My queues were: >Mewtwo>Celebi>a single PikachuWhat was your queue like?
>>57251619My five game streak was>Charizard; I had to go first but the Moltres's coinflips were complete dogwater>Mewtwo; I had to go first again but got Gardevoir out in three turns and fucking swept him>Celebi; I had to go first, but he ragequit after my Mew Genome Hacked him and flipped all three heads against his Celebi>Mewtwo again; this was the only game I actually got to go second, easy win>Farfetch'd+Aero; I was made to go first. Predicted his second Farfetch'd would have Giovanni after Mewtwo tanked and killed Revenge Marshadow so I fed Gardevoir one energy the turn before. Gardevoir killed the bird
>>57251619>use mewtwo deck>win 2, lose, win 5that was easyI played against 2 mewtwo, 2 blaine and a pikachu for the 5 winslost to a pikachu, terrible cardsfirst 2 wins was a golem and whatever else, I forgotno gyarados or celebis

>got my winstreak*ahem*FUCK pikasFUCK celebisand FUCK mewtwos
got the 5 win streak with my baby gengar deck, not bad.
>>57251619I did it but please God I hope this is the last time they do this event
got the 5 win streak with my wigglytuff ex rental deck, not bad.
>>57251686Top right is always right
>>57251686Bottom right
>>57251686It doesn't matter lol
got the 5 win streak with my deep brewed heliolisk+golbat deck
I'll try it with Charizard, I just pulled a Moltres and a Zard, they look pretty good.
>>57251715not bad.
>>57251633It was brutal. Gyarados, Pikachu, Mewtwo, Celebi, Articuno. I got destroyed so many times the game de-ranked me and made me play against literal children. Exeggutor, Serperior, Gardevoir, Pikachu, and Starmie are just too powerful to battle against when not playing meta decks. I tried all my non-meta decks and they got destroyed. The only thing that was decent was water buffalo but even that was too slow. In the end I won with Galvantula/GA Pidgeot, it only best 1 meta deck, the rest were children and bad draws.Unless this game gets anti-meta support the only way to win consistently will be meta v. meta. You simply can't have the most powerful cards in the game have bench immunity without the game devolving into who sets up first. If the next set doesn't have bench disruption it will be bleak.
>make a minor change to a deck with druddigon or mew in it>game decides it knows better than me and sneaks a useless energy colour into my deck without my consent>lose my next matchFUCK YOU
>>57251634Mewtwo is so fucking braindead
>>57251731But this isn't new, I don't know why they haven't fixed that shit yet
Big up to the guy who had a Finneon in active spot and a stacked hand for not sniping my Karp and letting me slide, I got the 5 wins all thanks to you.Thanks bro
>>57251633Celebi mirrorScollipedeWeird water/electric deck that wasnt dragoniteGengar EXFighting beatdownMewtwoMy mvp? Erika
>>572516332 MewtwosCelebiExeggutor/Serperior/Dhelmise which was the only tough match5th was a water deck running Porygon and the ancient tablets. He conceded very quickly
I fucking hate playing celebi so much
Haven't done any online matches in a while, just grinding the single player stuff for my collection. What's the meta like nowadays? Is Mewtwo still stupid? Pikachu?
>>57251779Mini set came and kicked Charizard out of the top 3, improved Mewtwo and PikaGary came in swooping, the clear dominate deck (but also has clear weaknesses)Celebi coinflips are memeyNew set in a bit less than 10 days will completely shift it (it should, considering how the mini set shifted it)
>>57251785>Exeggutor and GyaradosNeat.
Defeated at the end by a mirror match up.
they really should try to shake things up in these events. these are always just the same decks you see in random matches but with medals and i find that stale. i like the way master duel sets up some of the events with some restrictions/event exclusive ban lists to mix things up. some are really cool others meh but overall i generally enjoyed those. maybe when we have a much larger card pool they can do something different? though i dont if it could work with how the core game is structured.
>>572516331 Mewtwo where neither of us got our deck going (I KO'd 2 Kirlia with Frogadier)3 fighting decks (2 Machamp, 1 Golem) with NO hitmonlee to kick my fishMultiple Gyarados matchups (with weird brews)1 MistyCuno1 Pidgeot ex1 Scolipede1 blaineNo Celebi and No PikachuIt took 90 minutes to get my 5 wins in a row, 10 wins total and about 3 losses.
>got my 5 winsalright im hopping on a electabuzz deck to specifically fuck over gyarados players
>>57251633Casino Misty broke my streak twice, both times on turn 1.
>>57251779>What's the meta like nowadays? Is Mewtwo still stupid? Pikachu?It's still Mewtwo, but at least in my queues, Celebi has basically taken the place of Pikachu. Pikachu still exists, but it's to a much lesser degree than in GA. Sometimes you'll also see Charizard or the Fighting deck with Marshadow and Hitmonlee. Gyarados EX is about this infrequent as well. This big 2 are Mewtwo and Celebi. >>57251787>>Exeggutor and GyaradosGyarados is very good, but Exeggutor EX is actually just a Celebi deck with Exeggutor in it like 90% of the time.
I didn't encounter single digit levels this timeDid they tweak the matchmaking?
>>57251806Yeah but 80% of the time your Exeggutor is beating the shit out of everything while you spam Erika on it with Celebi waiting as the finisher for big fuckers.
>>57251787>>57251806I found the deck with 2 exeggutor ex and only 1 celebi (with no serperior) much more consistent then the 2 Celebi, 2 Serperior, 1-2 Exeggutor decks but I haven't checked the tournament stats on that.
>>57251820Exeggutor EX ends up stealing the show of any deck you put him in, but when you see "Exeggutor EX" on one of those meta report sites, it really means "Celebi" most of the time.
>get my win streak>go into event queue with venusaur deck and emblem>play straight until I'm about to win, then concede>half of my opponent just concede before I do.
>>57251798Electabuzz sucks unfortunately, Lumineon does a better job.
This win streak event was way worse than the other one. Admittedly, I got really lucky last time and got 5 wins on the first attempt, but the decks now are more obnoxious to play against.There was this one motherfucker that was playing regular Articuno and Hypno and he was hitting heads EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Was about to obliterate my phone.
>>57251674Remember when retarded faggots here said Celebi was Tier 0?
>>57251733Good thing too, I'm already only playing with one hand whenever she's on the field
>>57251840Why would you cuck yourself out of both time and XP?If you want to help players, just concede early. It's not like everyone checks what badges the opponent has or even knows the difference between the normal and SP badge.
>have alakazam ready to go>opponent has a celebi with only 2 energy and so is out of kill range>they autopilot into placing serperior and giving celebi 6 energy to REALLY make sure he kills one of my siglyphsretard of the year award
>>57251877They probably didn't think about that interaction at all
>>57251877Celebi players are easily the most retarded players. They can misplay even in situations where it doesn't seem possible to misplay, and they'll do things like switch in the Celebi to kill something even though it loses them the game on the back swing. Like, even if a line where you attack with Serperior also loses you the game, at least it doesn't immediately lose you the game, so try that one.
>>57251890even without the serperior just adding the extra energy to make 3 was enough to go from alive to dead
>>57251633>>57251789Run 1 Loss1. Lapras (early concede)2. Celebi3. Snorlax / Ninetails4. Celebi / Serperior / Mew5. Gyarados / ChattotRun 2 Win1. Farfetch / Gyarados / Bruxish2. Moltres / Ponyta3. PikachuEx / Zaptos / Electrode4. ArticunoEx / Tentacruel5. Celebi / Druddigon
>>57251898Can agree, it seems their single, real goal is to shit out the most powerful single attack, no matter the match outcome.
Seeing someone named Explodium with an FA Electrode just doesn't feel real.
>>57251901Celebi players can't read though
Almost lost my last match to a sharticuno coin flip getting one extra energy but my third match was a meme thrower with only Pikachu ex and 19 item/trainers so I guess it evens out.
>>57251633>Diglett deck (???)>Arcanine deck that disconnected on turn 2>Farfetch'd/Pikachu (???)>Pikachu deck that was running Jolteon>Articuno/Starmie that failed to draw MistyAfter my first two games were an Articuno getting 4 heads on turn 1 Misty and getting donked by a Rapidash flipping heads, I though the event would be a lot more painful.
>>57251929Make it painful for others, queue up and end streaks.
>Gatekept some Celebifag with my shitty Dragonite deckKek
>>57251929I wish I knew how to get into the shitter queue.What deck were you using?
What are brews that fuck over specific meta decks? Like Blaine for Celebi, Areodactyl/Hitmonlee for Gyarados, Scolipede for Mewtwo?
>getting a lot of thanks for a wonderpick>when I've gotten nothing but regulars for a weekAre these people getting cards that I'm not or what?
>>57251957I have not seen a single Scolipede deck so far. I''ve even seen Melmeme decks in queue.
>>57251968I played one but it can't damage gyarados fast enough
>>57251720Did it first try, yep, this deck is as good as I always thought.
>>57251956Generic netdeck Pikachu that I built to deal with the Blastoise event. I ran it entirely because I was expecting to run into a ton of Gyarados and Misty decks.
Hmmm....
>>57251987Mirror mirror who is metaest of them all
>lose a couples games memeing with joke deck>get hidden mmr dropped so fucking low im playing vs kids running stuff like dodrio and scyther>easiest 5 wins of my lifeLmao
>>57251956Hidden mmr still exists even in event queues. Just lose a couple games in a row until you're facing kids and autists running 3-4 colour decks or who cant count to 3.
Got my first 5 in a row with this; it's been my trusty deck for over a month now and tons of funYou've got lots avenues to play with so I never get bored of it>double drudd cucks sabrina>if stalling too long, can build energy on drudd to scare them and/or attack with him with a decently chunky 90 + any rough skin/shuriken chip>Gren is a 1 retreat fast hitter if you need to close 60 damage (not often, flareon is usually the big killer here)>mew to ensure zard/mewtwo/gyarados stay in the back out of fearMatch 1. Dual Articuno - couldn't get any eevees so just drudd tank + dragon claw + gren chip + mew blizzard to winMatch 2: Forgot this oneMatch 3: Probably Mewtwo but I feel bad since my Eevee Continuous Raped the guys only Sigilyph on the fieldMatch 4:Gyarados + Drudd - Drudd tank + dragon claw + gren chip to kill it and he had nothing but useless drudds after it diedMatch 5: Pika EX - Drudd tank yet again with dragon claw to hit an overzealous zapdos and flareon in the back to essentially OHKO the other uppity zapdos/pikachu since drudd and gren chip brought them in flareon rangeI didn't get to use flareon much, but he's usually the win con
>only 21 packs worth of hourglassesI'm not prepared
I did itNow I can not think about PVP until next event
Second time this has happened to me
>>57252029skill issue
Alright I'm going in. Wish me luck.
>>57251619Something about losing in this game makes me want to absolutely beat the shit out of my opponent. I think it’s cos you have absolutely no interaction with your opponent.
>>57251957Omastar is a really fun hidden deck that fucks over decks that put all their stock into one mon. Gyarados gets wrecked by it because his retreat cost is so high
>>57252048deck?
>>57251997Flareon seems like a pain to use with dual energy, at leas if you need to KO more than one mon.
>>57252066GyaraLost game 3 because I didn't draw any Magikarps
>>57252049I have this problem a lot and it's why I hate and have basically stopped playing all modern multiplayer games that try to stop communication. When you play an actual physical game IRL with people, even if you get shitstomped, you're still talking and interacting and ultimately you know it's just a game and generally you'll have a good time. With online games a lot of that human aspect is removed and so it's easy to get frustrated and angry. At least with games that allow full chat you still get some of that aspect of just people shooting the shit while you kill each other or whatever. But games that have no or extremely restricted communication like emotes only are complete bullshit and I hate them.
>>57252077you just want to call them niggers in the chat
This game is retarded pure dumb luck. I will tryhard after work.
i cant even get 4 wins in a row
Every streamer I've watched for this game is completely miserable because they have to spend all day replying to the absolute retards in their chat
>>57252088good, all streamers should be permanently miserable
>>57251633>Using Charizard/Arcanine/Mew/Moltres >First / Grass, auto concedes>Second / Fighting, never connects>Third / Mewtwo>Win because of typical Mew vs Mewtwo>Fourth / Grass, out coinflip with Mew (his 10 vs my 4 somehow) as Moltres flipped 8/9 tails >Fifth / Dragonite/Gyarados>Arcanine with 3 energy by Turn 4, utter destructionOnly time I used Charizard was to tank a Mewtwo Psydrive
Bros I got the 5 wins first try thank god because this kind of event isn't good for my heart.Now I will spend the rest of the event playing my (unfortunately shit) melmetal deck to help people get free wins.Mewtwo 2 will probably be powercrept in less than 10 days but at least he got me gold on both streak events.
>Pika Tier 1How? What list? Doesn't it get shit on by Gyara?
My fuck Gyarados deck that got 5 winsLt. Surge being compatible with Electabuzz seems extremely underrated I don't know why everyone only runs the boring Zebstrika variation of Pika decks
>>57252107No? All the pika decks run zebstrika to bench snipe magikarp.
>>57252109listed the wrong Electabuzz whoops. It's this one to snipe Magikarps and retreaters
>>57252107Pika has 80% winrate vs Gyara, what drugs are you on? Zebstrika dumpsters the deck and Pika kills them too fast before they can setup.
>>57251633I'm this guy >>57252099First 2 matches 2 japanese players doing blaine3rd Japanese playing gyarados ex but he bricked4th a guy played pidgey and immediately scooped 5th a fucking celebi but I played second and his first attack got 2 tails and second attack did 100 damage to mewtwo and he got snivy late.Gold emblem.
>>57252107Any deck will get shat on by gyara if he got lucky with misty
>>57251686No waifu today got charizard
5th win was someone with dogshit internet so I was handed the win without the game starting
I haven't hit a single heads on Exeggutor in like 30 turns.
>>57252129good. all coinflippers should get the rope
Got the emblem, now just waiting for the scizor/sneasel/tyranitar decks next week.
>>57252134This game is all coinflips, negroid. The very first coinflip decides the game
>3 wrong pack godpacks unfriending>got a card i dont need or use in a godpick>lost 5th game to a coinflipi cant do this anymore
>>57252141You deserve it for godpack cheating.
>here's your godpack bro
>>57252129I had a run of games where I got 3/24 heads on celebi (across multiple hits)Two of those heads were a 2/2 hit
death to celebifags
>opponent has charizard mat>lost my streak because both Pikachu are at the literal end of the deckHmm I see
did it with exeggutor/greninja/mew with G/B energies. funny how the best stage1, best stage2 and best base can all go into the same deck even though they're all different colors
>>57252141iktf godpackbroi almost always don't get the godpack first tryit takes so long spamming add friend , yet the bot removes you ultra quick
>No good pulls for a week>consistently got the worst pick out of all GP for a week
>get no Pokeball or oakin opening hand>one basic>going firstOwari da
>>57252176I started my last game like this against a Celebi, I actually screamed out lout, but somehow managed to win.
my brew deck isnt winning me games
>>57252206post itwe can collabbrew/brewlaborate
I hope we get a proper dark deck soon and every gaytwo player gets destroyed.
>>57252206Need to change your hops brewski
>First match of the event, using a Melmetal and Greninja deck>Opponent is a charizard ex deck>I go first, can only play meltan. I bricked so hard.>Opponent has Ponyta active, charmander and Moltres Ex on bench>Puts energy on Moltres, ends turn>I draw, get Frogadier.

He puts the energy on Moltres... okay?>My turn, draw and panic evolve into Melmetal. Can't attack for another turn due to 3 energy>His turn, he realizes he fucked up and attacks with Rapidash after giving it an energy. Down to 90 hp>My turn, attack with Melmetal, defeat his Rapidash>He puts out Moltres ex, and attacks with it. Melmetal is now at 20 hp>My turn, I draw Oak. Oak gives Pokeball and Froakie, Pokeball gives my second Meltan>Attack his Moltres, it's down to 20hp>His turn, he retreats Moltres ex for Charmander, and uses Charmander to KO Melmetal. I send out Froakie.>My turn, evolve to Frogadier, put an energy on Frogadier, and use Sabrina.>Opponent concedesI appreciate that he threw the game that hard.
>6 days leftWas the last 5 win streak event this short?
>>57252167From my experience, the Charizard mat wins you more games than the Eevee mat. I haven't had a chance to really test the Blastoise mat yet.
>>57252234Yes, one week.
this is a fun game
Got my 5 wins with this deck top kek. 3/5 was ragequits as expected. Only electric, no psychic energy. Enjoy.
>Opponent started with Celebi and Snivy>Had potion and Erika in hand, as well as the full evolution lineOh no>I stalled, sacrificing a Drudigon and Froakie, and juiced up a Melmetal with a Giovanni to take out his Celebi>He conceded because he had no answerOh yes
>actually managed to win 4 battles in a row.>Last battle depended of a coin roll.>Tails.>Immediately concede in rage.Godfuckingdammit, I would also have won If I only draw a sabrina during my final turn, fuck everything.
>>57252262This is why consecutive win events are shit. It's ENTIRELY RNG if you can complete it. You still have six days, so hang in there.
>>57252218tyranitar/umbreon deck soon trust the plan
>>57252263Holy shit, I was so blinded by rage I mistyped, it wasn't a tails, it was a heads...on the opponent sleep check
>>57252077They should at least allow emotes. That'd be one more thing they could sell.
>>57252269>He uses sleepcancerDeserved L
>First two wins were entirely flukes and only happened because my opponent misplayed>Lose third matchNot even mad here, I didn't earn those first two wins at all.
>>57252284Everything is cancer for you people, also how else I gonna stall to arm up Melmetal? I don't like the drugennion stall, is a wasted of card slots.
He’s been melting down for 8 days now
I actually enjoy these events, because you get a pretty good idea of the current meta at the end of each season, once you have the emblem. Can't wait for the next expansion.
this event is just rage inducingthis game has to be some sort social experiment
>>57252315>>57252318The duality of anon.
>>57252318It is.The game asking you if you want to Thanks after a battle is just the prisoners dilemma.Always cooperate.
>Get the 5 win streak 1st try through wacky misfortune on my opponentsNow I can just concede 5 times a day collecting my axewound tickets and help everyone else's streaks
