This is a reply to Jeremy's article about Mandatory Cards. Actually to the reply by Cirgari or something like that. I am on the side of Jeremy here but first things first. Not all cards are totally mandatory and should go in every deck. In rare cases like in stall decks or such you may not want to use the card drawing cards, etc. Read the article a little lower called Cards you should not use.-Well I think the person meant not always use but I dont know. Any way Cirgari or whatever I forgot and all you who agree with him. Jeremy Woods is a great player and his reasons for liking the Fafetch'd are reasonable. He is still a great card no matter what happens. Especially the lastest tournament I've been in. Scyther would have gone down in smokes to all those fire decks. But Fafetch'd kept cool. Fire can be bad. They have have cheap attacks that do alot(Even though you have to discard. They are fast and powerful). I still think Scyther is better but give Farfetch'd his space. Also Charizard. I am not going to say he sucks because I... forget it. You seem to forget the fact that Charizard is stage two. Yeah he may be cool when you have but you need to get his other two amigos out first. You said to just use a breeder. That is still three cards. I play people who use Charizard but they never see him. They either don't get every thing they need or I wipe out his lesser forms first. Chansey is basic. And has less retreat cost. And has stall tatics. And double edge is an okay attack. Certainly not the best. Hopefully you were just mad since he basically refered to you as an idiot(although not directly) and you wrote foolishness in you fit of rage. Because certainly I am tired of seeing people over look the fact that Charizard has a real serious draw back. So great that he is not above average. And certainly not the best. I think people use the phrase "The Best" too loosly. There are drawbacks to everything no matter what(Well not some trainers like Bill and Energy Removal). Charizard is stage two. Get it. And even then is he the best. Certainly not I think. But I did not write this article to try and change minds. Seriously I didn't. I came to help out some one else. I want someone to yell at my article like the one that hopefully is two spaces above mine. So on and so forth. To speak and defend. TO expand and conquer. To be yelled at. To yell back. So on and so forth. To talk back. To use leek slap. To hurt. To set rights and stop wrongs.
