• its not that hard to get Mega Blaziken out
• its possible and not even that uncommon to attack with Mega Blaziken as early as turn 2
• once mega Blaziken is out you need a pokemon with at least 150 HP to survive even a single turn. Make that 170 HP if Blaziken has rocky helmet
• this 150HP pokemon has to be able to do at least 70 damage per turn, and that’s assuming they don’t have any copies of Lillie, and you have to have 2 fresh copies of this pokemon ready to attack, and this Pokémon’s attack probably needs to be 1 or maybe 2 cost
• If you don’t have 2 fresh copies of that pokemon it needs to do 110 damage per turn and you need Cyrus

Maybe your bad experience with mega Blaziken is due to the other cards you are running. Heatmor is not very useful compared to something like Entei EX from my experience.

The 2-diamond trainers are valued just for their usefulness. I bought my second 2-diamond cyrus with the bad luck protection points

The 2 star humans aren’t valued by their usefulness…

Mega Blaziken is so dumb tbh. It’s the first card I’ve seen in this game that I think actually should get nerfed or banned.

I’ve been playing an Oricorio deck a lot because it’s basically a free win against the mega-based decks, although it loses against basically anything else.
