Yes as, while in play, Rainbow Energy counts as every type of Energy (including [L]). In this way you could also move other Special Energy that count as [L] when in play - such as Electrode (Evolutions).

So... For this month's contest, I chose the evolutionary line of one of the Pokémon world's first beginner Pokémon! Back in RBY, if you chose Charmander as your starter, then you pretty much had to raise up one of these bad boys to help you take down the first Gym Leader, Brock. So, for me...

GGs mate - all 3 games were very close! Best of luck in the rest of the tournament :)

Yeah, the biggest problem will be setting up a continual stream of Gyarados. As others have mentioned Broken Time Space was the reason the Tail Revenge deck worked back in the day. Mind you, at 150HP, it's not inconceivable that the opponent will be limited to 2HKOs on your Gyarados.

That's a really good point. A single copy of Turtonator-GX will probably fit into everyone's Volcanion decks now as it gives the deck another way to accelerate Energy and also a GX attack, which was previously missing. I hadn't thought it would be another workaround Vs Jolteon-EX, but you're...

God that Gyarados artwork is gorgeous! I would have tried to use it just for the look of the card but the attack is going to be great too. A big throwback to Tail Revenge Gyarados (which I also loved) - can't wait to build a deck around this. Also, 150 HP for a non-EX/GX Stage 1 is very good...

I haven't watched anime in a long time but the ones prominent in my memory are Cowboy Bebop, Neon Genesis Evangelion and Afro Samurai!

The question here is whether TPCi will be replacing Shaymin-EX with an equally powerful consistency card - the answer is "probably not". However, we're still quite far away from a rotation and we'll have more sets dropping in the meantime, so it's impossible to give a definitive answer. Though...

Add another Escape Rope for the coveted Escape Rope + Lysandre workaround.

By the way @crystal_pidgeot, you might be interested in this. Jason Klaczynski gives a great account of the history of the game and reading that inspired me to go back in time and party like its 1999. Which I promptly did by proxying 4 of the decks. Besides the nostalgia, it's a great a format...

@Yog In CS2 I'm just using Free Transform to scale them down on the default settings - it's working without a hitch. Anyway to revert to default settings? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ That's a good spot. When you refer to Victini's Ability, are you referring to the Victini printed in Guardians Rising? If that...

@Mr. Rhyperior I see this as quite the opposite of an extended Standard Format. To me, this is TPCi -sensibly- finding a way to release alternate artwork cards, that would have been Japan only, in the West without undermining the new direction for the Standard Format - hopefully one that's a...

I'll admit, I didn't join the dots that the entry cap is related to the work that goes into judging but you're absolutely right. Great call to limit the contests to 15-20 participants. Not only must it take a lot of time to go through all the entries but it must be bloody hard to be consistent...

The new art looks great. With the news that reprints will be dubbed "Alternative Prints", thus keeping their original set number/legality, etc. I wonder whether these reprints will also get the 'A' stamp?

This is great news for continuity and the health of the game. It would have been whack to pollute the new direction envisaged for the Sun & Moon block (GX Pokemon, etc.) with old mechanics. Good move from TPCi.

Hi @marcoramius74! Unfortunately, I don't believe there is a card in the Standard format currently that has the Ability to freely transfer damage counters (plural) between your own Pokemon. The last card to have the Damage Swap Ability was Reuniclus from the Black & White expansion (later...

Thinking about this card in the context of the Garbo-threat; I wonder how much it will see play. Glad to see it reprinted, as there's a lack of "bounce" cards in the format right now, but perhaps coin flip item cards will be too risky after Guardians Rising. Let's wait and see. Guess it will be...

@Deku @TylerRVG Thanks again for the advice guys. When I get back from work, I'll have a search for Photoshop (Google & eBay). I'm sure I can find a copy in plenty of time to get my entry together for this month's CAC.
