    Discussion Ninetales

    For those thinking Alolan Ninetail BUS will be a huge hinderance against EX/GX decks, let me give you a comparison. Sigilyph from Dragons Exalted. The reason This Sigilyph was so powerful, was because the top decks at the time were pure EX with no Non-EX attackers. It not only was the wall, but...

    A. If Magearna EX has a Metal Energy attached to it, all Pokemon with Metal Energy attached are protected; however, if Magearna EX does not have a Metal Energy attached to it, its Mystic Heart Ability is shut off and no Pokemon with Metal Energy attached are protected.>>>>(Feb 2, 2017 TPCi Rules...

    How you think that Tapu-Bulu is lower than Ninetails and Lapras is beyond me. You lose nothing, and they lose the Hex Maniac on you. You have Acerola now, and the deck is strong against Ninetails. I don't see any reason the deck shouldn't be tier 2 minimum.

    I like the card, I just don't play it because I don't think there's enough it negates to warrant it. I asked more to see if there was something i wasn't seeing, but if its mainly for GX attack wall and Shadow Stitch, I don't think I'll play it. Mystic Heart (Magearna EX - Steam Siege) Q. If...

    Are you using it for just the GX attack wall? Because there isn't a whole lot of effects worth stopping right now that i can think of. So i'd love to know your reasoning for it.

    It only stops effects from pokemon attacks that affect your pokemon. With Lapras GX for example, it doesn't stop the damage from Ice Beam GX, but it does stop the paralysis.

    The problem with doing less than 180 damage late game is that everything else can do 180+ late game. Look at Metagross for example. People are starting to play Dhelmise at 1 and Kukui just to hit 210 in one turn. That OHKO's Golisopod. However Golisopod has no way to OHKO Metagross back. So...

    I don't think Metagross should be paired with anything. I was saying for months before the card came out that It should just but Metagross/Lele, and everyone said that wouldn't work because of the attack restriction. So everyone wanted to put Scizor, Genesect, even Solgaleo into the deck, but...

    It's main problem is Mid-late game. It's so early game focused, that once you run out of Guzman and other switch enablers, you have almost no damage. Zoroark is easily countered by just not filling up the bench. Its a good Tier 2 deck, but it lacks a grind game.

    Not to mention Necrozma GX is a worse way to play the deck. It gives Garbodor a way to beat the deck, and relies on having three Metagross out at all times. At least with pure metagross, you can use Guzma to reset the attack restriction without having to have all your Metagross on board. That...

    Discussion Tier List for 2018 Rotation

    Your Tier 2 line has a lot of Tier 1 decks in it. Volcanion (Probably the best rush deck in the game right now with Turn 1 Kaiwe+Ho-oh), Metagross (Out of your Tier 1+2 brackets, it has one bad match up in Volcanion and that's it) and Tapu-Bulu (No Hex Maniac, and the deck is already a Tier 1...

    Discussion Standard Meta Tier List

    Most Greninja players I've spoken to would rather play the Brooklet Hill over Vulpix. The reason being that if they ever go first, they would rather see Brooklet Hill for Staryu/Remoraid, than see a Vulpix that they don't want to attack with turn 2. It's a lot like the Talonflame discussion, but...

    Yes and no. If you're playing Vulpix, you would want four of it because you want to start it if you go second, otherwise it's attack isn't worth playing. That's why Talonflame is so good in the deck, if you open it, it helps build your advantage. But if you don't, it's a dead card. The reason I...

    I'm done wasting my time on this. You clearly don't understand why it is bad to play Ninetails, either GX or Non-GX, in a Greninja BREAK deck.

    Lol, Shaymin and Tapu-Lele serve a lot more to the deck than a Ninetails would. The point is, it's a GX pokemon that can be easily knocked out, costing you two prizes, and hurting the grind game that Greninja has. And personally, A pokemon that searches/draws cards and advances my gamestate is a...

    You clearly don't understand how Greninja works if you don't think that the whole point to the deck is the 1 for 2 prize trade. That's why most Greninja decks cut the Tapu-Lele GX and Shaymin EX all together. I'm talking about the GX for weakness. Beacon is only good if you open it and you are...

    It's left out because its bad lol. Let me list the reason you don't play Ninetails GX in a Greninja BREAK deck. 1. Its a GX in a deck that doesnt run GX's. The whole point to the deck is to win the 1 for 2 prize trade, this completly negates that. 2. Metal weakness when Metagross is one of the...
