Sigilyph is a psychic basic, Malamar is a much better partner for it than Zoroark.

The expanded format is extremely fast-paced, and I don't think that attaching 1 energy for your supporter for the turn is really gonna help much, especially when Darkrai can do the same with a trainer card. I do think Xerneas could be a very strong deck in expanded with the tools it already...

Ribombee: If we ever get a good wall Fairy pokemon, or a good Fairy hit and run, this will be amazing. Until then, Fairy decks now have the option to deny things like Guzma, which could be good for Alolan Ninetales-GX so they can tech in a water non-GX Ninetales for some stall. ●●●●○ Mina...

Treecko - Best treecko, right now, but nothing too crazy ●●○○○ Grovyle - This looks like a pretty good card, especially with the Sceptile from Celestial Storm, but grass decks really haven't played Shiinotic (since Forest of the Giant Plants rotated), who has the same ability. I know this is...

Alolan Vulpix - would be pretty good if its other print wasn't the best evolving basic in the game. ●●○○○ Xerneas Prism Star - Evolutions Arcanine, but it's a basic and actually has good maths. Will be played in EVERY fairy deck that isn't mill. ●●●●○

Combee - Water Duplicates on a Basic. Only complaint is the pitiful HP. ●●●●○ Vespiquen - Pretty awkward, but that's a lot of damage considering we have Lurantis to boost it, and Parallel is rotating. A big problem for it though is if it ever becomes a serious threat, people can just tech...

Adventuring Satchel: Will be pretty good for decks that play multiple kinds of tools. ●●●●○ Fairy Charms: Great support for Sylveon-GX, as well as any fairy deck that has a bad matchup against Malamar or Buzzwole. The only problem is that it's in your opponent's control. ●●●●○

Glaceon is only really viable for water decks that play DCE, and I feel like it won't see an increase in play at all for that reason. Alolan Muk can be used in any deck that does not rely on basic abilities, but like you said, most good abilities are on stage 1's, so I think it won't see much...

Rotom easily gets rid of Silent Lab, because it plays 4 field blowers and maybe even a few Parallels. I do think we will have to use Muk, but I guess it's not as bad as I thought, since you only have to play a 1-1 line to wall Rotom.

This is actually a really good card for hitting numbers, but I just don't know if most decks can get it in the discard while keeping bench space available. The attack is quite good as well, a big improvement over Steam Siege Hoopa, because it can 1 hit other 130 hp basics. I think this will be...

Being able to 1HKO is always good, sometimes you just don't have the resources to get that KO without your GX attack. I don't know why Rayquaza becoming a thing would be bad for a fairy card, and Zeraora is not going to be as good as people are hyping it up to be. Sylveon does have an easier...

Alolan Ninetales-GX: Looks like a lot of fun, being able to pull out hammers while doing spread damage, and that GX attack is pretty scary. ●●●●○ Mimikyu-GX: Could be a fun card when used with Alolan Ninetales-GX and Tapu Lele, but it might be asking for too much. ●●●○○ Gardevoir: Decent...

For all of you saying Buzzwole is going to take over expanded, the top 2 decks imo are both weak to Buzzwole (Zoroark and Darkrai) and it still has losing matchups against both of them. I don't think Buzzwole gets any better from these bans, considering it has already gotten a lot of things...

You can turn off Garbodor's ability by playing field blower, so it isn't really that big of a problem. The big thing with Hex is that it could be used to just turn off your opponent's abilities, while still being able to use a 180 or 210 damage Riotous Beating. In Greninja's case, you do 40 or...

Sky field isn't inherently broken like Puzzles are, which allow you to get back your Ace Specs, and is easily countered by Soodowoodo or Parallel City. Why on earth would they ban battle compressor? If anything, battle compressor helps to diversify the meta by allowing decks that need cards in...

I forgot that deck was even a thing, Rotom can easily play Ranger anyway if that ever sees a glimpse of play

Actually, Archeops is still broken even without Maxie's, you play it down turn 2 if you go first, and they still can't play any evolutions for the whole game. Play it like Donk LatiosEX, and it isn't hard to pull off, especially since the undisputed best deck in expanded relies heavily on stage...

How I feel about all the bans: Wally: Trevenant can go step on a Lego in the dark Ghetsis: Turn 1 item denial is too good, been calling for this ban for a long time Puzzle of Time: You shouldn't be able to get back Ace Specs without using your attack/supporter for the turn, this one...

Doing 330 damage isn't very practical anyway, 270 1 hits everything regardless. It's just fun to be able to hit those huge numbers :P

Opinion on all new cards: Pinsir: Great option for a grass type attacker in non-grass decks. ●●●○○ Cascoon: Amazing ability, we just need some good Dustox and Beautiflies now. ●●●●○ Dustox: Great ability, my only problem with it is that Guzma sees a ton of play right now, so paralysis isn't as...
