    Standard Sylveon GX (Post Rotation)

    First of all, running 3 Sylveon GX in a Quad Sylveon Deck is far from 'obvious'. Practically speaking, there is a chance of 1-2 Sylveon GX being prized; running 4 is a matter of stability; not overkill. Of course knocking 3 out will give your opponent victory, but just because your deck includes...

    Expanded Dusknoir BCR/Aegislash BKP

    Seems like a pretty good idea. I was wondering about Aegislash's doubling the pain a while ago but I hadn't thought of it in Expanded. Nice one. I think the only major change I would make is to run a 2-1-2 line of Aegislash and add an extra Tapu Koko Promo in place of the Honedge; that would...

    Standard Lapras-GX (Post Rotation)

    In regards to 1-of supporters Post-rotation, I'd say they will be better than they are currently. Lusamine seems to me like a good card; recycle a Stadium if you need to get rid of your opponent's or just lost it to a Field Blower, or just grab Supporters as needed. Should be a 2-of in a lot of...

    Standard Convenience for the Community (A List of Standard Budget Decks)

    That almost seems mean, lol. I could see myself running a Talomflame BREAK deck then having Aerodactyl to tear through anything with Special Energy. Well that's the thing; it may be expensive, but I already have 4 Alolan Vulpix with Beacon(up-traded for them), which is almost as good as...

    Standard Regideck w/ Zoroark (BKT-CRI)

    Honestly don't see this being all that competitive, apart from Registeel hitting Gardevoir GX for weakness and Regice's immunity to Stage 2 attacks(which is no better than Alolan Ninetales' and circumstantial at that). Maybe try Vileplume or Jolteon EX to pressure Basic pokemon, so there's only...

    Alt. Format Imakuni? Theme Deck 4.0 (with Crimson Invasion)

    HAha, well if that's your determination I will respect the jankiness for its own sake. It does make me wonder though, if it's plausible for you to win off a deck out... I mentioned one Cinccino already, but there's one that's a bit older that is similar to Celebi; they have to Flip and get...

    Standard Convenience for the Community (A List of Standard Budget Decks)

    Hmm, this seems helpful. I'm a budget player and appreciate having a compiled resource like this. An improvement on the Poliwrath deck could be to run Hypno(Sleep Babies) then protect Poliwrath with Chaos Tower. A slight complication, I'll admit, but being able to repeat every turn is worth it...

    Alt. Format Imakuni? Theme Deck 4.0 (with Crimson Invasion)

    Hmm, I suppose if they just want to finish things up then they would do that, but to me it raises a question; if your opponent only wants to win as fast as possible are they even enjoying the shenanigans? If the point is to have fun for both then they won't be in such a hurry, and if they are do...

    Standard fight alone lucario

    Thanks, but that doesn't actually do anything to resolve what I referenced; last time I checked Pokepuff doesn't play Pokemon from their deck. So yes, that helps the deck overall, but it doesn't guarantee the early aggression that was being commented upon. If they *do* play Brigette, which is...

    Alt. Format Imakuni? Theme Deck 4.0 (with Crimson Invasion)

    Lol, yeah; I was just saying that if they are enjoying the shenanigan's they might be gracious enough to let you have some cards back, especially if you choose the more ridiculous ones. Also, aren't they really incentivised to let you have the cards precisely because Cinccino is the only decent...

    Standard fight alone lucario

    Hmm, this is an interesting deck, though your 6 cards short so it's not legal... Just add Field Blower, a couple extra Tools and Professor's Letter, Energy Retrieval and some energy. Wouldn't Reverse Valley suit this a bit better than Po Town? You're evolving too and this deck is fragile; I'd...

    Alt. Format Imakuni? Theme Deck 4.0 (with Crimson Invasion)

    Hey, if you're going to build an interactive deck including Crimson Invasion you definitely need to consider the Awakened Heroes Cinccino; its only attack, Great Request gives your opponent the choice between giving you back 2 of your crazy cards and taking 80 damage. Hopefully your opponent...

    Alt. Format Post Rotation; Guzzlord GX/Darkrai GX

    Yeah, I don't think he should bother with Darkrai GX without some sort of switch mechanic. Otherwise I would be looking to run a high Dark Energy count then alongside the new Zoroark GX to filter your draws so you're not swamped by Energy. The Zoroark we have already could help swap out the...

    Expanded Lucario EX

    Oops, just think of Legacy when I see Machamp for some reason. Shaymin isn't Expanded legal either, lol. Shame, though, as there isn't anything in Expanded that would achieve the same feat. Guess Acerola doesn't sound so bad after all, though AZ is still more flexible. Anyway, it seems to be a...

    Expanded Lucario EX

    Hmm. I've been thinking of a deck involving Lucario(BUS) as well; it's something I feel has high potential, but I don't see how it synergises with Mega Lucario EX, and preventing damage the same turn you play a Mega Pokemon is no better than doing it any other time... Before I get to that...

    Standard Talonflame/Beedrill

    Yeah the new Counter support is even better than some of the Supporter's with Prize clauses IMO. Well the idea is to start Golisopod so that your Beedril have time to hit the field. It's not going to help the consistency in any direct sense, no, but simply being an efficient threat and...

    Standard Kingdra

    Yeah, I definitely agree that your best shot is Alolan Vulpix+Ninetales GX. I'd also run non-GX Alolan Ninetales so you can save the GX version as a late game threat(ie this deck has the potential to force them to take 7 prize cards if you play it right). I also agree that Starmie doesn't fit...

    Expanded Altaria Toolbox

    OOoo, Altaria looks like a lot of fun. I wonder; it should be able to put a Mega or BREAK Pokemon straight onto the bench, right? In fact, because you're not Evolving into a Mega you wouldn't even lose your attack... I'm probably most interested in Hydriegon BREAK though; maybe just cheat-bench...

    Standard Talonflame/Beedrill

    It's kind of sad how good they made Alolan Ninetales. I was about to recommend trying Kricketot but why waste an energy just to search an extra poke when all 3 must be type specific(only affects Jirachi/Lele true, but that's kind of a big deal). :oops: Personally I like the Talonflame's; there...

    Standard Lunala GX / Toxapex GX

    Hmm, the changes you might make really depend on what you're trying to achieve.... Is the point of this deck to run Toxapex GX and Lunala GX specifically? I just don't see them as being synergistic beyond the fact that Lunala GX supports any Psychic Pokemon. I'd see Necrozma GX(Prismatic Burst...
