Donphan's second attack is a bigger deal when you're not playing against night march in about 50% of games which is my general experience with online play these days. It's a meta call, I played it that way back in the earlier SM sets, but Night March has gotten quite a few indirect buffs in...

I had a very fun and successful Donphan/Tauros deck back in BW-SM expanded but found that the power creep in GUR made Tauros, a key card for the deck, feel much weaker since choice band puts a base 150 attack to OHKO. My current list runs 2 Hoopa and 1 Mew, I don't think that Latias is worth...

The letters are key in standard where you don't have compressors to get energy into discard ASAP, they'll help you thin your deck out quite a bit. I agree that Espeon-EX doesn't really offer much here, the deck doesn't deal spread damage and will 2HKO any stage 2 somewhat easily anyways. I'd...

Salazzle/Infernape looks like a fun gimmick. Burn's been getting a lot of support lately. That Sneasel is great and will enable Weavile decks even more, they clearly want Weavile to take off as an archetype given this and the BUS weavile. I also like the Drifblim against spread decks, or in...

eh, I don't get the hype over the super boost energy, there aren't many decks that will have that many stage 2s in play at the same time, I mean if you're at a point where you have 3 stage 2s on your field your opponent probably hasn't been able to control you well and will lose soon anyways...

Pokemon - 16 Alolan Diglett x 4 Alolan Dugtrio x 4 Staryu BKP x 3 Starmie EVO x 3 Tapu Lele x2 Supporters - 10 Sycamore x 4 N x 1 Colress x 1 Guzma x 1 Lysandre x 1 Lusamine x 1 Fisherman x 1 Items/Stadiums - 26 Ultra Ball x 3 Level Ball x 3 Dowsing Machine x 1 Battle Compressor x2 VS Seeker...

If it's played in standard it will be with Silvally for sure, but I think that is dependent on there being a reason to run Silvally/Water. Right now, Golisopod is very good and the best Silvally/Water variant I've seen is Silvally/Lapras, and Lapras is unfortunately grass weak. Palkia isn't very...

Could see it in expanded with Archie, but it's definitely not viable in standard. It kind of takes advantage of aqua patch in that you can patch benched water types then use the first attack to move water energy to it, but that's frankly too slow for a pokemon with 180 HP these days, you can't...

In terms of prizes, I did that for awhile, offered to let them go through some of my old bulk and pick a card for every prize they could take against me. As a bulk hoarder, it was a good way to reduce my giant pile of old cards.

Shaymin could be cute in a rainbow road variant, but its grass typing is redundant with galvantula STS.

I don't like brooklet here, all it searches for is Riolu, you're better off just running a higher count of them if you want to get one early. I think that Devoured Field is a weak card overall and not really worth including in any list. I do think that scorched earth might be worth considering...

GX attack is really good but once that's been played the card is dead weight, I could see it as a one of tech in metal acceleration decks aside from Sol Burst focused Solg builds, because if you get that attack off and can attack again on your bonus turn with something like metagross it's...

It's forced synergy, but it's finally a dragon card that isn't garbage.

This card is the biggest buff that Lunala-GX has gotten since release, but I still question whether it's enough given that you can only have one, so consistency will remain a big issue.

I don't see a lot of synergy between the EX and GX. Glaceon and Jolteon-EX are both generally weaker cards than they once were because decks tend to run both basic and evolution attackers. Your supporter and item counts are pretty sketch. You have a huge investment in Gladion for what the card...

Not really? All of them have been part of high tier competitive decks at one point or another. Even Umbreon took at least one top 16 placing iirc. This card is pretty good, but also situational. It's good for Decidueye, the preponderance of Guzma and float stone will let you get mileage out of...

So I think this might complete their metal love and Garde hate campaign, next expansion they start introducing more anti-metal cards to get rid of the monster decks they're creating. Though I honestly don't see this card being that great, metal decks already have so many energy acceleration...

Correction, not a regional but rather the European International, which happened this morning. No garb decks made top 8 but a pure Buzzwole did, losing to Greninja. Final four were Greninja, Golisopod/Zoroark, Gardevoir and Metal/Silvally.

I'd go 2-2 on Remoraid, drop the switch and Lillie to get there. I also generally prefer CB over FFB so I'd exchange those as well, the +10 on non-GX doesn't make much of a difference and you can seldom depend on the HP sticking when you need it to with many decks running 3 or even 4 blowers to...

Nah, DM is probably a good card. Its attack is similar to Solgaleo but on a basic for one more metal energy. It's a 190hp card which circumvents the 150+CB cards like Drampa. Will be situationally useful in metal decks, particularly in Metagross where you sometimes lack the damage to OHKO bigger...
