Hello Pokemaniacs,
With Aerodactyl (Majestic Dawn) on the rise, and the threat of Cessation Crystal always looming to put our beloved Claydol’s Comic Power out of commission, made me think:what would be a good consistent replacement for Claydol? Personally, and depending on the Pokemon line of the deck, I think a good replacement for Claydol would be upping the count on key drawing supporter cards like Copy Cat, and maybe introducing Professor Oak’s Visit into the deck. These supporters still provide you with an abundant amount of cards without the hassle of setting up Claydol or worrying about cards that will harm him. Other helpful cards, but non-supporters like Master Ball, adds to the speed of the deck. Claydol will remain a vital draw card to most current decks by providing a “draw engine” every turn, but let’s not forget with Claydol on the field, you can never lose Wager—in theory. I started to think of replacements for Claydol because I believe there might be a better alternative of drawing cards each turn. And the fact that there will be decks looking to exploit our bench filling hero—who has been a reliable draw card since his release—has encouraged me to look for a substitute. Positive or negative, I would like to hear your opinion.
Spread the love,
