Charizard AoA: A Firestorm Production Article!

Why must all of your decks be a "production"?
Sandbox Production, Firestorm Production, Bad Deck Production
I honestly thinks it is very sad that you are unable to take constructive criticism and defend your argument with logical reasoning, or any sort of answer. You basically act like you are 3 and scream "NO!"
This deck does have potential but I feel that you need to be more open to ideas.
Why the 1-1 Mewtwo? It does help the SP match up but it creates a problem with energy balance. Ninetales is somewhat unneeded also IMO. If I ran this deck I ould run 4 SSU, to break expert belt and BTS.
If you have a 'belted Charizard that is about to die, why not SSU and play it down again, waisting only 1 energy drop, and allowing you to deny your opponent 2 prizes. It seems like a no brainer.
Please don't just say "NO!" to my advice, and reply with a logical statement.

So you insult my titles and expect me to perform a scholarly duel of logic and reason? How about this logic, you say, "...Bad Deck Production" then you say, "This deck does have potential..." Bad decks are bad, they do not have potential. Do you normally contradict yourself when making a first impression or is my deck just so atrocious that it has potential? And anything that has come constructive so far I have taken with ease. Maybe if you looked back through this thread you would see that. There is a difference between constructive criticism and attacking. I am not going to put up with the latter and since you opened your statement by attacking, I was unable to take what you said seriously... Which is unfortunate because Prodigal basically helped me rework what you are saying is not needed. Talk to him as I am through with you.

Your are right. Bad Decks tend to be, well, Bad. But I was referring to the list. If you aren't going to argue with me on the points of my suggestions then please do not respond. Charizard has potential, with a good list, as does most decks. FlyDon was not what I would consider "good" though.

I didn't even take into consideration your suggestions, let alone argue them. I told you already, attacking a deck is not the way to participate in this forum. For example, the line, "FlyDon was not what I would consider good." Why say that? What bearing does that have on me other than your intent to make me feel worse about my deck? What kind of justification do you have behind rude comments like that? Or are you just some piece of washed up trash that trolls along all threads? You need to watch your mouth, especially when you do not know what your talking about.

I spend a lot of time researching and testing my articles only to spend another 2 hours writing them up and making sure they are coherent for both older and younger audiences. I love constructive advise that is straight to the point followed by logic. The more minds you can get on one theme, the better. But when people begin inserting their own personal comments and opinions about my deck it not only makes them look just rude, but also it ruins my thread with this kind of dialogue. No one forces you to post. If my deck truly is just trash I would find out at BR or Cities. My decks are not meant to be BDIF, but they are my own and not some generic copy and paste archetype. So everyone consider this a PSA,

Whoever you are, please feel free to post straight up advise that is supported with some reasoning. If you feel differently about my deck, it is not for you. And that is OK, there are plenty of other decks to look into and you can find other one's to help. It is commonly known that when you like/appreciate the idea, you are more apt to give hard work on it and that is what I want for my deck and everyone else's. I appreciate this community and I only want the best for it and its users, but this has to stop. This is the last time I will post a comment/response like this and will from here on out just skip over future comments that resemble those above.

Man everyone needs to take a deep breath and relax this is just a deck were talking about here if you have something to say about it then say it and move on there is no reason to keep coming back to the thread just to debate some points if the person who made the deck doesn't think its best for the deck, but as for my avice

-2 expert belt( as i think this hurts you more then it helps you by basically making your pokemon an ex since if its knocked out they take an extra prize card)

+1 unown g ( its always good to have an extra)
+1 stark mountain (same as ubove comment and it helps to transfer energies when a pokemon is about to be k.o'd)
 
This is gonna be the BDIF too I suppose.
Charizard is fun, gl w/ it. Imma play it at league and I shall let you know my results.

I think I am going to try SSU to get expert belt off of Charizard so that he is not an ex. I do like your suggestions and if SSU doesn't work out I will start trying out the above.

I can't see it being BDIF but it will be fun! Let me know how you do with it.
 
Big news for this deck hit this morning when HGSS scans were up. Once Arceus is released and I have the current list together and working well I will begin testing new lines that are below.

-1-1 Mewtwo
-2-2 Claydol
-1 Uxie
-1-1 Ninetales MT
-2 Psychic NRG
-1 Charmeleon SW


+3-3 Ninetales HGSS
+2-1-2 Great Typhlosion HGSS
+1 Unown G

Goods that will be used:
Pokemon Communicator

The idea for the above change is to swap out Claydol to add to Charizard's Body by having 1-2 drawing Ninetales on the bench and then also benefit by having Typhlosion NRG accelerate those onto Charizard or himself.
 
Another nice article to get new deck designers thinking. Thank you.

Your original FlyDon deck got me and my son thinking and we created a Flygon Variant for the Spring Battle Roads and he was able to take his his first Victory Medal using Flygon.

Your ability to inspire and discuss mechanics shows great SOTG.

As for this article, the New Zard will be beastly in several existing fire builds and the twist you point out has some interesting dynamics as well.

Good work.
 
i would give speedrill more credit i think its more of a 50-50 matchup as speedrill sets up WAAAAAY faster and 120 for one energy while its gonna take you 3 energy to ohko them and they have pluspowers and if they ko your charizard with expert belt 2 prizes??? i think 50-50 at the least if not in speedrills favor

You start hitting with 'Zard as fast as they do with Beedrill... T1 30+more fire+weakness, and that's ignoring e-belt.

30 base + 30 weakness + 20 E-Belt + 3 benched fires = OHKO from a Zard

Also, Adam, I'd really suggest Blaziken PT as a tech the more I think about it (barring giving AoA pocket monsters another once-over as techs), in a 2-1-2 line. The burn helps damage output if you focus on the cheaper attack, also helps you get around fainting spell, which bites -- if FS hits an E-belted Poke, they take two prizes, so watch out.

I agree, FS ruins EBelt and I can assure anyone that uses a Zard deck w/ebelt to avoid attaching when playing a Gengar variant. As for Blaziken I will definitely try that out. I am reworking the lines to accommodate for a 2-1-2 line of Great Typhlosion so Blaziken can use that place until HGSS release. Let me update my article to show that line.
 
tbh i like reading your articles. my own opinion there
charizard i can see havign huge potential, sp's will cry vs rapidash and even if they have dialga g lv x out... u got fire , x2 weakness to fire on dialga g lv x? i dont think itll last long.

i dont expect charizard to be like best deck in format , but its summit to toy around with and looks alot of fun.

good work.

Thanks! I hope you enjoy playing around with Charizard once he arrives in a few weeks.

They are located within the descriptions of the current Pokemon (such as Claydol) that will swap out upon release of HGSS.
