medanite was in fact the best deck (and most fun to play) ever!
IMHO, Lucario is an archetype. Machamp just piggy bags off of Lucario and rides the broken train to success. It's just like Arcanine/Blissey and a few other decks where there is one really good pokemon combined with another decent one. The decent one doesn't do much in games, but can work decently with the really good pokemon.
IMHO, Mario isn't an archetype because it's just another Lucario variant. But IMHO, Mario is a deck too, and deserves respect just as much as any other deck.
blissey wins because its the bcif in its simplicity and donkage power. If the blissey hits turn 2 with a couple boosts its over.
And metanite was THE archtype for half of last season.
OK you had Sceptile Ex for Speed Spread,you still had Jirachi Ex in the deck so you still got no powers and his attack was just the regular cost. No drawback. You had licki to spread to to Sceptile δ ex and Ray finshed the job if it came down to it.
R-Gon was a clash,but most of the time R-Gon came out on top.
Destiny literally destroyed Metanite,it was like a 80/20 in Destiny's favor.
Banette mostly did win around t6-t7
MSNBC was like the same setup but could snipe and hit things on the bench.
Better.Ambush was around the same matchup as destiny,but around 70/30.
Ape killed it,T2 Fire Blitz mostly killed it.
Mario also beat it(yes donking the castform killed it and cess)
Mewtrick could beat it around 60/40 since it stops trainers so no candy,no transceiver.
Also if it killed the castform quick,then it was over.Raieggs killed it,
Flariados could defint take it,speed over setup.
Super Stantler could withstand it since Marawak was in it and Cess and Legacy helps.
Metanite won 56 cities and around 5-7 states. Cities it was the best choice,states and regionals.no It was a good deck starting the season,but the metagame got quicker and people knew how to withstand and stop their accels. It was a good deck,but not the best deck in the format.
man sparta i agree with you 96%. i didnt give you a full 100 because ambush was a piece of cake. but i agree with the rest of what you saidMetanite was the best deck last format. Sceptile ex beat speed spread, R-Gon was a clash, Banette died if it didn't win early. The only match that was even worrisome was ambush.
Mewtric DIED before cities were even finished, Ness even admited it, why must you name dead decks?
During Cities, and States, Metanite was BDIF. People said that during that time.(referring to Matenite) ....It was a good deck,but not the best deck in the format.
SPARTA said:Ever heard of Ape? Lucario? Yeah, they kinda killed this deck. Stop naming decks that completly failed in those metagames.~´Flygon´~ said:MSNBC was like the same setup but could snipe and hit things on the bench.
What a random place for all the Mario hate. Did Mario steal your lunch money or something guys?
Destiny lasted til the end of the season
