    More “Paradox Rift” English Cards Revealed, Gholdengo ex’s Attack Translated to Match Video Games

    From a business logistic point of view, it doesn't make sense to always align attack translations across pokemon products. Keep in mind that translator teams are most likely different everytime and maybe translations are outsourced to other companies. It's not reasonable to expect a translation...

    Armarouge ex, Golisopod ex, Illustration Rares, and More from “Ancient Roar” and “Future Flash” Revealed!

    It's good but is only useful if you draw it in your opening hand. With 4 copies, youre still looking at a 40% chance you can start with it. Then you're left with 3 dead cards in your deck. God forbid you also dont draw multiple in your opening hand as that's even less resources to start with...

    “Ancient Roar” and “Future Flash” Officially Revealed, Including Sandy Shocks ex!

    sorta balanced by the fact it's on a supporter. It'll most likely be used more as a healing card rather than a card effect recycling card. After rotation hits, it's looking like a lot of decks will start having draw engine problems as kirlias and vip passes are going to be rotated out. This...

    Treasures of Ruin Cards, New Evolution / Devolution Technical Machines Revealed from SV4!

    The thing is, this shouldn't really kill Gardevoir decks. The recent trend in Gardy decks is actually to slow setup your board, either using mirage step to put in kirlias straight on board or to just manual evolve into kirlias. You don't really rare candy gardevoirs until the end game where you...

    Aegislash Line from “Raging Surf!”

    Interesting take but at the end of the day, it's only doing 120 damage. You can do this same walling strat with alakazam ex attacking from the bench but that deck is still a meme.

    “Miraidon ex League Battle Deck” Revealed!

    I wouldn't count on that. Miraidon ex is already cheap and Regieleki Vmax has gone back to being bulk. Seal stone is the only card worthwhile in this deck but you only get 1 copy, so you're already pretty much spending $20 on it.

    Going Solo — What if Arceus VSTAR Didn’t Have a Partner?

    There's a new tech floating around with RadGreninja and Poppy. Allows for some surprising plays when they dont expect an arceus deck to be able to attack with RadGreninja. Worthwhile to include considering the power of greninja in this current format.

    Bombirdier ex, Mantyke, Yveltal, Gorgeous Mantle Revealed from “Raging Surf!”

    Ngl mantyke looks like a really good midgame stalling option when falling behind. If you're running a primary 2 prize card deck, you can pivot into mantyke to heal 120hp off your main attacker so that you can rebuild your board. 120hp is huge. Suppose your main attacker is damaged and will be...

    Tera Mewtwo ex and Tera Skeledirge ex Revealed!

    Water garchomp is an ideal case for justifying irida in a fighting deck. You literally search for rare candy+garchomp with one supporter. There aren't even that many fighting specific supporter you're sacrificing to play irida either.

    Tera Mewtwo ex and Tera Skeledirge ex Revealed!

    How is this a bad thing? Having different types than your energy allows for more type coverage. Only this mewtwo is a special case as it is a basic so psychic specific support doesn't apply, but for stage 1+ terms, you can still use support when they're not yet evolved into their Tera forms...

    Illustration Rares, Pidgeot ex, and More Revealed from “Ruler of the Black Flame!”

    Geeta allows for more attacker options for rogue decks. Ting lu for example is already a decent playable deck even though they have to skip an attack to use Koraidon. Sure Geeta is really only good going second, but having a strong card going second makes going first a lot less impactful. Right...

    Town Department Store from “Ruler of the Black Flame!”

    Not as useful as some may think. The card itself isn't searchable so unless you're running a toolbox of tool cards, you're essentially just adding another copy of the tool card you want to search. No difference in running 1 department store + 1 forest seal stone vs 2 forest seal stones because...
