The Deck That Pokemon Themselves Couldn't Stop.

[@liamsmusic8708]

As soon as I head the company hated it. They literally printed 3 DIRECT counters to the deck, 1 being one of the strongest decks in a while, and mew VMAX was STILL out there winning tournaments

[@BurtsPTCG]

The fact drapion and tomb existed was wild and mew still one worlds is mad

[@ExpertJewel]

@@BurtsPTCG Same can be said for lost box currently. Just because the deck was playable with counters does not necessarily mean it was ridiculously broken. Lost Box just topped a regional even though Kyurem exists which is a die hard counter to lost box. The same went for Mew Vmax. If someone really wanted to beat Mew Vmax all they had to do was in tech in a Drapion and they were gonna beat Mew almost every time. Also the statement that a deck that’s good the whole time it’s in rotation isn’t really valid anymore. Lost box has been good ever since introduced, and Charizard is looking to be that way. So overall I stand to say that Mew Vmax was not half as broken as people act like it was just because they lost to it

[@kirbstagoontheaxolotl]

I legitimately was so fed up with Mew VMAX while trying to just make fun decks, I decided to bite the bullet and make a Perrserker V deck, which would wall most V using decks out (Duraladon was the exception and even then it had techs for stuff like Miltank in Crobat BST) by using Hisuian Goodra's ability Mew VMAX being able to attack with it's non-v attackers was something annoying

the dramatic irony of when mew vmax started running path is insane. It literally absorbed the one thing that people ran to counter it flipped it around to it's advantage.

Meanwhile in 2000, Trapper Combo turbo was such cancer that tournaments were starting to run 15-3 format just so people couldn't play it anymore.

[@BurtsPTCG]

Talk to me about trapper👀

[@TrollOmnipotence]

Don't forget about Sneasel slowking which prevented people to play trainers while you did avg 70 to 80 per turn in a max 120HP era. Trap combo basically was emplopying the combination of Imposter prof oak and Rockets sneak attack from the team rocket expansion and then rocket's trap from the second gyms expansion. Impostor oak reduced your hand to 4 cards. Rockets sneak attack showed opponents hand and if there was a trainer you would select it and shuffle into the deck ( very likely in a trainer heavy meta) now the opponent has 3 cards then you played the rocket's trap and if the coin flip was heads, you basically shuffled the entire hand into the opponent's deck leaving them to the mercy of top decking. Very strong shutdown strategy.

[@BurtsPTCG]

Ohh i see, I am familiar with that I didn't know it was reffered to as trapper. Yeah that time looked awful to play 😭

[@TheLordTash]

@@TrollOmnipotence Sneasel Slowking also existed during the era of Focus Babies. You had to flip a coin to do ANYTHING to them, then flip another coin to see if Focus Band saved them. So games often came down to two Cleffa screaming at each other until someone managed to set up. And it was usually whoever was playing Slowking. What an awful couple of formats that was. Between that and people losing interest in Pokemon in general around that time, it was probably the closest the TCG ever came to dying. Japan even tried to salvage it with a reboot that simplified the rules, but the western division just outright refused to print it (which was probably a big reason Nintendo wasn't willing to cut any sort of deal with Wizards of the Coast when their license expired).

Yes, Fusion Strike Mew VMAX was indeed a thing to be hated. Receiving all buffs and nearly no drawbacks in a single set, beefed up to its extremes since day 0. I have invested TONS of booster packs online (which were dirty cheap anyways) to assemble a full art version of this deck (yeah, my kink), with initial intent to know how to battle AGAINST it by playing it a bit more... Then, weeks later, I caught myself smoothly navigating with it across the ladder, some in-game tournaments - with all the loathing, I found it to be a convenient deck which rewarded players with good sequencing skills. Both DTE and Elesa builds (as well as hybrids and wonky ones, such us Path To The Peak/Bibarel) were awesome, and I even bought two WC decks - one with Arceus VSTAR and Flying Pikachu, and Shape Of Mew, just to have a pleasure of showing my aspiring TCG player daughter what it felt like when two unstoppable powers clashed in the same, most top ranked event. I dearly miss this deck, but I am also glad that this format is free from this toxicity. I have always believed Mew to be toxic, but I still played it - because you do not give up on an efficient deck because of its reputation. I strongly believe that I will dive into Expanded to see Mew VMAX strong in my hands again.

So this was the deck that got me back in the game. I'm serious. The Mew VMAX League Battle Deck was on a retail shelf somewhere and I looked into it. I quit playing with the advent of Tag Teams just causing way too much powercreep and making it almost impossible to make a competitive deck. Then 3 years later, here's a deck that's almost ready for competitive play right out of the box! It was great playing on ranked with this when it lasted. Though Charizard ex from Obsidian Flames just crushed this deck's viability even with the many ways you could work around Charizard with Path to the Peak and Eiscue bench sniping. It's funny I say this because I play Charizard and Gardevoir now but that's a different story. I'll admit that the draw support for this deck was insane, but it felt manageable to work around it with special energy removal and Path to the Peak shutting them down early.

Spiritomb was actually such a disgusting release it's insane. They often have this mania of releasing more broken cards to beat decks they don't want to be good anymore. Reminds me of their relationship with night march. Maybe you could talk about all the damage that was done during XY era just to try and stop night march from being a viable deck in a future video, because that's another example of them releasing absolutely disgusting cards just to counter 1 archetype and it not being successful. On top of that the only results being had are worsening the format itself.

I eventually came back and tried to get in to it with one of the Plasma sets, Freeze, I think. I immediately quit again after that set. The power creep was ridiculous in the game and it turned me off of it just as fast as WotLK did for me in WoW. I just stick to playing casual games with Pre-Legends Set only. I find that way more fun than modern Pokemon.

Aww fair enough! The judge was nice to you then :p

[@samuelyee4017]

@@BurtsPTCGwell, i’d say that his intention to disrupt my hand was not wrong but it’s the matter of luck

[@BurtsPTCG]

@samuelyee4017 exactly that!

[@shangov9639]

my favorite deck ever

[@BurtsPTCG]

One of mine too 😂🙏

[@Parelilly]

I’m assuming it’s ADPZ it was so hard to beat in expanded I played Anti-Meta and stalled lol

[@BurtsPTCG]

I will cover adp soon for sure 👀

[@akiradkcn]

I wonder if it was bad as Ishuzu Tear was in yugioh

[@BurtsPTCG]

My limited yugioh knowledge doesn't go that far unfortunately 😅😭

[@richardcrafton1805]

I was expecting to learn about sableye donk

[@BurtsPTCG]

They did stop that though didn't they 👀🤣

[@rockytrh]

I thought for sure this was going to be about ADP. But Mew VMAX also a yuk. I don't have a problem with a high power deck, but I do when that deck is everywhere from the day it's printed to the day it's rotated. It's just boring.

[@BurtsPTCG]

It was super popular yeah 😭

[@herrar6595]

Nah, chipaxe, adp, vileploom and such were much less positively recieved. Personally I think mew had a good influence on the game overall, contrary to the likes of lugias hayday or even bolt today

[@BurtsPTCG]

Lugia silver tempest was a madness 😭

[@snomgangscorch9557]

Are we just going to ignore expanded regidrago vatar?

[@BurtsPTCG]

What about it? 👀

[@snomgangscorch9557]

@ In short: It’s been a top deck in expanded ever since it came out, along with lugia. It’s been the gatekeeper of the format. As long as good dragon pokemon keep getting released drago will only continue to get better.

[@premejon8300]

Yall clearly never played vs Slowking Sneasel back in the day cause I’ll take ADP or Mew or even Mewtwo EX wars over that shit again

[@BurtsPTCG]

Tbf Slowking was just on another level like for real 🤣

[@Whalordius]

Mew vmax was the stupidest shit ever because most decks were already too slow as it was from rotation. Mew basically was a Yu-Gi-Oh deck in a game that was meant to be slower. I remember in expanded i played an eternatus V turbo deck and even then, it was STILL slower than mew on build up because eternatus could still fucking brick. Mew, though, never fucking DID

[@BurtsPTCG]

Yeah bopping eternarus wasn't that hard as mew which was wild 😭

[@Whalordius]

@BurtsPTCG thankfully the expanded variant i made was strong enough to nuke every single deck at the time. (If we wanna talk ygo decks, that deck could build 2 eternatus vmax and have all your energy allotted with like maybe 10 cards left in your deck by the time the combo was over, in one turn. All energy accelerated, full bench of darks.) The same could not be said for standard. I remember selling the eternatus for hella packs on ptcgl before roto hit to basically murder the deck in standard. Basically exclusively played coalossal for a while after that until RSU became dirt cheap. I still remember that eternatus deck in expanded though. I think i had a 78 game winstreak or some stupid shit and cleared ladder in a single day multiple ladders straight.

[@ziggyhfx8202]

I got into ptcg during late swsh and mew vmax & lugia vstar made me immediately hate the game

[@BurtsPTCG]

Lugia will be getting covered soon 👀

[@thesongofthelinnet]

whats with the silent hill and dark souls background music?

[@BurtsPTCG]

I like them? 👀😅

[@thesongofthelinnet]

@@BurtsPTCG I like them too, just was not expecting Dark souls 1 or I think silent hill 3 soundtrack on a pokemon trading card game video

[@BurtsPTCG]

@thesongofthelinnet haha I get you! :p I just take sound effects or tracks from games I like and fun easter eggs for people who like them too :p

[@thefinalskarm1754]

20:40 anime blonde mans charizard is also tera dark.

[@BurtsPTCG]

What blonde man? 👀

[@rockervenegas1550]

Good Riddance Mew Vmax

[@BurtsPTCG]

😂😅

[@naturalharmoniagropius4486]

ADP was a balanced card, idk why ppl hate it

[@Casteleio_Typhon]

Attack 2:[M+] Altered Creation GX For the rest of this game, your Pokemon's attacks do 30 more damage to your opponent's Active Pokemon (before applying Weakness and Resistance). If this Pokemon has at least 1 extra Water Energy attached to it (in addition to this attack's cost), when your opponent's Active Pokemon is Knocked Out by damage from those attacks, take 1 more Prize card. IN WHAT WAY IS THAT BALANCED????

[@naturalharmoniagropius4486]

@zachburghdoff I mean it can be exploitable turn 1 going second

[@Casteleio_Typhon]

@@naturalharmoniagropius4486 a permanent +30 damage on top of any other buffs is still insane. Zacian ADP was a nightmare to play against bc it could easily hit for 250+ and be charged up in 1 turn.

[@RuggedRing]

It invalidated single prize decks because you only needed 3 KO to win.

[@vala32]

Would rather play against this than Snorlax...

[@BurtsPTCG]

Fair enough! I'm sure a lot of people think that too :p
