There is only one sabledonk in my area. I am 0-2 vs. it this BR season. It has won 2 BR's, 3-0 dropped, and made top cut every BR it was played. I switched to Gyrados on my last BR and out of 4 games:
- I donked once
- Whiffed donk ONLY because my special dark was prized
- Missed donk due to flashbiting wrong pokemon (active instead of bench, but was still able to T1 a 90 damage G-Dos for a prize and ultimate win.
This is way too fast for a G-Dos list to be winning / setting up!!!
I have also seen a net decked sabledonk handed to a new junior go 4-1 swiss and lose top cut only because my son luck sacked tomb starts each time.
I only hope that P!P looks at the big picture of donks and T1 high damage output and not just "How many times did Sabledonk win a BR?"
IT IS ABSOLUTELY NO FUN TO LOSE T1 WITH A HAND FULL OF GREAT CARDS TO A SABLE DONK DECK! Nor is it fun to see people T1'd by phanphy, rainbow, and 2 plus powers.
Its not just sabledonk. This format is way too fast and random.
I really hope P!P does the right thing and rotates.
