No enjoyment!!!

The amount of players running charizard is just ruining this game for me. I get it an bring on the hate an negative comments. But just voicing my opinion. Just so tired of going against this deck. Its so lame. An feels like every time i face this deck the match always plays in favor to it. ALWAYS!! Always 2nd turn rare candies an evolve an attack. Like every card they need is always there for them. Im NOT saying i cant defeat this deck or need pointers!! I have built decks that are set up just like zards. Pidgey an rare candies, but never seems to play the same way. I have used zard too, an its funny to me how it just always seems to give me the cards i need. I have no fun using the deck so i dont. An i mostly choose to just immediately quit matches against zard. Just dont understand why casual play is so flooded with this deck!! Like EVERYBODY knows its a strong well built deck. I dont know, maybe its just me. I like trying different decks an builds. An enjoy going up against different decks.

    This is not something new, several times a deck gets so dominate or relativity easy to play/win that most people will play it, I'm not saying the deck it's broken or anything like that, it's actually not too hard to beat it. But TCG Live makes it even worse because it was mostly given away for free so virtually anyone have access to it.

    Doesn't help that the meta has been in a boring state for while (many months), very few new decks were able to be competitive enough to be played regularly.

    Also some players are so used to it that they don't even try to play anything else… lol I remember in the dawn of TCG Live, everyone was playing the "Lugia + Blissey deck" because was given for free and was easy to play/win, even long after the deck wasn't even that good a lot of people were still playing it, maybe something similar will happen with Charizard since so many people are fixated on it… yes it's still a great deck but not the best, I don't even play it for ages.

    I've been having good luck against the Charizard deck with the Miradon EX deluxe deck. But even when I win against it, it is kinda annoying always going against Charizard. Hopefully with the new surging sparks Pikachu with that 300 damage attack the Charizard deck will start to fade.

    Even in PTCGO the Charizard decks were the go to it seems.

    the only consistent way to counter dark charizard ex is tm ogerpon ex, it will 1 shot a charizard since with a x2 weakness it does 360 damage as long as your opponents charizard is powered up with 2 energies. I remember a few formats ago (like temporal forces) there was no consistent counter to charizard ex, so things are much better now adays!
