Trump Card ban and Erratas

[homeofmew]

I think Lysandre's Trump card might have profited from a "you can no play trainers after you play this card" text.
However we'd fall into issues where be people may not be able to reverse their actions, like, ultra ball, shaymin, ect.

I still maintain that fundamentally, where you land on the LTC debate is not objective. LTC creates a game scenario that is only worse than a no LTC metagame if you think it is. Personally, I dislike the meta with no LTC. Whereas you may love it. TCPi apparently hate it for making the 3 games in 50 minutes look a little silly, and removing a win condition (which are the only two valid complaints).

The post LTC ban metagame has some interesting decks pop-up, but they're all Rogues. Diversity in competitive decks will go down. More decks will be created, but less varieties of decks will win tournaments.

I'm for the ban on LTC for the health of the game but LTC is a card I never really abused in ways others do since my decks play style tend to be more conservative than the more popular resource disrespect. Whether or not LTC was banned, it would not affect my deck choice and the way I build it. I think I'm pretty objective when it comes to the LTC ban and all that happens is players have to build better deck.

I do think Night March is something to be worried about so hopefully we can see some cards in the future to deal with it.

The main thing is that banning LTC curbed Seismitoad by quite a bit since the Hammerspam LTC Toad deck was starting to gain way too much traction, even in Japan whose metagame generally abhors decks like that.
