I could try it but it takes 4 deck slots instead of 2 with Silent Lab and deck space seems tight if we want to be firing on all cylinders. I really only need Lab to come down once anyway to beat the teched Hoopa if my opponent is indeed playing it. I felt I needed a Stadium as well and didn't...

Indeed, experimental is kinda where I'm at with this deck. Having only one Lele makes sense as well to free up a spot for Pheromosa or something since I already run Shaymin. I'm not a huge fan of Beast Ring since it clogs up your setup early game which is supposed to be where this deck shines...

Thanks for the detailed reply! Unfortunately, I'm a fool and didn't realize that Japan standard is similar to North American expanded minus a few cards Ray would never use so I should've looked at the topping decklists there first. None of those decks ran Double Dragon Energy for the reason you...

Good catch! I did find it a little weird that the Double Dragon energy kind of conflicted with a lot of the support Ray could use (baton, koko gx, etc). I guess it could still attack with it more quickly at a cost of power. Too bad. Oh well, that's one less card to work with I guess.

What does everyone think of Rayquaza's chance in Expanded? It's HP is a little squishy nowadays but it's damage output is certainly there. It's ability can set up Rescue Stretcher and VS Seeker. To top it off, Double Dragon Energy provides a fast way to set up. Is Max Elixir the best way to use...

Banning Valley wouldn't make the matchup "easier." You'd still be under item lock which is the main draw of Trev decks in the first place. As for Valley and Lele/Oricorio, what does Valley even do for Lele (I assume we're talking about gx)? And Oricorio is usually the one taking advantage of the...

I don't understand the Expanded hate. Anyone wanna explain to me what needs to change about it and why?

Alright already I'll retry the Beast Ring lol.

Yup, read the last line in the second paragraph. Totally not a budget concession :p I've made a small edit to the OP decklist with Ultra Space included. I'm testing 3 Strong Energy and they seem fine. Again, with the one energy requirements it's easy enough to find a basic energy to attach to...

Ultra Space is a great card and worth a slot for sure. I'll put one in. I'm not impressed with Beast Ring here. It does nothing to help you set up. My mons only need one energy to attack so setting up is not an issue. 2 energy is mostly overkill as well. In the end it feels like you're running...

The Deck Mons x 1 Oranguru (Instruct) x1 Buzzwole (Sledgehammer) x2 Buzzwole GX x1 Dawn Wings Necrozma x4 Poipole x3 Naganadel GX Trainers x1 Field Blower x 3Max Elixir x2 Nest Ball x1 Pal Pad x1 Rescue Stretcher x3 Ultra Ball x2 Ultra Space x1 Parallel City x2 Acerola x4 Cynthia x3 Guzma x2 N...

+1 to not using different rarities for the same cards. I like my decks to be nice and uniform. I also love full arts but I refuse to use rainbow rares. They look nice but a field full of them makes them all look the same, especially online. I don't like mousing over each card and I'm sure you...

I think it would be cooler if they reprinted the Ace Spec cards in the style of our current item secret rares in a product like the XY Premium Collection. It would keep the prices in check and more art styles to choose from is never a bad thing. I also don't get why a few people here want...

Hey, thanks for the review! For the one-ofs, they're pretty much all techs for certain matchups and even Night Spear can help with the Night March matchup. Darkrai GX with Lasers have been clutch before as well although I can see why it would give me too much to Compress at one time. If I were...

So I was playing Gardevoir GX online and noticed that every second game I played was against some sort of Zoroark GX variant. I also noticed that the games I won were the games I got out Gallade to one-shot me some Zoroarks. This was so effective I found myself using a 2-2 split of...

Great overview/checklist for new players! One thing I noticed is there's no mention of Garb/Necrozma in the tier list. This deck is at least tier 2 if not tier 1 since it has lots of room for techs for any given meta and uses mostly 1 prize attackers. It's tough to play at first but with...

So I'm using a psychic Silvally deck in expanded and I'm encountering an interesting interaction when I start with Bind Barricade Wobbuffet. If the Wobb is still active after I evolve and attach my psychic memory onto the Type Null, I still can't give my Wobb free retreat to switch. There is no...

That makes sense, I'll pay attention next time it happens

Sorry if this is the wrong place to discus this or if it's already been discussed to death. What happened to the mulligan rules while playing online? Sometimes you draw 1 card per opposing mulligan (pretty standard) but sometimes the game gives me the opportunity to draw up to 6 cards while my...
