RIP Durant (after Spring Regionals)

Please do not give me the arduous task of giving an objective definition to something so subjective as "good".

It's subjective, your own definition is as good as anyone's, so why ask me?

Sorry, just getting sick of people knocking decks I meant no disrespect
 
I've experienced the Driftblim setup recently. It works well, but again, against quickly set up decks, it only works in the right scenario.

What you view as the 'truth' does not equal a helpful post, even if it is true. I can say true statements all day and I won't help one person out in testing against durant.

Strawberry is a berry.
Tomato is a fruit.
Durant is modeled after the common ant.
Pizza is a vegetable.
 
Why does everyone assume that when making a deck all of the cards in the deck should be used against every matchup? The idea of a tech is so that you only have to use it against a certain matchup and therefore shouldn't be played down every game. Durant doesn't need to use Drifblim in every matchup all the time, against most decks there's little point. That's like saying you shouldn't use Zekrom in ZPST because sometimes your opponent plays fighting decks.
 
If you are playing someone that is playing Durant, which is a deck now, but it's not popular enough even now to play it. Nice VS Durant Deck though.
 
durrant runs black belt so if you have only 1 zekrom in play and you bolt twice... GG oh and durrant is a very good deck... ive seen some crushing hammer flips destroy decks
 
Heatmor gives trainer lock deck a chance, assuming any of them can survive Mewtwo EX - e.g. Gothitelle. People will still play Durant. Some people will always love their giant metal ants no matter what.

How about it wins most of the time and it OWNS The Truth decks. I would say that makes a deck good.

Congrats, you can beat the Truth! That... one guy.. still playing the Truth..

You can't argue that Durant is the most luck-based deck in the format. Sure, it beats things, but that is dependent on so many things; coin flips, opening hand, prizes, and most of all, opponent's playing ability. It also loses to things, very badly, like Fire and ZPST. Why would you play a deck that loses to (almost) half the field? No hate on the deck, I think its fun, if not clever, but very gimmicky.

I'm glad you said it. The Opening hand. If it's Rotom or Driftloon, they're played down by force which hurt your chances of winning with Durant. Especially if I am familiar with how to play against Durant and therefor did NOT tech in a Heatmor for it. I stand by the fact that it's a waste of deck space and a wasted tech. I don't view Durant as a metagame worthy deck. I view it more as a pest kind of deck that I'd likely play in the first round or two and it feeds off of unaware players or slower paced decks. I have decks that win championships to tech against; Durant isn't one of them.

You tech against decks that win cities that include Durant but aren't Durant? k.

What this card does is discourage Durant play more so than counter it. Why would you play an already luck reliant deck when someone can search this thing out and end your day? If Durant would remain popular (which couldve happend as it does well enough vs Mewtwo) this card just kicks it int he rear a little harder.

Durant is far from luck if you have a good list.
 
I think R.I.P is not the right title for this. R.I.P should be used when there's a rotation.

Besides, I doubt this will happen.
