Why do I keep getting counter decked? I'll constantly face 4 or 5 miraidon in a row with lugia. As soon as I swap decks I never face them again. Swap to lost zone, verse chien pao or rapid strike. If I use miraidon I'll face nothing but lost box. And this is on many occasions. Getting ridiculous.

    Those are all popular decks to use so it's probably just a matter of having comically bad luck. The matchmaking on live is pretry rudimentary so I doubt it's handing you hard counters on purpose. A murphy's law phenomenon, maybe.

    Just stop playing the game if you're so sure it's rigged against you.

    Oh wow how did I not think of that. If you have nothing impactful to offer why bother commenting.
