@pokehawkeye Is seal split “correct” to you?

@theinfernohippo I think so. I think a sky stone is really good to open up lines vs a lot of decks, especially when you don’t start well and miss turns (can be useful vs basically anything other than other LZ decks and gardy)

@pokehawkeye Were these events bo1? Or bo3. Playing lzb in bo1 seems fairly risky

@BodynKim The two Cups this week were bo3. It’s interesting, because LZ obviously has some consistency issues fixed in bo3 but also runs into new issues with tying and needing to keep track of time.

@pokehawkeye How are Gears working for you? Every time I have them it feels like a LZ target or pretty inconsistent to obtain value

@Mellow_Magikarp I mean yeah, if you don’t need them you can just lost zone them, but when you do need them they can be game saving. They can give you a chance at a live hand early game and almost always can hit something useful late game. Not 100% needed but have bailed me out for sure

@pokehawkeye Any thoughts on Hawlucha SVI in the deck? I've had it give me a win exactly once against another LZB but I'm having a hard time justifying cutting it

@shitdinglesays Hawlucha definitely isn’t bad and can sometimes help the mirror and also is very good vs Goodra (at least in theory). However I have been trying to maximize consistency as I feel like when I set up I am usually in a winning position

@pokehawkeye Do you ever feel like Roxanne could help your games? I always wanna find a spot for it in the mirror - opponent hand size by end game is disgusting - but most games there is never a turn where Roxanne makes sense, and cutting anything feels bad man

@okJLUV I haven’t thought about Roxanne much, usually when I set up I don’t feel like I need it but it could definitely help if you were behind. But like you said cutting stuff doesn’t feel good and I want to maximize consistency and often your opponent can play around it anyways

@pokehawkeye Super fun to have you this weekend! Very nice to meet you!

@pokehawkeye @DeadDrawGaming Unreal list. I’ve been playing exact 60 but may swap sky seal stone for a second forest seal stone

@pokehawkeye It was great meeting you yesterday! Congrats again on the win

@pokehawkeye Great list! I played a similar list to this pre rotation and loved it. Are you seeing enough Lugia for Raiku to be valuable still? My local challenges don't seem to have much Lugia so I've been debating whether to play a list like this one again

@pokehawkeye I like this deck! I played a while and won many games. But I am not good at against Gardevoir deck. Do you have suggestions on that? Thx
