It seems you guys weren't around in the game pre Neo-On.
It used to be that good players maximized their decks to take advantage of T1 wins.
Many "scrub" players railed against Haymakers and Trap decks because of their "cheap" wins by Oaking to get 2 or 3 Plus Powers onto their Hitmonchan.
If you are complaining about "donk" wins that the deck is designed to get, does that make you scrubs?
comparing hitmonchan to this isn't really fair. Haymaker's entire strat was to take prizes from turns 1-6 and use weakness and low costing hard hitting attacks to its advantage. As for neo-on, losing a Round because you started with a baby and they started with tyrouge, made every person cringe. And even then tyrouge was something that could go into any deck so it was perfectly fine to put in 1 tyrouge on the off chance that you win t1. Mario on the other hand is clunky at best. sure it has tyrouge's off chance to win t1 and thats fine. No one really complains on how broken riolu is. The gripe most people have with this deck is that machamp is in here just because he's fighting and you can make a cool sounding deck name using MA and RIO. Now sure his attacks aren't bad, but thats not why the deck is a questionable choice at best. The reason why people don't like it is because its inconsistant(which is the total opposite of what haymaker was). The reason why its inconsistant is because not only are you building up lucarios with limited draw, your also using 10+ spots on the machamp. People complain about donk wins by mario only because if the person got tails, chances are, they probably would have been in good position to win.
