You're way overestimating how survivable a 10HP Gourgeist is going to be.

The problem with M Sceptile EX is finding a good secondary, which means finding a beefy EX that can use Grass Energy AND has a low retreat cost, especially with Float Stone and Keldeo EX rotating out. M Heracross EX seems to synergize well thanks to the healing factor, but it doesn't have a...

After Wailord's success at Nationals we might see a change to the Swiss format that make long, drawn out denial games less viable.

I agree with bbninjas. Raichu, Groudon, and Metal really don't lose much. Not convinced that M Sceptile is going to be as amazing out of the gate that people seem to think it is. I can easily see Giratina being a big flop if the Break mechanic is worthwhile.

Mew EX is the only unfortunate casualty of the rotarion, since it allowed decks with low HP attackers to stand a fighting chance in the 2HKO metagame. Still, I think sweeping it away along with the other problem cards from late BW is worth it.

I have: 1x Lampent 1x Escape Rope 1x Absol (reverse holo) 2x TM's Camerupt (1x reverse holo) 4x TM's Baltoy 3x TM's Claydol 4x TM's Zangoose 4x TM's Great Ball 3x Double Magma Energy Total: $13.64 I want: 1x Seismitoad EX 1x Mr. Mime Total: $13.17

Works in 90% of decks: - 4x Double Colorless Energy - 4x Professor Sycamore - 4x Shauna/Professor Birch's Observation (pick any combination of the two) - 3x VS Seeker - 3x Ultra Ball - 2x Lysandre - 3x Muscle Band - 2x Professor's Letter - 1x Startling Megaphone - 1x Escape Rope Works in ~50%...

I think he means "any deck that uses Vileplume in a support role," since it's a massive global affect. Relax, and don't read too much into it.

I will probably try to polish this turd at some point, but their are plenty of other cards ahead of it on the list.

True. But we've also had Darkrai EX (late in the BW arc), Keldeo EX, Deoxys EX, and a Hoopa EX tin slated for a future release, and those are all arguably support types. I'm not saying that my hopes for a Shaymin EX tin isn't a pipe-dream, but at the same time people might be turned off to the...

I'm hoping that we might see a Shaymin tin around Christmas. Nothing to back that up mind you, but if TPCi are smart then they'll release something that is not only guaranteed to sell, but also reduce the barrier to entry for new players as the format wears on. They have been known to disrupt...

Didn't address my question about Swiss, but I'm assuming that the format is best of three, whoever wins the first game wins the round if the clock runs out, ala M:tG? Sorry, I've played so many variants of tiebreakers (including double loss) that I wasn't sure.

Could somebody explain to me how the Swisd rounds work at Nationals? Because I'm not seeing how a person could deck themselves twice in 50 minutes.

Start investing in PTCGO and participate in online tournaments? The tournaments don't lump players by an imaginary ELO rating like the pickup game system does, so you'll actually be playing against meta decks and (hypothetically) skilled opponents. I'm not familiar with TCG One and how you...

Pretty much this. - If you're at a point where you're still learning the game mechanics, keep buying theme decks. - If you're at a point where you know the mechanics but don't know the "staples" for a deck, keep buying theme decks and start looking at decklists to get an idea. - If you're at a...

Either run enough energy that even if you lose 3-4 you can still OHKO, or run Energy Recycler when it releases in Ancient Origins.

I mean it's an interesting idea, but I think you'll find the deck to be far less consistent than you would like. HOWEVER, if you're playing GPF, then this might be a rare occasion where Forretress is better that 'Bats, since it evolves from a Grass-type. The other struggle is finding space...

I have the following: - Slurpuff 69 - Goodra (reverse holo) - Malamar EX (FA) TCGPlayer price comes to $7.10 I would be interested in trading for the following: - Milotic - Magmortar - Team Aqua's Muk - Reshiram (FA) - Articuno (RSK16) - 2x Pyroar (it looks like you have multiple) - Electivire...

Couple of ground rules: Only willing to trade in the USA. Sorry international people. Most cards are near mint unless otherwise noted. If you're concerned about condition, feel free to ask for photos. Willing to send first if you have a positive reputation. I probably have the lower trade...
