    Standard Could This be the Deck of the Future? - Decidueye

    That's not really a reason to gimp your deck for the next six months. Once/if VS Seeker rotates the entire format regarding supporters will change significantly. There's a good chance bursting balloons will rotate also if the BREAK sets are dropped. Some people even think FAC will rotate which...

    Expanded Dark deck help please

    I'm not familiar with PONT, what set is it from so I can look it up? (I've never dabbled in Unlimited play)

    Discussion Will EXs be legal in standard for the 2018 rotation?

    Rotation won't happen for close to six months, and at this point no one knows what it will be exactly so it's too early to say. There's lots of speculation, Breakpoint/Breakthrough-on, Generations-on, Evolutions-on, and the draconian Sun Moon-on are the ones people thing may happen. If anything...

    Standard Could This be the Deck of the Future? - Decidueye

    I've actually found in my Tauros/Decidueye (Standard) and Toad/Decidueye (Expanded) decks that I'm testing I can consistently have two out really quickly (Turn 1 or 2) and a third up a turn or two later. I do agree four is difficult, but I also clog my bench with a Shaymin or two often also...

    Standard Could This be the Deck of the Future? - Decidueye

    4 Olympia is way too many. Try playing with 1 Olympia plus 3 VS Seeker. (4 VS seeker would be better; I would drop one of the PCL for it) VS Seeker allows you to run fewer copies of non-draw supporters as you can reuse them almost at will. You won't want to Olympia every turn, but you will want...

    Expanded Dark deck help please

    Since you labeled it expanded most assumed that pointing out the non-expanded cards would be helpful. Unlimited is a slightly different beast. The trouble with having too many attackers is that it clogs up your bench and hand. A few techs is good, but too many and you hurt your consistency...

    Standard Could This be the Deck of the Future? - Decidueye

    No VS Seeker, Lysandre, Alakazam spirit links, or Float stone/Switch/Olympia for retreat? I love the concept, but there's a couple key cards here you're missing. Might recommend dropping the energy count as 17 is a lot. How does this version of the deck fare when you play it?

    Standard Talonflame Break quick win/lose deck

    Just curious, how are you getting wins when you have at most two playable Pokémon all game? As far as card recommendations go, I would increase the count of your line so you can have more than two in a game. You'll want a full four VS Seeker. Also, drop the town map to 1 since you can only ever...

    Discussion Pidgeot-EX Deck Concept

    By nuke I assume he means anything that can OHKO it or uses ability based damage. Volcanion can hit 220 regularly, Darkrai decks can as well, Lurantis's GX attack, Tauros's GX once he has some damage, also while not as popular anymore Greninja Break also could easily work around it with the...

    Discussion Pidgeot-EX Deck Concept

    It sounds kind of slow. I'll write out some turns to see if I understand what I'm thinking you would do and show what I would do in an ideal game. Turn 1, you have active Pidgeot and one benched, start powering up the benched one. Turn 2, they hit the active, you full heal, attach energy and MM...

    Discussion Pidgeot-EX Deck Concept

    How does Pyukumuku synergize with Mirror Move? It puts the extra damage on the opposing Pokémon, but then the Pidgeot took no damage and therefore can't use Mirror Move. (Well technically he can but for 0 damage.) I don't think they really go together. If you could explain it I could be...

    PokeBeach's March 2017 PTCGO Tournament, Sponsored by TCGPlayer.com!

    A few pages back @PMJ listed the current signups. At this point there are no more "Free" slots unless you're priority from a prior months overflow, but if you are premium you will bump a free signup off and take their spot so if you sign up as premium you'll get in. That said, even if you sign...

    Discussion Which Deck is Better?

    Whichever one wins you more games of course! lol. Ok serious answer is it's too early to tell, GR isn't out yet so we haven't seen how those cards interact with current cards. While we as card players can make assumptions, card players are known for making all the wrong assumptions when it...

    PokeBeach's March 2017 PTCGO Tournament, Sponsored by TCGPlayer.com!

    Most likely just a mistake, which if you tag PMJ like this: @PMJ I'm sure he'll correct it. That's assuming you weren't banned, didn't post enough in prior months, or something else to warrant exclusion from a tournament. I'm not involved with the tournament leadership and am just helping you...

    Standard Volcanion

    The thing with Nest ball is that it goes directly to bench, so the play from hand effect of Shaymin and Hoopa will not happen. Though it could be good for supplemental search for the Volcanion itself.

    Ruling Staff Promo legality question

    "Marked" has to do with if you can tell what it is before you draw it, like if there's a bend in the card or a tear in your sleeve. It has nothing to do with the face of the card. If it did, then there would be rules about needing to have the exact same print of a card if you have multiples...

    Help the best trainer card?

    Well in the current format discarding cards is not a bad thing, as there are many decks that can work from the discard pile almost as easily as from the deck. Ultra ball is the best all around Pokémon search card, but Nest and Dive ball are free search for specific ones. (Basic and water...
