For a comparison of the versatility of deflagration and pulverizer, let's look at all the possible decks each one can be used in:
Deflagration:
Any mono with a mark (11 deck types since has steal)
Any duo with (11 more deck types)
Any deck with novas/immos (a ton more decks)
Rainbows (more decks)
Pulverizer:
duo
Rainbows (kind of)
Are you really going to argue that pulverizer is more versatile?
I already admitted that explosion was more versatile, what im saying though is that situationally Pulerizer is better (via PA) perma PC, imo.
Pulverizer is way too slow to be relevant most of the time.
only If your deck isn't balanced enough, then yes most of the time since its harder to balance than explosion, but building a deck based on pulverizer isn't exactly a smart thing, Its only the topping of the cake, however over the long run its more effective if you want perma PC control.
And Don't forget, its a duo between
and
, I could run a stall deck with some protective cards (armagio, BB, gravity force, etc.), and then apply the combo, yes its slower but over the long run I think its worth it, especially for a stall deck, explosion is just quicker and cheaper but not as permanent as Pulvy is going to be.
It's all relevant with balance, and I see Pulvy in a balanced deck more effective for PC control than explosion (not to mention it does damage on the side).
btw, I think we are going out of topic here.
I only wanted to suggest a very minor thematic buff for Explosion, to be honest I don't see the problem with adding the effect I suggested.
Almost No one has actually speculated on that particular effect I suggested, since it looks as though it is disagreed on just Any buff.
discuss the effect that I suggested in detail, what would the general effects be and how would it be OP/UP/Balanced?
