Dropping or reducing Reuniclus is a terrible idea. Goth's trainer lock is so daunting because of Reuniclus making Gothetelle nearly unkillable. There's a reason Magnezone decks are a bad matchup. If Goth dies, the lock risks getting broken, and anything can two shot Goth without Reuniclus's help.

Tied up. Been meaning to comment on this one though. One of my favorites from NV. 1. How does this card stand on its own (analyze the HP, attacks, Abilities, etc. of the card)? This card can't do anything on its own save for a desperation prize. 90 HP is alright for a stage one in a stage two...

Thundurus is good in the early game too. It can do a fast 80 and discard for Eelektrik to use later. I'd say run 2-3 if you aren't running anything else for a starter, which may be alright given you run all stage 1s.

^ No. No. No. No. And no again. Four energy search is exceedingly useless. Decks might run one, and the only reason for that over an actual energy is the fact that you can reuse energy search with Junk Arm. With smart play and the right deck, one energy search can be useful. Four however is...

Please explain to me how Shaymin EX is good. Synthesis is a slightly better version of Thundurus's Charge attack, except that there are few grass attackers that run on energy, let alone need acceleration. 60 for two is pretty bad, never mind that it only does sixty as a revenge KO. Terrakion...

Ehhhhh I'd say 50/50 myself. Then again, I've only played one or two decent stage 2 decks.

Without Twins? I don't see how that can happen "a lot", certainly any more than any other T2 stage 2.

Donphan is more of a random threat, but one I don't want to be down against if avoidable. I had thought of Tornadus, and will probably run it when Zekrom EX comes out because a couple DCE might make a lot of sense at that point. Looking at that and what Glaceon said, I do like the idea of...

Guiding Questions: 1. How does this card stand on its own (analyze the HP, attacks, Abilities, etc. of the card)? Terrakion has the all important 130 HP to survive Blue Flare and Bolt Strike, and as a basic, it can use Eviolite, making the chances of a Dragon KO negligible. Its retreat is...

So I've been thinking of a while about Magnelektrik and how soft it is to Donphan. What I wonder is this: Is Donphan, or Donphans and Dragons, played enough as a general rule to warrant a tech of Ruins of Alph in the decklist? Doing so allows Thundurus to two shot Donphan, and Magnezone to OHKO...

Fighting pokemon might see a resurgence because of that, weakness is nothing to scoff at, but there is no denying that NV was most unkind to Donphan, and Donchamp has been dated for quite some time. Most Electric decks will probably have to at least tech Tornadus in such a situation. I'm testing...

The X Ball correction was previously noted. In any case, I can see it pairing well with dragons since Goth is a problem for them anyway, but like I said, I'm not sold on the Gardevior or Celebi engine. The former especially is too reliant on Gardeviors not being dragged out and killed. I guess...

1. How does this card stand on its own (analyze the HP, attacks, Abilities, etc. of the card)? This pokemon tanks pretty well with 180 HP, although the HP is par for the course with the new EX pokemon. The retreat is high, but is also fairly typical for the pokemon's EX status. The attacks are...

1. Hey I did my research. My sources simply clash with yours stated. 2. I thought stuff like Darkrai and other cards were slated for the set after ND? Are we getting all the EX at once? I hadn't seen that here or there. 3. The statement was made based off the theory that X Ball only accounted...

While I think there could be an exception to your statement if a really egregious card was made, your point stands true. I've said before, and will say again, pokemon Catcher is, in a really backwards way, a good balancing agent in this format. Stage 2s become risky, but can be very powerful if...

Mewtwo EX is so overhyped. Yes I said it. I really don't see the appeal of the card, especially depending on the translation. If X Ball does 20x energy attached to both active pokemon, then that's pretty bad, but if bulbapedia's translation is accurate, and it's 20x energy on the defending...

I thought Tyram started teching 2-1-2 Kingdra lines to deal with the lock problem though. Were those attempts unsuccessful? I haven't really used either deck.

I've seen some "ZET" variants in play. They're definitely a different deck from ZPST, though I've seen a couple versions that still try to open ZPS with a 1-1 tech. It's a trade off, ultimately. Eel gives Zekrom a better recovery when Zekrom get's KO'ed, which is great, but it is at a cost of...

You could also consider Yanmega if you have enough cards in your hand to warrant not using Tropical Beach. Two Cursed Drops with Sonic Boom hits for 130...not bad by any means. The downside, however, is having to run the Yanmega TSS engine at least to some degree, and on your next turn, it will...

RE: Have B/W, Primes, Legends, and More!!! Want Magnezone Prime, Mew Prime and More!!! I'm mildly interested in the Raichu Primes. CML if you'd please.
