does anyone wanna play me on apprentice using their Blaze EX deck. I would actually like to see how my Psyblades deck wou do against it. thx. just IM me on AIM or PM me.
 
Ok guys...getting a little out of hand...the rudeness stops here.If you can`t discuss this peacefully,I can lock it...

I have noticed some people coming on here(the boards) lately that got back into the swing of things with these last CC`s and prereleases and ignoring the rules and being rude to people.If someone wants to come on here and smart off and act up,this isn`t the board for you.Let`s act within the rules or I WILL hand out bans.

Sorry to sound a little harsh,but the rules will be enforced as they always have.

We have no word in what cards get banned. THe best we can do is make sure Nintendo knows that we want blaziken EX banned. THey will most likely wait for state championships and see if it wins every tournament. THen they will decide. We have no matter on when or if they ban it, because it is there game, and even though some like to get along that we pay for the game, nintendo is still the ones to make the decisions.
 
Thanks you Prime, although it may not be the best solution, it certainly is the most viable option, to show Nintendo how Blaziken ex affected the format, IF it does affect it, U never know...

So, you're willing to sacrifice the state championships to make sure a deck is broken. I think that's waiting too long, The SC's are too important to use as a testing ground for something we already know is broken beyond belief. It will be a major blow to the enviroment when every deck that won was a blaziken ex variation. Players might leave if they can't obtain the cards. The perfect time to decide would be now, before the big tourneys arrive.

Exactly, i couldn't have said it better myself.

Right, and its also such a rare card it gives people with money the huge edge at States. Not cool IMO.

Also as a disclaimer to whoever said what I said to YoungJohn was rude- John is a friend of mine. We hung out together the entire Pre Release and were actually competing over the Blaziken EXes lol. We harass each other about random things, its nothing personal, we are just ribbin each other. Its sad because I would have done the same trades ;)

Thank you lol. :p :p

Sorry for getting out of hand sensei, I'll try and control it.
 
i don't want to sacrifice states! but do u guys really see another option? thats is one viable proposal, Nintendo won't take into consideration a ban until it is proved by facts (i.e tourneys won) that it does win most or all of it's matches, or the CC's are won by direct counters to it! I'm saying 'Yeah let's sacrifice States' I'm making a proposal that seems viable, as to see if it has to be banned SO EARLY!

You know, I'll post this, only because I think this topic is getitng too out of hand with the verbal support on the boards which can be converted into much more for the progress of this topic.

E-Mail Nintendo if you feel like blaziken EX should be banned. Stop posting here and e-mail them. They can do something about it. You should let them know.

Just a friendly reminder.

One mail address to try is [email protected].

Thank you.

I don't think it will be that hard to beat. All you have to do is kill the little squeaker and there will be nothing for it to evolve from. :)

Yeah, but chances are that by the time you can do that, you'll be facing 2 Blaziken and a Ray active ready to dish out damage. These decks are also really, really fast by the way.
 
Don't forget about ninetales from the future set. It has the same pokebody as wobbuffet's. It's helpful in decks like kingdra ex. Blaziken ex alone, imo, is not the strongest stage 2 ex at all. What makes it nearly unstoppable is the RS blaziken. IMO, sceptile ex alone is what I think is the strongest stage 2 ex. Maybe we should ban the use of blaziken ex and r/s blaziken together in one deck.
 
I think it would be too much trouble for Nintendo to make all these rules with Blaziken ex and for tournament people to look through all these deck lists with Blaziken ex. I doubt they are going to ban it, so we just have to deal with it. There are plenty of ways to destroy Blaziken before it evolves and when it is evolved, and it is up to Pokemon Trainers to find out these ways. The deck that I made before EX M/A came out can easily get rid of Torchic and Combusken, and that's not even the main idea of the deck. It's just up to us to put up protection against it.
 
For those who've stated to knock out the pre-evolutions must remember this following.

Torchic - Rare Candy - Blaziken (EX) all on my turn. You don't have a chance to knock it out before it's there.
 
Don't forget double rainbow!

Also, Double Rainbow (turn 1) + Boost (turn 2) = 90 to the bench on turn two. Good luck getting setup against that!
 
Uh, I don't think double rainbow works on ex pokemon. Besides, it really isn't that easy to knock out basics and stage ones anymore, not when there's any decent form of bench damage, nor any form of gust. No warp point doesn't count.
 
Yeah you can;t kill them. ALSO, any card that DOES kill Blaziken EX is water and thus dies to Ampharos or a Rayquaza. Blaziken Rayquaza Ampharos is become PERFECT in that it can cover EVERY aspect. It already could, not it can handle them from the bench making it nigh impossible to win.

And you cant put double rainbow on an EX but u CAN put it as a combusken and evolve to it after wards ;)
 
I agree with Chris, Jermy, and Strike 110%.

What the real problem is, is the fact that Blaziken ex can be set up so easy through Firestarter/and Aqua's Manectric. While the propositions so far are outrageous. Such as banning Firestarter Blaziken and I think that banning Blaziken ex before the set has even officially hit markets is too rash. No, once this blows over, it will be easy to see.

Wait...I agree with Chris, yet think it's too rash to ban Blaziken ex? Am I contradicting myself? Nope. Because I don't agree with banning unless absolutely needed. Blaziken ex WITH THE SUPPORT it has is what ruins the game. What makes Blaziken ex so powerful? I've already said it. The support.

Here's what I propose be done. Errata Aqua's Manectric like it was SUPPOSED TO BE. Switching energy from Aqua to Aqua like the Japanese text, like Magma's Claydol. If you errata Manectric, it takes some away from Blaziken ex. Will Blaziken still be the top deck anyways, absolutely. It was before this card came out. But the most sensible course of action is errata, not banning.

The worst case scenario is that Blaziken ex gets banned. But I think that errata is the key. But I agree with others that nothing will take place till after States. Even if Nintendo or POP wanted to do anything, I doubt there would be proper time. Like Strike says, inform others instead of getting mad, use that energy for good instead of stomping around. It does no good anyways,

Seriously guys, keep the egos (especially you Chris, we all know how good you are) and tempers under check. Debates are good. Flaming/arguements are not. We all love the game and these boards, do nothing you'd regret later. Cooler heads always prevail...give it time.

Right, I forgot about the EX text . :mad: Pshaw new cards! :rolleyes:

I like the idea of errata'ing the regular Blaziken to make the power not stack (once per turn no matter how many you have in play). That weakens all Blaz decks enough to bring them in line with everything else - it's still fast and powerful, but not overpowered.
