How One Card SAVED The Game 

There is no a single good stage 1 single prize attackers in this meta. We need anti v star cards. Thats what we need

@@Jaared-xu4tx i said stage 1

Weezing just got 2nd at one of the recent regionals

I was. It was the best era ever.

​@@derekjeter3654 long live night march, one of the best and most fun decks in any tcg

Right. It’s just an Anti Meta card, and the fact that people adapted to it so quickly really shows that it wasn’t broken at all.

Totally agree. Gameplay was so fun and interesting!

Thanks so much. I’m glad I could share this side of the cards with you!

Back then this game was very exciting

@@derekjeter3654 I’ve found it to be wonderfully exciting as a relatively new returning player, provided you don’t play anything meta- I’ve ended up building a Charizard evolution deck that slowly builds momentum until a single 1-Prize card can wipe V’s off the map, without being unfair, as it requires a lot of set-up and clever play to get the deck into position. There is nothing more satisfying than bringing down someone spamming overused V’s, VMax’s and VStars, with just a somewhat-strong Charizard you can find in the old deck store and a bit of ingenuity. On top of that, I also found a Blastoise from a few years back in a similar prefabricated deck, that can search the top cards of your deck for basic water energy and attach them to itself or others, as long as you can get a Blastoise safely onto the field, which can be a dangerous gambit- and the original deck only pairs it up with a Golduck, so it’s not that strong. But I found a small, 30-hp Wishwashi card that gains +150hp if it has three or more energy on it, and has an attack that does thirty more damage for each basic water energy, without a cap… So if you can fend off V’s, GX’s and VStars long enough, you can start building a monstrous Wishiwashi snowball with V-level HP and anywhere from 60 to over 400 damage. There are very few things more exciting or satisfying in the game than bringing out a small fish that can nuke almost every card in the game, if you can buy it and it’s turtle support a few turns of set-up If you’re creative and malicious enough, you can still create some absolutely hilarious and surprisingly resilient decks specifically against the stagnant meta… Unless you run into Arceus, Dialga and Palkia. Then you’re just dead, because you can’t outrun power creep forever.

Yeah it was great time. Too bad it didnt stay that way the whole sun and moon block.

No, pokemon search were only ultra ball and level ball nothing compared to now so thats why we had so many variations. Having so many mon search is one of the reason the game becomes so bland

​@@derekjeter3654 we also had nest ball and alolan vulpix. It wasn't like we were starving for pokemon searching.

@@lkmdude8094 I was referring to 2016 format

@@derekjeter3654 ah, okay. I assumed you were talking about the 2016/17 format that this video focuses on.

I agree! The designers created fun and in-depth formats in 2017-2019 and we could always get that again with scarlet and violet. At least I hope so

​@@CeliosNetwork Yeah, I hope the Same

Hell yeah

🔥🔥🔥

Also miss the tcgo big time

It’s actually not. I’ve said Garb A Door for as long as I can remember and I had to break the habit specifically for this video

@@CeliosNetworkhuh, for as long as I’ve played I remember it being pronounced as I said, I’m not trying to be rude, but could I see the proof?

@@CeliosNetwork proof accepted thanks

Not even close. The game was skillful and diverse until Sword & Shield Base set

Sword and shield was just like a smelly fart

So true
