No DDE is fine, but I'll be appalled if they make this yet another Dragon focused set just to print more garbage cards. Like others, really hoping that Kingdra GX is a better PLF or BUS one.

Salamence seems underwhelming for sure, but Dragonite doesn't look half bad. Neither of them are worth playing if DDE isn't reprinted. At least these GX cards can actually take consistent knockouts when they get set up, unlike Kommo-o.

I played against a Chomp deck in Expanded recently that was running a small Dual Brains Magnezone (PLS 46) line in place of the Lucario line in order to compensate for having to spam Cynthias. It was definately clunky, but it was a far closer matchup for me than any other Garchomp variant I've...

Still disappointed that the new Ultra Beasts aside Naganadel didn't get into this set. I guess they'll be the chase cards for SM6+ which is annoying. Maybe we can get a Chesnaught GX there as well?

It depends, really. Tapu Koko is great, it helps you get easier math on knockouts on multiple Pokemon, and the longer your opponent takes to get rid of it, the more damage you get to do. Pheromosa has free retreat going for it as well, but its attacks aren't spectacular. If the new Zygarde GX...

Well, sadly Aurorus and Tyrantrum still aren't good enough to warrant using them. I was really hoping we'd get something good to come out of Unidentified Fossil being in the game but so far it's a bust.

Hmm... I never actually thought of Mew or Marshadow, that's a good tip. Thanks! I just got the Zoroarks recently and I'm still getting used to drawing through it, so yeah, I probably will change the Supporters around. I admittedly used to do much better with this list before Zoroark came...

Very funny Expanded deck to mess around with, I've personally enjoyed playing this on PTCGO and thought to share. Pokemon - 16 4 Farfetch'd EVO 2 Druddigon FLF 2 Tapu Lele GX 2 Oricorio GRI 56 2 Zorua 2 Zoroark GX 1 Mew EX 1 Marshadow GX Trainers - 34 3 N 2 Professor Sycamore 2 Colress 2...

The Platypus definately wins the "Should be next Water Starter" award. The others look bland. I remember seeing a few of these 'Confidential' stamps in the fake rumor thread, so theres no way these are real but still. Would like to believe that water one....

So Dragon Shield is still good, huh? I used them back the last time I was playing (roughly 3 years ago) and I liked them. Good to know that they still have good quality.

Good point. This set is definately worse than just Lysandre and Blacksmith. Would really wish they stopped with the filler sets, not only would it make these reveals more entertaining but it would actually give me a reason to do pre-releases again.

Wow. This set is genuinely terrible. It's basically only going to be the stuff from SM5+ and maybe Ultra Necrozma and Malamar that will sell the set when it gets to us. A lot better than Evolutions, mind you, but only slightly better than Flashfire.

Yeah, they both are garbage. At least the old Yveltal EX was great; Xerneas has yet to get an EX or GX worth using.

I agree with the others on their points, but I also suggest finding room for another Dawn Wings Necrozma, since retreating to re-attach Energy is very important in the deck, and if you don't have a Guzma in hand and/or your only other Dawn Wings is prized you have few ways of getting Ultra...

Well, there is a Xerneas, interesting. But anyways, whatever they decide on for the last GX, it needs to be GOOD. Yveltal and Xerneas are weak GX's, Zygarde exists around a combo which is essentially a cheese (and a very breakable one), Lucario is meh and we still don't know what Greninja does...

Hate to burst your bubble, but there is absolutely no guarantee that Xerneas GX will even be in the set. The Chespin line has been ignored, and you know they'll save some important chase card for SM6+. There isn't a reason why the last GX's will be from Kalos, either. The set may have a focus...

I think it's best to just take things one step at a time. People worried a lot about Shaymin rotating, but we got Tapu Lele GX just before it left. With Forbidden Light and possibly another set being released before rotation I would say it would be best to see what the upcoming sets have to...

Can't wait to not see Gardevoir ever again.

Well, the effect on Lysandre Labs sucks when it comes to synergy with Pyroar for taking away Choice Band's effect, but at least this Pyroar has an attack worth using. If you decide to run Pyroar Break with this, you do have access to a nice ability and a good second attack from this Pyroar, and...

Buzzwole isn't tier 1, the only deck it has a decent matchup against is Zoroark. It does too little damage against the other archetypes for them to care about it.
