Jack OldHOST
I'll ...
Jack OldHOST
I'm not getting anywhere close to Gladion this turn, but I can thin my hand enough down, hand down enough to Gladion next turn and win that way."
Joe BernardHOST
Mm-hmm.
Jack OldHOST
So, yeah.
JW KriewallHOST
You know, it's so crazy.
JW KriewallHOST
You get your Gladion, you get your Brave Bangle, you're doing plus 110.
JW KriewallHOST
The problem is And maybe you saw this in your testing or maybe this is not a problem, but you're drawing seven cards with the rapid draw twice.
JW KriewallHOST
You take a two prize knockout and then your draw for turn.
6 MINS LATER
Andrew MahoneHOST
Right? Like, so that, that area of like loss is pretty much negated in this version of the deck.
Andrew MahoneHOST
There are turns where you'll get stamped and promote like Goldeen and you won't have like the Nutter Butters, like return KO.
Andrew MahoneHOST
Um, because you aren't able to get like stadium, Gladion, Bengal, all that.
Andrew MahoneHOST
Oh, that's two.
DrewHOST
Um, two tried and true Toucannon, three Rockets Mewtwo, uh, surprisingly three Mega Venusaur total.
DrewHOST
Um, I know the seeking heavy festival lead was, like, the flavor of the weekend as well, um, where you're just playing the Gladions doing more damage and drawing cards.
AaronHOST
cards.Yeah, like that to me, 'cause that was on stream relatively early, I believe, and that, uh, yeah, Fernando of course played it.
AaronHOST
Um, former Worlds champion by the way.
Gabe ShumwayHOST
And I don't know, it kind of all clicked and made sense to me as, you know, this is one of your better matchups.
Gan Pee Wei JunGUEST
Yeah, it was definitely a scary matchup before testing because of the Gladion.
Gan Pee Wei JunGUEST
So we...
Gan Pee Wei JunGUEST
when Peach Black was almost releasing, I was really, really stressed out on the Festival League matchup.
Gan Pee Wei JunGUEST
Before the Gladion, I think it would be a really, really good matchup.
Gan Pee Wei JunGUEST
But after the Gladion, I started to ask for testing against the deck.
Gan Pee Wei JunGUEST
So I think we tested fairly a lot of matches.
Gan Pee Wei JunGUEST
I think 30, 40 matches on Festival League at least.
JW KriewallHOST
It's very interesting.
JW KriewallHOST
It appeals to me at some level, the Gladion's Final Battle, giving your Sea King just, like, an insane amount of damage potential.
JW KriewallHOST
I can fix her, dude.
Andrew MahoneHOST
I can fix this list.
CiaranHOST
But, it's kind of interesting here, like, I guess one of the problems Festival has sometimes, you have to play your hand so low to take knockouts.
CiaranHOST
So with Seaking, it's like you're always replenishing your hand, and then, like, there's Triple Gladion here, there's a Hand Trimmer, so, like, you can always get your hand down.
CiaranHOST
And there's, like, a Moltres to, uh, What's it called? To attack and have an easier time into stuff like extra drill.
CiaranHOST
You can soften it up.
JakeHOST
with iron thorns ex playing festival lead and i was thinking of you the entire time sean
SeanHOST
i i watched a little bit of the first round and man that gladion's last stand was just like so good it was like let me just take a knockout with a fish and draw four cards
JakeHOST
Yeah.
JakeHOST
If you don't know, Seaking first attack rapid draw draws two cards on the attack and then Festival lead the deck essentially lets your Pokemon attack twice in a single turn.
AaronHOST
uh again don't know if there's a really really good player that can play what do you think we shall see i ultimately think no i think the deck has its matchups right um It hits for very good weakness as well, too.
AaronHOST
And between the Brave Bangles, I think now even with Gladion, you can play the Goldeen and Seaking line, right? That helps you kind of draw some cards as well, too, maybe after Stamp or something.
AaronHOST
But, like, playing double Gladion and then, like, even a Bangle, like, it just makes sense.
AaronHOST
You're able to pare down your hand, so...
AaronHOST
But I just...
Azul GGHOST
... shift, I think, from NAIC.
Chip RicheyHOST
Right, with the addition of Gladion into the mix, right?
Azul GGHOST
Yeah.
Chip RicheyHOST
Um, so I mean, a lot more Blaziken, I feel like, has been discussed, in part because of the ease of knocking out Excadrill with a fire-type attacker.
Ethan WildeGUEST
I think it ...
Ethan WildeGUEST
With Gladion now, Seeking is actually good.
Ethan WildeGUEST
Um, and Goldeen offers the benefits of having Festival Lead on a basic Pokemon so that you can use your Thwackys even if you don't find the evolution for your Applin.
Ethan WildeGUEST
Um, so I think the line is definitely more valuable than it probably ever has been.
Ethan WildeGUEST
Um, you also break the rules and attack twice.
Ethan WildeGUEST
You can, in certain match-ups, like Zoroark specifically, you can...
Ethan WildeGUEST
Your Gladion guarantees you a one-hit knockout on the Zoroark, and then you will always KO whatever they promote if you attach, like, a Brave Bangle.
Ethan WildeGUEST
They can shiver Pecharunt, and you take four prizes on that turn.
