i think a lot of us collected these but had no idea how the mecahnics worked. getting back into it, your videos have been so fun to watch, and helpful in understanding how the gameplay flows excited to build my first competitive deck now :)
I was thinking more like Healing Fields for Blaine's Arcanine, now I know Focus Band and Gold Berry are enough, so you can add more disruptive stadiums like Chaos Gym
Maybe I misunderstood, but shouldn't Heat Tackle have added 10 Damage each time? if so didn't apply the damage 3x in a row in which case would have gone from 60 -> 90 Damage taking itself out (20:52)
the original version of metal energy applied its effect to all pokemon, not just metal-type pokemon. but non-metal pokemon would deal 10 less damage with their attacks so heat tackle deals 30 instead of 40 and firestorm deals 110 instead of 120
Yes, the current version of metal energy only applies its shielding effect to metal-type pokemon. But the original metal energy applied its effect to all pokemon however the downside was that non-metal pokemon would deal 10 less damage with their attacks, so arcanine's heat tackle would only deal 30 instead of 40 and firestorm would deal 110 instead of 120.
Whoa! I love the new format with the most recently played/use card on the side! Great idea Holon!
Exceptionally good game.
Keep these retros coming.

Great match! Another close one, those pichu put in work. The wizards of the coast formats are my absolute favorite, but coin flips can be so brutal.
And grats on 100 subs - thanks for keeping these old formats alive!
@@k9guy Thanks so much! I love doing these battles!
Can you give us the deck list for Blaines Arcanine and thyplosion please

Always respect a fire deck vs a water deck!
My choice is going to the fire deck! Great deck!

The metal energy on arcanine reduces the damage that it deals to itself down to zero, so it's basically acting as a shield
Metal special energy for the win
@@holon_phantom but shouldn’t that effect only applies to Metal type? Arcanine is Fire type.

Am I crazy or does the metal energy only reduce damage taken by steel types? Would've totally changed the outcome of the game...
