Chris MaherHOST
I think.
Chris MaherHOST
I thought like, fuck this Sand, T-Tar, Excadrill.
Chris MaherHOST
I was like, there's no way I can bring Dolfox to this matchup.
Chris MaherHOST
In hindsight... because I brought Blastoise and I was like, no, that in hindsight, I should have brought Delfox to that matchup.
Chris MaherHOST
And just, because I can fake out the T-tar and just like heat wave, you know what I mean? Like, and get rid of the Excadrill.
Chris MaherHOST
And, because I've got Levitate, so the Excadrill can't do shit to me.
Mark MurrayHOST
But I didn't, sometimes you just fucking
Chris MaherHOST
forget Levitate.
Maia MelbanGUEST
As I mentioned, Azorg is not very winnable.
Maia MelbanGUEST
Excadrill, not very winnable.
Maia MelbanGUEST
And then obviously Pulse, like, super good.
Maia MelbanGUEST
Like, there's some real high highs and low lows.
Maia MelbanGUEST
If I had one or two auto losses, it's cool.
Maia MelbanGUEST
That's more time for me to go and walk around the hall and talk to people and just, I don't know, just chill.
Gabe ShumwayHOST
Well, now that you're chasing a World's Invite potentially, if you were to run this back, or do you think any of those matchups are worth testing? Do you think it's worth throwing in, you know, something like a Paldean Tauros for that Excadrill matchup, for example?
Maia MelbanGUEST
I've seen some other variants of this deck where, like, you play, like, a little Fire Package.
RicarioHOST
Sword on sword action.
Tony of PrideHOST
All right, and sitting at number 10, our last spot is Excadrill.
Tony of PrideHOST
We knew it was going to be here somewhere, guys.
Tony of PrideHOST
It's running Mudshot and Scorching Sands.
Chip RicheyHOST
Then...
Chip RicheyHOST
Slowking and Zork, Excadrill, and Megalopony.
Chip RicheyHOST
Kind of sneaking up there.
Chip RicheyHOST
Almost 5% of the Megalopony.
WildcatDad17HOST
Mimikyu, and number one, and will be on damn near every team, Melmetal.
Stafford ShireHOST
Well, I can't wait to run Shadow Excadrill into every single metal.
WildcatDad17HOST
Shadow, ooh, you are a bad person.
WildcatDad17HOST
I am a terrible...
WildcatDad17HOST
Because it's 2-2-1.
HoosierDada13HOST
Skarmory is kind of interesting being a steel type that would beat a lot of the Mud Slappers.
HoosierDada13HOST
Excadrills and Stunfisk.
Blind CrazinessHOST
Oh, because it's got Drill Run now.
Joe BernardHOST
'Cause it has a three energy attack cost.
Joe BernardHOST
I think- The main thing that was vaguely interesting to me is if you, like, take the spaces out of an Excadrill and you have just, like, Heatran, Skarmory, and Mawile as, like, a late game, there could be a mega-
JackHOST
Mega Metal box
Joe BernardHOST
... um, b- mega Metal, uh, as a strategy.
JackHOST
I think the fact that we saw a little bit of Metang experimentation before Mega Xero even came out kind of says-
Joe BernardHOST
Mm
JackHOST
... that people will try this out, and again, people are already playing Skarmory, and Mega Excadrill is a pretty big investment in your, in, in spaces.
JackHOST
You still have to run probably that many energy just because you want to hit them with Metang anyway, but this is one or two compared to, like, the four or five-
Chris MarrHOST
So I'm wondering at what point did he deliberately try and do this in day two? Because Blaziken Dragapult is like the equivalent – I mean, yes, you do take a while to set up your drag cloaks and, you know, whatever, which is deliberate, but it's kind of the hyper-offensed type deck.
JoelHOST
Yeah, so the opponents on day two were a Galarian Slowking, Mega Excadrill, Dragapult, Galarian Slowking, Dragapult, and then Alakazam, the Dunsbuss.
JoelHOST
The problem with the TCG is that they
Chris MarrHOST
get 50 minutes to do a best of three and a single game can take 50 minutes.
21 MINS LATER
JoelHOST
Again, looking kind of like the world's winning team.
JoelHOST
Evan Graham running Hippowdon Sand.
JoelHOST
So Excadrill and then Como O, Gengar and the Blowjob Bros.
JoelHOST
And then we probably shouldn't mention 16th place.
Wade BarnesHOST
Oh, I got an
Mark FischbachHOST
EX.
Mark FischbachHOST
Oh, is this a reverse holo? Is that what that is?
Bob MuyskensHOST
Yeah, so the last three cards in every pack will be a reverse hollow, a reverse hollow, and then a hollow of some sort.
Mark FischbachHOST
Zabru.
Mark FischbachHOST
Zarude.
Wade BarnesHOST
What was your EX that you pulled, Wade? Rampardos.
Wade BarnesHOST
Rampardos.
Marco CifuentesGUEST
Yeah, okay, so when we were going into Worlds, we ended up deciding that Dragapult, of course, first priority, like, out of the question.
Marco CifuentesGUEST
But the rest of decks that we decided, like, we think will be, like, number 2 through 4 or 2 to 5 in the most played, we thought it was going for sure to be Zoroark, Festival Lead, Excadrill, and Alakazam.
Marco CifuentesGUEST
So we decided to focus on Excadrill and Festival Lid, and they ended up flopping a little bit.
Marco CifuentesGUEST
But there was still a considerable amount of Festival Lid.
Marco CifuentesGUEST
I think it was worth touching for it.
Gabe ShumwayHOST
And then kind of going into Recife, you decided the Petron wasn't worth it, the Energy Switch wasn't worth it, and you pivoted to kind of a more standard list.
Gabe ShumwayHOST
You had the Punk helmets in there, you still played the Unfair stamp, but why did you think this Petron package became incorrect by the time we got to Recife?
Marco CifuentesGUEST
because a lot of people realized festival lead was a fraud, so it stopped seeing play and pesha runes, like baby pesh, was mainly for the festival lead matchup and TE switches, apart from being good against festival lead, were really good against Excadrill because you can like in one turn go energy switch, pp up energy switch, attach to peshy X to KO an Excadrill with black belts after they are at one price card, because that's like perfect math.
Carl WilkinHOST
I feel like all I'm going to talk about today is Mechagangar, another Parish trap team.
Carl WilkinHOST
This one using Hippowdon Excadrill as that kind of go fast other mode, which is super duper neat.
Carl WilkinHOST
This is a Rock Tomb Sash Excadrill, which is super cool.
Carl WilkinHOST
We're not usually seeing things like Rock Tomb on Excadrill, but being able to, oh, this doesn't even have Parish.
Carl WilkinHOST
This is just playing trapping stuff.
Carl WilkinHOST
