Seems kind of like an unwieldly way to draw cards. Draws a maximum of 7, but I can't see a point in loading your deck with 4 copies of these that are useless in early game draws. Pal Padding to throw 1 copy back into the deck to draw it later isn't exactly reliable since...there's only one copy...

Depends on whether or not it gets the little "A" for alternate in the set number or not. Like when N got its 2nd full art at the end of its cycle, it got an A in that trainer collection so that it still rotated on time. We'll have to see the set numbers to be certain, and someone can correct me...

Not really certain how I feel about this just yet. With Zeroara GX and all the electric support in recent/upcoming expansions, this is looking to be fairly strong. That being said, it still gets outsped by things like Ray/Zeraora GX (more specifically, out pressured) and Ray has no problem...

I still prefer the regular art with the background and the attack charging in the mouth, but this is a very good FA.

Full art Jasmine? RIP wallet.

So far SM8 is looking like a tech card set. Nothing worth basing an entire deck on, but definitely a handful of things that can have value in addition to other decks. Heat Factory Prism Star is particularly interesting to me. It turns Lisia into a draw supporter (technically anyway) while also...

Personally I find Lillie + NB to not be a satisfactory way to set up in a Stage 2 deck. Stage 2 decks have a lot more "unplayable" cards on turn 1 than a stage 1 or basic deck, and your odds of opening with a hand that actually draws value out of Lillie is questionable. I've playtested several...

Since you are running a list that relies on passive energy acceleration as opposed to, say, Zeraora GX using its GX attack and then rolling from there, getting away with no or less tools might be okay. I would still say perhaps try and find space for 2 copies of Wishful Baton just to help you...

I'll tango with the supporter ratios as I continue testing. Usually takes me about 5-10 games for me to really settle on whether or not things are working. I will however say the 1 copy of Hala has been fantastic. This deck NEEDS to Sol Burst GX by turn 2 if it wants the right momentum, and I...

Hey Dark Espeon. I have been teetering going back and forth on a 3/0, 3/1, or a 2/2 Solgaleo split, mostly boiling down to the concern that the deck does not have any method of passive acceleration, and it is possible to just straight up brick on energy after you take 2 KOs and discard all of...

Bumping this list once more with updates now that Professor Elm is a confirmed card. Obviously Pokemon Fan Club is getting replaced, and we're also reducing our Nest Ball copies since we are no longer looking at it as a back up strategy. We are very much so looking to open every game with...

Thanks Professor Elm for making evolution decks great again (sorry Pokemon Fan Club)

Professor Elm does sound like a more balanced Brigette assuming the information here is true. 60 HP or less means it's unapplicable to GX/EX Pokemon which addresses that issue Brigette previously had, but it also means that 70 HP Pokemon are left out like Poipole and Wimpod which kind of...

I think this has value as a one of in decks that can fit it and have energy acceleration such as Malamar and Ray GX. The colorless cost gives you an extremely splashable attacker with very reliable damage and type coverage for weakness. For example...if you put Lugia GX in either UNGX/Malamar...

Also want to comment that 4 Rayquaza GX is just mandatory for any Ray GX list, IMO. There are going to be plenty of games where you will open a Ray GX in your active, and that already puts you down 1 ability usage. Running 3 copies means you will expect to use the ability twice during set up...

Well I guess that counts as getting all caught up. It would be nice if increased card pool sets also maybe had 1 or 2 bonus booster packs per box, but maybe that's asking too much.

Right, but I think there is reason to consider the mathematics of the card and the fact that playing it against Zoroark GX will most likely end up hurting you more by virtue of sheer card advantage. It's just one of the variables to consider, but for me if Zoroark GX is popular next rotation...

To a greater extent, if your opponent has a Zoroark GX on the bench and you don't, you simply just aren't going to play Judge.

It depends on the deck. Rayquaza GX is currently the only deck that I would run more than 1 copy in because it plays 4 Ultra Ball and 4 Mysterious Treasure (A good portion of its Pokemon pool requires you to play from hand so Nest Ball is a no go) which helps thin your hand a lot, and since the...

Alolan Ninetales GX L'oreal, because I'm worth it.
