    'Blue Impact' / 'Red Flash' Japan's XY8 Sets, Next Set Block Titled 'XY: BREAK!'

    It's interesting as a lead Pokemon, but I'm not sure if it's worth the deck space. Freaking amazing for like a theme deck or for someone who wants to make a deck for kids to play, but as a Tiered card it's pretty non-viable.

    Bronzong Variants

    That was posted before we knew we were getting a Float Stone reprint. Obviously, this makes Metal very viable again, admittedly with higher counts of Float Stone (possibly 3 or 4)

    'Blue Impact' / 'Red Flash' Japan's XY8 Sets, Next Set Block Titled 'XY: BREAK!'

    The problem is that Uri won't drop the case and Nintendo won't pay. One side can't conclusively disprove the other so as long as they have the money, the court's will let them keep fighting.

    Expanded Archie's Blastoise (Keldeo EX / Blastoise)

    Tropical Beach is pretty awesome in this deck, as you'll often find yourself out of cards after a successful Archie's. If you're not attack that turn, Tropical Beach is an amazing way to get a good hand going. However, they are $100+ dollar cards for American players (assuming you're American...

    'Blue Impact' / 'Red Flash' Japan's XY8 Sets, Next Set Block Titled 'XY: BREAK!'

    The problem is they could only really release an Alakazam EX or an Abra that allows immediate evolution to Alakazam, which would in turn make Alakazam have a Stage 1's power level rather than a stage 2.

    'Blue Impact' / 'Red Flash' Japan's XY8 Sets, Next Set Block Titled 'XY: BREAK!'

    Eh. Maxie's suffers from losing Exeggcute. Unreliable hand control starts to become an issue, as Eggs get you out of some nasty positions. I think it'll be strong, but Rogue. Hence why we didn't consider Blastoise Keldeo Tier 1 anymore simply due to Archie's requirement.

    Mega Mewtwo Y does not hit for Weakness. The attack specifically states to ignore weakness.

    'Blue Impact' / 'Red Flash' Japan's XY8 Sets, Next Set Block Titled 'XY: BREAK!'

    Fighting Type. Maxie's Hidden Ball Trick makes this card extremely good. 130 for a DCE, combined with Strong Energy, Fighting Stadium, Muscle Band ETC means you're easily hitting for 180 or more. The ability is also pretty good. What this also hints to me is that we're going to be getting...

    Pokemon Competitors Arrested for Threatening Gun Violence at Worlds

    They were barred at the door (the TOs have a list of banned players, when they turn up they get told they cannot compete, but because of the added risk of these players they were barred from entry) before the event even started.

    Pokemon Competitors Arrested for Threatening Gun Violence at Worlds

    Much in the same way if I get up in a airplane and shout "I'VE GOT A BOMB' I'd be banned from flying for life, these idiots involving their guns with an event where 100s of Children were attending will get them banned from Pokemon for life. Like honestly, if they'ed just have the guns in the...

    Pokemon Worlds 2015 Livestream for VG, TCG, and Pokken Tournament!

    Seeing as TPCi are based in America, it's cheaper and easier for them to both host the event in America and give out prizes (prize laws are a right bitch worldwide)

    Alt. Format XY-On: Finishing off this Golurk Deck (Golurk / Eeveelutions)

    So I've got the core of my Golurk deck, but no matter what I do I just can't get it more consistent with the card spaces I have remaining. I've tried everything from Vespiquen to Yvetal. Any suggestions on how to finish off this deck and make it function more consistently? Pokémon: 18 2...

    Pokemon Worlds 2015 Livestream for VG, TCG, and Pokken Tournament!

    I've been trying out the deck on PTCGO. Even as a player not 100% familiar with all the outs to get Archie's Turn 1, I can get T1 Archie's a good 70% of the time.

    Funny thing about rotations. Blastoise Keldeo becomes the top deck of 2015. And is immediately completely illegal in standard.

    And Blastoise Keldeo takes Worlds. Commiserations to Mees, but it's damn good to see Toad lose.

    Blastoise Keldeo. So good it could possibly win Worlds twice.

    'Blue Impact' / 'Red Flash' Japan's XY8 Sets, Next Set Block Titled 'XY: BREAK!'

    I'm never sure about Double Mega decks, purely because of Spirit Links. It makes an effectively stage 1 Pokemon that up the space of a stage 2 Pokemon and two Stage 2's in a deck have historically been inconsistent at best. Not saying it's not possible, it's just gonna be quite an inconsistent...
