OK seriously, is Blastoise or Venusaur better?

It was amazing seeing these decks after so long. I used to play the tcg with my dad before he passed away and this was a hit of nostalgia and old memories that really brought a smile to me. I hope you keep playing old decks with guests b/c it is great.
I wasn’t expecting to be put in my feels reading these comments…
you had a really cool dad. my dad never interested in any kind of games.
Goosebumps... U know what, now i'm playing this game with my 8 and 5 yr old kids. I hope they will remember it like u did
My son and I use to play back in the day. He had a Rain Dance deck that would kick my butt almost every time we played. These days his girls love pikachu and we've played a bit with decks I got from Walmart and my lgs.
Good times
👍
I love seeing a couple people take these old cards, slap them in some sleeves, and battle it out. No regard to the current value of the cards or fear of criticism from the current collector market. Just players enjoying the game for what it was intended for. Love it Mahone
They might be proxy cards. I wouldn’t be mad if they were real, but, like, why would they do that?
I know that feel. It's like digging out an old comic to read or playing a videogame on an older system: sure it might have some value now due to age, but it doesn't mean I have to suddenly turn them into antiques or trophies and can't enjoy them like I used to.
Also standard Base Set Blastoise and Venusaurs can be found for as low as $25-30 bucks in some cases so it's not really a Bank Buster here- there are modern YuGiOh cards played in decks with dumber prices than that(looking at you, ZEUS.)
@@NameAvailable I've got a Magic deck (in the commander format) worth around $2000. (Sorry for the flex.) They're meant to be played with. x)
I have both these decks + 2 other retro decks. The 4 decks cost me a total of around 1500€. I used to play magic. 1 of my decks in magic was around 1500$. it really isn’t that crazy when you put it that way. It is waaay cheaper to buy the cards for these decks than it is to crack open booster packs. Sure it costs more short term. But in the long run you’ll save tons of money if you just buy the specific cards you want.
Mahone my kid wants me to tell you that we also have a "monkey baby" (Grookey) at our house. He was stoked to see yours!
We need more base set-neo content , you’re killing it. I have all my decks intact and ready to play !!
Men love the old school decks videos so much.
The video where you show all your old decks make me start buying old cards for the sole purpose of building decks. So much fun.
Super cool to see the old decks play, makes me wish for more official, weird formats to showcase the older and weirder cards that would never survive in Expanded. Obviously WotC stuff will never be official, but hey, the idea stands.
I can't blame Venusaur, that Pokemon Center combo is nuts, but my heart breaks for my boy Blastoise! But we can all agree, both of these awesome guys are better than overrated Charizard, right? lol
They were unfair to Charizard in Base Set. That the text says to discard two energy cards instead of two energy leaves it out even in decks made for fun. More when the homage reprints in Diamond and Pearl and Evolutions correct this defect.
"Overrated Charizard" won the finals of the Mega Blastoise Cup in Japan :D
The videos you make with old cards are definitely your best videos. Please don't give up on this. Nostalgia wins! Thank you!
This is an awesome throwback, I'll never forget playing at my local Pokemon league, all casual, with my Suicune Ex and Blastoise Deck with pokecenters, at the time I was so proud of coming up with that deck that was sooo powerful, I would literally win 90% of matches with it. I eventually stopped playing TCG around 2004 but the Blastoise Deck still hangs around there in the sleeves somewhere at my mom's house.
Coming back to Pokemon TCG now and I think I'll regret the state I left all those Blastoise from playing them too much hahah, such fond memories...
Thanks for the deck demo and all the content you provide Andrew! It's been very nice for me to relive my pokemon hobby (now in my 30s yikes), and much of it is thanks to you guys consistently pumping out awesome content!
I played Rain Dance as my main deck back when I played Pokémon. I had already quit playing by the time Suicune Ex came out, but I remember seeing that card online and thinking how good it would’ve been in my Rain Dance deck.
Please keep doing these! I love to look at old decks and see how the card game has changed over time.
Thank you Andrew for this precious content! I love to see retro battles like this!
Ok that was fun, can you please do more base through fossil matches? Also I was wondering if you take requests for deck build videos. Thsnks
Went and watched all of the matches on stream and I have to say, this was so fascinating! I've always read (because I was way too young for it when it came out) about how like Rain Dance Blastoise is THE blitz deck of the old sets, and it's so interesting to watch it struggle to find leverage in an actual match. I guess theory and write-ups can only say so much!
Always happy to support tabletop vids, and always SUPER happy to support retro tabletop vids 💛
I would like to see a Feriligatr / Blasotoise Deck.. that brought me to the German Finals long time ago
I miss this old format. It brings back so many memories.
Reallly love the paper videos! Plus, pleeeez more vintage stuff. This was awsome!
This are the best content of old TCG in the web. Please, do a lot more of it!
YES! Been waiting for another retro match-up!
Awesome to see these decks in action.
I played in this era, fun times and good memories.
i love seeing these old format videos! it’s awesome to see how the game started and fun to think of how some of these strategies have evolved today! (no pun intended)
love the vintage content. Definitely made my morning!
How did I miss this video? I pretty
Much binged all your retro Pokémon battles in lockdown. Fantastic stuff
Love the base-fossil tabletop. Want to see more!
Man, it's so neat to look back at older formats like this and get a feel for how the game used to be. I'd LOVE if you guys did a series akin to Cimo's History of Yu-Gi-Oh series where you'd go through the different sets and formats, the Tier 0 decks that utterly dominated, the broken, the jank, I feel like it would be insanely fun!
He started this with his history videos, so far he’s done Base through Rocket! They take a while but I’ll try to nudge him more to get started on Gym ;)
this was so good, hope to see more of these old school games
Love seeing these types of videos!
So cool ! More oldschool content like this please ! We want to see the Alakazam/chansey deck :)
Love seeing the OG cards being played. So many memories. ☺️ Would love to also see some gameplay on base set Charizard one day.
I know I'm late to the party, but there is no better feeling than getting an exeggutor onto the field and transferring all your energy in play to it for a surprise big eggsplosion
YES! More Base-Fossil pleeeeeeeeeez.
This is super helpful for me as I'm playing Pokemon TCG for GBC and it gives me ideas.
Love the content and Would love to see a structure deck series❤️❤️
would love to see more games from your cubes!
Let’s go team venusaur!!!
It stresses me out watching them sling these cards around but damn is it amazing to see them on the table!
I live for these retro vids. Plz more DPP onwards i will cry
Blastoise was OP in the OG would pair with... holy as soon as it came up on your video Articuno. The gameboy color ptcg was great
in that gameboy color game, i remember putting surfing pikachu into the deck, to counter the water leaders deck, while also setting up my own blastoise.
i also played at least 1 Wartortle in the off chance i can't pokemon breeder.
Hey Mahone! Love the video/channel like always! Keep it up stay safe hope you reach 75K subscribers and have an amazing afternoon! 😁👍
Nice Video! 👍 😊
Awesome stuff! I have two feedback suggestions based on things I think would improve my experience watching tabletop. Is there any way you could make it easier to see the prizes remaining? I have a hard time seeing Will’s prizes due to overlay. Also, it’s fine on computer, but on phone I can’t make out the individual prize cards as well, so the full 2x3 setup would really help me. The blue cards just look like lots of blue and I can’t tell if there are 3 cards in the top row or two because I can’t see the overlap. Hope I didn’t come off poorly!
I remember my Dark Blastoise Deck!
Any chance for decklist id love to see the ratios you played in these deck to build them myself and have a few games~
Turbosaur vs Turbostoise!!!! Love the match!
And none for charizard
I love turbo blastoise. I won a local tournament with it when I had 12 years old (L) Miss good all days
2:30 the original Cheryl and weavile GX/bronzong etc...
I want a full reprint of double crisis or maybe team yell pokemon or something, I think it would be awesome!
It’s crazy seeing how many passes you can get away with in this format. In today’s meta if you pass more than once in a game your opponent gets so far ahead
Finally,proof.Charizard is mid af
Tell that to game freak
Calling Base Set Charizard Mid might be a bit too generous hahahaha.
@@fawfulmark2 lol yeah, possibly trash tier
I saw it with electrode but Its mid asf
Arcanine is THE base set fire pokémon. Super cool paired with Electrode.
Blastoise/ Articuno/ Lapras was always my favourite deck in the pokemon trading card game, gameboy color game!
Venusaur had some "pokemon center" shenanigans for lots of healing.
when i played Venusaur on TCG ONE, i remember throwing Dark Muk and Jungle Gloom to put loads of status conditions onto the defending pokemon. Lickitung was in my opinion the most annoying gen 1 card. even haymakers struggled with it!
I prefer Venusaur because I love to move energy around to different pokes.
In context: These powers aren't even close imo and the real argument is around pokemon center in my view. Refreshing the hand with energy was just wayyy too easy in base set PLUS rain dance evades energy removal so you don't even need to necessarily play energy in advance, it can be ran with pokemon center VERY easily. Energy Trans and Rain Dance have the same tempo the issue is rain dance sustains it.
Wills deck was just built better. Articuno is just too slow and thins the deck massively for resources. Lickitung and even Clefable make more sense in my view.
Andrew you’re the goat man
Venusaur with no fire against it combined with Lickeytong for stalling and pokecenter is so dangerous.... You really can attack with 2 Venusaur.....
I always thru a 2-2 charizard line in my venusaur deck on gbc
I haven't played Pokémon cards in more than 8 years. Unfortunately, I had to sell all my cards.
Please I want to see the old school base set charizard deck.
But eventually, gras deck made a fault with his sword dance....
Anyone got decklist for these two decks?
Plant gang, rise up!!!
Not like it matters but when a pokemon is paralyzed you are suppose to turn it clockwise and counter clockwise for asleep so you were not turning your pokemon the correct way most of the game!
Venusaur!!!
Why Lickytong at the end, use Scyther. And then he benched his Lickytong? Doesn't make any sense?
I pick Charizard!!
But if you insist then its rain dance my boyyy!
I was scrolling to see how long till I saw the inevitable Charizard comment 😅 hehe
@@greenmoblin3114 did it get you far? Hahaha
@@RebirthVault I was low key expecting it almost immediately
YOOOOO VENUSQAUD
What I have learnt today, Venusaur is stronger than Blastoise!
Probably should have teched a Lapras.
now what is will's twitter @?
Blastoise is better and fast at setting up. But venusaur has better healing
Most expensive list ever would be a alternative title.
Not as much as you'd think.
I just built a Base-Fossil Rain Dance deck recently with stuff I got off TCGPlayer and the total came to just a little under 200 bucks-75 of which was for 3 Blastoise.
Other TCGs tend to have far dumber prices just for a modern era deck than that. Though to be fair there are some classic Pokemon formats that are looking to have pretty dumb price barrier to get cards to play on (eReader/EX format cards just are insane in some cases) but Base-Neo at least seems to be among the more forgiving on the wallet.
Blue > Green
I don’t know how you guys can live with yourselves not using proxies 😅. It’s a good thing charizard isn’t a playable card because you already know that mr Mahoney would sleeve that bad boy up in a wicked video for the channel! Edit: I’m loving the old format content by the way!
The cards are meant to be played with ;) Unless they're super minty I guess.
They were already in played condition when he bought them!
@@natalieshampay214 That’s good to hear. Question: if they are already in played condition will playing with them a little bit like in this video continue to make the value of the cards go down?
@@ephus_ No, playing with them in general as long as you’re gentle doesn’t wear the card much anyway.
@@natalieshampay214 noice
*cries in Charizard*
honestly, this wasnt an overly well constructed blastoise deck
I came here to see how many people said Charizard.
Spamming Energy Removal's absolutely destroy's Venusaur, but yet you dont play any. Blastoise Wins. If both play Energy Removal, Blastoise still win's cause it can attach more than once a turn. Argument solved haha.
PaRalized, asLeep, come on you kept putting ur paralyzed pkmn to the left, they go right
Yoo that makes sense
The website where they sell Pokémon cards is highly overpriced. Love the content, just not the store they’re promoting.
Wth are you doing? Play plus power!
neither of them, by the time you get them both out theyd be dead already.
First!
No way in hell venasaur is better than blastoise
Base set Bulba sucks. Sucks so much so, that it singlehanded loses the comparison debate concerning their stage 2 forms.
