I heard Kyurem EX was confirmed to be a promo, so it's probably ND.

Mewtwo will be a good tech, but it's overhyped as a main attacker. Just watch.

Maybe not. In fact, depending on the meta, Durant might have a better chance. The matchups are very important, possibly as much as skill or close to it depending on the meta just because of how all the decks work. Skill compensates for the matchups, but short of an absolute tool playing, an...

1. How does this card stand on its own (analyze the HP, attacks, Abilities, etc. of the card)? This isn't much of a standalone card. 30 for 2 is awful. Not Arcanine SV awful, but pretty terrible nonetheless. The pokepower kills Electrode, meaning that if Electrode is alone, the game ends in a...

Well the thing about Engineer's Adjustments is that you might need a different supporter and can't draw into it with EA, because you will have used that spot. With Ninetails, you can use that and then a supporter you draw into. It also gives you options because you can sages and roast reveal in...

I think Sage's and Juniper see more play in more decks than N (Magnezone variants only for the most part, maybe CaKE as well), and Twins (google variants and the like). ZPST, Tyram, and Eelzone all use Sages, and Juniper is a must in most decks not running Magnezone or Twins. Speaking of CaKE, I...

I think Cilan could have its uses, but I think some of the stigma against it comes from the fact that most decks in the format can't really run on it (Eelzone discards, Emboar variants have fallen out of favor, Feraligatr see Emboar), and you're basically blowing your supporter slot on the most...

Guiding Questions: 1. How does this card stand on its own (analyze the HP, attacks, Abilities, etc. of the card)? Zekrom EX, like Reshiram, has an exceptional 180 HP. The attacks are similar to Reshiram EX, but its heavier attack discards two energy instead of recoil. This is both good and...

Guiding Questions: 1. How does this card stand on its own (analyze the HP, attacks, Abilities, etc. of the card)? Like the original Reshiram, I expect Reshiram EX to be a definitive player in shaping the meta upon its release. Reshiram sports an amazing 180 HP, on the higher side of the EX...

Ah, Mewtwo EX, one of the most hyped cards in Next Destinies. I have quite a lot to say about this card. *cracks knuckles* Let's do this. Breaking down the Card This card boasts an impressive 170 HP which is well above the current magic number of 120, and is safely above what will probably be...

Very aware. However, most decks running Raikou are also going to run Eelektrik. The key KO is Reuniclus, which it can one shot. Lock decks lose a lot of their strength without Reuniclus, and are so slow that, especially with Eelektrik, you could build up Raikou again no problem while swinging...

Forgive me, rough day at work yesterday, but I shouldn't have taken it out on you. To be fair though, Seniors, and especially Juniors (unsure on which division you would have been in 2011) is quite different from masters. Either way, I do not agree with pitching RDL. If nothing else, there may...

Trainer lock isn't going to be as big a deal when Dark Rush comes out with the release of fellow EX, Raikou. Raikou can OHKO Reuniclus and two shot Vileplume. Lock decks will become, imho, a pretty poor play. As Celebi said though, if lock was such a huge problem vs switch, we'd have seen more...

Second Magneton could go unless you face a lot of trainer lock. I find one Magneton is usually enough, and honestly, Magneton has a huge bullseye on its back in this format. Dropping Magneton is like signing a death warrant against non lock decks. It can come in handy, but it shouldn't be...

Realistically, some people say its too much HP, but the jump is consistent with the old EX cards when considering the increase in damage. Looking at Typhlosion, the EX has an HP of 150-160, 40-50 more than the regulat Typhlosion, and the average damage back then was nowhere near the 120 for 3...

Well, I know France will be running this card.:P It is kinda unfortunate though, cause Durant, annoying as it was, was a nice rogue, and at least brought something new to the format. I don't think Durant will stop seeing play, because as minimidget noted, when Durant's hype burns out, people...

As its own deck, Empoleon's best choice for a partner is probably Terrakion. Doing 180 against lightning pokemon on the revenge KO, killing anything in the format other than an Eviloted EX (and even those with a pluspower) makes it really hard for lightning players to ignore. However, given that...

Beartic is a pokemon with divided purpose. Early on, people expected Beartic to be a powerful counter to Magneboar, Reshiboar and Donchamp. Paired with Vileplume, the lock was supposed to be inescapable. However, the rise of Megazone, ZPST, and even Reshiphlosion, cast Beartic's use in doubt...

Guiding Questions: 1. How does this card stand on its own (analyze the HP, attacks, Abilities, etc. of the card)? 140 HP is decent, but average for any good stage 2. It's comfortably above the magic number of 120. However, a horrible lightning weakness makes Empoleon very vulnerable to Zekrom...

Indeed. Made it decent for a single damage even before it croaked.
