    Help When Should You Use N?

    N is a card that has A LOT of nuance and application. In control decks, it's basiclaly a Cynthia AND a Reset Stamp rolled into one. I can speak for every scenario, but here's what I typically assess for when to use N outside of a "you have to use it now for resources" - Whenever the opponent...

    Discussion What’s the best budget deck that survives the rotation?

    Gengar & Mimikyu-GX / Omastar is a deck I have my eye on. That new Stadium that helps Fossil Pokemon CAN help it out, but I'm on the fence about it. It's a deck that can do well, but it's probably a meta-call, at best

    'Alter Genesis,' 'High Class Pack 2019' Sets Announced for Japan!

    Hot take on the "Tag Team Supporter": I'm all for new mechanics, but I can see the Tag Supporters going in two directions. And these effects can be looked at on a sliding scale. For this example, garbage effects could be on the far left side, and something game winning could be on the far...

    An Anonymous User Accurately Predicted Today's 'Pokemon Sword & Shield' Info

    And all I can think now is Vinnie Jones from Eurotrip as the Team Yell leader. MAAAAANCHESTER UNITED! I wonder if there will be a mechanic to where if you’re not sporting the right uniform in certain Poke-Pubs, you get mugged or lose half your items/money or something.

    I’ll bet a Gold Star Celebi that the hinted at UB Tag Team is Kartana and Celesteela.

    Discussion Expanded meta

    Malamar having 90 HP means that Archie's Blastoise will turn your deck into festive, purple confetti. They all utilize Magikarp and Wailord-GX, and it's GX attack can wipe out Benches. Lik,e I'm not sure how you recover from Towering Splash GX. Archie's Blastoise is one of the top decks...

    Expanded Three Strikes Yikes! (Slowbro/Victini) (For Seniors)

    I did some proxy testing last night (I don’t have PTCGO) again Hitmonchan / Wobbuffet, as well as look at the Hartford Regional Day 2 decks and throw ideas against that. Here’s what I have: - The Pokegear 3.0 engine I use here is the same that I use in a control deck. The numbers are sound...

    Discussion Expanded meta

    Malamar has problems in Expanded. We can start with Malamar's 90 HP and Archie's Blastoise with the whole Towering Splash GX thing. Ultra Necrozma-GX does seem appealing, but I fear that you'd need to get a good draw and set up quickly to do it and it seems like it'd need to start T1 to stand...

    Expanded Three Strikes Yikes! (Slowbro/Victini) (For Seniors)

    Ok. So it's a bit too early to tell as of yet, but my daughter wants to pick the game back up again, but will only play decks that fit the following criteria: - Is it annoying? - Is it embarassing to lose against? She is a control player at heart and has played a $50 Wailord EX control deck...

    Discussion Expanded meta

    I think Unbroken Bonds is going to shake the meta up a bit. Looking over Unified Minds, I'm trying to figure out if any new deck could be a thing. There's some more Item lock options in that set, so theres that. - Pikachu and Zekrom-GX is still top tier, I don't think there's anything that's...

    Discussion Expanded Darkbox... Is It Viable?

    My issue with ZoroNinja and the new Weavile-GX and whatnot is this: ZoroNinja + Weavile has a similiar strategy as Rayquaza-GX builds. If we are looking at things in a streamlined, cup/regional standpoint; what does this deck have that Rayquaza-GX doesn't.

    Question: What's your experience? How long have you been playing? What format? What division (Juniors, Seniors? Masters?)? What are your goals (do well in cups? win a regional? Day 2 a regional, etc.)?

    'Detective Pikachu' Exceeds All Expectations! (A Full Review, Very Minor Spoilers)

    I want to know the changes. Like now. Just intersperse the spoilers in the actual news. “Here’s the translation for Mew & Mewtwo-GX. And by the way, the sled was called Rosebud.” Something like that.
