Notice that all of these decks are very susceptible to Garb?

The most recent Regionals had almost only Garde and Garbodor.

All that I am trying to prove is that Jolteon is an almost entirely irrelevant card to the format. If we agree, let's stop arguing.

Never an expanded deck. Way dead, FOGP is banned. Never a deck anyway. This was a standard Regional, it is completely irrelevant. You completely missed my point, I was saying you can Hex around the (non-existant) Aegislash. By the way, do you know anything about the actual meta of...

What other deck uses Jolteon? What about Hex?

I agree, but most of the time through this thread, people brought up specific cards to say they should be banned, not to support a reason for banning them. I ultimately just want people to work backwards: state a a criterion and then use a card to support it. Noted.

Like I said, we are not going to call out specific cards; however, I will clarify for you what I mean because you misinterpret what I said. Both 2 and 4 do not make sense. In 2, I mean an error in translation made a card too powerful, like with Slowking Neo Destiny. In 4, I mean literally making...

Agreed. Will change to "Too Oppressive a Hold (Locks or Combos)"

I fundamentally agree with you; almost every that has been banned fits under a category. I just don't think that looking to each banned card and putting each reason that it was banned is viable. After all, if a card does is extend the time it probably won't be banned :P Also, new possible...

I am going to update the OP with everything but my response to @Otaku I use the term ban-worthy over broken because of the reasons you've mentioned: the "Mountain" effect, the first 2 definitions of broken are very subjective, and is almost entirely irrelevant. Also, if we use broken literally...

There have been a handful of threads since Worlds discussing "Broken Cards." The most recent of these, the Gardevoir thread, arguably blew up because there was no metric to base this on. Let's try to fix that. I will edit this post when a new criterion comes up that seems reasonable. I have a...

The price of those numbers is energy. Does that not make Starmie the broken card? Can we stop calling cards broken? This game is complex, and no matter what we call broken, there will always be yet another card to blame for enabling the one card to be broken.

Yes.

The card Dangerous Energy from Breakthrough can only be attached to Dark types. The card Special Dark Energy can be attached to any Pokemon; however the +10 damage will only be applied to attacks from Dark types.

Are we talking about volc or are we talking about VikaBulu?

Your opponent can retrat/switch out of Doom News. You won’t win with it. Even with Garb, you’ll only have 2 attacker’s and decks can deal with that.

Use small volc to charge multiple attackers at once? Don’t think it’s that hard.

How are you going to win?

In a straight RS-on, neither would see play because there are better ways of doing what both of these cards do.

Expanded looks to be going in the direction of Modern, it hasn’t yet to rotate. This format would basically be Expanded, but with stronger items and support pokemon...
