well if you want a max rarity seismitoad/bats deck you'll need to get those crobats

similar to the doom desire jirachi, which wasn't very good unfortunately

interesting mystery energy is in the picture

If vespiquen is still a thing, then you absolutely need it. But in some cases you could run without it if the meta is right.

it's pretty hard to make an anti-meta deck when the meta is so unclear, and extremely diverse. It's not like Nats/World's where you knew to expect NM/Trev/Vespivile/Frogs and pretty much nothing else.

Glaceon is not immune to damage change, it has different text than Regice on Crystal Ray

Pokemon Ranger does not clear status conditions, this has been ruled quite clearly by TCPi.

Your pre-release experience is far different than our local one, which makes me believe its tied to the local game store's choice. Ours is $25 USD for a guaranteed 6 packs, plus a ton of packs given away for T3 in each age group. The pre-release promo also runs between $5-$10, which instantly...

Best of luck at your first tournament. There's a reason Shaymin is the best card in the game, most expensive and most desirable. Hopefully your experience at tournaments will help learn the strengths and weaknesses of your deck. I run a Flareon deck and I highly suggest you make room for...

Rotation happens once a year, Shaymin will rotate next Sept unless its reprinted.. and it won't be. The above advice about not using Shaymin because it'll rotate (eventually) is terrible, if you plan to be competitive, you will need Shaymin's.

Looks like it works exactly like the previous ones did, what makes you think the dice case cover isn't slide on?

Agreed, the deck is completely deck. The lost of SSU, AZ and Muscle Band mean its entire strategy no longer works.

True, you must have 1 basic. Some rough math, if you had a deck with 1 basic and 4 talonflame, you're 4x more likely to draw a talonflame if you choose only 1 card. All other hands are mulliganed if you got neither the basic or talonflame. Isn't that scenario then a 80+ % chance you'll start...

No, you're missing the point. Although you have 60% chance of not getting Talonflame in your hand, what really matters is the chance you don't get Talonflame and do get another basic. A deck with only 4 Talonflames has a 100% chance to start with Talonflame.

But its not just about getting Talonflame in your hand, you also have to account that you don't get any other basic Pokemon which would result in a mulligan. So these percentages have to be unique for each # of basic pokemon a deck might run.

Just run zebstrika if you are worried about megs ray, much more efficient solution than running Bats and 2hko

Your fighting fury belt accomplishes the same goal, if you're set on using Palkia and 2HKO'ing, then doing 90 is good enough.

I can't see needing both Xerneas EX and Lugia EX, they seem to fill the same niche of a big HP attacker. Also 2 Ninja Boy is a lot when you already get free retreat from Fairy Garden and it can't be used on Xerneas BREAK. A better combo might be Pokemon Ranger which would let Xerneas EX...

Lightning lacks a heavy hitter EX like it has in Manectric/M Manectric. Raichu/Raikou/Zebstrika/Jolteon EX are all decent, but they're more of support attackers, rather than something you build a deck around. Sure there's Raikou/Magnezone or Raichu/Skyfield but even if those can KO a Mega Ray...

6 basic energy isn't enough to make Max Elixir work well, you typically need 9-12 basic energy to use Max Elixir reliably. You're going to be whiffing a lot, and if your strategy is to get 2 energy attachments a turn, it's not going to work out.
