Stalling out a game

is stalling a strategy or just an annoying tactic to prevent your opponent from winning?

Ran @Hades0918 overpowered deck against a dark type mega deck (gengar, absol, and sharpedo)

When I swept the guy's absol and sharpedo with mega venusaur…I'm hit with 2 boss's orders, Xerosic's machinations, and then a bunch of baby pokemon which prevented me from drawing anything because Mega Gengar was in play and its ability is to prevent the opponent from drawing 1 card from their rewards pile

Is this the depth of the player base now? Where stalling out a game is a thing?

    I don't know how I feel about the stalling decks

    I feel like stalling is fine when it's not the whole strategy

    You're not getting the cards you need so you cause chaos for the enemy until you do

    That's fine

    But when the whole deck is made to toy with the enemy I feel like it's smart but at the same time it's not fun

    You're just being a pain

    That is just my opinion, though

    I agree, its annoying when that is the main strategy to win. Just stall an drag the match out until you cant draw anymore cards. Use to hate some of the older builds players would use. Keep switching you active an removing energy an prevent retreat. The worst to get stuck playing against. Very long an boring. I dont see how either player has any fun. But just my opinion on it.
