    Depends on what you consider banned. Yu-Gi-Oh limits in formats more than bans. There are formats that have forebidden cards, but are limited in other formats. I haven't seen any Yu-Gi-Oh cards that are officially banned in all formats.

    Very true. Wizards of the Coast bans a lot more cards than any other card game out there.

    Standard Durant / Mew

    I want a mill deck to work so bad and I think we're getting very close to a good one. Here's what I would do with the deck and I'll explain why. Pokemon (10) 4 Mew 2 Bunnelby 3 Durant 1 Houndoom-EX Trainers (44) 4 Professor Sycamore 3 N 2 Team Flare Grunt 1 Delinquent 1 Brigette 1 Xerosic 1...

    Expanded Gengar EX / Trevenant

    The thing all Trevenant decks have to watch is the Shaymin EX counter. They can just keep running sky return every turn and there's nothing you can do because you never hit for enough damage. The only way to counter it would be N or Judge and hope they don't pull their Shaymin and a DCE, but...

    Standard Manectric/Bats - First Timer

    I'd drop Giovonni for a Brigette. That's a nice T1 supporter to play to be able to get 3 zubats on the bench right away. Other than that seems like a pretty solid BATMAN deck

    So your argument is that Night March isn't fair because it's too fast because of battle compressor's, which they get from draw support, but taking Shaymin away wouldn't be fair because it'll slow it down because your draw support wouldn't be there? Sounds like you're arguing into a circle. Yes...

    Pokemon maintains a large selection of viable decks. There's viable decks of almost every type that can be played. The problem is that the consistantcy of Night March is so good right now that a lot of people play it. When a lot of people switch to a certain type of deck your list of viable...

    Night March has won 17 of the 33 state championships so far. So apparently it's beatable. Like I said. If 50% of people are playing Night March, there's a 4/8 chance or 50% chance it will win the finals.

    Not killing 8 per turn, milling 8 per turn. With the new Mew you can use any pokemon's attack on your bench for the cost of the energy of the attack. Since Mew is Psychic, with Dimension Valley and a rainbow energy attached you can use Durants attack to mill 4 cards off their deck for the...

    You must not have opened up a Fight Night Yveltal yet... Bye Bye 4 prize cards in 2 turns. Jirachi?! Oh no, you're DCE is gone and you can't do damage to me next turn from attacks... I still am finding it hard that a deck that can be easily played and cheaply made is so bad for this game. If...

    I find it hilarious that people are hating on a deck. You talk about every deck that can counter NM but you explain how to counter that deck. It all sounds very simple with the way you describe it, but yet somehow NM isn't winning everything. So what should we do if a deck is played a lot...

    Blog Night March in Standard - What It Is, Why It's Good, and How to Counter It

    I agree with you completely that Pyroar would not be a good play right now, mainly because of the decks that are out there, and that it would not fair well against the ones that you listed. Which I'm kind of glad and sad at the same time. I do like myself some play of Pyroar, but at the same...

    Blog Night March in Standard - What It Is, Why It's Good, and How to Counter It

    Just because hundreds of people aren't playing it doesn't mean someone can't or won't. I played a pyroar deck at cities and went 3-3 for just seeing it and playing it that day.

    Standard Houndoom EX / Bunnelby

    WastedSkyPirate is correct. Mew's ability allows him to use the attack of other pokemon as long as he has the required energy. Dimension Valley allows Psychic pokemon's attack to cost 1 [C] (colorless) energy less. Sadly Houndoom EX cost 1 [R] (fire) energy to play. However, Bunnelby's...

    Blog Night March in Standard - What It Is, Why It's Good, and How to Counter It

    I think you're missing some heavy draw support in both night march decks. A staple to night march is the ability to be setup to do enough damage to OHKO in 1 turn. The problem I see with the DL you provided is you really only have 5 cards that will draw you more than 1 card (1x Shaymin, 4x...

    Standard Seismitoad EX / Manectric EX (or Jolteon EX)

    How much is a strict budget? Shaymin's and Jolteon's are going to put you around the $120 mark. All together in just Pokemon you're probably looking around $150. And that's not even the FA ones.

    Standard BatMan (Manectric EX / Seismitoad EX / Crobat)

    I personally only run 1. It's a nice to have, but I wouldn't say it a NEED to have. You have other options for the deck to play besides getting bats out. If all else fails, it can come later in the game.

    Standard Maxie's Garchomp

    Seems like a lot of this deck is revolving around Garchomp setup which is going to take too long in my opinion. Not to mention he only does real damage against EX's. With the Meta the way it is, I'm going to guess you're only going to see an EX deck 50% of the time. Of course you'll see...
