    Standard Silvally Memory Box (NOTE: Decklist Changed TWICE!)

    I don't 'want' anyone to change their deck to something they don't want to play. 'Should' is not a command. I'm completely indifferent to what any given player wants to play. It's not like I'm snatching the deck out of a child's hands and forcing him to play a different deck. I'm providing...

    Standard Silvally Memory Box (NOTE: Decklist Changed TWICE!)

    Massive overinvestment in memories and I really don't like running this with Lightning. You should run Silvally as a metal deck, as fairies are the only things it can't hit for weakness on its own. IMO the main point of this card is to be hitting for weakness, so your otherwise...

    'Forbidden Light,' Japan's SM6 Set!

    idk, I think it could be pretty good if darkness gets damage boosters. Combos well with Kukui to put on immediate KO pressure for one energy, and if we end up getting more damage boosters for darkness pokemon (if you remember, darkness energy was the original strong energy) the first attack...

    'Forbidden Light,' Japan's SM6 Set!

    The card's not especially good in Manegizone imo except for a clutch dialga power up, but it will be extremely good for Gold Rush Dugtrio, especially in standard where you have a harder time chaining Fishermen. I could see a new engine for standard Dugtrio using x2 Lusamine for the unlimited...

    'Forbidden Light,' Japan's SM6 Set!

    Poor Clemont gets added to the heap of obsolete cards.

    Standard Buzzwole/Garb

    Agree on the need for Sudowoodo (though not because of Hoopa or Alolatales, which are handled by garbotoxin ;)). Zygarde-EX is the only way you have a chance to win against the possible return of Espeon/Garb that a lot of players have been warning of. Most players recognize Manegizone as the...

    Discussion The Octillery Ripple Effect (2018-19 Standard Format Discussion)

    Zoroark has a box that's still being printed so the card has a price ceiling, it can't go much above where it is now with the box still around.

    Discussion Side decking in PTCG; yay or nay?

    Sidebars would favor decks that have consistent, flexible cores, like Zoroark. All of the easily teched against rogues would simply disappear, we never would have had fun stuff like Gyarados AOR making deep runs into events last year with a sidebar available. A 15 card sidebar could even...

    Collecting What do You do with Bulk?

    bookmarks and gifts for children that aren't jaded enough to only appreciate the rare and shiny pokemon cards yet. you can also put them in the spokes of your bike wheels to make your bike sound like a motorcycle.

    Standard A new Silvally deck

    Replace Genesect with Magearna from ULP, it's a straight upgrade in all respects, it basically turns your entire bench into Genesects. I'm also tempted to recommend a Dialga in this list, possibly over Necrozma, the GX attack is just too good to not consider in a metal list with energy...

    Standard Empoleon/Zoroark (aka Bench Press)

    idk why you'd worry about mind jack zoroark as a one prizer when you're playing Empoleon as a main attacker in the first place. Empoleon has a higher damage cap on a similar attack and more of its damage comes from things you can control, while Zoroark BKT is 100% reliant on the opponent's bench...

    Help What is the best Standard Zoroark variant?

    Lycanrock and Gardevoir are the two best variants atm imo. Lycanrock is faster and a little more consistent while Garde has more overall versatility. Mew is a valid tech in any Zoroark variant so don't think that only Zorogarde gets any utility out of it. It's for dealing with Buzzwole which...

    Standard Umbreon GX/Glaceon GX/Xurkitree GX Hit and Run

    Strafe is a pretty poor attacking option and doesn't really compare well to past 'hit and run' decks like Donphan and Accelgor in that it does much less damage in a meta with more HP than ever, and it doesn't have a way to block/discourage your opponent from attacking. Donphan had strong energy...

    Expanded Gold Rush (Alolan Dugtrio/Starmie)

    Lusamine ensures you win the stadium war and Lysandre isn't really needed in a deck like this. Since you don't invest in your active attacker one Dugtrio's just as good as the next. I run dowsing machine in my gold rush but I'm a weirdo like that. I think that extra uses of items are...

    Discussion Tier List for Standard

    I've never been a big believer in numerical tiers in this game though, there's too many subtle variations in lists that can have huge impacts in how matchups play out. I'd just say that the Zoroark decks should be classed as meta-defining decks, Buzzwole decks as anti-meta decks, tier 2/3 decks...

    Discussion How many donk decks are there?

    Decidueye/Latios donk is one I used to see a lot of in expanded online ladder before the FOGP ban. Basically you'd run a high latios count to try to get a latios start, use a compressor/revitalizer draw engine to get as many owls out as you can, shaymins, trainers' mail and acro bikes for...

    'Forbidden Light,' Japan's SM6 Set!

    Ultra Necrozma is tailor made for Metagross, because the old one's GX move was slightly overkill and the attack dealt slightly too little damage. It almost feels like an incremental patch after they realized the Metagross/Necrozma deck the designers were trying to make wasn't really working out...

    Standard Water Silvally Box

    I've been messing with a similar deck and I agree that it's pretty good. I think you should go 2 Lapras though, it's very important for dealing with base 190s and it sucks to have it prized. You'll almost never need more than 2 benched and even that is somewhat uncommon. I find that most of my...

    Standard Beastly Box

    Your beast ball investment is too high, that card strikes me as a one-of in a deck carrying Skyla atm. I also think not playing with Naga with Buzzwole is a mistake unless we get a better beast partner for it in the other SM5+ cards, I'd drop the rainbow energy and psychic energy for fighting...
