    @Silentsiren0 I’m not sure if the second comment was addressed to me, but I definitely would say it’s good to have fun and game balance. Ability decks are certainly very powerful right now; I definitely wouldn’t mind a PttP reprint. But I don’t think it’s fair to degrade the entirety of the card game based on Live’s performance, because obviously in-game events are unaffected.

    @Tmagician0 the TCG is not dying; why do you say that? Recently, tournaments have been larger than ever before; it seems like every single internationals hosted breaks the record. Worlds is expected to be absolutely enormous this year. Also, if you hate stall so much that you would be willing to quit the game because of it, then just play like eight switching cards, or Gengar PAF. Easy auto-win whenever you hit stall.

    @OlderAngel11 @Octowen clearly you are casual players who don't play often enough to experience the issues, because you just don't seem to get it. more than half of all games end due to one or both players disconnecting due to slight dips in connection. the card game is considered slow as is, and now stall exists dragging the game out even longer. the game balance itself is optional with most decks having no counter-play other than just being ready faster, WHICH IN MOST CASES ISN'T POSSIBLE!

    Game freak (or whatever company in charge of the card game now) has clearly dropped the ball on the fundamentals of the game space, and apparently don't seem to care. You can call it a skill issue all you want. Can't get better if the games broken and the people in charge aren't fixing it.

    “Either your wrong or they both only play irl tcg”

    OR you’re wrong, @Silentsiren0. Don’t set up a false dilemma.

    And let’s back up to your statement that the card game is considered slow as-is, @Silentsiren0. Are you saying in comparison to other TCGs? If so, which ones? Or are you saying compared to the past of the Pokémon TCG?
