"broken" game elements does not necessarily close up design spaces. Most, if not all "broken" mechanic is type specific so if you want to make a card that might be abusable by say baxcalibur, you just don't design that card as a water type. Only "broken" mechanic that was recently released that...

Basics and stage 1s need to be good attackers otherwise every deck devolves into a stage 2 deck. Unlike digimon, evolution isn't the entire personality of the franchise, some pokemon evolve, some don't. It's entirely fair to want to make Basics and stage 1s viable decks to build around. What...

your post implied that they gave up in the gimmicks but that's clearly not the case as they revealed these cards. The knockout condition is like a pseudo move into active condition because when you're knocked out you need to move a pokemon into the active. That's why I said pseudo, it's not a...

We've seen roaring moon ex utilize significant amounts of water energy just for rad greninja. This walking wake can slot well into this archetype and allows you to use a single prizer that hits harder than morpeko. 180 is still solid for a single prizer as you can still roaring moon ex them for...

Walking wake literally self damages... Iron leaves also has a pseudo move into active gimmick as well... Not the smartest comment to be making on this particular post...

yea makes you think twice about just having an arven engine to start your game. You'll need actual draw supporters to get out of a 3 card hand on your second turn of attacks as you might not have bibarel online at that time.

bloodmoon is more cracked than rad zard because you can use bloodmoon in literally any deck. radZard needs fire energies to attack and competes with rad greninja for the rad slot.

You literally just start off with a single prizer in the active and it doesn't matter. Decks like chien pao and miraidon, really the only other two prize centric decks can easily put a single prizer in the active and then can easily get a revenge ko. Afterwards, moon needs a stadium every turn...

I think the main problem is how low the damage reduction is. 70 is enough to knockout small basics but 50 damage reduction and scizor's 270 hp still allows pokemon to 2hko scizor. Take the charizard matchup for example. You're up 1 prize card after knocking out a charmander. Now a revenging...

Not sure if you're trolling but those are vstar pokemon... lost zone box does get hit by a nerf as you won't be able to get greninja or Cram without using a nest ball

What's the point if you're using two attacks already. Just use a better pokemon to 2hko the pokemon normally.

Doesn't matter because you're also taking two prizes from mew. You also will always ko mew first so you dont even lose a prize card vs one prize if ur running bravery. It'll always be a better trade for you because mew ex is run as a single copy.

New tool card can increase mimkyus hp by 100. That makes mew ex take 2 more attacks to ko it. That's the same amount that alakaxam can ko it. You can also run lost vacuum to remove the tool card after taking an extra hit and they'll only take one prize

2 Snorlax gives you 4 leftovers every turn. That's 200 damage. With town store and arven, you can get 300 damage each turn with a single prizer for only 2 tool cards. Because garbador works with only one darkness energy, you don't need that many energies. The energies you save can just be...

Goes to show that charizard is not actually that great. Lost box players probably mind gamed each other thinking people would bring giratina to beat charizard, so the Turbo players would beat those giratinas. Turns out Turbo can also beat zard! Colorless Lugia players probably played it because...

My point being is that the support gardevoir has right now is currently exclusive to this rotation. Charizard isn't on the same level as gardevoir as a stage 2 deck anyways. Try playing gardevoir without E rotation cards and you will find its barely a playable deck. Doesn't matter if ex has a...

You're underestimating how much the current gardevoir deck is carried by the miriad of psychic search/support is available in thus rotation. Gardevoir has vip pass, fog crystal, level ball, ultra ball, to help facilitate their setup. That's essentially double the amount of search support that...

Decks with lots of greninja food will always have manaphy. You can't preemptively knockout manaphy early because they can just bring back their manaphy. Best use of this card is against 2 prizes decks to pull additional liabilities into play.

Theres only 1 "meta" water deck and 2 "meta" psychic decks but you can argue there are more "viable" ones. Vannilux isn't even a good card. Literally all types get "support" if you think bad cards constitute "support". There's absolutely no chance a specific deck "counter" that requires a...

Could actually be a viable strategy with the release of pokemom catcher. You can search for iono + catcher and then by skipping an attack, that might put you behind in prize cards if the enemy chooses to ko your new mon.
