Have you thought about maybe just using some exs? I just started playing again from at least 2 years ago when mother gengar is legal which had stage 2s up the ass and 4 rare candys where required. I love exs and I think the meta is a lot bigger than it was when I was playing. I can basically grab any Ex and make a pretty decent deck around it.

>>23234077 I got that but I mean, just play with it and you don't need counter them if you just play it. I don't run any of their counters but I do run their speed hitters like Mewtwo ex and Yveltal EX. Why not just play with them and use them?
Anonymous
>>23234091 Because it's not fun. It's not fun how speed hitters are the whole of the game due to how efficient they are, instead of making more options viable.
Anonymous
>>23234091 It's as this anon says. You don't necessarily need to run a straight counter to the mechanic.You can create workable decks that may not be tier 1 but can keep up if you embrace the EX pokemon for support early game while you set up your evolved pokemon. While I have access to most the meta stuff he deck I play online most often is a really crappy Mega Manectric-EX and Yanmega PHF deck because Yanmega is one of my favorite Pokemon. To be honest Manectric is just there as energy acceleration and to offer free retreat to score dank knock outs on grass weak pokemon with surprise strike. Together the two pull about just as much weight as each other.
Anonymous
>>23234123 It isn't just about speed hitters, there are some tanky decks like Donphan/walls or even no energy snorlax/waillord. People just like to hit fast and hard and think winning is fun so yes, they will use speedy hard hitters like people playing wow will play rouges and decks like Donphan counters them.
Anonymous
>>23234143 >if you embrace the EX pokemon for support early game while you set up your evolved pokemon Well that's an interesting way to view it, I'll agree. Instead of making an EX the main 'mon, make the stage 2 the main one.
My only issue is that almost all stage 2s are REALLY bad. Pic related is a decent stage 2, and an EX mon will be much better than this.
>>23234150 This I agree with, some decks are (kinda) slow hitters.

>>23234196 Actually now that I think about it I would really like it if they started giving resistance to all non-EX Pokemon. If I recall there aren't any grass Pokemon that have resistance to water since within the XY block which is a shame when trying to make a easy to use answer to toad.
Anonymous
>>23234196 These two stage two pokemen are actually decent stage two pokemon when you use them with other cards. Don't compare them to exs by themselves. Like, that Blaziken can attack first turn you use him with zero energy just because Blacksmith exists.

Quoted By:
>>23234223 >>23234226 >when you use them with other cards That's the issue, most EXs don't need other cards while these are inefficient. I mean, you need the useless Machop/Machoke/Torchic/Combusken cards while your opponent is already hitting hard with an EX mon. You need those cards in your deck, which can easily make around 9 cards only for the Pokemon plus the cards to accelerate the evolution, totalling 12 to 15 cards for only ONE pokemon. An EX mon can do the same or even better with less cards in the deck and far more consistency, and most of the time they're easier to bring up.
I'm not saying Blaziken and Machamp are bad, I'm saying EXs are better, one of the points being how many cards they need in order to work, which kills consistency.

>>23233989 >>23234066 6 years is enough time for a lasting game to change. But we have good decks with or without Exs
- night march
- miltank/greninja (underrated)
- eggs
- tool drop
- etc
Are Exs a mistake? Maybe
Is toad a mistake? Most say so but
realize maintaning a power creep is a lucrative way where you keep getting fun paying for one card or so to your deck in each collection. While it may not be fun to you it is being to each person that subscribed competitive streams, and they may also get bored of the game in the future.

>>23238237 > Buddyfight tried making better theme decks, then quickly dropped it once they realized people were buying a small smattering of cards to lightly fluff the starters. Buddyfight actually has a really good model for that though and still does it. Like in the beginning it was Dragon/Danger/Ninja worlds with the trial decks (dragon had 2 goddamn it), and in the packs were the only ways you could get things like Magic World cards and stuff. So if you wanted to build Magic World, you needed packs. Then you'd get the fluff for the other worlds, or there'd be different subclans of the same decks so you're introduced to the playstyle via the trial deck and you can play basically an entirely different deck from the same clan with what you get from boosters. So you play Armorknights from danger world who are all aggro and then you find all these Duel Dragons from danger world who are all aggro in such a different way.
Like even now we only just got a Magic World deck and it was all Asmodai stuff while the rest of the magic world stuff is almost nothing like it. There's a market for everyone, and then standard power creep applies, but then legacy support happens so it's something almost like a balanced game.
That's half the reason I'm still into the game.

>>23242912 Someone with a brain. Meloetta's Round is only 20 damage less per instance, but it's a basic, so you run 4x and use Exploud as your attacker, and hit for 50x 4 with only one Rare Candy. There arent any other basics with the round attack, and that makes Meloetta better than every other round user because the whole premise is getting Round users INTO PLAY.

Use baby Lando (x2) the same way as baby Yveltal, run 4-4 Medicham, 2-3 Shining Spirit Hawlucha, 4 Korrina, 3-3 Muscleband/Silver bangle, 4x strong energy and fighting stadium, and a PCL Solrock for easy Strong Energy in the hand. A casual focus sash is very nice, Celebi-ex lets you use medicham's 20 base damage attack for F and it hits for SE damage, and actually Life Dew is useful here since prize trade is the name of the game and you run no EX.
I would say ignore machamp completely since Medicham can kill everything that isnt Mega in one turn without it
((30 base + 20 Muscle Band + 20 Strong energy + 20 Fighting Stadium) x 2) = 180
This deck is super consistent and fast.

The Zapdos looks good though. It'll come with Electrode that can semi-consistently do 70 damage. No clue what Grass Pokemon it could actually come with though, there are a lot this set.
I'm really hoping Articuno comes with the Talonflame so we can get that [C]Triple Draw+Switch. Even if not, regular Articuno deck thins like crazy by adding 3 of those infinite [W] Energies from your deck to your hand every turn
Seems like Articuno deck would run better on speculation alone while Zapdos does more consistent damage. Zapdos Thunder Fall, placing the damage onto your Voltorb on the bench, then Explode for 2 energy sounds solid at least.

All you do is increase retreat costs, yet you're not eve running Startling megaphone for float stone removal.
You need at least 3x of crushing hammer and Enhanced Hammer, 2-3x Megaphone, and 1-2 Xerosic (also nice for removing Head ringers).
You also 100% need at least one float stone or a few switches for your Seismitoad which will basically be unretreatable under Muk and Aqua Stadium, and whats the point of making it so your opponent can't retreat if you cant either?

>>23250177 I can't remember exactly at which point I made that deck, but there was no VS Seeker back then in the format IIRC. After that I quit the game for a while, came back recently, and haven't modified it other than removing two First Tickets I had for the Teammates and... I forget what was the other card.
Might as well start upgrading it since Empoleon will probably go out after rotation.
