tfw wins the game! No Pokémon left
Game has ended
[tfw]: gg
[MrJosturrr]: any ideas for the deck?
[MrJosturrr]: I'm throwing crap at the wall here
[tfw]: mmm
[tfw]: energy removal is kind of bad in 04
[tfw]: because everything is either playing magenton or town volunteers or blaziken
[tfw]: or energy recycle system
[MrJosturrr]: That makes sense
[tfw]: i made a controll deck that uses atm steel to trap energy in play vs removing it
[tfw]: but it wasnt that great
[MrJosturrr]: cool idea tho
[MrJosturrr]: I copied it from Muk lists but what you're saying makes sense
[MrJosturrr]: Muk can at least shut off some of those
[tfw]: yeah muk just uses it to get ahead mostly
[tfw]: muk is a very fast and consistent deck and it has the space to run disruption like that just because it can
[MrJosturrr]: I've thought about delcatty to still draw with armaldo up
[MrJosturrr]: thoughts?
[tfw]: seems fine
[tfw]: i dont know how valuable supporter lock really is either
[tfw]: since the most important turns to use a supporter are like the first 4 turns of the game
[tfw]: before youd get armaldo up
[MrJosturrr]: It may not be, I just wanted to test it after reading that there's an RS-PK deck that uses armaldo
[MrJosturrr]: Since I'm new I still have enough blind optimism to just try random junk
[tfw]: yeah its a little stronger in rspk because admin is such a strong card and you get DX sableye to lock stuff early game
