@D2B2WIN1 VS @Gible06 D2B2WIN1 won 2-0. Good games and good luck in round 7!

Besides the obvious ones, it will be cool in M Gyarados and M Blastoise. In those decks, you essentially have 8 Mega Turbo. Energy becomes almost irrelevant at that point, since you can fully power up a Benched Mega with 2-3 of these cards. Otherwise, Regice/Glaceon/Glalie-EX only need a DCE if...

If they want to make Restored/Fossil Pokemon more usable, they could add a Nest Ball-esque card to get those Restored Pokemon in play without dealing with the "Bottom 7 cards" nonsense. Either that or have ways to put Restored Pokemon onto the bottom of the deck, akin to Prehistoric Call but as...

I look forward to my dollar bills fly away and the cards appearing. This set will boost so many archetypes and, hopefully, change the competitive scene quite a bit. Hoping for at least one rainbow chicken, a golden double nuggets, two orders of Lele fries with an Aqua Patch in my packy meal.

That last hand will be in the hall of infamy for me. The first two games were really close, so it evens out. Good games and good luck in your future matches!

@D2B2WIN1 won 2-1 against @BugTrainer Good games. Good luck for the rest of the tournament!

Same to you! Those dead draws were rough in the first match.

Most of the deck is fine after rotation. The main cards you lose are Lysandre, Level Ball, and Hex Maniac. You can replace Level Ball with Nest Ball to get the same effect. Losing Lysandre and Hex Maniac might change your strategy a bit but, you will likely have Acerola, Escape Rope, Pokemon...

In Standard, there isn't much to boost Lightning Pokemon attacks outside of Kukui, Fighting Fury Belt (for Basics) and the upcoming Choice Band against EX/GX Pokemon. That said, there are ways to quickly set up a Tapu Koko-GX, like Max Elixir, Electrode (EVO), and even Magnezone (BKT) or...

For Wobbuffet, it depends on how much Decidueye/Vileplume or ability-centric decks you face, how much you want to counter it, and if you can set up under mutual non-Psychic ability lock for Wobbuffet. Usually, in an Item-centric deck like Vespiquen, at least one or two, three if you want it as a...

Short version: Item Lock. Long version: Wobbuffet and Hex Maniac provide more immediate benefits compared to Garbodor. Since Garbodor takes two turns to set up and a Tool to work, it is a lot of pieces that have to hit before Item Lock is established. If you fail to establish the Ability lock...

There were a few builds of Sylveon in Japan, namely the top 16 Osaka regionals. All of them use Sylveon's first attack in combination with a powerful disruption engine, like Vileplume or Energy Denial, to slow your opponent down. Once you expend most of their resources and/or have a perfect set...

@D2B2WIN1 won 2-1 against @uncleyuri Great games, especially the first one. Good luck in your future matches!

Acerola is our "get out of jail" card. Wailord/Lapras/High HP Pokemon will be pleased. More importantly, Tapu Koko rush sounds like a great deck now. I wish there was a slightly better Lightning Energy accelerator than Magnezone or Electrode in Standard. Then again, Koko/Zone might be viable...

Thank goodness Tsareena's GX attack costs 2 Grass and a Colorless. It can be a devastating card in the right hands, especially with Judge/Red Card/Delinquent in the current and next format. All it needs is the right partner to hit Queenly Command GX at the right time. Lurantis/Tsareena might be...

@D2B2WIN1 won 2-1 against @Jun11b Glad we got the time worked out and sucks that you had those starts. I hope you get better luck in your future matches!

The Best of XY will not hit stateside outside of the possible promos/alternate artwork in the set. On the SM2+ news: Tapu Lele - PCL wants Tapu Lele to be an awesome card, no matter what form. They took Meowstic's Ear Influence, Dedenne's Energy Short, changed the Energy requirements, and put...

I doubt Expanded will ever rotate. Given that they keep releasing more and more products that involve Expanded cards and Expanded tournament attendance is roughly the same as Standard, they will likely keep it BW-on. There is a possibility that they may rotate the Expanded format to XY-on, but...
