***Note before reading this post, After being banned from Gym for 2 weeks I do not have the time or the intrest to read all other 400ish posts of this thread, I just: read the first post of this thread, skimed the first few pages, using what I heard in talking about this with other players, and my own expereances to formulate and state My Own Opinion***
Banning a card just seems silly to me, last time I checked this isnt Yu-Gi-Oh. Think about this it is now almost 2 and a half weeks till worlds. Think about all the time and dedication players may of put into a Gardy deck with the intention of playing it for worlds, banning it now would put them at a major disadvange. I should know about this, it happen to me when they banned Worm Sandy from the Prof cup a week and a half before the event. I had a Worm Deck made for months with the intention of playing it in the cup, I understand the reason for the banned and do admit I was pritty sour about it (Going 5-3 and geting 2 Chomps out of my packs and getting the sexy playmat made up for that) but I know if they kept Worm I could of done better. If they would of gave more notice of banning Worm I know I could of came up with a better deck and could of done better. Also banning Gardy too close to worlds could effect players who have come up with something that can have a pritty solid shot at beating Gardy in antaipitation of playing vs GG/Plox at worlds. Also how about some who may of wanted to play a 1-0-1 Gardy in their deck has a tech for any match up for use of supporters, now they are disadvanged by this also? Basicly what I am trying to say here, it is too close to Worlds to ban a card, it will put some players at a disadvange.
I hear the term Gardy is “broken”… implying it can’t be beat… didn’t the auther of this thread mention something about Pooka winning some Lafonte Open with Emp. and beating GG/Plox decks to win it… guess what, sounds like Gardy is beatable.
Also something that gets on my nerves… I hear thinks like “2nd/4th at Nats want in banned” “15-20 worlds players want it banned” “He/She/This Team/That Website want it banned”. What is getting me a little ticked is who cares? Those people only repusent how much of the Pokemon Playing community worldwide through out all the age groups? Less then 1%? Don’t get me wrong they are allowed to have their own opinions just like I am stating mine now but it is what it is sounding like in the oringal post and in things I hear and read else where what is getting me ticked, It is sounding like they/their group of friends should get what they want because of how they placed at a tounament or winning an invite or who they are. Again not bashing anyone, just stating how I am inteprting things I hear and read.
I have nothing more to say but I leave you with this quote..
“If you can’t beat them join them” –Some Guy (IDK who said it, it sounded approiate to say in this point in time)

PS- Has anyone ever consitered playing 1-1 Drifblim DP to couter Gardy SW using your Supporters which is part of the “Gardy takes too much time” factor? :biggrin:
