Which is basically the point of this article. Because Machamp isn't the best choice for the deck, it shouldn't be run in the deck in the first place. Decks tend to optimize themselves, and machamp isn't the optimal choice. What Kant is getting at, you can run any of the other choices he put in the article and most likely did better at the tournament. Mario isn't competitive because machamp can be replaced by empoleon (which I still find to be a poor choice, but that's just me), dodrio, blissey, etc.
BTW, Tom, are you posting all this because you think your deck is actually good? Or are you just trying to get at every anti-mario player. Because that was the most immature post I've seen all week. All that needed was "I fart in your general direction" and you got a winner.
You Quoted My Reply....My name isn't tom. it's Cliff. and my point about the pairings (you wouldn't call epm/luc Mario was that i don't see anyone Saying Mario is the ONLY way to play Lucario
