Very nice article, Mega Mewtwo/Garbodor was a play I tried last season and it didn't do too badly. I do believe that Mega Gardevoir is an awful matchup for this card though, OHKOing Mewtwo for just 2 energy with Despair Ray.

You can break the lock then play your deck's strategy by using Lysandre on the Garbodor, KOing it, and then continuing next turn. The fail-safe to prevent the card being broken is the fact that it has only 100 HP and Lysandre exists. If you KO that Garbodor and they don't have a Trubbish on the...

I've not disregarded everything you said, I agree that Garbodor will be very good - I plan to run the card myself next season, and do believe in its effectiveness - I just don't think it's broken. I especially agree that problem cards should be banned, even in a game like Pokemon that doesn't...

If you want to play competitively, you should anticipate that players ARE going to play the best cards and the best decks with some innovation here and there, and should plan accordingly. Maybe this means running a 2nd Lysandre if your deck's that weak to Garbodor, maybe it means playing a...

What non-rogue deck can't Lysandre a target and deal 100 damage? I can't think of many decks that will be big next format that struggles doing 100 damage without the use of abilities. Greninja is the only one that comes to mind, maybe Zygarde. Mega Rayquaza's going to be huge and that drops most...

Decks that revolve around getting Garbodor out should get it out turn 2. I played M-Mewtwo/Garbodor a bit last season and I could consistently get a Garbodor up and running on my second turn - only rarely did I miss it. So it's certainly consistent. In my opinion he's more useful than useless...

Drop it into a Reshiram/Giratina build for an easy-to-power-up attacker. Why do people dismiss cards so quickly?

I think it'll improve Rainbow Road. It turns Hoopa into a +120 damage boost for one, (Grab Shaymin, another EX and Volcanion EX, plus Hoopa) let alone the likes of Volcarona and the aforementioned Galvantula that can be splashed in.

First decent promo Mega? With Paralysis, they cannot retreat, but they can rush in and retreat with something like Zoroark. Maybe Garbodor is a good partner, and Stantler for finishing blows?

I just started building and testing Rainbow Road Xerneas, so I'm pretty happy this is happening. Volcanion's gonna be nice for that.

Escape Rope + Lysandre may be a decent idea, especially in a deck with Zoroark where you can just switch back to your main attacker. Or Manaphy-EX.

Interesting way for Vespiquen to fill up the discard pile once Battle Compressor rotates...4 of this + 4 Unown is 100 damage. And, even if your opponent uses Karen, it's not entirely impossible for you to get all of these back in the discard within a turn or two either.

Premium Champion set deconfirrrrrmed....? ...pleaaaaaase?

Why does female Pyroar get no love? :/ Far better than the male in my opinion. How good this is depends on the pre-Break, imo. 180 for 3 isn't too bad, though.

I dunno, a 2-card out to something that walls your Giratina? I guess Escape Rope has more versatility though.

This + Lysandre is a decent counter if a Jirachi's walling your Special Energy attackers.

Pyroar's second attack seems to be 3 for 90...kind of low, but I assume the Break will make up for it. I really love Pyroar as a Pokemon, so I'm hoping this is good...

Drifblim incoming <3 one of my favourites.

The "4th wall breaking update"

NM will still be powerful because it's a 1-prize attacker deck that hits high amounts for a single attachment. Karen will, however, change its playstyle somewhat if it is teched into opposing decks. NM won't be able to throw the entire deck into the discard on the first few turns and then Puzzle...
