    Standard Cynthia

    Considering you should only need to Cynthia 3 times a game, and you play 4 DCE, I see no reason to waste one on a Koko to attempt to help you in a matchup you lose anyways. I don't know what kind of acceleration you think you're going to need, but there's not a lot you need to accelerate. You...

    Standard Cynthia

    I don't know what kind of Meta you THINK we are going to have, but Salazzle/Garbodor will not be good, I can guarantee that. Solgaleo WILL play Max Potion, because it is useful against EVERY SINGLE MATCHUP EXCEPT THE MIRROR (and even then, it's good in the mirror). The game isn't going to be as...

    Standard Cynthia

    Couple things here: -1 Garchomp BKP Realistically, this card is never going to be useful. You don't need much acceleration to begin with since your main attack is Fighting+DCE And the Fighting typing isn't going to matter by the time you get this card in play. Garchomp ULP can OHKO Zoroark GX...

    Discussion SM4 Worst Set Ever?

    No one uses them ANYMORE because they came out with cards that do the job better. Mewtwo was a good answer to decks that energy stacked because it was a one prize attacker (Played in Xerneas BREAK a lot for example), Now we have Tapu-Lele GX. And upon release, Dragonite was a staple in...

    Discussion SM4 Worst Set Ever?

    Dragonite was still good for how many months on realease? Starmie is still in two top tier decks. (which is my point) Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Tapu-Bulu, a very good Tier 2 deck use this? Mismagius is bad. What decks will its first attack ACTUALLY stall out? And it's second attack...

    Discussion SM4 Worst Set Ever?

    Dragonite EX, Starmie, Brock's Grit, Psychic Mewtwo. That set was better. Quite literaly twice as good as Crimson Invasion because it only has 2 good cards compared to Evoluiton's 4.

    Discussion SM4 Worst Set Ever?

    Dash Pouch is only good with Golosipod GX. Alolan Exeggutor GX is bad. Even if you pair it with Venasuar, you have to go 3 Grass energy deep to do the same amount of damage that Dragon Hammer does, 4 if you want do do more, all while having no energy acceleration what-so-ever. It doesn't have...

    Discussion SM4 Worst Set Ever?

    I don't see where people thought Ninetails GX was a bad card. Everyone that i had talked to about it said the card was good and thought that waterbox would form around that card instead of Lapras GX. I never heard anyone say it was bad? The Ultra Beasts look promising? How? None of them would...

    Discussion SM4 Worst Set Ever?

    So now that we have the scans for SM4, I've notice something. There is only TWO cards in the set that are even playable in competitive standard, Lusamine and Silvally GX. Everything else is this set is actually terrible. All of the other GX's are absolutely terrible, and are outclassed by most...

    Discussion Thoughts on Metagross GX/ Necrozma GX in Standard?

    I play the deck now lol, and it has a hard time against 1-prize decks. Even with the baby Galeo, it has a hard time. Rayquaza can't OHKO anything, and baby Galeo is easily ohko'd. There isn't another good 1-prize attacker to use until we get the Lele promo, and even then, it won't solve the...

    Discussion Why the Ultrabeasts are Lackluster.

    This is for standard, expanded means nothing to my discussion, which is why I've talked multiple times about the CURRENT META. If you are using Kartana solely for it's GX attack, then you have to look at it like this. How many times, out of 100 games are you going to be in the situation where...

    Discussion Thoughts on Metagross GX/ Necrozma GX in Standard?

    Solgaleo's big problem is that 1-prize decks are popular right now. With Garbodor, Zoroark, and Greninja being played, and Xerneas BREAK showing its face, you do literally nothing to those decks. they are all auto-lose. If they weren't around, i could see Solgaleo easily being in the tier 2...

    Discussion Why the Ultrabeasts are Lackluster.

    Lapras is a very different case however. It had a deck that could center around it. For example, the attack restriction is canceled out by Manaphy EX. the energy cost was cancelled out by Palkia EX. Collect is a mind game attack, thinking a attack like that is N bait is the wrong way to think...

    Discussion Why the Ultrabeasts are Lackluster.

    You miss the reasons why these cards are bad. Guzzlord is bad because the extremely high energy cost is almost impossible to hit before it gets knocked out. Mallow+Elixer only gets you so far. You cant EFFECTIVELY charge up a Guzzlord GX to do anything. Everything in the Tier 1&2 brackets can...

    Discussion Why the Ultrabeasts are Lackluster.

    True, but those last three have to be M-Ray levels of good. Here's what I predict. Pheromosa will be Grass, probably 170 but hopefully 180 HP. 1 Retreat cost, three attacks, first being a single grass or a DCE attack, second being 1-2 Grass energy for <120 damage and the opponent can't attack...

    Discussion Why the Ultrabeasts are Lackluster.

    So after seeing some of the UltraBeasts get their first scans, I gotta say, they are all very lackluster. Not a single one has an ability/attack that is game changing. I'll go over each card and the strength and weakness to each one. Buzzwole GX...

    Discussion The New "Safeguard" Abilities are Broken...

    In order for the Safeguard cards to be good, they have to be offensive, or have something to be offensive with. Your one saving grace is Decidueye. Because you have Owl backing your damage, maybe you can lead with BUS Ninetails and be an effective wall. There's arguments to be made whether that...

    Discussion The New "Safeguard" Abilities are Broken...

    Or just bait then onto throwing it active. Here's the thing, it has to be active for the wall, meanng they aren't attacking with the GX Ninetails. Mini-tails takes 5 hits to kill 1 Metagross, a banded one takes 3. Meaning if they keep it active, you can easily set up for free. Maybe play a Guzma...
