Overall it looks like there are some really creative card effects in this set, even if they're not really usable. My crappy translation also seemed to say that you have to use a supporter that turn if you have 12 in the lost zone. Oh, I bet React Hammer is a Lost Remover reprint

It looks like it's Shrine of Memories in Energy form

The other Unown looks like you get a win if there are 66 damage counters on the board. That actually seems kind of doable in a casual setting.

Using my phone's crappy machine translation, it looks like unown's ability gives you a win condition if you have 35 cards in your hand??? If true, it's the king of all meme decks. I'm calling it now.

Just looking at the cards, there's a MooMoo Milk reprint.

Whoah! The ability on that Tyranitar is ridiculous. Too bad it's a stage two with wonky energy requirements.

What's React Hammer? Did I miss a spoiler? The name is intriguing. Maybe you can play it during your opponent's turn. It's probably just a Rocky Helmet reprint or something

That's something I realized after I posted :eek:

It'd be nice to get a peek a what everyone's been testing for Post-Rotation without any tournament results tainting deck choices! On a similar note, @PokeMedic is it possible to get metrics on more than just the top 8 decks? It would be an interesting exercise to see what the 'pokebeach meta'...

@Plaquesanta wins against @PrimePokeDaddy 2-0. Good games, excited to test with you! Good luck in the rest!

There's also a Trevenant-Accelgor variant floating around that I like. Not sure if it'd do better than Wobbuffet, but it could catch some newer players off guard. With Mew EX, it can be downright nasty against Buzz. I definitely agree with most of your analysis though. Guzma's kind of destroyed...

I think new variants of Blastoise use Lapras, Wishiwashi, and strong single-prize attackers

I've been playing Sableye since I first heard about it when I got in the game a few years ago. I consider myself an average player, and a pretty okay Sableye pilot. I would not run it in a day-long tournament. Playing the deck can be exhausting in a best of one league challenge! (definitely not...

@Plaquesanta wins against @Julio Penaloza 2-1. Great matches, probably the worst cards prized I've ever seen for your deck in round 3. :( Good luck in the rest of the tournament!

@Plaquesanta wins against @thembert 2-1. Great games. Game 2 was probably one of the funniest late-games I've played in a long time! Good luck in the rest of the tournament!

I'm not saying my list is good by any stretch of the word (waiting till Lonzo is out of the format to test online), but here is my pre-ban version of the list: ****** Pokémon Trading Card Game Deck List ****** ##Pokémon - 17 * 1 Espeon-EX BKP 117 * 1 Marshadow SLG 45 * 1 Necrozma-GX BUS 63 *...

I would try incorporating Necrozma GX with DCE. It gives you access to the most powerful spread attack in the game, and can make for some very short matches. A decklist for a high-placing Japanese deck is floating around online somewhere that really helped me when I was building my Trev deck...

Haha, well I'd be remiss if I didn't mention some alcohol was involved in that thread title

@Otaku to be honest, that discussion about possibilities was kind of what I was going for, though I may not have said it in as many words. After the way this thread has gone though, I'm good. Sometimes you start a thread no one wants to approach constructively.

The likelihood is low, true, but I could see a world where TPCI would want more strategies to be viable in Expanded. It's obvious why they wouldn't want old cards being usable in Standard (they want you to buy new cards), but in Expanded, the exact opposite is true. For instance, there are at...
