Bye bye trev. -- expanded is back.

I agree with everybody! There are lots of good points. I think the issue with me, because I'm a QAE in real life, revolves around why pokemon swing pendulum so hard after each set. I wish each set had slight variation swings versus huge dramatic ones. Instead of jumping off cliffs every time...

Since it was produced as a promo card, I wonder what is the life span of that card (Yveltal EX).If there was a hall fame card, Yveltal EX would be at the top of my short list. If it sticks around next season, Wow, that card would have to go down as one of the longest dominating ever. What has...

Pokemon could do better. Balance is hard to come by. They need someone to come in and Lean Six Sigma their Quality Control because they struggle way to often in these areas. If you constantly struggle in these areas, there is a process breakdown in their quality control. Why they struggle in...

Most of these problems I've stated from the above is due to draw support, Shaymin EX and Forest of Giant Plants. The ability to draw super quickly and play Forest of Giant Plants is what lets these scenario's play out. Without same turn draw support and evolution it makes these scenario's harder...

Here are the two cards that I think will make players a bit agitated because of Forest of Giant plants. I don't particular like these cards in the set. And as always, I think pokemon can do better. Here are my thoughts, tell me what you think? #8 Tsareena – Grass – HP140 Stage 2 – Evolves from...

Agreed. I know there is a hidden trick to that deck. But I've come to a conclusion that I will just net deck when someone else figures it. I've been getting lazy lately. Great Article by the way! :0)

It just has a lot of bad matchups. It is also not a very straight forward pokemon. It's tricky because of the first attack on the card. Most viable competitive decks do one, maybe two attacks to win games. They are straight forward and make you think about the matchups versus how to play the...

Milling will be the only game in town, after jan. I hate how this is the 4th energy disruption card in standard. It bothers me that energy disruption is the driving force behind defenseive decks. It is like a bad record stuck on one theme song for way to long. I encourage Pokémon to do better...

The rotom card will be good in decks that are reliant on the DCE to fall. With a quick ultraball, you will realize you prized 2 or 3 DCE's and want to play this card at start of game. For end game, if you play a single lysandre and Ultraball and realize it's prized you will dig for rotom to get...

I wonder if you can play a switching pokemon. After the attack, or by ability like Haluchawa, you force your opponent to switch. Once the new pokemon comes up it would be poison. Sometimes though, you don't want your opponent to switch. Unless, switching isn't considered retreating, which means...

That sounds right. I know they were trying to look at a way to bring the evolution game back. I think evolving into a 190 hp stage 1 and 250hp stage 2 pokemon makes sense since. It can be difficult to evolve at times when playing against large energy efficient ex basics. The question now is what...

Gosh, I think White Kyruem EX Ice Burn would do 170 + muscle band it's 190, before the flip. Not bad, along with Volcanion, that card could be playable again in expanded. I hope the burn does comeback for dragons. Dragons and fire just makes sense.

I use them but they are not needed. It depends on the type of player. Mega turbo work just as good. This deck can also benefit from energy switch. There is a lot of options.

I don't think the prize card will ever go away. I think that is a signature of the game. However, I'd love if pokemon would not deny prizes on the game board once a pokemon is placed down. Instead, I'd love a Supporter card that allows a chance flip and places any single card of the opponents...

Exactly. I play this deck quite often. Water decks are the only auto loss it will take. Everything else is pretty much fifty-fifty. I was going to suggest the same replacement cards. The other cards I've tested is Hex, PCL, and Ninja Boy. Hex can play well against the grinijia match up if the...

I think there is no real top tier level this year. I think when the dust settles a lot of those decks will be 50/50 in the power rankings. There are just too many different ways to get around each one of these decks. For standard, I'm going take the winners with a grain of salt this year. That...

Salamence EX, just made Xernias break more valuable.

Ya. It's tough without a hard counter for tools. Funny you mentioned Caccino. I've been running the card with Espeon EX and against Mega Decks. The card wreck some Havoc. Because Mew or Mew EX can use it's attack, you can switch off bettween Espeon and Cinccino attacks. I run Lugia EX to takes...

Honestly, M Ray hasn't been threat in LC's lately. I think there is so much hate on M Ray and Rainbow Road that there are becoming tougher plays. I think in this deck that you can get by with a Hex and open up deck space. Lysandring Garb is a tough play in this meta, a lot of times you are...
