He beat 'bad' Luxchomp players at Worlds did he? I was there. I know who he played. You have no idea what you are talking about (and that's putting it politely).
Agreed, expecially since I feel Sami had the best Luxchomp list there.

I tried tomb but Zapdos was just soo much better for me. I can play 1 on everything and not waste a turn attacking. I did run the blowers to make killing things easy and the best thing was, the deck is cheap and could tech for a lot of stuff.

I already said my peace about it. I played the deck and Luxchomp could not do anything to me. I kill the dragons before they become problems. They can play Aarons if they way. They still have to put it in play and I kill them when they do. Lucario did not help them ether. I played my belts and plus powers when they were needed and I had techs for everything else. Zapdos kills everything they play in one hit so I can just do that.
I'm also not attacking the player. One guy said the best player was crowned, I just restated the the best deck was crowned. I don't know thw would class players skill but if his history with the game is only playing meta, I can make that clam. I can also say that world class player could not make a deck if his life depended on it. His wins are still valid and any work he did is valid as well, but the deck was crowned, not the player.
At above. What I play and how I play it is up to me. I'm known for playing deck and making them work. I took Vaporeon and Pidgeot in a GG format and made top cut, and I'll do it again.
Why don't you two play? Butlerforhire/Vaporeon. I'd be interested to hear results of Meta vs. Rogue.
@tehlizard Playtcg.me is the only way to settle it XD
@GengarIsBeast Thanks! Vaporeons comment kinda peeved me cause my friend won the most recent BR with a meta deck and he won it on skill going up against Donphans and Blastgatrs alike, I managed 5th place with Weaville/Houndoom UD (Non prime) but its always the player never the deck.
lol.
I am not a player who is constricted in any way. I play meta, "rogue", whatever is good. I'm not some mindless net decker. I spend hours practicing, thinking about all kinds of card combinations, building lists. I am not the "face of meta" in this thread. If anything, I am the face of reason.
You say that like if you won the worlds, maybe you were defeated by a japanese too, another proud stepping stone with the footprint of the king.
Is quite sad to see how you appreciate results over effort, such an elitist mentality should be a crime, thats exactly the attitude that forced the rotation. State or National top players should not swagger about their results, becoming part of the top 200... ok lets say 150 of the world is as easy as getting an invitation and not showing.
Anyway, considering results over creativity... why bother ? japanese are always better players than all of us, lets just netdeck their stuff, the champion deck was the most simple SP deck in the whole tournament, without crazy techs like REL, Manectric, Zangoose or Arceus, a single Dragonite FB was the key to earn the crown.
All Hail Luxchomp!! even I used it and won... but unlike other people I got bored of letting the deck get the victories instead of me.
lol.

No, no, no. By no means did I mean that you we're a strictly meta player. I just was reasoning that if you think MagneBoar is the best developing deck, that you represent meta.
I'd watch this matchup.
I ran out of thanks for the day just thanking butler and others since my last post. Everything they say is so true.
IF you EVER made a deck that NEVER or even +80% beat luxchomp you should have at least gone to a states and made a showing, you would have destroyed. NVM you probably did and did make a showing. VAP/PGT Lost, didn't it.
I read all comments. The problem is you all play meta and I play rogue so you can't see where I come from. I can play both meta and rogue well. I choose not to play meta because thats not how I choose to play. It's not going to contribute anything to the game and show that I can only win with meta.
You all are twisting my words. I have stated many times that I don't care how you play. If you choose to play meta, that fine and you can play your meta deck well and I give you props for that but its the deck that wins. All you can do is take the victory from playing the deck. Sure the player needs to understand how to play the deck In many reports, decks that one are listed. While the person is mention, they don't say so and so won 20 tournaments with so and so deck. They all say so and so deck won this many games. I pride myself in being able to build decks and do well with them.
And butlerforhire, why would you play rogue when you have other powerful decks to choose from. I'm almost positive you'll take a meta deck to a tournament where your rating is on the line and how can you set here and tell you spend hours practicing, thinking about all kinds of card combinations and building a list when you have a list right in front of you. Tell me, what are you playing right now?
You're going to defend meta like I defend rogue and it's as simple as that.
