@ragimali Lum Aerodactyl and White Herb Garchomp with Stone Edge. If the Charizard you made popular wasn't so bulky, Rock Tomb would work BUT IT WAS

@IsTheBanlistUp Dang, I thought this one was it

@thatguyinabeani Reminds me of this

3-2 I could technically go on a run, but I have some other things I want to do, and I don't want to be stressed out all day because I can't get another loss. Ggs to all my opponents. Lack of prep definitely showed, so I have a lot to work on and improve! :)

He's the judge who spoke out against the Orlando Regionals ruling regarding @Firestar73_ , and was then banned from the Pokémon Professors Discord.

Please share this around the Pokemon community.

@ninopokebros @Wiltank Leech seed, rage powder, flamethrower, protect. Super annoying to deal with because every hit burns no matter if it was a contact move or not. Can be very oppressive if you have a mostly physical team.

[Albert Henderson @AkumaVGC]

@DistantCoder Mtggoldfish is a great resource.

@bailey_abner_ The points required would have to change based on participants/rounds, but it's something to consider. I'm not sure if it needs to change, but there are ways other than making a draw the same as a loss.

[Albert Henderson @AkumaVGC]

@bailey_abner_ Fastest way to kill cedh is 0 point draws. It's an incredibly high powered 4 player game, win rates are always going to be low. There is just too much out of your control. Maybe a point threshold for cut? It promotes going for wins, but it doesn't punish you for a draw

[Albert Henderson @AkumaVGC]

@Treeman69318774 @Bully_Ranger_Ak @BoshNRoll We already have something similar enough in Genesys. Took out certain mechanics and has a separate "banlist". Also, Time Travel sucked, and kills all the old formats. No reason to play Goat or Edison with modern erratas and rules. It's an entirely different format that point.

[Albert Henderson @AkumaVGC]

@knarz_ @joyful_waffle Imagine you have a counter-spell but you are in seat 4. Player 1 can win, and P2 has a win if they untap. So you lose if you counter and if you don't. P1 will lose if you counter and P2/P3 will lose if you don't. In this scenario you can offer a draw and probably it because 1 > 0

[Albert Henderson @AkumaVGC]

@knarz_ @joyful_waffle Cedh draws mostly come from agreements. If turn player is presenting a win, and you can stop it but only in a way that loses you the game, the table may agree to a draw. Because if you don't stop it no one else gets points, so they will likely settle on getting 1 point

[Albert Henderson @AkumaVGC]

@SaffronOlive It just feels like the importance of GCs and brackets becomes diminished if they keep this philosophy. I don't play a ton of cedh, but it just seems silly to not trust the process you have in place for casual games. When I play, brackets and GCs come up, and it helps.

[Albert Henderson @AkumaVGC]

@SaffronOlive Would it be negative for the banlist to be primarily aimed for the health of cedh? Isn't the entire point of the bracket system and rule0 to keep strong cards out of lower brackets? Why would bans cater to the casual base? Card is too strong in casual = GC, too strong cedh = Ban
