    Discussion Standard Meta Tier List

    By your logic of "it would've cut more" you would've had to do the research into what decks have cut where, and clearly you haven't. Greninja took top four at Indonesia in May BTW and top 32 in Birmingham in June. I can read it, and agree/disagree with points he made, and go back and fourth...

    Discussion Standard Meta Tier List

    Couple things here. 1. I don't know if there has been other tops in other regionals/tournaments, I haven't looked into it that far. Regardless, its still a tier 2 minimum deck. 2. Just because someone tells you how to beat a deck, doesn't mean it always will. Its called layering, They know how...

    Discussion Standard Meta Tier List

    lol wut It has. It took 4th in Mexico City like a week ago. Edit: OIn the subject of Mexico City, Zoroark BREAK, a deck you could technically count as a stage 2 deck, also was in top four. Take a lap.

    Discussion Post-VS Seeker Supporter and Item Line

    So, once Rotation hits, we lose VS Seeker. This mean you can't Sycamore/Ultra Ball Supporters away without getting punished. Knowing that, what do yo think the "Staple" Support and Item lines will be? For Supporters I'm thinking this: 4 Sycamore 4 N 2 Guzma 1 Skyla As for Items, I think Field...

    Discussion Post Rotation Musings

    That i agree with, it's not Toad-Lock, or anywhere near it. One thing about Noivern is that you may never get his second attack/GX attack off because of the energy difference. If I was gonna break it down in depth here's what you're looking at: Double Dragon Energy allows you to play...

    Alt. Format Kingdra/Tapu-Koko Post Burning Shadows

    I was thinking of adding Drampa GX in here, but here's where I'm split at. I'm trying to figure out the ratio of how many times you're going to use Kingdra's first attack vs his second. If im not gonna use his second as much as I think, and basically use it to get multiple kills in one turn...

    Alt. Format Kingdra/Tapu-Koko Post Burning Shadows

    With more cards being announced for Burning Shadows, one caught my eye. The new Kingdra. Here's a quick take on the deck. Keep in mind this is POST-ROTATION. (Assuming its BREAKthrough on) Kingdra – Water – HP140 Stage 2 – Evolves from Seadra [W] Brine: Choose 1 of your opponent’s Pokemon with...

    Discussion Post Rotation Musings

    I think people are over-estimating how much losing DDE will hurt Noivern. To be honest, I don't think it will hurt him that much. 9 times out of ten, you want to use his first attack with is Dark>Colorless, so its a two turn set-up. Now losing Double Dragon will hurt the One-Energy-Item-Lock...

    Discussion Standard Meta Tier List

    Greninja is Tier 2, close to Tier 1. Its biggest threat was Garbodor Garbotoxin, but now that that's not a focus point in decks like M-Mewtwo, and Mega decks are all but gone save M-Ray, Greninja has good match-ups against everything else. It has a good Garb/Espeon Match-up because it doesn't...

    Discussion Standard Meta Tier List

    Again, because of the stat power of the Stage 2's. Look at the power of all the S2's in recent years. Have any of them had 180+ HP and been able to OHKO any EX without some EXTREME set up? No, because S2's were not on the same stat level. Now they are, and you can see the success. You're putting...

    Discussion Standard Meta Tier List

    Um, what? Greninja, American Gothic, Blastoise/Keldeo, Vileplume, all within the last 5 years. One placed second at worlds last year. The Stage 2 aspect isn't the problem, its the fact that all EX's were Basic's or Stage 1* (*Mega). They didnt have a Stage 2 that could match an EX's health or...

    Discussion Standard Meta Tier List

    I don't understand why people thought it was a sleeper deck to begin with? I knew from seeing the card it would be good. Built in Energy Acceleration, an attack that can OHKO EX/GX, Type Advantage in that it resists psychic. Was everyone thinking that JUST because Volcanian is near Tier 1 the...

    You're missing a deck: Zoroark BREAK/Drampa https://ptcgdecklist.tumblr.com/image/161473706458 It took Top 4 in Mexico City Regionals and Madison Regionals.

    Discussion Tapu Koko GX

    Depends on a few factors. How much of your area meta is Big Basic decks? How much is GX and EX based? These all factor into where you're headed as far as deck direction goes. If you have a lot of Big Basic decks, (Volcanian, Darkrai) then you should find more a Jolteon EX/Tapu-Koko GX style...

    Standard Solgaleo-GX/Rayquaza

    Couple things here, since I too play a Galeo deck IRL: 1. 4 Rare Candy: You have to play four. You need to use Galeo's GX attack turn two (we will get to your energy line later), otherwise you're too far behind. To be totoally honest, in ANY Stage 2 deck you need four RC, unless it's a VERY...

    I think the Espeon build is definitely better. It has access to the weakness trio, and this attacks are more well rounded.

    Standard Solgoleo GX/Rayquaza GUR

    You could always switch it out for Reverse Valley or some other stadium. Like I said, there's other tool options, you can so what you want with it.
