No-one thought Reuniclus had a chance when it first came out either...
The situation is far different, as every main deck in the format either shuts it down or OHKOs it. :/
Not true, as a player of a :fire: deck I've done quite well with a rather unrefined list. To write off a deck 'because the format hates it,' when it hasn't been tried too actively since NXD is ridiculous. Actual results > Theorymon
Not seeing the data.
"Actual results" aren't being given. Where are the wins? Where are the undisputible numbers?
Yeah, now that I think about it, Reuniclis wouldn't be the best choice for the deck. Serperior would be much better and so would things like flygon, chandelure, and infernape. I could also see decks with multiple stage 2s standing a chance. A couple of ideas, Emboar/Charizard, Gothitelle/Gardevoir, Empoleon varients. There will be a different way to get them out that doesn't involve starting with low HP basics. Some other cards
Pcom: If Cradilly becomes a thing, stage 2s will be much more valuable in the deck.
Virizion (Both NV and EP): Non EX grass attackers for the grass deck.
Plasmazone: We'll have more supporters to take advantage of.
Stoutland: Ghestis can get rid of their items while stoutland blocks supporters.
Mew EX: Makes it much easier to use Cradilly's attack.
Going to address long post in a list.
1. Reuniclus is bad. End of story.
2. Seeing as Serperior is Grass, ofc it will be in some Cradily variants.
3. Flygon isn't good enough to be worth it. 10 spread every turn just isn't cutting it.
4. Chandelure/Infernape aren't grass. Are you planning on running Blend?
5. Charizard isn't a good attacker, usnt fire, and a better partner for Emboar is White Kyurem EX BCR.
6. Gardevoir and Gothitelle have almost no synergy, you have no attacker, and Gothitelle isn't very good either.
7. Empoleon is already not bad. You can most likely get it out before you get Cradily out, honestly.
8. Pcomm is a must.
9. Virizion is grass, so yeah.
10. PlasmaZone is meh, due to the fact that its HP isn't great and they don't stack.
11. Stoutland I can kinda see, because he is colorless, but he also kinda has bad HP, a lame, overpriced attack, and a bad weakness.
12. Mew EX has less HP for an extra prize. Is it REALLY worth it when you can just send Lileep back to your deck with its ability?
