    Discussion Countering Pidgeotto Control

    As an aside: this is mostly true, but Tord's AbilityZard had 18 energy. Blowns is typically at 16, and GreensZard and PikaRom are at 11 typically.

    Standard Beast Stinger (Naganadel GX / Ultra Necrozma / Nihilego)

    I’m not sure that Burst GX counts as taking a prize. Although inaccurate sometimes, PTCGO doesn’t give a point for using it on an L which would indicate that it isn’t taking a prize.

    Lusamine and Delinquent Banned from Expanded!

    Exeggcute doesn't break Ultra Ball, it just make Ultra Ball better. And Lusamine isn't a 1 turn infinite loop, but it is an infinite loop, and in the case of ZoroToad and many Expanded stall decks, the number of turns needed to execute an infinite loop does not matter. In proper game design...

    Lusamine and Delinquent Banned from Expanded!

    What loop does it create? If you are talking about Propagate Exeggcute, It is just an enabler for Zoroark, which would still be broken without Exeggcute. I'm not quite sure how to respond to this... you basically just said that you only care about yourself when you play against something you...

    Lusamine and Delinquent Banned from Expanded!

    Not necessarily. Wailord has survived for 4 years with varying levels of success. Wailord is a fair stall deck that could only do 1 thing: inifinitely loop Lusamine. Let's look at the far more egregious example: Zoroark-GX/Seismitoad-EX. While Wailord is fair by just having a bunch of HP to go...

    Lusamine and Delinquent Banned from Expanded!

    And it still will be. But now, the game can be played instead slowly being shut out, which Lusamine did, or by having no cards T1, which Delinquent did. The game will just be playable in most stages for most decks. As Otaku said, anything can be degenerate. The question is: What is degenerate...

    Help Lightning Round: Expanded Weakness Protection

    Altaria ROS I believe. That might just be for colorless though.

    Discussion Why Banning DCE is stupid-the score settled

    Garchomp C Lv X? That card was able to rule its format. Aside from that, could you make a list of your current grievances against the game? I just want to see and try to respond, either by historical evidence in this game or others.

    Discussion Why Banning DCE is stupid-the score settled

    You continually bring up this argument. But let me ask this: was the Pokemon TCG originally designed well? I would argue definitely not. Powerful Trainers inherently broke the game. Additionally, you seem to constantly forget about a very potent grass type out of base set that abused DCE...

    Discussion Zoroark-Gx or not Zoroark-Gx

    Let's define history. Do you mean in competitive play, or do you mean for casual, general, collector and player? If we mean for the competitive player, I would call it part of the games history. I can not name another card which has had an impact for as long and as wide as DCE. Base Set saw 2ish...

    Discussion Zoroark-Gx or not Zoroark-Gx

    Forgot about that. Maybe don't unban Archeops?

    Discussion Zoroark-Gx or not Zoroark-Gx

    Typically, in other card games, this is true, but in Pokemon, this is typically false. Aggro decks play so few resources that it is possible for control's denial to overcome that power. If you want to see this, just look at AGG's video from today. In it, his Zoroark is put against an aggressive...

    Discussion Is starting 2nd becoming a big problem? Should it be balanced?

    As much as the rule set is broken in standard now, putting a limit on items would break it even more in expanded, where items and item lock are even more powerful.

    Discussion Is starting 2nd becoming a big problem? Should it be balanced?

    Support for the claim? That is bold.
