The format needs more hand killing, hands have been out of control for a while now. I like that we’re getting a lot of new options for disruption from these newer trainers beyond the basic N/Judge prototype

Just get the Rayquaza Among the Stars mat on Pokemon Center. It’s not only way cooler while having matching sleeves and a matching deck box, but it’s also cheaper Edit: It’s out of stock there but you can still easily pick it up on TCGPlayer or eBay

United Wings!! And hitting Charizard for weakness too? And you can throw a 1-of Decidueye in too for card draw. I hope this deck becomes more of a threat now that United Wings can get up to 320 and easily one-shot Charizard

Wow. This was a weird situation that they solved really well; I can’t even think of a better solution than this. This is the smallest set we’ve had in a while, in a good way. I was expecting this to be a bulk set full of those terrible Battle Academy cards we never got alongside a bunch of other...

Pretty terrible. Completely outclassed by Scoop-Up Cyclone

It would be awesome if we had tool recycling cards better than Roseanne’s Backup or Cyllene to be able to consistently do this. If some sort of item-based tool recycling does get printed, this might actually be a deck lol

I can’t wait to play Festival Lead Control with Thwackey. It’s definitely better than Pidgeot Control imo (have Swirlix or Goldeen with Rescue Board in the active and 3 Thwackeys on the bench, and you can search for THREE cards every turn, rather than one. And it’s a Stage 1, not a Stage 2. No...

I personally think it's a good thing collectors seem to dislike these sets, as someone who appreciates the newer Pokemon designs. More for me lol

Fezandipiti ex is insane

Not too interested in this app. I understand the intent, but it does make me wish that they would put more resources into the actual TCG’s online service before creating a pipeline for casuals

I’m curious when Flamigo ex and Garganacl ex will become a thing in English, I was assuming they would be dumped into this set. I want to make my funny Garganacl ex deck lol

Have also been considering playing Pidgeot, but will need to get a lot of practice in beforehand. This is the first control deck to be this viable in years, and I’m unsure if it will survive rotation, so I want to try it out before that happens

This is a very weird situation. I hope the special set isn’t disappointing

Always love the arts on these! Bet we’ll be seeing this as a blister promo or in the dragon special set later this year

The past few SV sets have been very unpredictable in terms of their value, so I have no idea how much this set will be liked by collectors. What I do know is that, as a player, this set looks super fun, so I’m hoping that prices are low because I’m gonna want to try a lot of decks lol
