    Japan's XY9 Set: 'Rage of the Broken Sky,' New 'Battle Strengthening Sets'

    If this translation is complete and correct, it will now be possible to put your opponent down to a one card hand before they even get a turn! (Red Card + Stadium + Scary Lady) Pretty scary, indeed.

    'Blue Impact' / 'Red Flash' Japan's XY8 Sets, Next Set Block Titled 'XY: BREAK!'

    I don't think this card is bad at all. It's a card with a mill attack that actually has some staying power, as opposed to the Bunnelby or Durant-type Pokemon that are more easily one-shotted. And its second attack can be powered up without even using an energy attachment via Blacksmith...

    'Blue Impact' / 'Red Flash' Japan's XY8 Sets, Next Set Block Titled 'XY: BREAK!'

    No you cannot, read the rulebook. One stadium per turn

    'Blue Impact' / 'Red Flash' Japan's XY8 Sets, Next Set Block Titled 'XY: BREAK!'

    Really hoping for a Copycat reprint in this set, both to provide a much needed improvement to our selection of XY-on draw supporters, and also to make Noivern BREAK good

    'Blue Impact' / 'Red Flash' Japan's XY8 Sets, Next Set Block Titled 'XY: BREAK!'

    Pokemon-EX aren't going anywhere, as future products slated for fall release have been referring to things like M Mawile-EX, M Aerodactyl-EX, and Palkia-EX, plus Hoopa-EX from the current Ancient Origins set has an ability specifically meant to synergize with Pokemon-EX. BREAK Pokemon, as...

    Competitive Decks that Don't Run Shaymin

    Anything that doesn't run heavy counts of Silent Lab or Wobbuffett right now should probably be running multiple Shaymins. In the current format, you either play Shaymin or you counter it, the card is that good. However, in some decks, you can get away with running a 1-1 split of Shaymin and...

    Alt. Format XY-On Miltank / Crobat

    Wouldn't a Turbo Miltank deck be easier to pull off using the new Giant Plant Forest that comes out in Ancient Origins? Pair Miltank with Beautifly ROS, Sceptile PRC, Vileplume AOR, Shiftry FLF, or basically any stage 2 grass-type of your choosing, then use the stadiums effect to evolve through...

    Ancient Origins [8/15, aka Bandit Ring]

    Vespiquen is really, really good... As others have mentioned, it combos well with the Eeveelutions to hit a significant portion of the metagame for weakness, plus it has free retreat and is Level Ball searchable. I'd be very surprised if some sort of Vespiquen archetype isn't Tier 1 or close to...

    Ancient Origins [8/15, aka Bandit Ring]

    Ugh, why is this card so bad?? I thought the creators of Pokemon actually liked Tyranitar, but then they saddle it with this terrible EX... I guess its possible that the rest of the set will offer enough support to Darkness types to make this card playable, but even if that were the case, this...

    Ancient Origins [8/15, aka Bandit Ring]

    Bad Energy is... very appropriately named. As for Sableye, I actually think the card has some potential. When N is replaced with Ace Trainer following this season's (probable) rotation to XY-on, Sableye looks like a fantastic starter. It gives you effectively two supporters per turn while you...

    May's Community Deck List: Colorless M Rayquaza-EX!

    -1 Vulpix PRC -1 Ninetales PRC +1 Swablu LTR +1 Altaria ROS I know Altaria was originally included and was dropped in favor of Ninetales, but I personally think Altaria is the stronger choice of the two. Stadium lock seems rather unimportant when you run 4 Sky Fields and can simply propagate...
