Being a stage 2 hurts but that damage ramps up super quickly. 160/190 with band, with no drawback for 3 energy and the aqua patch/quagsire engine is there to fuel it. I don't think this works with Archie since you'd need to archie both this and a blastoise. The GX move is a little odd until...

I guess they thought that with Lance and Dragonite-GX's Dragonporter they could print okay but not great effects on stage 2 dragons. Might be relevant at some point if there are some nasty effect decks but it's probably a binder sitter for now. BTW, it doesn't prevent all effects, just...

As someone who played a lot of Donphan, this is not the same thing mostly because Donphan had strong energy, robosubs and Korrina. Aqua Ring doesn't really put out enough damage to pressure your opponent that much, similar to Umbreon's Strafe attack that I've seen people doing this with. Another...

I'm really bearish on Blaine. This is no Archie/Maxie, this is no Colress. Getting your hand size down is not as easy as it is in expanded or was in standard when Archie/Maxie were still legal, you can't VS Seeker for it. Might see use as a one of in expanded fire decks, particularly sky field...

Everything about this card is good, but lazy recycled design. I would complain but it's fitting for Quagsire i guess.

Typhlosion-BKT. New partner for that joke of a deck as it goes expanded only around the same time we get it. I don't think it's necessarily that good in Volc as a lot of people are saying because you generally want to power heater or nitro tank that energy directly back onto the field instead of...

Road Block Sudowoodo is key for any sky field deck to give you the bench advantage, that will help you much more against other Sky Field decks than Jolteon will. Jolteon is not nearly as value as it used to be because basic only decks are way less common than they used to be, and it doesn't...

Rare Candy is fine, but when we start talking Kiawe you have to start comparing this to basic cards that do similar things. Ho-oh-GX is a much more consistent Kiawe target that can hit 210 than Charizard will be. It's two prizes as opposed to one, but the card is better in virtually every other...

idk why people didn't get that I was joking about that translation, funny that the effect is kind of similar in referencing his army of Dragonites though, the intent is obviously there for this to be used as a compliment to Dragonite-GX. Dragonair SUM is a great one-prizer to sacrifice to...

IMO there are two styles of Dragonite deck we'll see in the next set: Altaria/Dragonite with max potions built around Attack 1 and Dragonite/Ribombee deck around attack 2. You don't need Altaria in this deck since it's going for the second attack given your energy makeup and you can hit the 210...

so did they give up on the "we're doing sets with a regional theme" thing before they did Unova?

Banette-ex 'reprint'? Yes please.

I have both English and Japanese copies of this card and I see no reason to believe that this one is a fake. The best way to catch well made fakes, ones where there aren't obvious tels like the wrong font, wrong copyright dates, wrong card backs, wrong borders, wrong text/costs/numbers, ect, is...

Emboar reprint in the Unova set (SM8, 9 or 10) confirmed.

Yeah, I know it's a major issue for the deck which is why I run a rotomdex as a potential out. It's not that big of a deal provided you only prize one. 100 damage is enough to 2HKO anything provided you can find a choice band, which is fine using a one prize one attachment attacker. IMO spending...

I don't like counter energy unless you're running sudowoodo BKT, which you need to run thicker lines of brooklet to have out reliably when you need it. Requires too big of a deck investment when you're already running DCE for Zoroarks and you want a high basic water energy count for aqua patch...

Welp, was correct that it was a dragon item, but it's useless. Same damage as a choice band and it works on your opponent's turn. Also doesn't hit any important numbers. Druddigon really needed at least 130hp and to be able to hit at least 170 after return damage to be playable. I don't know...

Most decks run at least one card with a one retreat cost so escape board can replace float stone as a Guzma pivot which is about 50% of the purpose of float stones these days, Koko also remains a very easily teched free retreat with a lot of utility so you might see more people benching it as a...

I assumed the Sudowoodo you were running was BKT. I have to question the use of the Guardians Rising version when you're using garbotoxin because it like the other abilities is shut off by garbotoxin. Sudowoodo GUR is much less effective at controlling Zoroark than garbotoxin is. Reducing 120...
