Pokemon TCG

[Ythan]

Groudon ex and it only mills one a turn? Mill so pricey and draw so cheap this is kind of a friendly (the game to the player) game.

My bad HALF a card per turn sigh

[Isis]

Have you seen Alolan muk

[Ythan]

I had not, and I bet you're talking about this one which jumped out at me. I've definitely scanned past loads of trainer cards I could use to recur that every turn too.

[Ythan]

Well maybe not both "loads" and "every turn" but definitely either one.

[Ythan]

The thought of attacking the deck and getting walled by non-items I can't discard gives me Netrunner flashbacks.

[Isis]

Muk would have diminishing returns each time you use it. It's nice that it's not an attack though. The way most people build decks it's average mills would be about 2.

[Ythan]

I think some other form of generalized mill would clear the accumulated gunk and maybe help with the diminishing returns if that makes sense.

[Isis]

muk shuffles the unmilled cards in rather than leaving them on top, so generalized mill will not help with the item/nonitem ratio of the attacked deck.

genearalized mill is probably better than the 4th copy of alolan muk because it's not itself a diminishing return, of course, but there's no special interaction there.

You might be interested in Durant.

[Isis]

that one seems good. a comment on durant mentioned Magmortar which can mill one per fire energy attached to magmortar

I missed that!

I am, and it's flavorful too!

[Ythan]

More efficient than Moltres for sure.

[Dwlee99]

Some
other
Durants
also have discard moves

[Ythan]

I like the bugs eating your deck flavor.

[Isis]

Been listening to podcasts trying to learn more about the game.

Apparently decking people out happens in standard but it's mostly playing 0-1 cards that mill and just making it so your opponent can't hurt you ever

[Isis]

It can depend how strong or serious you want your deck to be there was a time when I just wanted to kill people with Raticate because he required no energy and is hilarious

[Isis]

It seems like you should buy the Durants because they are the funneeist

[Ythan]

He made his own deck and didn't draw a single energy card just filled his bench with Pokemon for me to knock out all at once with Noivern V. I got to draw four prize cards at once! And hopefully afterward was able to convey the importance of energy or at least a way to tutor energy.

The Alolan one? Pretty strong attack, potentially, for no energy, that's fun.

[Isis]

yeah. alolan raticate was funny i played a good 4 matches before i switched to banette and played with -1- energy instead

now what i've been spamming on mtgo attacks with -2- energy i think maybe i dont like high energy attacks haha

[Isis]

i meant ptcgo

>_>
<_<

[Ythan]

Less is more. Not to say that more can't also be more.

[Isis]

i just got this on ptcgo, also have a few durants

you can run like 8 double colorless energy per deck in standard right now i think, but 70 hp is still a bit yikes
