AKA "How the most hated Pokemon in the Games became the Hero of the TCG." I still remember that point in time whenever PTCGRadio/Wossy did reviews of new cards/GXes and had to make additional comments about whether or not they lose against Garbodor-it's impact was *That* insane.
I enjoy playing the TCG especially when someone discovers an unassuming card or two tha catches your opponent off guard - even if it’s a .15 cent card. Thanks heaps for your fun vid‼️
I played in SanFrancisco right before this happened. I played MegaRay, Shaymin Skyfield with my trick being ScytherEx. I was on a wild winning streak local before my invite because no-one expected the Scyther when I didnt open a skyfield mega ray. I would use it to set up my mega rays while bouncing Shaymins. I stopped paper and went digital only after the SanFran invite. I loved playing legacy (BRING LEGACY BACK TO LIVE! I WWANNA PLAY MY CLEFFAS!) I was hated in my area and would show up to locals to not have a single person face me. They would see me on the paper and scoop. I am a seller on TCGPlayer so had a solid gold deck with FA everything. I still have the deck just for friends and to remember my tirade that year. But Garbador did kill that deck and drop the price like crazy. It was a fun time but I felt like a TeamRocket employee for that year.
Megaray still had a fairly decent MU against Garb decks. It was annoying to see the damage pile up, sure but it was also not bad to just play at a slower pace due to the low damage output by either of Garb's partners (Espy GX or Drampa GX). If anything, Foxy Drampa was the really hard matchup for Megaray.
I love how different games have different approaches to certain mechanics, depending on how the game works. In yu gi oh a card that lets you draw one single card (let alone two or more) requires some kind of conditions to it unless you want it instantly banned or limited, while in pokemon you have drampa that just goes "ye, draw till you've got 10, have fun"
Original Pokémon there was no limit to the number of trainers you could play. Do you could have 4 Professor Oak (Draw 7), 4 Bill (Draw 2) and 4 Computer Search (Search and draw 1) on your first turn. Your deck would only have 7 cards left if you did this so it was a bad idea with how slow the game was back then.
yeah having a "draw a card when your opponent special summons" card in the special summons game is crazy. like imagine if your opponent got to drop an energy or something every time you added a pokemon to your bench.
None of the top decks even need draw in yugioh, you just look through your deck and find exactly what you need and play it. Everything basically says "special summon/add to your hand a meta card from the current format from your deck" not a single starting hand is unplayable because everything summons something else. Draw power in yugioh barely does anything in the highest levels of play because the best decks are designed to not even need draw past your first draw and the game is over after 2 draws anyway. If they unbanned Pot of Greed and put it to 3, I honestly believe it wouldn't change the meta at all.
Guardians Rising was when I started playing. Espeon/Garb was my first deck, and even though I was new I managed to top 4 a few cups and top 128 a regional with it. I love that deck and that era.
I like a lot of what they did in live but I was a bigtime trader before and didn't know what would happen when I switched to live. I lost so many Plasma Ultra Balls and packs. but have had enough coins to pretty much get whatever I want. I would love trading to come back but with the new system it cant really. I still play everyday, and even with how glitchy the game gets it is fun. I just want legacy back. I have my decks ready but dont know if they will ever implement it again. I would play legacy tournaments everyday in the old client. Now I cant even play my Shaymin Mray deck on live.
@luv-lost also I don't like that they give you the best decks the moment you log in. I remember playing in the tag team era that every deck I was up against was different and the game never got stale
As a Hearthstone player, with literally no idea how to play the game, I think what baffles me the most is you're allowed to run more than one copy of legendary Pokémon cards!
@@BurtsPTCG I'm surprised to even hear that! Would be neat if there was a for single copies of certain, high power cards. Kinda like how, in most mainline PKMN games, getting multiples of legendaries is tough.
One thing worth mentioning is if you want the tool removed from garbotoxin, you have to play field blower, dare I say field blower is an item? The problem with how ridiculous the garbodors were was how well they synergized together.
@@BurtsPTCG it's pretty interesting but that's even why BuzzShrine was so strong after Garbotoxin had rotated out, since people would either take shrine damage, or field blower the shrine, then if you field blower the shrine that's more garbodor damage.
For me, late Sun-Moon was where I felt like budget decks peaked. I essentially made a deck that was the TCG equivalent of a swiss-army knife. It consisted of a specific Shedinja that can be attached to other pokemon as a tool card to prevent opponent from pulling a prize card when KO-ing it, an oranguru that allows you to shuffle cards from your discard pile into your deck, a Blacephalon from unbroken bonds that can nuke anyone if I discard enough fire energy, a salazzle that allows me to draw more cards by discarding a fire energy, and finally... a Unown with an ability that gave me a new win condition, HAND (if this pokemon is active and you have 45 cards in your hand, you win the game). It was hilariously fun to play. only downside is that it takes time to setup at the first few turns.
This was the last format I played before taking a 6 year gap. Reading through the cards after this format it was obvious the game got absurd. Idk when it happened but it must’ve eventually cooled down because when I came back last year the game had a great tempo. My worry is that the direction of the game rn is going back to this era
@@BurtsPTCG it does. but i think the other stipulations on things like the trumpet will keep it in check to a degree (imo dusclops/noir from SHF is going to be more problematic; briar reminds me of fantina, though briar will probably manage to win a couple of games at least). also i like that they're enabling new/old strategies; fire off armarouge/palkia VSTAR get new life with all of the tera support they're printing, considering the former gets essentially blacksmith on an item and the latter gets shady dealings back + sky field. tl;dr i dont think its any crazier than lost box stuff weve had forever and it enables some really cool stuff
I got into the TCG in 2018 as a curious 8 year old (taking it surprisingly seriously), meaning that the first formats I played were some of the first post Seattle formats and I still think (maybe a bit of nostalgia) that those were some of the best formats of all time, pre and post 2018 rotation (rotating out a lot of the main turbo tools, trainer’s mail and shaymin most importantly) because of the diversity and difficulty of those metas as well as OHKOs not being as common. So many for me epic decks, Ultra Necrozma Malamar, all the Zoroark GX variants etc. I really only have Garbodor to thank for this, because it shaped that meta, that diversity, all those complex decks and really my entire TCG journey so it’s probably my favorite card oat.
Whenever I see videos like this, it makes me feel like I was playing a completely different game. Garbodor is a good card no doubt, I didn't see it make a significant impact on the game. I think part of this is how I play the game. All I did was count cards, play Guzma's, and tried to be as efficient as possible when playing my board (that means no over extending). I never worried about getting one shot by Garbodor since I could usually achieve a board state in under 20 item cards. Around this time I believe I played Zoroark GX / Decidueye GX and Zoroark GX / Lycanroc GX. Over the years of playing PTCG, I realized one of the biggest mistakes a lot of players do, is draw or play cards just because they can. This can lead to deckouts or exhausting pieces earlier than necessary. Seriously, look up some PTCGO gameplay footage and you'll see people burning through cards like crazy when there was no real need to. Again, I don't think Garbodor was that impactful. It just mostly punished really bad players.
Garb pushed trainers mail one of the best items of all time clean out the format, vs seeker went from 4 counts to 3 counts in some decks, acro bike wasn't played unless it was a turbo single prize deck and mega mewtwo was a top three deck before garb and never placed after garb came out
Well... yeah. Not a surprise given the effects of *both* those cards were promoted (demoted?) to Supporters. Gust of Wind (and pre-erratum Pokémon Catcher) became Lysandre, then Boss's Orders. Even more so for Energy Removal; maybe I'm just spacing it off, but I think all of its Supporter successors have a slightly nerfed version of the effect. Like, restricted to targeting the Energy on an opponent's Active (Team Flare Grunt), requiring you discard 2 cards from your hand to use it (Plumeria), or you have to pick between multiple effects and discarding one attached Special Energy card is one of them (Xerosic?).
I loved to play Garbodor Buzzwole and Lycanroc gx deck. That lycanroc's ability either helped you to kill a pokemon, or make the game longer, also there were combos with special energies
@@BurtsPTCG What do you think of that deck, 2 rockruffs, 2 lycanroc gx, 3 trubish, 3 garbodor, 3 buzzwole, 1 diance prism, 1 tapu lele. rainbow energies, 1 double for lycan, 2 fighting, 2 psychic, 1 beast energy. And for trainers the usual stuff such as brooklet hill, balls, cynthias and guzmas, rescue stretcher, few switches and field blower.
@BurtsPTCG def did, nice seeing the history of a different tcg, I play primarily yugioh and got into pokemon tcg about a month ago. Was a great vid wish you Luck in the future, got a sub from me
I miss sun and moon era format, as it was glorious single prize deck attacker era, garchomp lucario, Alolan Exeggutor, baby blacephalon, buzzhole garbodor... GX decks were tough to against them. Now l don't see any outperform single prize attacker deck anymore
As someone who hasn't played the TCG since Expedition, seeing that Volcanion Basic with 130 HP and a 3 fire energy 100 damage attack made me chuckle a little bit. You can make the argument that the various EX, Mega, Vmax, etc. rules "justify" busted cards, but that's just a straight up Basic Pokémon. 😂
I still will whip out my Plasma SR Ultra Balls, Seekers, and Mails to built decks with friends but I loved that time before Garbo. He changed the whole meta for sure.
As a Yugioh player, we had an identical situation happen a few years ago. A card called Maxx C went untouched for 7 years, but when we got a new format in 2017, it literally became _the_ most powerful, game-breaking card ever printed overnight. It was immediately banned and it’ll never come off the list. To put this in perspective, only one TCG video game allows it to be used and the statistics for the card are 93.8%
Hey, that was still the time I played the game online. Good times. Trashvalanche got me to basically "quit the game", since I enjoyed the speed of the xy era a lot. And once that was gone, i didn't play as much. These days i only really play yugioh and Pokémon prereleases. But I would give anything to have a legacy format for xy, so i could play volcanion again.
We haven't had an item based draw format since garbodor was printed. And I think that was a design change approach creatures made a conscious decision on when making the card. That design change philosophy has changed the game forever long after trashalnche rotated 🙏
It did though, it shaped all the metas up until rotating and established a new attitude to playing and deck building, with diversity and encouragement of difficult to play decks. To me, this attitude has persisted for a while, even if it isn’t really that active now.
While I appreciate the set up and context, I don’t think it needed to be 10 minutes long before actually showing what the card being talked about was, as it can be confusing for those who maybe don’t know much about the PTCG.
AKA "How the most hated Pokemon in the Games became the Hero of the TCG."
I still remember that point in time whenever PTCGRadio/Wossy did reviews of new cards/GXes and had to make additional comments about whether or not they lose against Garbodor-it's impact was *That* insane.
Yeah absolutely insane levels of destruction 🤣🙏
Most hated? Never met anyone who hates Garbodor.
@thetrickster4899 Gen 5/6, it was one of the most hated mon behind the Elemental Monkeys and Spritzy family.
I enjoy playing the TCG especially when someone discovers an unassuming card or two tha catches your opponent off guard - even if it’s a .15 cent card. Thanks heaps for your fun vid‼️
Thank you so much for your support 🙌
Reminds me of the time I witnessed someone power a Tag Team Reshiram Zekrom with a Team Magma Camarupt
As someone who went to Seattle regionals as an excited 12 year old playing ninetales gx, this video filled me with so much nostalgia thank you Burt

Incineroar changes VGC forever, all Pokémon meta games have own ,,changes everything'' pokémon 😂
Haha yeah this is true! Waiting for incineroar to do some tcg damage :p
Field Blower can't accelerate the item count because tools aren't item cards 😎
they were at that time

TLDR: The card is a basic Stage 1 Garbodor. 9:47
Struggling to see what's basic about it but fair 😂
Thank you!
Dude thinks he's SummoningSalt
He's the 🐐
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
🙌🙌
While I appreciate the set up and context, I don’t think it needed to be 10 minutes long before actually showing what the card being talked about was, as it can be confusing for those who maybe don’t know much about the PTCG.
Thanks for the feedback 🙏
Lemme guess based on title…battle vip pass?
Edit: ahh makes so much sense
Battle pass was probably more expensive 😂😭
Completely broken and unfunny
😭
use different music, you aren’t summoning salt
trash card
Pun intended? 👀
It's pronounced Lysander
