    News 'Sun and Moon Strengthening Expansion Pack'

    Primarina GX is so cool. I feel like it's pretty nutty in Expanded with Archie's actually being consistently playable. But I really see the card going off hard next year. Without Lysandre Primarina GX's GX attack becomes absolutely game ending. With us moving further and further away from a...

    News 'Legacy Pin Collection' and Entei/Suicune/Raikou Pin Blisters in May!

    I would not expect them to all be SM cards, since Oddish is not native to Alola. I would assume they will be recent printings, so the new Crobat and maybe the Politoed from SM1+. As for Blissey I think the most recent printing was Phantom Forces, but it is native to Alola, so here's hoping we...

    News 'Sun and Moon Strengthening Expansion Pack'

    Assuming you played Ranger in order to be able to play the Enhanced Hammer. Xerosic might be a better example in your point.

    It only targets the bench, so the active Pokemon is safe from the effect.

    Fam, let's cry together. Both in joy for this stadium, and the sorrow that it is so far off.

    Discussion Evolutions and its effect on the current meta

    Apparently the Stage 1 is supposed to be Lightning type as well, and as such it's synergy with FoGP is weakened. I do think it has potential however, and it might not be too bad with M Venusaur. However, Crisis Vine is [G][G][G][C] and two Vikavolts won't be able to charge a Venusaur in a single...

    Discussion Growlithe Shenanigans

    So what you mean is that you're setting up 2HKOs then? Turn 1: Power Heater+2x Steam Up 20+30+30=80 Turn 2: Scorching Breath 150 80=150=230 You said this was enough to OHKO anything, barring Primals and Wailord, which I believe led to the confusion from @DatSonicAce. Since it seemed implied...

    Blog What's Yet to Come — A Look at Four Viable Decks After Rotation

    So, I play a lot of M Scizor, and I am inclined to agree, albeit partially. Scizor EX can be a pretty solid attacker to deal with Giratina. That said I still think that a one or two of Hex Maniac is a strong play as it allows you to slow set up on turn one and on turns before a Garbodor or after...

    Discussion Decks with Potential for After Upcoming Rotation

    Damage Change places damage counters and is thus an effect of the attack, not damage dealt (hence unaffected by Hard Charm/Assault Vest). It is the same situation as Damage Change being used on Giratina-EX or Regice with Resistance Blizzard, they take no counters, but Mewtwo loses all of its...

    Discussion Decks with Potential for After Upcoming Rotation

    The concept is to use Metal Energy as your basic energy for Emerald Break and also give Mega Rayquaza immunity from attack effects, other than damage, so long as Abilities are not turned off. This includes Damage Change from Mewtwo EX, attacks that prevent attacking or retreating...

    Discussion The Math on Talonflame

    That is true, but it's a fickle strategy to do so. You can only ever cheat in one Talonflame. At that point it is a 2 Pokemon deck.

    Discussion The Math on Talonflame

    In theory that is true, but you cannot run a deck with no basics and 4 Talonflames. Mulligans don't increase your odds of drawing a specific card.

    Discussion Deck Ideas for Steam Seige Toxicroak

    Well keep in mind that rotation doesn't happen until September, so there is a month where the combo is in standard. I think Toxicroaks biggest detriment is Hex Maniac though. Maybe in a year or so we can see it shine if AOR rotates out.

    Discussion Metagame After Rotation

    Keep in mind that Metal Links Bronzong is an XY Black Star Promo as well, so depending on where they choose to cut promos it may survive rotation. As for decks to remain strong or kick in, I definitely think M Ray just keeps all the pieces to remain consistent and go crazy. The only major loss...

    What is your PTCGO screen name? Gracebond What timezone do you live in? EST Did you participate in last month’s tournament? If so, were you dropped from it? I did not participate in the May tournament. Did you make at least two discussion posts on the forums during last month? I am not sure...

    Blog Xerneas: Life in the Standard Format and Sample Fairy Decklists

    Rainbow Road took second at Seattle Regionals. It was an EX focused deck that used Ho-oh EX and Exeggecute to constantly move Pokemon in and out of the discard and recover easily from losing a Sky Field. Ho-oh EX also allowed the deck energy acceleration with Energy Switch to get a Xerneas...

    Japan's XY11: 'Explosive Fighter / Cruel Traitor', CP5: 'Mythical / Legendary Dream Holo Collection'

    No problem, that's understandable. The Mega Garde from this set might be extra annoying for you then! (Assuming it is Psychic/Fairy) Which Xerneas? And may I ask, why?
