    It actually happened

    Was running my Team Rocket deck…opening hand…no pokemon, I have to mulligan

    new hand…only my single Fezendipity EX to play

    first draw…a trainer card I can't use at the time

    2nd draw…another trainer card I can't use

    And that's not all, was running your EX counter deck @Hades0918 and the game shuffled ALL of my crustles into my rewards pile…I couldn't actually use Dwebble's Ascension to evolve it

    to any that say luck doesn't decide victories in this game, I beg to differ

    The game has patterns that tell us it's rigged and I can't be convinced otherwise

    I will concede , whats the point in playing out a match that i have no chance of winning. Waste my time throwing basic pokemon out onto the board so my opponent can just keep picking them off. And if you need to get some of your smaller basics out there so you can evolve them and stand a chance an they just pick them off before you can. Not sorry, i concede an start new.

    I dont care how good a player is an how many matches they have played an won. None of it matters.

    @Zerofo3384 is right, take some mulligans an then get a small basic pokemon to put in the active and even one for the bench. An get some energies an lets say night stretcher an energy retrieval. What you going to do with that?? And then the other player gets their pokemon down an has options an starts building up right away an attacking. Your done! Make it a couple more turns , but ultimately your going to lose.

    Theres alot of matches that the coin toss determines who will win. I dont care how good your deck an skills are!

    @Perfect_Jab

    Was actually showing Hades0918 my new control deck yesterday in friendly games…they saw how bad the shuffeling mechanic is when I was unable to draw any of my search cards, they had their entire board set while I had 2-3 pokemon and a hand of cards that couldn't help me

    it's wild how utterly broken the shuffeling is

    @Zerofo3384 i believe you bro. Its extremely fustrating. Theres cards that i stopped using in my decks because i feel like i never pull them an get to use them. Or it will be dealt to me constantly to start with. Another thing i notice an is funny to me, is the meta decks that they give you always seem to get dealt these perfect hands. Big reason i hate charizard so much. Deck ALWAYS seems to get dealt rare candy an boom 2nd set up and knocking out everything.

    An just gets worse , make overpowered decks even more overpowered. Ace spec crystal so need less energy to attack. Add trainers that allow them to take extra prize cards. Makes playing new mega ex cards a big risk.

    All these things just kill the game for me. I dont enjoy it as much anymore. I play to kill some time an get some good matches here an there. But i dont see any of it getting better any time soon, so probably will play less an then not at all.

    I want to add to the pre-built deck thing

    What really irritates me is that even if you try to throw them off their game, they still get the cards they need!

    I use to always use Iono because if my opponent got what they needed, like with the Dark Charizard getting a Rare Candy, I could just shuffle it away before they could use it

    But even after using Iono it seems like they still get all their needed cards from the re-draw

    It just doesn't do anything

    The only card that I've seen that just slightly throws them off is the X guy that makes your opponent discard until they only have three cards

    If they already have a Rare Candy and Dark Charizard then it doesn't do anything, but usually, when they don't have them but have cards that could set it up it can mess them up

    The only issue with that card is I can go the whole game and somehow only draw one of it in mid to end game even though I have four in my deck

    It literally doesn't let me use it

    @Hades0918 ha! Funny you said that, becuz i added him to my deck to disrupt their hand. And i stopped using iono, mainly becuz the other players use it over an over. And it always takes a decent hand, when i finally get one an gives me a bunch of nothing. An gives them all the cards they need. Just get disgusted with it all. I sometimes throw in a pokemon to prevent them from using items. But still doesnt stop them from evolving.

    I just made a post about hating charizard decks. Relaxing after work an played 5 matches, everyone was against charizard!! And every match played exactly the same!! Second turn, boom rare candies, evolve an energy to all their bench and then out comes boss orders an knock out my main pokemon or just whatever i had to start with. Like come on! I have yet to play any deck that gets dealt hands like that constantly.
