I had this exact same idea. You have to tech for Malamar but the good news is that you can't be OHKO'd by Shadow Impact either. Unfortunately 1 Dimension Door or Spell Tag can ruin that, but it's something. Diancie Prism Star + 10 extra damage (like Dojo) gets the KO with Drill Bazooka...

If Choice Band didn't rotate, this card would have a chance at seeing some play. However, that's just not the case so I don't see this seeing much play. Dark Box can't really risk throwing 3 Dark Energy on something with just 90 HP, and Umbreon and Darkrai with Custom Catcher are already the way...

Thunder Mountain only works for Lightning Pokemon. So Reshiram and Zekrom is definitely good, but I think this is more awkward than some people are realizing. You have to get a Fire and Lightning Energy on it, but it discards from the bench for power. So if you use Welder to accelerate the...

The wording of this effect could mean that gusting can't get around it. It's a blanket effect on all of your Pokemon in play. It could be the same though but that just seems weird to me. It'll probably be ruled as not working if it leaves the active though. This looks really good for Malamar...

Sure, Suicune works too, but you can use Phione without all the switching shenanigans, which makes it more splashable. Yes, you have to dig Phione back out of the deck if you need it again, but it's not an effect you wanna use that often anyway. Plus, this alongside Jirachi means you don't have...

Phione is a free Jet Geyser, which is a pretty good ability. It's not the best or anything , but it'll definitely be a handy 1-of in some decks, especially Water decks that may have additional synergy / ways to search it. Considering the other gusting options available, or the lack thereof...

Why are people hating Draw Energy? I thought the exact opposite when I saw it. It's a free draw in decks that have attackers that use single Colorless attacks, mostly Colorless attacks, or run P-Z for acceleration. In Porygon-Z, it's nuts as a free draw while powering up your Whimsicott...

Well this could be the new control deck after rotation. It's a lot more aggressive than other control decks too...the extra 180 pressure each turn is really good. However, Welder + 1 regular attachment isn't enough to power it up, unfortunately.

Well, at least Great Potion has a home now, with Carracosta-GX. It means it has effectively 390 HP with just 1 Great Potion, but attacks that do 140 or less damage will have trouble even 3HKO'ing Carracosta. The ability is really good, but being a Stage 2 fossil makes it a lot weaker. The main...

What? Aerodactyl-GX increases attack costs, not retreat. That's what makes the card interesting too, imo. It's kinda awkward to meet its attack costs without DCE. Yeah, you can use TAE, but that's definitely less than ideal. Also, Hoopa rotates but there's Keldeo-GX now. Anyway, yeah, this set...

Aerodactyl can OHKO Pikarom, which is neat. That ability is super nice, and you can grab it directly off of Lab. Without DCE, it's probably not the best primary attacker, but if it's reprinted, it can work. Unfortunately, no fossil so far is particularly better as a primary attacker, so it's...

I was thinking about going for disruption with Crushing Hammers and maybe a Faba, but the mock-up list for the idea I had is tight on space. I guess Jirachi wouldn't be required, but I'd be afraid of consistency issues since it's a Stage 2 deck idea. I'm currently thinking 4 each of Bike...

Eh, I'm not seeing it in Tool Drop. I'd rather use TEU Aegislash with Shining Celebi because it has 10 extra HP plus an ability that reduces damage by 40 more. Plus, it's Metal so it benefits from Metal Goggles/Metal Frying Pan. Also, it can use Metal Core Barrier to effectively require 250...

I think Robert was trying to think of ways to keep a stream of Golisopod going each turn. You do need Naganadel or something to keep up the attachment, since it needs at least 2 to attack. I'm honestly not sold on how good this is. It seems less than ideal outside of the Reshizard matchup simply...

Also, Golisopod can be searched by Poke Maniac. Neat.

Aegislash can be played as a 2/2 or 3/3 in a deck with Meganium. I honestly wouldn't bother with Dusk Stone because of Aegislash's ability, which makes Meganium and Rare Candy well worth it. You can return the Honedge and Aegislash to hand (since that's how the ability works) and continuously...

Right. I'm simply speaking to the impact that will have on those decks that will want to run Green's Exploration. Functionally, Green's can do the same things in these Tag Team decks, but I'm simply discussing it because those deck's viability affect how good Green's will be.

I really do not like Order Pad, but at least it's more viable post-rotation. And yeah, my point with Green's is that it's stronger overall, but weaker because you have to dedicate more deck space in certain decks to be able to search everything using Green's, like Cherish Ball and Mysterious...

They work well in decks that don't run many energy too. They also have synergy with Jirachi builds and things like HitmonRun (although not a meta deck). ReshiZard and Venusaur and Celebi can run both, and the latter benefits from being able to recover Judge, if needed. I haven't done too much...

Thinning: I'd argue Acro Bike/Judge Whistle is a solid engine, even though they're just deck thinners. It's still an engine to boost consistency, especially for non-GX decks that can't benefit from Treasure, Net Ball, or Cherish Ball. Search: I'm not sure Whimsicott will really be that good but...
