@@DarianTrinity "when" unless it's a "madnatory when" ie "when x; y" (mandatory) vs "when x; you can y" (optional) must happen immediately upon meeting its condition which opens a hole for chain blocking by effects taking place between the condition/trigger and the actual effect. if that sounds insane, it's because it absolutely is
According to the late Pokemon Card Master Ztorm, Lickitung is also a good colorless card. With an attack that hits for 10 and paralyzes your opponent if you get a good coin flip every turn in order to build up your bench to the point you can overrun them. Speaking of Chansey and Alakazam, there's a deck called Haybreaker, a slow deck revolving around Alakazam's Damage Swap, Chansey's massive HP and Dodrio's Rage attack, along with Scoop Up to pull Chansey out of danger if there's too much damage on it, then put it back on your bench. In short this deck is slow but like a certain golem once it gets up and running it can't be stopped.
I love Pokemon TCG, when the Gameboy Game was made available on 3DS I bought it ASP. I completed and collected all Cards, including multiple copies so I could use the Deck Machines (as a kid I never really did this). One thing about modern day TCG I love is how easy it is to to play or at least get back into, I remember coming back to play after like 25 years and making a PTCG Online Account and just getting back into the Game. Unlike Yu-Gi-Oh which for me has become beyond complicated, I remember trying to get back into it with my younger brother's help and all I could think is what a mess it had become.
@@aster4jaden lmao yugioh being a mess is what makes it fun, but that's fair, Pokemon definitely has accessibility that makes it fun to check in on every few years, and it's a shockingly cheap card game thanks to the high rarity cards being (extremely goregous) alt arts. I buy new sets when they release to collect cool arts, but I'm too yugioh-brained to get back into it as a game lol
You should look to see if you can find a fan translation of the sequel to this game, unless you can get the Japanese release officially somehow nowadays and are ok with that. It adds a decent few more cards and is also a decent bit longer. I had a lot of fun playing it
Your jab at YGO being a "game for lawyers" got me for some reason
i love ygo to death, but if/when/mandatory-when is such a nightmare i cant believe that game still exists
@@ntmaproductions I still don't understand when/how cards miss timing on their effects

also despite this mandatory when effects just... wait for chain resolution because ???
also "if" never misses timing also because ????????
you deserve way more followers, my guy

Lickitung is neat but I'm a bit too risk averse for para stall, I know it saw use but I'm morr for consistency than raw cheese.

@@ntmaproductions Funny enough i'm the opposite, i'm too Pokemon-brained to get back into Yu-Gi-Oh.
