TGW and Absol - Their Effect on OP

Sorry, but no matter what, there is no card out right now that breaks anything. ANYTHING. xD Absol is a bad card. Plain and simple. People start with it, hooray them! They drop two cards from my hand, yay them! Any deck should be able to come back from a t1 absol drop [ even double drop ] without even batting an eye. No deck I've played has had any serious detriment to Absol getting Baleful Wind. Even if they drop a celio and another draw card, or a PP and a search or any other combination in between - it doesn't even phase me.

I'm trying to figure out why everyone has such a hard time against this guy. I've been TGW'd and Absol'd, and was -still- able to have hardly any problems on my side. Absol can't hold its own against almost any deck - 70 HP isn't enough to take more than an attack or two against any stage one or stage two style deck.

Sorry guys, but absol can't be compared to Yata. Not until he keeps all the cards out of your hand forever. xD

Clearly you have never played against a good absol deck then.
 
I played an Absol deck on Sunday, and my last match was against another Absol deck.

Within 2 turns, we had whittled each other's hands down to nothing. We played stuff we drew, like Strength Charm and Windstorm, on random crap (like benched Absols or Charms) since we'd end up losing that stuff to a Baleful Wind anyway. He eventually won because he topdecked a Scott and fished out three Celios to get the Gallade he needed next turn. I did not topdeck a Mars, so I was only able to discard two of his Celios. He then topdecked an Energy, attached it to his Kirlia, evolved it, and started smacking stuff. Thanks to my Minun drawing me six cards in three turns, I eventually got a Prinplup out, then an Emp X which exploded two turns later.

Safe to say I'm gonna experiment with Claydol GE.

I'd like to meet the guy who thought up Absol and slap him repeatedly.
 
absol and wager shoul be banned heres my reasons:

1) they arent fun
Basicly playing pokemon is about having fun .,.. NOTHING is more depressing than losing you hand and getting nothing. its make you wanna quit the game. See a player losing his hand does he look happy? no not becaurse he is losing but becaurse the game is wreked.

2) To based on luck
If they hit good the win if dont they lose its totally random more than should be allowed as it simply wreks reputation as a serious deck.

3) To high power lv
Not becaurse they are uber powerfull they are not BUT if you make uber luck based cards mmake them at a power lv not incouraging tournament play


Odds are however that they arent getting banned so therefore i suggest people playing some kind of smeargle delcatty variant as it totally wrecks them :D:D... (I have 12 cards 8 energies and 1 card youll want hit good luck) THEN they will learn..

1)well,you may say the person on the other end is not having fun,but what about the person PLAYING absol/wager???
2)well,doesnt every gave have luck in it?
drawing the right cards when you need them?vise versa?
3)i have no idea what this one meant.

1) So basically everyone has to run disruption decks to have fun playing a game of pokemon? That's ridiculous. Pint blank.

2) Different kinds of luck exist in this game. The kind of luck that is involved in topdecking, which is indirectly controlled with your deck building skills, and the generic luck that is not directly or indirectly by skill, cards like Absol and Wager.

2 cont.) Just because a game already has luck, that does not give an invitation for more luck. If this case were true, soon the games we all know and love will be overrun by luck, and how can anyone hope to accomplish anything in a game in which luck rules?

3) ... Yeah I didn't either.

This is really easy to understand.

all you do is play a level x, and then you have super ultra mega h4x level powers to pwnz0rz those guyz...cuz they plyad ABSOL, which is BAD BAD BAD RAWWRGH

unless of course their power lv is over 9000 becaurse then that mmakes them to uber and to luk based which could be bad for the game so dont mmake them to luck based and then they wont have such a high power lv
