I think someone this weekend nearly topped with a Pidgeot-EX deck with no Mega. The main strategy was to make sure you can't OHKO Pidgeot and then keep on pounding down damage with Mirror Move and Max Potions. I think they either ran Magearna or Jolteon with it.

10 energy maximizes your chances of hitting just 1 energy. Anymore energy and it is gravy.

Mega Pidgeot has a couple potential partners, most with a similar attack pattern of (Some Energy)(Colorless)(Colorless), basically, if it can be used in Rayquaza, it can be used in Mega Pidgeot. Here are a few that are pretty good: Water: Regice + Glaceon EX + Manaphy Dark: Yveltal BKT +...

Pokemon: Gardevoir EX (Doesn't really matter which, I personally like PRC more) 3-4 +Self explanatory, I recommend 4 but I have seen some builds run 3 Mega Gardevoir EX (PRC) 2-3 +Heart and Soul of the deck, I personally like 3, but 2 might be better depending on what tech Pokemon you run and...

The Regirock idea is my personal favorite, it also can combo worth with Ninja Boy (Go into a Xerneas, evolve into BREAK, the crowd goes wild). A couple things to add onto Regirock: You can use Energy Switch to power up Xerneas BREAKs from your energy reserve You can use Energy Keeper Carbink...

1st option: I generally like, however it does kinda screw with the whole idea of having "recycle-able" resources. For a lot of decks having cards like Super Rod is a big deal, and I know how EXs/GXs would work, but it would be a bit awkward. 2nd option: Not a huge fan of, seems like it would...

Prize cards, like any mechanic, should be factored into card design. Lets take a Basic Pokemon deck and a evolution Pokemon deck. If I have 1 of my Basic Pokemon prized, then the disadvantage is localized to just that one Pokemon. If I am playing an evolution deck (Think Zoroark where the basic...

Yeah, I like some others, but within the realm of how Pokemon is designed, I don't really like the idea of having a "hitpoint" component for the player. Not only is this system already used for a lot of card games, but rarely is it done very nicely. I feel like the prize card system is not only...

I wouldn't use Volcanion with Octillery, Volcanion relies on very quick setups, something Octillery doesn't provide.

Any Talonflame + Stage 2 deck is pretty decent. Talonflame Garchomp is my personal favorite, although I want to try using Talonflame to make certain Mega decks more consistent. Talonflame Garchomp works a lot like Talonflame Greninja, except instead of spamming out Greninjas you focus on abusing...

Wouldn't my proposed system fix all the issues of the prize system, while keeping it basic?

I honestly still don't really love the idea of side boards in the game as well. Not only would this change the dynamic of the tournaments a whole lot, but it would make certain decks way too good, while other decks would really hurt from it. For example, in a deck like Greninja where there isn't...

The Mechanic is cool for a couple reasons: A. It is a built in "Win condition counter," as in you don't need anything extra to count how close you are to winning. You also get rewarded for doing well during a game, with a nice +1. You also get really cool cards like N and Ace Trainer, which...

Probably Dark w/ Max Elixir, that deck has really rounded out matchups which is something very attractive. Volcanion has a lot of promise and it will be cheap to build (Once the tins get released), so I might try that.

With my limited perspective: Steam Siege, Fates Collide, and Generations currently. Fates Collide was cool for a little while but now that set is basically null in standard. Steam Siege was overall underwhelming due to how they designed it without Garbodor in mind when Garbodor is a real threat...

There really isn't a purpose to try to avoid getting donked, because less than 50% of the time you will start with Cyndaquil, and the probability that you will play against a deck that can donk you is low, then they have to get all the resources to donk you, so it isn't worth worrying about...

It is a good card I use 4 in almost all of my decks, but this deck doesn't really need it as much as others. You have limited deck space because you still want to hit for big damage with Typhlosion, you usually want to end games super quickly to where repeated supporter use isn't necessary, and...

It is in fates collide

I don't really like VS Seeker or Puzzle, I have played 2 Seeker and it worked out fine, but I like Random Receiver more, it is definitely an option if you only run a couple. The issue with Puzzle is trying to get 2 copies together when you are milling so many cards, and you need to play 4 to...

That match up isn't that hard though, it is all about sniping and doing math. The stadium game isn't hard to win if you run 4 Puzzles, which you probably should run. You can snipe their Shaymins/Hoopas with Yveltal BKT, Lysandring out the Hoopa late game to just be able to splash out some...
