Most Broken Card Ever: Goop Gas Attack should be banned from Unlimited

[Phazon Elite]

Why ban a card that is extremely underused in a format where their are only 3-4 decks that are anywhere near viable...

Because, it makes those three or four decks even BETTER!

Seriously, the Budew-GGA combo is the single BEST anti-power strategy IN THE GAME! Why? Well, because GGA wears off at the end of your opponent's turn, thus allowing you to use your own Powers BEFORE reinstating the anti power! That's right, ANY deck can afford to sacrifice the eight slots in order to put a 4-4 Budew-GGA line in! This means that those leet Wailord ex-Budew-GGA players could even tech in a 4-4 Sandstorm Xatu line, perhaps even a Jolteon *, thus making their Wailord ex nearly unpwnable.

Pokemart, I want to know where you live, so I can move there and experience this truly advanced meta. The best my lame meta has come up with is Raticate-Muk. </3

cards arent going to get banned from UNLIMITED
thats kind of the point of the format, its UNLIMITED

That's what everyone thinks. Then again, everyone thought Delta Species was gonna stay in for the 07-08 season, didn't they?

I rofled when I read this thread, it's classic.

GGA is a card that reflects everything Unlimited SHOULD be: a techable counter to a strategy. Stop it with Slowking or bloody Psyduck (lol) if it's such a threat!

While we're at it, let's ban GoW too and we can all base it on luck with Magby and Brock's Mankey. Or not.

What powers are useful in Unlimited anyway? Blastoise and Slowking?

But, Psyduck can just be GoW-ed! Worst Trainer Lock ever.

Also, Dark Vileplume, Muk and Vileplume ex have great Bodies/Powers. How do you expect decks with them to survive with GGA still in the format, hmnm?

hey phazon, lets play a game
its called thinking
lets think of another card that shuts off pokemon powers and can be brought out with budew
...
got it yet
ITS CESSATION CRYSTAL
it stays in play, shuts off powers, and has no counter (look me in the eyes and say you play windstorm in unlimited)
stop whining and just play around it, just like people do the other 738928 broken unlimited cards

 

[Jeremy Badeaux]

Honestly Phazon does tech a windstorm into unlimited decks now(yes, I have played against him while I've been on leave).

Unlimited hasn't really been about those little archetypes for a while(seriously, Plume ex gets mauled by good players).
More often than not, it comes down to tech. Look how many non-trainer ways there are to accomplish certain tasks now(even going back to HL Jirachi if need be).

Anybody that loses to anything based on Budew in unlimited, deserves to lose(I'm not saying you can't have fun losing). I'm honestly hoping that this is a joke thread.

 

[Alazor]

Are you saying that not even the archetypes are as good as they used to be?

hey promise, lets play a game
its called thinking
lets think of another card which counters cessation crystal and can be brought out with budew
...

ITS GUST OF WIND

Are you saying that not even the archetypes are as good as they used to be?

Correct, good sir or madam.

Let's take good old Vileplume ex, for example. If my deck plays Muk, most Vileplume players just GoW and kill each individual Grimer I play. What happens, though, if I Mentor for TWO Grimers, and play both simultaneously. What if I play Fossil Psyduck and give you a Headache, thus forcing you to kill the duck and not the Grimer. What if I Roselia/DS Hypno/DX Nosepass/Unown M MT your Vile ex away, Candy up to Muk, then do whatever the heck I want from there on?
(sorry if that sounded kinda mean towards you; twasn't the intent at all)
However, nothing can beat Budew-GGA-Wailord ex. It just pwns Metanite and LBS too easily. Especially if you put a Jolteon * tech in; so broken.

...

quite whining and play the game
if you dont like the way unlimited work...
...

...
nope, no solution comes to mind
i guess you could always quit whining...

 

[Bobby]

I would recommend mantric ex + stragh charm to beat wailord. goop gas attack is legit comation!

 

[ThePromise]

anthoy would spell that liget bobby

 

[blazekid]

is this a serious post cause ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
its not the brighest
1 u can only use four in a deck, unlimited is about speed trainers not powers, Gust of wind is far more broken and energy removal

 

[Bobby]

yeah but you can use 4 item finder, 4 celebi ex, and 4 scoop up, thats SIXTEEN GOOP GAS ATTACK! Ughhh so good.

 

[blazekid]

you cant honestly think that its better than cessation and if you do than thats dumb
PLume ex with aerodactyl is like the most played unlimited deck and gas attack cant touch it
SURE you have 16 ways to play it but then your just building an entire deck around a crap card

 

[Jeremy Badeaux]

Okay, Marv. . . Phazon is obviously joking.

Goop Gas is honestly a good tech card though(for when you just need that one turn and you don't have the time or means for a Muk).

Promise, considering that you're arguing with a joke post, you're looking a little silly.
On top of that, all of those awesome cards you just mentioned are all but dead in any area with an active unlimited format(aside from the occasional plume ex).

Anybody who kept an eye on unlimited these past three or four years has gotten a good show, but there are so many people who ignore the format for years at a time and think it never changed when they weren't looking.

 

[Phazon Elite]

Eh, I'll bite the hook.

ever heard of slowking?
vile ex?
chaos gym?
dark vile plume?
know what they do?

Dude, this is unlimited. There are too many counters to your counters: Aerodactyl ex, Roselia, Stantler, Omastar, etc.

Not to mention that Aerodactyl ex can counter Cessation Crystal by effectively transforming Gust of Wind into a Windstorm.

And, of course, Muk. All I need to do is get him into play, then I can finally use my GGA.

(I just RHYMED a solution to everything! OH!)

BTW, I, like Jeremy, play at least one or two GGA in every deck I make. Even Blastoise.

 

[Sandslash7]

However, nothing can beat Budew-GGA-Wailord ex. It just pwns Metanite and LBS too easily. Especially if you put a Jolteon * tech in; so broken.

Did you read the deck I gave?

I almost garuntee you it will not look twice at Wailord.

Seriously. Dwindling Wave on Gatr = OHKO for you. (with Plus Power and DRE, so you can loop it) you don't even need Gatr's power.

That is one of the easiest strategies. Seriously, what other pokemon does Wailord play?

Budew doesn't hurt, plus the only attack that they have does damage is 100, and then you just OHKO again. (And if they do a Dwindling Wave VS a Gatr w/100 already on him, you can drag off a Budew/Wailmer/Wailord ex on the bench, than Rage for the OHKO when the Scoop Up or SSU)

There is NO way for Wailord ex to beat Gatr. I can say the the only thing in your way is bad hand/shuffling.

 

[JohnnyBlaze]

Man - Where were you unlimited players at Worlds? It was just me and thisother kids that brought our unlimited decks. He was using Riptide Gatr and folded to me in 2 min. Really lets plan an Unlimited side event tournament at next years Worlds 2008 in Orl. FL for those that are going.

 

[Magic_Umbreon]

But, Psyduck can just be GoW-ed! Worst Trainer Lock ever.

Surely Psyduck prevents GoW being played the following turn?!

i love aerodactyl ex
gust of wind, buzz, plus plus
free two prizes
and btw, brilliant with the muk
bring out a pokemon who shuts of powers, then play a trainer that shuts off powers
boy i wish i were as good as you...

and if you are seriously saying use stantler, roselia, and omastar in UNLIMITED, just let me know, so i can disregard any further words that ever come from your mouth ever again
kthxbai

 

[Phazon Elite]

Isn't it fun being so hard to virtually disect that nobody can tell when you're being serious or not?

On that note, yes, Roselia and Stantler have their specific metagame uses, as do Supporters.
I wish you were as good as me, too.

 

[thegatekeeper]

Lol, guys you have all fallen for this stupid post of Pokemart's... Notice he/she is not posting at all now...

He/she is just sitting back laughing at the thread created here.

Notice how my request for a wailord decklist has been ignored... (through fear of COMPLETE embarressment) ???

Just stop wasting your time on such thread!

GGA - shyeah, whatever.

 

[Tyranitar7]

Unlimited makes my head hurt.
