^- I've tried every single one of those cards, it doesnt work, SP is too strong :/
And how exactly would you run a setup deck without claydol? Not a good diea, wont work either... :/
Kazam is too slow and discarding 2 cards is like serving them yourh ead on a silver plate, chatot is fun but thats it because you use mimci and they beat your bench to a pulk. Vire is too slow and vulnerable unless you run it as an entire deck and then it looses to everything else. And Pachirisu really is a joke, I've play Legos against Decks with Pachi countless times, it never hits you if you play smart. I know I sound like DP here but I mean it, I sometimes played without using gain at all.... Still was easy mostly :/
I never said don't run Claydol, Claydol is obviously a primary tool to help setup decks run, BUT honestly if u build a setup deck right it can take down SP decks semi-consistently or at least a 50-50.
How can u say Kazam is too slow? That is the one tech that EVERYBODY has taken for granted and I don't understand why. Yes it's a stage 2 that needs Candy, but it changes games drastically. The ability to play 3-4 Luxury Ball is ridiculous for your consistency. And pitching 2 cards to stop a crucial power is nothing. Think of it as a power spray requiring an extra discard in place of the 3 SP requirement.
I'm not saying it's easy to beat SP decks by any means, but people need to stop complaining and FIND YOUR WAY to deal with it. For me, the above cards have done wonders in most of my setup decks.
And, Pachi is only a joke if they are expecting it, and even then, they have to play around it. Trust me I played Palkia and it's a pain to know your opponent can drop a Pachi at any time and dish 80 to ur Palkia and rid u of your energy gain. And Pachi is a great starter regardless.
People said the same thing about Plox last year. "Every counter we have is too slow and loses to everything else." Well, I dunno what to tell u then, but I can say people found a way last year, and a smart player can find a way this year too. Especially with the card pool so big.
