Best decks: Zoroark + fill in the blank, Gardevoir, Volcanion. This is my opinion, I'm sure others will provide alternatives. Lots of changes in tournament structure. No more state tournaments, just big regional ones and a massive (1400 players, I was one of them) International tournament in...

Hi Auouch - welcome to the game! Always glad to greet new players. The key word is "this" ... By specifically using the word "this" the designers indicated their intent to allow a player to use muliple Shurikens in a single turn. It is very common for the Greninja player to shuriken at the...

Hi Beachbums, Live streams for worlds: http://www.pokemonchampionships.com/ twitch.tv/pokemon twitch.tv/pokemontcg Looks like first round starts at 1 PM EST.

Greninja is not crippled by rotation, it's crippled by Promo Giratina. If you decide to put it in tier 3 that's fine just don't put it there because of rotation, do it because Promo Tina devastates it.

That's why I took Sylveon to Indy - it definitely takes practice and brain cells to play it right. But there's a path to victory against every deck you'll face, even Metal Decks. Yeah I talk to MarquisEXB from time to time and I hope he posts videos again at some point. I've been having a ton...

Excellent point on the N, Alpha, hadn't even thought about that.

Yeah I think you're right, previously a big part of why I was going first was to avoid the turn 1 Hex; now that turn 1 Hex isn't an issue, I agree, going second is now probably the better logic.

A couple of quick points: I played Sylveon at NAIC and only once went to time in nine rounds. I used to think that you always want to go second, but my thinking has changed and I go first now when I have the option. I don't think it's a big deal, but your opponent gets a turn to play prior to...

So I just want to mention that there's a difference between beginner and budget. Sylveon and Greninja aren't beginner decks. They are complex decks that need to play carfs in a sequence that isn't consistent with other decks. They are less expensive. But I would say a good beginner deck is...

Hey FixxIT welcome to PTCG. Your story sounds like mine. My son had a Pokemon party about a year ago and now I'm addicted. It's impressive that you're taking on Sylveon. It's a difficult deck to play. You have to decide when to disrupt and when to attack. You also have to rub the crystal...

Hey FayID. I' ll let you know how the blue frog and Sylvie do after rotation. I've already pulled off the triple shuriken a couple of times and put together the red card, stadium, deli, torment spray combo as well. The Theorymon here is murky. You could very well be right. But to put you in...

This is my list right now, but I haven't tested it at all. I'm waiting until rotation to unleash this puppy. I did manage to pull off stadium, red card, deli, torment spray in the one match I've played with it. I discarded a sycamore from my opponent's hand... and he promptly top decked...

Good point on the SPE hate AV. And this deck is NOT the BDIF. It has probable autolosses to several good decks - Greninja, Wobbuffet, Grampa, and (as AV mentioned) any deck that runs E Hammers. But it is very good against probably the majority of meta decks, including Gardy, Necrozmagross...

There are a bunch of videos featuring Necrozma with Metagross. Necrozma has definitely become the main attacker. I run 6 Psychic and 4 Metal energy.

I'm having good success with this so far. An important Pokemon to tech in is Clefairy from Evolutions. Metronome is an awesome attack, gives you SO many options. Shout out to ShadowForceTCG for finding Clefairy, that was absolute genius, esp. since Marshadow's GX attack is completely...

I've tried Aegislash a lot in the past - with Trev Break and more recently with Baby Koko, but I'm currently having a LOT more success with Koko, Weavile (BUS), and Meowstic (Generations). As a stage 2, minimum 2 attachment attacker, Aegislash is just too clunky. What is key about Meowstic is...

It happened to me once in 21 matches at NAIC. I run 11 fairy energy and 3 Sycamore. But yes no turn 1 fairy energy = loss.

Love CTC and it promotes the game. Win win.

Just to let you all know, I was able to execute a triple shuriken last night ... or at least I would have had my opponent not conceded. It takes two turns to execute, you've got to Fisherman back energy the first turn and then Guzma the next.

Did a little play testing post rotation last night and was able to execute stadium, red card, delinquent, and torment spray. I discarded a Sycamore from my opponent's hand ... and he promptly top decked a sycamore. I would have been able to do it again later in the game but I grabbed a...
