    @Nickalooose1 Not many of the statements you made are true. How in the world are Zard, Moon, Tina, and Baxcalibur, noob decks? The decks you listed are some of the hardest decks to play with in the game! If you're talking about easy decks, then Mew VMAX is the deck you should be speaking of, but I don't think that's what you're talking about. If you're talking about how most of the player base uses only the top decks, then that is a whole other matter entirely. That is what we call a meta. It is players all playing the strongest deck, because IT IS WHAT WINS. I will never be able to fathom why players complain about these idiotic things.

    personally i wouldn't consider mew vmax a noob deck either because there's a learning curve in when you should cull cards in your hand vs when you shouldn't, but decks like roaring moon and any baxcalibur deck and *lost zone* decks intrinsically require paying attention to what you're doing. I cannot for the life of me imagine a brand new player to the game utilizing lost box. If anything i see more of people trying to make girarina work with arcbox and it often simply does not work.

    i know most of those "noob" decks listed were available for free via battle passes but that doesn't make them inherently gamebreaking - most of them are barely usable in their default state and you have to sink credits to bring them up to par. Which generally means you already have a functional deck that you're using to grind the battle pass.

    I'm not saying that Mew VMAX is a noob deck, I'm saying it's pretty easy to play. Yes, I know that there are intricacies to the deck and hard choices to be made, but I can't think of a strong deck— other than maybe Arceus— that is more straigthforward.

    @OlderAngel11 it's not meta, it's overused, get it right!

    If majority of player base is using them, that makes them OVERUSED lol.

    I beat them on the regular, so does that mean my deck is meta, no, my deck is a counter to them, and that makes a deck, not meta, because meta generally means it's unbeatable... Which those noob decks are definitely beatable.

    You can try and defend these decks, but it still doesn't mean they aren't... "cringe"... As this person says, come on now

    @Nickalooose1 I googled "define Pokemon Tcg meta" and it gave me this:

    In popular trading card games, such as Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon Trading Card Game, or Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game players compete with decks they have created in advance and the meta consists of the deck types that are currently popular and expected to show up in large numbers in a tournament.

    "Overused" is a relative term. I would argue that these decks aren't overused, and we actually have a very wide meta at the moment, with plenty of solid decks to choose from and with rogue decks being able to compete well. You are essentially taking "meta" to mean "overused" and that is an incorrect statement.

    @OlderAngel11 soooo, deck types that are currently popular, will more than likely, show up in large numbers at tournaments... Therefore, making it what?! Over... And... Used... Right?

    You know, I've played many games where something is meta, Fifa, the ball shift, impossible to tackle and can gain great speed doing... Warzone, DMR, 3 shots, dead, not even breaking armor, just down or dead, game over... I could go on, but Meta decks in TCG clearly means, overused, they are very much, easily beaten, unlike the aforementioned metas... Build your own deck, be brave, don't defend these boring overused decks and most importantly, don't break the law, do well in school and don't eat yellow snow
