Took me a moment to get what you were saying because I've never actually submitted a card without an ability. And my planned entry for November has an ability too... Maybe I have a problem...

To play the Devil's Advocate, unlike most counters, the Lost Zone was a general game mechanic used from DP - BW (iirc) and was defined in the rulebooks. Cards don't need to define the discard pile!

While I understand the frustration with the harshness of judging (and I'll admit, you were a bit strict Spoon :P) I think it's important to remember that any judge will impart their personal preferences on the contest scoring. If we got used to Spoon's judging people might start to complain...

RE: New Ruling Regarding "Defending Pokemon" I've been saying since FUF that Mr. Mime PLF should become a 1-of in almost every deck (INCLUDING those that play Garbodor), and this just reaffirms that. It is by far the single best tech against Landorus-EX.

I suppose introducing passive effects that are not technically abilities is a good way to get around Garbodor and the like. I wonder just how ubiquitous these effects, as well as this new card design, will be.

I would argue that infinite-damage flips such as Darmanitan BCR would not be legal because the attack could never resolve (since you should, by the card text, continue flipping a coin forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and...

And it took you all week to notice! Just kidding. I was rather busy, and I wasn't able to find the time for it. I'll write one this time, as soon as I re-watch the episode tomorrow. All I'll say now is that I really liked this episode, even a bit more than Chapter 5.

I'm fairly certain that all regular 3DS (I don't know about 3DS XL or 2DS) include a 2 GB SD card in a covered slot on the left side of the device. You can pull off the cover and remove the SD card (make sure the device) and then use it as necessary. The New 3DS apparently includes a Micro SD...

It saw some play when it was first printed, as a Plasma-based Mewtwo-EX-Counter. It worked very well with the then almost counterless Virbank City Gym + Hypnotoxic Laser combo. That said, it's not too great now. Even with Dimensional Valley, Shadow Claw is too expensive for most decks...

Between the ubiquity of Lysandre and Hypnotoxic Laser, and the speed of the current format, I don't see Chandelure PHF ever having much of an impact. It's ability is inconsistent (see Ho-oh-EX), it's need for support makes it clunky, and it's simply too easy to get around. In other words...

RE: PokéBeach Create-A-Card: Nov. 2014 - Team M's/A's Pokemon I will do the image-based contest. I may drop out on this, depending on how things go, but I'll put in the effort.

Heracross-EX alone is pretty bad, but M Heracross-EX (Mega Heracross) can be used in a fairly strong deck. M Heracross's attack can easily take one-hit knockouts with the right support. The key part is that it needs a lot of support, which is the primary factor holding it back from being a truly...

I think with Seismitoad-EX around, you can't rely too much on VS Seeker, so going 4 Sycamore/4 N just won't work. The primary thing VS Seeker will enable in this format is allowing you to run tech supporters like Xerosic, Skyla, Iris, Pokemon Fan Club, etc. At most I might run 2 VS Seeker in a...

The practicality of judging is a valid concern with any contest, so I do believe it should be considered here. I've suggested ideas in the past which I only really realized had issues after the testimony of judges, so thank you. That said, I feel the paired contest could be run without any...

I'll make my traditionally specific suggestion which never gets received well and suggest that we do paired entries. Each entrant would be grouped with another with the goal of together submitting two cards that somehow work together strategically (i.e. have synergy). Points in creativity may be...

RE: PokéBeach Create-A-Card: Oct. 2014 - Ghost (Submission Deadline TONIGHT) Sorry I'm late. You can find the raw art (in all its wonderful translucent glory) used for the card here.

That's a loaded question. A better question would be "What does everyone think of Mewtwo being given out as DLC for registering both the 3DS and Wii U versions?", and then you might add your concerns or positions in a second sentence. Right now you just sound sassy... And as for my position...

I think this is a good move overall, but if it must be executed well the first time to stick with the community (I feel). I think one of the more important losses here is the ease of use of the "Does this forum have new posts in it?" image next to each one. By making each forum more general...

Mewtwo is being added as DLC because he, as a character, is not finished yet. He cannot be "incorporated into the games as a secret character" because he doesn't yet exist to be incorporated. The only reason we are able to have Mewtwo in the game at all is because he can be added in later via...

This season keeps getting better and better...
