[colegoree]

you should do durant vs eelzone! :D

[PinkMistful]

Sorry to be a pain, but would you mind PMing me the Durant decklist :P



[TCGZapdos]

@PinkMistful Well I suggest you check out Episode 30...There you can find all the decklists of all the popular decks at the moment..

[PinkMistful]

@TCGZapdos

Awesome :)

Thanks

[PinkMistful]

Decklist for Machamp Player?

[TCGZapdos]

@PinkMistful Sorry, I don't have that...My opponent has that decklist & i'll ask him when I see him...

Can you post a deck list for don champ w/ dragons? Or direct me to where I can find one? awesome video man! Great battle and excellent analysis and commentary! Keep it coming!

[TCGZapdos]

@MoreThanLuck Well I don't have that decklist anymore so I can't really give it to you ..It's because my opponent was playing with this deck...But I do have all the decklists of the ones I played with... & Thnx, I'm glad you like it... I'll try to save the decklists from now on ;)

[MoreThanLuck]

@TCGZapdos Thanks! If you could post them in the description that would be great. Also, where'd you play this game?

[TCGZapdos]

@MoreThanLuck Sure, that's a great idea! & all the matches have been recorded at my house. It would be great having some recorded material of tournaments though..

[MoreThanLuck]

@TCGZapdos Who'd you play against in this match?

[TCGZapdos]

@MoreThanLuck One of my friends..He always plays in the weekly battle vids. :)

[MoreThanLuck]

@TCGZapdos Would you mind asking him about this deck whenever you get a chance? I'm really interested in it. Thanks man, I'm subbing!

[TCGZapdos]

@MoreThanLuck Sure I'll ask him, if he still has that decklist & Thnx! ;)

[MoreThanLuck]

@TCGZapdos When you get an answer if you could either post it in the comments or PM that'd be great!

[JaMangAnime1]

Do you play Pichus or have you considered them in the Durant deck ?

[TCGZapdos]

@JaMangAnime1 Nah, in these decks there were no Pichus...I only put in Pichus in decks where the Pokemon have really low hp, like The Truth (Ross's Deck)..

[JaMangAnime1]

@TCGZapdos m'kay dude.

[DeadLotus93]

Interesting decks, lol BTW, how much does say, TZPS or DonChamp costs to build? I really wanna play, haha

[TCGZapdos]

@DeadLotus93 Well it all depends on which Pokemon & supporters you're running..But you can always look up some prices of certain cards...I think DonChamp doesn't cost that much since you can get machamp prime in a collectors box...So try to get those cards by buying collectors boxes or tins (for zekrom).. ;)

[pokemontrader1231]

hey tcg zapdos,

what bout adding an archeops lock

[TCGZapdos]

@pokemontrader1231 Well Archeops also has a downside meaning, you can't evolve your Pokemon as well...So you have to make sure you have your Evolved Pokemon out first..& That will slow it down...So I don't think that will work, But you can always try :)

[ChaosXmarth]

What is that donchamp player doing...

[TCGZapdos]

@ChaosXmarth Yeah I know...He just got into the game a couple of months ago so he isn't a top player yet xD ...

[ChaosXmarth]

@TCGZapdos Ah makes sense.

[XsXergelX]

Wow, does the Machamp player not know what "Fighting Tag" does? Rainobw counts as a fighting energy.

[TCGZapdos]

@XsXergelX Heh, I guess not :P

[CripBayne]

The Machamp player shouldn't have benched anything besides Machop, and definitively shouldn't have evolved all of his Pokemon.

[TCGZapdos]

@CripBayne Well this deck also runs on using Machamp's Poké-Power to switch....But unfortunately he didn't drew the fighting energies in time :P ....Also it's nice to use Machamp's Poké-Power to switch around a Pokemon that's asleep ..But yeah, I wouldn't have put more Pokemon on the bench as well, so you're part right ;)

[RotomOverHeatz]

You should put a reuniclus ability.

[DarkusCollectoroid]

I love how at the start there is a vs and all the pokemon on the other side look pwnedge and there is 3 weak looking pokemon on the other side and then they win lol

[TCGZapdos]

@DarkusCollectoroid Hah, you're right...Most people would think that the other deck would win..But never underestimate the tiny ants :P

[TCGZapdos]

@TheRipricardo Yeah it's a bit more consistent since Donphan is only a stage 1...& you're right, Durant can be really good with the help of Eviolite, Defender, Special Metal Energy, ... :)

[iMatous]

Nice battle man :)

[TCGZapdos]

@iMatous Thanks!

[NSproductionz14]

This deck almost seems annoying haha ;)

[TCGZapdos]

@NSproductionz14 Hah, It's annoying for your opponent but not for you :P

[Samzilla33]

thanks for trying out my deck. but i can't argue that durant is an awesome deck. I'm thinking of trying it out in the January cities. but i still need a few more durants to try it out.

[TCGZapdos]

@Samzilla33 No Problem..& yeah it's nice to test out new decks!

[Samzilla33]

@TCGZapdos lol. the funny thing is that at league today. my friend was saying that he had finally beaten a machamp reuniclus deck (he beat me) and i was like "no one uses this deck, what do you mean by finally beaten?" and he said that he had seen it on your video XD.

[TCGZapdos]

@Samzilla33 Hah, that is indeed pretty funny xD ..& I'm glad to hear that actually! (not that you lost), but the fact that he saw it in my vid. :)

[CharizardG101]

This episode is not as exting maybe try the machamp and wdragons with tzdps deck that would be agreat vid i wiuld deiftly fav and like :)

[TCGZapdos]

@CharizardG101 This isn't an actual episode (The episode will be up tomorrow)...But yeah, i'll put that battle in my suggestion list...

[PikaCirculator]

WOW... thats pretty funny and cool :)

Volcachu

[TCGZapdos]

@PikaCirculator Thnx, It sure is!

[rastapaul23]

I think Durant is going to be a big impact in the meta game going into cities.

[TCGZapdos]

@rastapaul23 Jup, It already won Regionals in France...And more & more people will start to play it..So there's a big chance you'll find a lot of these insects in an upcoming tournament..

[cf11basketball]

thanks for using d and d

[capreo84v2]

how does the dice role work? I'm still using coins and damage counters.. XD

but you rolled 2 dice for the dual ball. do you have to get a certain number or something?

[TCGZapdos]

@capreo84v2 Well it's very easy to explain: "The dice just replace the coins" ...The even numbers count as head & the uneven numbers count as tails... & with dual ball you have to flip twice, which means: I roll two dice :)

[RylovPokemon]

awsome

[TCGZapdos]

@RylovPokemon Thanks!

[Hobbyboy100]

Watch in transcribe audio :P

[TCGZapdos]

@Hobbyboy100 Hah, that's pretty funny indeed xD ..They really need to work on that..

[Charicards]

Any reason you got a Catcher vs his Donchamp deck with Twins? Wouldn't there be a high chance of him using Fighting Tag?

[TCGZapdos]

@Charicards Yeah I know..But that's a risk you've got to take..Since defender & eviolite are pretty much useless against Machamp..So there was no need, to get out those :P

[CuttingEdge3078]

awesome battle man!!

[TCGZapdos]

@CuttingEdge3078 Thnx!

[BZrex5000]

i love your battle vids and the intro.Both decks are great but i think durant deck out deck will be a little more succesful deck only if your opponent has a bad hand wich will be easy once you start taking out his/her deck

[TCGZapdos]

@BZrex5000 Thanks man! & Yeah, I know..If you abuse catcher too stall & playing cards like Team Rocket's Trickery to disrupt your opponent's hand, you'll be able to last longer with your Durants & it'll be easier to win..You have to be careful if your opponent is able to set up though..

[BZrex5000]

@TCGZapdos yeah true i have seen a ouple people use durant against elektrik and it did REALLY well
