I'm so sick of seeing all these threads posted by the exact same guy… On the EXACT SAME TOPIC. WE HAVE GONE OVER THIS. SNORLAX IS NOT THE BDIF.

@Zhula you need friends bud

I don't know how you think this! It's not even that good right now! There's a reason that there are about seven decks in front of it on the most popular deck rankings. Giratina beats it unquestionably. So does Lost Box. Roaring moon also beats it up like crazy. And Mew VMAX— which I know you call cringe but it is not— also can defeat it!

Stallax is not the only stall deck that has ever existed. In 2021 we had Excadrill/Cinccino Control, which was most definitely better (Jessie&James, Lt. Surges Strategy, Reset Stamp, And Chip-Chip Ice Axe are all banned from expanded).

This tells us two things,
1: Strategies revolving around decking someone out have existed for a long time.
2: None of the cards used in the stallax deck are banned from expanded, so stalax is not as effective as past stall decks have been. If you are going to hate on a deck, please make it one that is using cards that are banned.4 -
@emcees I really like that you pointed out that about the banned cards. 5 Cards got banned from that Excadrill deck!
5 -
both of your points are completely irrelevant. snorlax can be the bdif and also have low representation because luckily the top players for the most part are showing some semblance of self respect. and past formats' stall decks have nothing to do with this one and idk why you wasted ur time typing all that

If it's any consolation blocklax was in fact nerfed hard by battle vip pass being rotated out of standard - you'd be stuck with nest ball which means less deck space for tech cards. And the standard deck list with bvp was already inconsistent. No path anymore either, for people who were running that.

Snorlax can be beat, especially by decks like Lugia, ArcTina, Gholdengo or Ancient Box. You just gotta make sure to not bench Pokemon that can't attack against it or other Pokemon that Snorlax stall uses and maybe have a few switch out cards.
