ElSocias wins the game! Opponent has surrendered
[Ojama]: gg
[ElSocias]: weird
[ElSocias]: gg
[ElSocias]: just one more question
[Ojama]: yep
[ElSocias]: does black fang appear on the menu?
[ElSocias]: or just dark flame?
[Ojama]: yeah, aslo black fang
[ElSocias]: ahh, and why do u say u can't use it?
[Ojama]: but i couldnt use that cuz i dont have the dark energy
[Ojama]: cuz it requires one dark, i ve a water instead
[ElSocias]: yeah, but it doesn't matter with metronome
[ElSocias]: you flip a coin for each dark energy
[Ojama]: i think yes instead
[Ojama]: this s not a ditto where every energy is a rainbow one
[ElSocias]: mhm
[Ojama]: i can flip for each dark on me but i would flip for 0 times
[ElSocias]: yeah, but the damage remain on 30
[ElSocias]: 30 + 0
[ElSocias]: still weird that tu didn't attack with dark flame
[Ojama]: yeah sure but this not explain why i cant do that on first attack
[ElSocias]: i think it's a missruled attack
[ElSocias]: yeah
[Ojama]: i think that so
[ElSocias]: maybe because "discard 1 fire energy or this attack does nothing"
[ElSocias]: but metronome says that energy requirement doesn't apply
[Ojama]: no, Clefable says that on the metronome
[ElSocias]: yeah, it's a big thing
[ElSocias]: i love clefable
[Ojama]: u dont have to discard any energies for the cost
[ElSocias]: i use it a lot on my decks
[ElSocias]: well, thanks for the chat
[Ojama]: me too ahah
[Ojama]: gg thank u too
[Ojama]: cya around
[ElSocias]: see u around

This interaction is actually correct. Clefable was mistranslated to say that it didn’t need to discard Energy to use Metronome when the Japanese text clarifies the opposite.

https://jklaczpokemon.com/wotc-erratas/#clefairy-clefable

Also, it would need to discard a FIRE Energy card to use Dark Flame, not just any Energy card.

What confuses me is that the server let you use Dark Flame for no effect and then didn’t let you use other attacks until you surrendered. That sounds serious. @admin , what do you think about this? Did Ojama encounter a game engine error? It doesn’t mention one in the chat.

That is the correct behavior

Engine currently does not support rollback of Metronome’d attacks if they fail.
