In addition to @bbninjas' suggestions, keep an eye out for Alolan Ninetales which will -probably- be released in Guardians Rising. It has a Safeguard-esque Ability that works against EXs and GXs! I reckon that when this is released in English, the Ability will be translated as Aurora Veil.

Thanks bud. Hope you go on and smash it. Best of luck :)

Absolutely! In addition to the cards mentioned by @mordacazir and @Knite, here are some more Standard-legal cards that accelerate Energy (not many of them have seen much competitve play mind you): Fomantis (Sun & Moon) has the attack 'Synthesis' that, for one Grass Energy, allows you to search...

There are no good Standard-legal cards that do increased damage when your opponent is affected by a status condition, unfortunately. However, that type of attack does exist - most of them are Venoshock and Wake-up Slap. The card that would fit into your deck the most, would be Toxapex from Sun &...

Hold up a second; remember that the Premium Champion Packs released in Japan never made it over here. And thank God they didn't as Seismitoad-EX was reprinted just after we all thought it had gone. I'm of the opinion that The Best of XY will be the same; i.e. released in Japan only with a...

I got the impression that this set is Japan-only and, for @crystal_pidgeot's blood pressure at least, I hope we don't get this. Besides, it would be bizarre to interrupt all of the Sun & Moon marketing with an XY set.

I think it's definitely worth hosting one Expanded tournament to gauge the interest. There has been a big boost in numbers for the last couple of monthly TCG Cups, it would be interesting to see if those numbers stay more or less the same regardless of the format. If it's a success, then perhaps...

It's not just the rise of Decidueye-GX/Vileplume decks, but also the response to it, i.e.: More Wobbufet being played Higher counts of Hex Maniac Garbodor still relevant All of the above hinder Greninja just as much, if not more, than Decidueye-GX/Vileplume. Sure, more Volcanion gives the...

Haha, I like that idea! I also like @jessalakasam's point about Maxie's Mega Lucario :)

I think Oricorio is the pick of the bunch here; it can slip into any deck to improve certain matchups (Vespiquen in Standard, Night March & Flareon/Vespiquen in Expanded). Sandslash-A's Ability isn't bad but the most similar card in recent memory, Slurpuff PHF, had a better Ability and was only...

@WastedSkyPirate 2-0 @normanc GGs mate, sorry about the tough matchup. Best of luck in the next tournament!

Will we be in a position where M Lucario and M Manectric are technically Standard Format legal but can't be used because their base EXs are Expanded only? Messssssy... These cards do look gorgeous though.

Whelp! I thought Lurantis would be included in the set - going to be picking up a few of these blisters instead then!

@WastedSkyPirate 2-0 @Yog Games were played at 21:00 GMT on 23/03. GGs dude, best of luck in the last round! :)

Hello @CarolinaDyrty and welcome to the forums! Rayquaza, Mewtwo and Volcanion are three strong decks, however, from a budget perspective, I would rule out Rayquaza straight away - it's widely regarded as one of the most expensive decks in the Standard format, as it relies on multiple copies of...

Yeah, I had that realisation too. I tend to dislike large, bloated sets because the pool of decent cards are diluted by all the filler rares.

Has there ever been a good Probopass?

TPCi seem to flip-flop from one extreme to the other. We either have the reign of King Garbodor in a world without Tool removal; or we have flexible and easily-deployed Tool removal with a powerful side effect (i.e. Stadium removal). This has the potential to render a lot of passive Tools and...
