The whole premises of Seismitoad decks are to stall them out by recycling lasers and hammers to whittle your opponent down. Now after using all your resources your stuck doing Quaking Punch with no reliable way of winning after your lock has broken.

>>23548129 Ocg and TCG might as well be the same, our banlist is basically following them from here on out. I'm taking a break from the scene to get more into PTCG again because I'm bored to tears of the same 4-5 decks with very little to no variance between them. At least with pokemon even if people are playing mostly mega fug and toad the decks aren't card for card in the top decks like in yu-gi-oh. Not to mention the price of the current decks in the meat.

Quoted By:
>>23549917 Trump Card was never even the problem considering how the entire point of the deck was always being able to use a single move and the deck revolving around a single move.
The idea was to always be able to use that single move. There weren't even alternate forms of energy like water or anything.
This should give a clear idea of what needs to be changed and what the actual problem is. The problem isn't Hammers, reusable or otherwise. The problem isn't the laser bank Jason couldn't even use in the last game. The problem entirely was clearly Toad's DCE item lock. If you can build everything off of a single move and win using just that, it's kind of easy to see what should be fixed.

>>23550676 What a lovely card. To think the Water weakness is such a debilitating downside. Double Hard charm ain't what it cracked up to be because of how good attackers are, but double Muscle Band hits pretty much every OHKO going apart from, well, Toad. Maybe pair it up with Xerosic support?

Add one Kirlia, as safety in case you either don't find or can't use Rare Candy. Try to get some Trainer's Mail instead of the Trick Coins. Reduce some of the energy so you get around 16 overall. Ultra Ball would benefit you, too.

While in play, this card provides 1 [D] Energy.

Team Aqua's Seviper is pretty neat. Get Malamar on the bench first attacking turn, then use Diffuser with Seviper. Next turn, Venom Tail for 30 and detach an energy. Or do Muk + Secret Base for bonus retreat cost to keep them from retreating. Sharpedo adds consistency.
Really though, this is a neat card in Toad or Vileplume. Confuse them somehow, then keep Quaking Punch so they can't play Switch or Rope. Guaranteed KO on a helpless Pokemon. Anonymous

Theme tournaments are a joke, no one wants to rely that hard on shitty decks and rng.
I get trashcanned in Standard because I've only recently started playing.
Can't even enjoy random Standard because my Theme deck wins inflated my Standard ranking too, it's wonderful.

It's doubly useless because it needs to be active. The initial translation said it worked from the bench, which would make it alright as a tech or for some silly confusion rogue decks. There's no reason to sit on a 90 HP Stage 1 Pokemon with a 3-energy cost attack that only swings for 40 damage. And if you're doing some switch shenanigans with something like Gengar, then Trevenant or Wobbuffet are infinitely better choices to make your active.
What's funny is that it wouldn't even be broken if it worked from the bench.

Just build a rogue deck and you should do well in tournaments. Even if you lose round one, you can trade your tournament chest on the forums for staples. Or just wait until Theme tournaments get rotated in for packs.
Once you have a mildly competent deck, it's hard to lose in tournaments.

Would it be worth selling a FA Shaymin RS to build a MegaLati/Bats deck?

>>23563091 Not even sure if the Lati are good to build a deck around to begin with. Toad and Raichu have no abilities so Latias does nothing to them, and likewise most other attackers are unaffected. Latios' second attack costs too much for 110 so other than 1st turn donk it's not that good, and the mega needs to constantly discard 2 energy and doesn't have much support for that.
