@pokkiedotz GGs bro. I was the Enel-less Enel in R2 🥹

[Joshua Rakesh @JoshKesh91]

@TwoThirdz Congrats bro!

[Joshua Rakesh @JoshKesh91]

@TienKhai7 Congrats bro!

[Joshua Rakesh @JoshKesh91]

@KingGeorgeCeo @SQ_OPTCG Oh I see my bad then! Yes I definitely didn't cook that part haha. But yeah its been great seeing all the variations. Definitely refreshing in comparison to the copy paste 50 we've had with most decks in previous metas.

[Joshua Rakesh @JoshKesh91]

@KingGeorgeCeo @SQ_OPTCG Actually I think I was the first to bring out Senor Pink and achieve a Luffy Serial win with it. Not sure who came up with Franky but it's a great tech too. The list and meta has evolved so much since the beginning so let's just enjoy and appreciate all the new variations 😁

[Joshua Rakesh @JoshKesh91]

@SQ_OPTCG Who invented Franky + Senor pink build bro be for real. It’s not Jeremy..

But yes revolutionized is correct word. Nobody in SEA was playing either Franky or pink. We cooked it. It’s ok to admit sometimes other Regions find stuff u don’t. There’s many lists I’ve taken from Asia

[Joshua Rakesh @JoshKesh91]

@TienKhai7 Haha I've been playing it since day 1! Super good card.

[Joshua Rakesh @JoshKesh91]

@ikailakai Hope everything goes well for you! Your content is always insightful and entertaining 😄

Most Enels adopting Varie and Reiju have scared off most of the green decks that appeared to counter them. Hence Porche + Holy is back!

@SKYE_TCG Senior Pink best card!

[Joshua Rakesh @JoshKesh91]

@sormiltcg You're welcome 😉

[Joshua Rakesh @JoshKesh91]

@KingGeorgeCeo @HulkS14095 @vincaruttv @ikailakai Senor Pink is a good card for sure 🤭

[Joshua Rakesh @JoshKesh91]

@james0606 Yes definitely. I often used Senor Pink to go for game by picking up an event I need to rest/KO blockers. Enel u usually just need 2 or 3 max. I think most of my games ended with just 2 Enels at most and then senor pink to stabilize and control their board with my events.

@YUYUUDAYOYP こんにちは! トラッシュからイベント回収できるし、1ドン起こせる
リーダ効果と組み合わせて3ドンでポルチェ使って場面を展開する。

[Joshua Rakesh @JoshKesh91]

@james0606 Depends on which Enel it is and what the opponent's board state / future curve is like. I'd prioritize the SEC enel but if it's the blocker then I'd reconsider. Also depends on if they are a 6k/7k base leader or not. Alot of things to consider so knowldge of each match up is 🔑

[Joshua Rakesh @JoshKesh91]

@james0606 Yes definitely felt enough! At most you would only want to see 1 per game. Ideally you'd have 2 of the SEC instead. With the Porche build there's less focus on actually chain spamming Enels since the tempo is gained from the early aggression of going wide.

[Joshua Rakesh @JoshKesh91]

@jacksonngsun Yup! Try to setup porche + dog if you can. At most they can clear one of it. Then establish at least 2-3 Enels preferably the SEC one 1st. Then just control from there with your events. Rest their borsa and try to lock it consecutively to making it hard for Qwaser shenanigans.

[Joshua Rakesh @JoshKesh91]

@jacksonngsun In one match, I won because I cycled the stun event 4 times! Another match, the card helped me take mamaragan to rest Borsa together with the -1k event. Great synergy with cards like gamma knife too! 5 don to call and then 2 active don for gamma knife! Many options 😁

[Joshua Rakesh @JoshKesh91]

@jacksonngsun Cycling the events are strong. Won a few games by grabbing components to minus power, rest blockers, KO something and even just grabbing divine departure for guarding. There's also an opportunity to go wide by calling it and immediately using the leader skill into Porche + Holy.

[Joshua Rakesh @JoshKesh91]

@jacksonngsun Porche + dog helps alot haha
