I play a similar deck, I run two skyfields so you can turbo everything out turn one, then replace with a dimension valley to clear your shaymins and hoopa off the bench. Means you can Hoopa, shaymin, shaymin, alakazam, hoopa again for a second alakazam and two megas, maybe a third shaymin, draw...

Manectric + head ringer is an option maybe? I don't like smergle too much as he is an easy lysandre target, I would rather play the rainbow energy and bite 10 damage seeing as your pokemon are potentially unkillable anyway 10 damage shouldn't make much difference in most matchups. Against toad...

I can boil all this massive argument down to one paragraph: Nightmarch wasn't played seriously when LTC was around because it meant they had to reset every turn. People only ever played 1 LTC. Karen means Nightmarch has to reset every turn like LTC which is a proven NM counter. Except this time...

I think an N would be better than judge, it can steal you back games you dead draw for the first couple of turns.

Yeah but an attacker gives up prizes, benched abilities don't put a 60hp pokemon out for easy prizes. Maybe one as a tech, but as you need to put a manual on the dedene you are only getting the same energy as a delphox. For Dedenne to work you need to manual attach 1 energy, then get 2 on your...

Why use landorus when you could use Carbink break? Carbink has more survivability and seems like it was literally made for this kinda fighting deck with high attack costs. Maybe drop the landorus, one hawlucha and a energy retrieval for a 2-2 carbink break line. This allows you to compressor...

I'm using him as a non ex back up attacker in my Kingdra deck, along with Jolteon EX and Glaceon EX they make for a pretty good stable of easy set up attackers that can hit big numbers or stall out.

I can see fairy tool box being a thing again, rainbow energies plus the new Mew, plus the ability to hit so many different weaknesses in a deck. Seems pottentially viable. Can't wait to see what kind of multi type support options are printed as trainers or special energy. Hoping they make...

Thanks for the maths dude, that has changed slightly how I think about constructing it. For repeat pokemon it was gonna be two of each, so two jungle pika two base pika. I don't need every card to be taken I don't think, or at least it doesn't matter if it is. I was going to limit it so...

That's a good point bro, I'm still unsure as to wether I should have more than 4 of each trainer. Some stuff was pretty OP like the energy removal strategies. But some o the card draw stuff might be nice to let more people take. Keep games quick.

Lately they have taken to the idea (which is common among most TCG's) that you can make interesting mechanics by using the discard pile as a resource instead of just a place to put cards that are irrelevant to the game. Most TCG's have one faction or theme or colour or tribe that abuses this...

The key to that sentence I believe is the last bit. "On the whole" Pokemon can make good cards that make a balanced meta game. But those cards make up a very small percentage of a set. Can you imagine them releasing a 200 card set where every card had good/playable abilities, attacks, energy...

Yeah I think that was a typo, it was kinda late when I wrote that, but it's easy enough to find a second Ultra Ball off two shaymins. With trainers' mail and supporters and stuff I don't find my self stalling the second hoopa unless it's prized.

I think four puzzle of time, and 1 super rod and 1 eco arm would be better. You don't need the burst balloon either, it just won't work, you HAVE to be putting down a fresh focus sash every turn, unless you are in a situation you know they can't OHKO you next turn, that's when the muscle band...

Hey guys, was wondering has anyone tried a cube draft with pokemon? I'm thinking of making one for my local play group seeing as I have a playset of base, jungle, fossil and team rocket sitting around doing not much. (A cube draft is a Magic the Gathering originated TCG format where a "CUBE" is...

Use assault vests instead if you wanna be bulky vs nightmarch.

Well, keep in mind it hits for psychic and fairy weakness, that's a OHKO on M alakazam and M Mewtwo and any dragon type it comes across. Plus Dimension valley means it can be done for 1 energy. Play it in expanded with the execute that bounce back to your hand and you are hitting 170 with four...

Ah Otaku, you are very right, but you misunderstood my intentions. I did not claim that a diverse and (reasonably) balanced meta game meant I agreed with the pokemon companies set design (or lack thereof). Good meta =/= good card design on the whole I'm not sure why they insist on making about...

Point taken bro, I hadn't done the maths. Never bothered to climb the ladder all the way because there is nothing I want up there normally. I'm annoyed I didn't see the jirachi promos in the shop. And yeah making generations so hard to collect IRL or in game is such a dick move on the Pokemon...
