Got the 5-win streak using machamp/onix. Saw an absurd amount of pikachu which made me switch off of my starmie deck, paid off big time

I do but I feel gross playing it gonna sit this one out

>>57049123
I did it with Pika because it feels the most consistent of the meta decks, but I saw way too many M2s, a handful of Zards and Blaines, some greniggas, some Cunos and then some odd ones out, like Fighting and Dark. I ran into exactly one Grass.
>>
>>57049123
Yeah just play a meta deck. As far as I'm aware it just matches you vs anyone queuing so most people are easy wins
>>
If you play a dark deck algorithm is guaranteed to give you Articuno Ex or other Dark deck opponents.

If you play electric you will never ever see an Articuno Ex opp.

What's the point of joining just to concede? Aren't you fucking up your match win ratio?

What'd you pair your Gar with

>>57049143
Some might consider that a positive. Giving people free wins in the winstreakevent while also tanking MMR for their own runs is a win/win
>>
>>57049143
I already have 5 wins and don't want to play against your deck; possibly because it keeps mirror matching Dark to Dark.

Imagine not having this piece of shit
I used a deck that consisted of 18 trainers and two articunos ex.

>>57049131
>>57049133
I played it because it's what I had on hand and it's the one thing I play that's not my main. Obviously I can't go Grass on the tryhard event, so Pika it was.
Now I can go play my own stuff in there without stressing.

The algorithm is too heavy handed in its current implementation. I dare say it would be better if matchmaking was entirely random, but I get the sense the intention is to collect data for all the matchups and mirror matches

Pull out your Pikachu deck and show them yours is bigger. This game is disrespectfully barebones for how much money it's made in one whole month for you to stress over some stupid pvp medal. If you want the medal, just whip out your Pikadeck or some other cheesedeck and get it over with. Don't let your pride about using nonmeta to get the medal get in the way of your mental health (if that's what you're doing). Remember, Pikachu loves you.

Won first 5 in a row before getting all 15 wins in about 20 matches. The entire Pikachu ex userbase is out in force right now, luckily Misty clutched up for me.
>>
>>57049188
I've used Pikachu ex (2 pika 2 zap ex 2 electrode), got two win streak before I went back to losing every game because of bricked hands vs opponents' god hands. Tried Articuno ex 18t, got fucked. Can't do Weezing decks because for some ungodly reason I only have one Weezing and can't afford another right now. I'm about to try the promo mankey stuff, though I'm most likely going to run into even more Pikachu decks that don't brick. I play super casually so I don't know all the meme decks.

This is literally the only deck I play against. It makes me want to fucking end it all. I guess ill be going PIKA just to get the medal. Which sucks because I've been having a blast with Monkey x Tops

Anyone have any fun meme deck builds? I'm not huge on Moltres/Misty coinflip shit. I've been having a blast trying different stuff. Koga deck is fun, Kabutops x promo mankey is fun and high risk, tried a blane deck but wasn't too sure on it yet

Welp matched up against greninja with none of my evos for 3 turns and he had the perfect curve but he only had one pokemon on the field

Basically the whole point of the deck is to fuck around with coinflips and waste as much time as possible until you power up Dragonite for the ultimate coinflip attack. The funniest deck in the game

That is a fun idea but I dunno how consistently you would get him 2 water energies unless you add Misty to the deck

As far as meme decks go I like Marowak/Kabutops. You're guaranteed to start with a cubone, and you play 2x marowak and 2x marowak ex, and evolve according to if you're on the play or draw. Not the best deck since kabutops is unreliable but it's pretty fun

Misty needs to be fucking nerfed. So retarded to lose a match before you can even put a single energy as a result of turn 1 coinflip when they go first. You literally have 0 counter play because you can't even fucking play at all.

>>57049128
It is if you're on fucking win 4 and go against first turn Articuno who gets 6 energies off the bat.

>>57049197
I was losing with Electrode until I switch to Heliolisk, but that might just be my experience. The free switch and stable damage is much nicer than the possible extra 10 damage, but the lizard worked for me. Throw in a Pincurchin and regular Zapdos too though.

Just build a meta deck as they crush basically everything. The CPU doesn't cheat or have cards better than what you can have. Getting clears is easy, doing the objectives with shitty disadvantage decks is the hard part

It's not, it's actually a large data collection event. The matchmaking is designed to put different deck types in different predetermined matchups to get a wide collection of winrates. The only players with the 5 win streak were literally handed their wins.

I'm ashamed but I did that once during this event. On my 4th win and the last fight is a Jiggly staller where I lose the coin flip 6 times in a row, win it once, and then lose it thrice again. The next match was yet another Jiggly stall and on my 4th loss in a row, I just walked away with the game still on.

Master Duel started with 250k~ concurrent players. Then all the normies' Dark Magician and Blue-Eyes got wrecked by meta cancer in PVP and the numbers dwindled down to the 20k~ it stands at now.
That said this game does advertise itself more on the casual card collection part and not necessarily PVP like MD

Does this game just have a different demographic than other competitive games? I’m not gonna pretend I haven’t malded over bad ladder rng/tilt in games back in the day but they genuinely could not have casualized it any more than 5 wins, people have done the math and you will likely get the emblem pretty easily if you/your deck are solid enough.
>>
>>57049581
the best part is that you can display the emblem while breaking win streaks so your opponents know you've already got the achievement and you're just there to break their streaks

maximum seethe

>>57049604
That's the only deck I lost to with my Pikachu. 1 loss while bricking in a mirror match up against a Pikachu that drew pretty much perfectly, 6 wins against everyone else even when I bricked and the opponent did shit like Misty 3 energy on Lapras turn 1 and I didn't even have my Pikachu (or Zapdos) until turn 5.

Received 2 losses on the way. I was worried because the last game for the 5th win I just had regular Pikachu for the first 5 of my turns. Luckily my opponent was playing some Meowth Kangaskhan Dragonite dogshit and just did nothing forever

What's my concession? Do you think I downloaded this game to play the TCG? I downloaded the game to collect cards. I play the TCG because it gives me more cards. The end goal is to collect cards. I only do anything in this game to collect cards. The TCG might as well not have existed and it would've made no difference on whether I downloaded the game or not.

This event has convinced me that mmr is real though, the players I’ve faced are much worse than the ones I get in the normal queue and have silly decks like Heliolisk in Pikachu, to boot
>>
I'll say that collecting all cards is like 70% for me, battling is 30%. I still do all events and battles (got all the trophies so far), but the gameplay is really simplistic here. It just can't keep up with what can be done in something like MTG.
However I really like how smooth and clean the client is and collecting is fun so for now I'm interested and doing my daily minutes in it, pretty close to Mew now.
>>
Look at this shit!
The real f2p experience in this 5 win event.
>>
Does this event give you anything decent after the dust rewards? It's impossible for me to hit five consecutive wins with my shit cards/shit luck, so I just want to concede enough times to get the card hourglasses and be done with this dueling crap.
>>
tell me why I should run basic Mewtwo instead of the best card in the game

game is actually pretty balanced for a first try

Heh, noob. I've been playing this game from the start and got exactly one FA card from all of my wonderpicks.
>>
>>57049719
they're suggesting you go back in after you've won and give away a few wins to be nice, I imagine. It's pretty common in digital card games. Especially for cancerous events that are 90% luck.
>>
>>57049720
It just deducts the damage it’s already taken from its new max HP

>>57049712
In my case, the opponent got two heads and one tails each time he played the card.
Disgastang!

It's funny when anons genuinely try to pretend that this game is skillful. It's not. You can only ever possibly do 2 or 3 different things. Everyone plays near perfectly because the game is not very deep or complex, and there is practically zero interaction.
>>
>>57049789
A combination of you being bad and having worse luck
>>
>>57049802
Sure, I agree. The game lacks options and complexity. We need a few more interesting item cards and at least one more "mechanic" in the game.

>>57049802
Marvel Snap had the same problem. People who've never played a real card game trying to pretend they're playing a real card game.

Right now there's too few trainer cards to really mix anything up. And since there's only 3 top meta decks, it's all variations on a theme.

I think once we get some more trainer cards and some different mons, you're gonna see much different play styles come out

inb4 there are only stall and blitz decks.

It already has. There are people who got 5 wins as their first 5 games, and they will think they are hot shit forever. That's what happens when you put a "competitive" goal on a coinflip game.

>noooo this game should only ever have events that EVERYONE no matter what can get gold in just by grinding

That's still true of this event by the very nature of how much luck results in a win. If you play 20 games every day for a week eventually you will just luck your way into 5 people bricking in a row
>>
>>57049886
Maybe, but odds are already slim if your deck is mediocre and you give potential wins away through misplays.

Everyone, no matter what, can still win 5 games in a row, you just might have to play a lot. You're not good or skillful for getting lucky.

That's also true of the retards you're queuing up against, as well.

>>
>>57049769
Actually percentage health recovery would be worse design because it would make knowing the possible plays your opponent could make more obfuscated. Planning and mind games around the capabilities of both players cards is where skill lies within card games during the actual playing of cards. Needlessly making that more complicated does nothing to increase the skill involved beyond giving people who can memorize the math involved in every single card a slight edge. The effort vs the payoff would be nonexistant.

Bound to happen. I’ve been warning for weeks that the event would suck. Nothing is that consistent in this game, and the game can easily match you up with something like a turn 1 or 2 Misty Articuno at any point.

That too probably. Im currently pissing and shitting myself too much from this event to think that hard about it.

Honestly, I am secretly hoping I dont get the 5 streak badge so that the fomo hits me hard enough that I break free from the need to have a perfect account. Playing this has renewed my love of card games and actually gave me some ideas for making my own tcg. But I hate gacha with a passion because im super susceptible to fomo. And the sooner I fuck up and miss out on something the easier it will be for me to escape.

>>
After many tries with Exeggutor/Butterfree and getting to 4 wins twice, I finally gave up and just used Mewtwo. They didn't make it easy for me either way. I ran into Arbok/Weezing, a Wigglytuff where the match came down to the final coinflip, a Misty deck that whiffed hard, a Mewtwo mirror, and a Blaine aggro that 100% would have won if they had drawn Sabrina.

i won 2 and then couldn't out tempo a mewtwo deck and have lost every one since.. i will try again tomorrow.

Its funny how introducing a viable jigglypuff card has made this game 100% more inconsistent than it was before. I haven’t even come close to 5 in a row but i did just get 3 robbing several mewtwo, pika and charizard decks with 1 sleep coin flip

>>57050002
I've been running Dugtrio Meme just to spite Pikachu players. Broke four of their winstreaks so far. Can keep doing it as long as you throw the fifth match.
>>
>>57050008
If you want a binder with 30 copies wearing one decal and a separate binder with 30 copies wearing the other you need 90 to 92 copies, depending on your flair route.
>>
>>57050014
A big reason is that the current game isn't really built around status conditions besides poison. There are only a small handful of Pokemon that can even inflict the others and no real counterplay besides a well-timed evolution.

It's fun but I feel like turning it into wiggly is only so so worth it, maybe time is better spent setting up something else on the bench

The PvP in this game isn't p2w, you're just retarded. The thing that sucks about the PvP in this game is that there is very little player agency over the outcome of the match.

I have not seen a single low-level account on pvp, maybe like one or two at the beginning of last month
but for this event, not even during the last pvp event, for this one specifically there are so many level 10 or below accounts that it actually makes me feel like I'm bullying some kids who just started playing

Never happened to me. I also lose most games since I play casino decks, so according to your theory I should be getting matched against shitters, but all I'm facing is Mewtwo, Charizard and Pikachu.

The deck I'm seeing here is 1 Mewtwo, 4 Maintenance, 55 Psychic energy. If your opponent doesn't kill you before you attach 2 energy you stall until they deck out.

>>57050194
>there’s poorfag cards like heliolisk and heatmor everywhere
No there absolutely fucking isn't.
>kids that sac their wincon to Sabrina because they panic.
I fucking wish I could play someone this retarded.

Where are you guys located? How are you getting matched against shitters? Are you an Android, iOS, or emulator? What the fuck is the matchmaking for this game that you get to play retards and I have to play FA rares whale Pikachu, Mewtwo, and Charizard decks (though I'm seeing a lot of Mistycuno too, definitely more than last event)?
>>
>>57050212
So it counts? I'll probably do that then. People are already salty enough
>>
>>57050215
>bootlicker
You're definitely retarded. I have all of the meta decks and I'm f2p. The things that I can't make are some of the off-meta decks.
>>
>>57050205
I’ve seen a couple of oddballs, but the majority of the decks I’ve seen are pretty sweaty. Definitely more shitter chards like Heliolisk floating around, though. Just doesn’t matter when the game routinely fucks me on the coin flips.
>>
>>57050219
I mean I played a couple good decks and got my streak early so I’ve been using memes and the stakes aren’t as high but in normal queueing I always get hard meta decks and decent players. The Sabrina thing is a true story too, had one guy give me 4 energy Blastoise EX to Omastar and another give me Pikachu to Wigglytuff for a coinflip that was my only out since the rest of the deck bricked that game. I’m on ios but I doubt it affects anything
>>
>>57050241
>I’m on ios but I doubt it affects anything
I'm on Android (emulator) and I literally only play against sweats. I wonder if all the people playing against shitters are all iOS.
>>
>>57050215
Not him but you're a mouth breathing retard if you sincerely think this game is p2w.
This is one of the best gacha card games for f2p (like me)
You've not experienced true card game cancer like clash royale where if you're not p2w you're royally fucked.
>>
>>57050219
>Android, US, Playing since Launch, Lv. 24
>Was the guy playing standard darkbro + Jigg against level10 heatmor

Don't know what to tell you; only full meta deck I played in the five games I had was vs PikaEX. Others had some jank non-standard Dragonite build, a weird attempt at Alakazam + regular Mew2, something else I don't recall. Definitely far less sweaty than my regular queue battles though.

Let me put it this way, I BARELY won against a terrible Zard deck a minute ago after I bricked with Blaine, only pulling through because the Artodactyl tech did its job and banished Zard. Game before? I lost to a meme M2 split energy deck because my Vulpix couldn’t land a heads to save its life (missed twice before getting two-shot by Koffing). Doesn’t even matter if the opposing decks suck when you can’t get luck with draws.

Get Sabrina'd
Too often people throw their wincon by adding someone to the bench at the end.

Got my 5 wins on the first try today.

2 of them conceded so that's nice. The last one was a real battle and only reason I won is because he red card me into the Giovanni I needed to seal it out. good shit
>>
>>57050266
>while iOS players are operating on borrowed screen time while mommy is distracted by her soap.
I didn't say that, you did. I just wanna know why the literal only thing I play against are Mewtwo, Pikachu, Charizard, and Misty when we've got people in thread playing against level 10s playing Heatmor or people playing jank and saccing their wincon to Sabrina.
>>
>>57050203
No. It was a trash deck that a magazine published once, so people thought it was a thing. The issue is that EVERY deck at the time ran energy removal, so all you had to do was wait until you had something that could do 60 damage, ER Mewtwo so it couldn't barrier next turn, then kill it.

I'd still trying but every time I got to game 5 I bricked against Pikachu. Farfetch'd's 60 HP hasn't mattered so I recently switched it for Porygon. And I have to say, Porygon is a really cool dude. I'm getting a lot more value out of its ability than I thought I would.

I've seen 3 but haven't paid for any of them. I got 2 of each promo 3 days in from the bonus picks. If you big time no-life they come steadily. I'm talking noticing you have picks expiring in 6 and 8 minutes and checking before the 8u minute expiration to get an extra roll. That's a common situation and it makes a big difference for the number of bonus you get in a day.

It’s not the most optimized of lists since I threw it together in literally 30 seconds but here:
>2-2-2 Machamp ex
>2 Onix
>2 potion
>2 ball
>2 oak
>2 Giovanni
>2 Sabrina
>2 brock
The gios proved to be really important in multiple matchups, it allows machamp to ohko zapdos and starmie. I’d probably shave a brock and a sabrina for 2 x-speed were I to keep playing the deck. The retreat costs are brutal and a lot of the time it felt like I had to commit to an active until it died pretty much every time I sent it in.

Hey so i just started a couple of days ago and was wondering what kinda guys i could build decks around. I've seen people say to just play what Pokémon you like, but I haven't gotten a samurott yet to build around if they are in the game yet. i have the ability cards and stuff, and i know i just need to keep unpacking for filler. I play a lot of MTG, so i know decks have a formula for building.

You don't really have anything you can build with just those cards. Maybe a Blaine deck with Ninetals and Rapidash if you have 2 of those?

I brought Golem into the regular queue and got Weezing/Wiggly and Marowak back to back. There is definitely ‘something’ going on in matchmaking but it’s hard to say what.

They did a bigger humiliation ritual for their other game, Masters. The game made 26 M in its first week but people realized there was nothing to do so most people including the vast vast majority of its content creators abandoned it, and it was so dire that the company put out an official apology dev letter. They didn't really learn their lesson it seems with this game. They just have more of a cushion because cards suck players in harder.

There's most likely a track of what cards counter your selection of cards at a given point and the more you LOSE with these, the more you feed the system to fuck you. I've never put Victreebel on any PvP match before but used all previous ones to try to get my 45 wins medal.

If I pick Blaine it matches me with Pikachu that OHKO the whole deck. Ok. If I pick Mewtwo somehow everyone is playing a Weezing/Arbok core, it even threw me Nidos. Ok. If I go with Pikachu I always brick horribly and the mirror makes me go first.

Victreebel deck? go second, coins just work. Everyone is playing comfy stuff, no pressure whatsover. A dude even threw the match with cubone and not adding energies or anything. It was insane. Oh and do not even start me on all the Articunny decks all opening misty and winning but mine? all tails or just no misty lol.

Golduck alone would bump your deck ratio

I homebrewed myself a random deck, luckily it turned out to be pretty decent and I scraped by to a 5 win streak

If my brother can get a 6 win streak with a Frosmoth Wigglytuff EX deck, you and your deck should do fine.

Need to stall sometimes for your stage 1/2, good basic for going second since he can tank a 90 hit, and since it's an aggro deck I really can't afford to have Kang in the slot missing dmg, I need garunteed investment for all my energy use since no fat sweeper

>>57051000
the coin flip is weighed, people think that virtual coins equals reality though
>>

>if a deck intended to spam stun can win you should do fine too

>>57051016
I have the medal, there is nothing more to play for…
>>
So far, my current streak is zero wins.
>>
>>57051038
Nice man, I bet you won a lot of games despite going second as well
>>
>>57051049
he's on 7 wins now.

This game needs two things
1) let you choose which energy shows up in multi-energy decks
2) introduce one more mechanic, I dunno something that introduces more options as to possible plays. Maybe some kind of interacting more with the enemy hand or even your discard pile

>get my 5 win streak with Mewtwo EX spam
>after only play dark decks to cuck mewtwo decks
better switch to fighting decks chuds
>>
>>57051038
>no gio on ladder
Yeah it sure looks like a homebrew
>>
>>57051084
your second point will come. Stadiums will be made, discard pile tracking is already registered. Tools are there too. It is just a matter of time.

Absolute trash suggestion, that means the freaks putting articuno ex into multicolored decks don't get punished for putting a triple pip in their multicolor deck
>>
>>57051098
I don't really feel like Gio would help me often in this deck
>>
When do all of the events end?

>zero Magnemite
>zero Venusaur
>2 win streak

Shortsighted imo. Letting people play dual colors more easily would vastly increase the deck variety you would see.
>>
Exeggutor EX on turn 3 is scary.
