Nobody would buy a card for $500 that's ungraded? Have you seen Magic cards?

Okay, now that I see you're running Delphox, this makes it a bit easier. I would personally choose Blaziken EX every time. Its first attack does enough to OHKO Vespiquen with a Muscle Band, and the second attack will reliably do enough damage to OHKO any grass weak Pokemon, as well as Shaymin...

I played this deck a lot before Ancient Origins, and I will confirm: It's a lot of fun. Also, add in Dragalge, so they have to either attack with confusion, or use switch, and it gets pretty nasty.

I almost exclusively run Rogue decks. My latest, was Empoleon/Greninja at States this year. It took a lot of people by surprise, and I was able to win 3 of my first 4 rounds before I was late coming back from lunch (Woops). Its only really bad matchup was Toad... But unfortunately, there were a...

Only other thing you can do is wait for Mega Houndoom EX and Burning Energy.

Shouldn't your opponent's N, at worst, do nothing negative to you (at least in sheer number of cards in hand), and at best, help you? When you start the game, yes, you have 7 cards, but one of them has to be a basic. If you only have one basic, N doesn't hurt you. If you have more than one basic...

Huh, okay. I knew Wigglytuff was good, but I didn't actually hear of people using Muk. Of course, I was like 7 at the time, so most of my "experience" with early competitive Pokemon TCG is going to a Toys R Us once where people were playing, and reading a guide or something that had decklists...

Depending on how long you've been playing, you may already know some of these, but they're decks I remember since I started back in 2010. I'll try not to include anything that can be built in expanded. Donphan (HS) Typhlosion/Reshiram (HS-BW) Zekrom/Pachirisu (HS-BW) Charizard (MD-on) - One of...

Then the deck is pretty irrelevant to this thread, which specifically says, top XY-on decks. And I didn't realize that regionals being Expanded was enough to make Expanded the "primary format" for competetive play.

Team Magma's Secret base works wonders with this. Get 3 Magikarp on your bench with that out, and Gyarados does 210 damage for a DCE. Only thing is, after every KO, you need to be able to get a Magikarp back from your discard (Revive won't trigger Secret Base), search it out again, and evolve...

Seismitoad was probably Empoleon's biggest issue, but even then it was manageable. Even at States, where every other deck was Seismitoad, I didn't have too much trouble with it, and now it's losing HTL so I don't think it'll be as prevalent. Now of course, Empoleon is rotated, but Delphox is...

Can you explain the variants of Empoleon that have been around since long before Archie then? I've only seen Archie work in decks that aren't centered on Empoleon, like Night March. It's too inconsistent getting out 3-4 Empoleon using only Archie. Delphox, just like pre-Primal Clash Empoleon...

Delphox EX could have its uses... But I'm talking about Delphox XY. I've been running it on PTCGO, and it's a surprisingly good deck even when very few decks right now have a fire weakness. It has two big strengths, one being that it has built in draw, which is even better than Empoleon's was...

If Grass decks do take off because of the support in AO, like Mega Sceptile and Vileplume, and Metal decks are still strong... then Fire decks have a bit of an advantage against a decent chunk of the format. So I think if that's how the format works out, I'll be running the best Fire attacker we...

The issue I have with Medicham is needing 2 energy to attack. How do you get over that? I can get you the list I'm using later tonight, if you want that. I can say that it still needs some refinement, but it's working well enough so far. If you're worried about Machamp itself being too slow to...

Lucario EX/Machamp has been testing well for me on PTCGO without any Shaymin. Without N, Skyla, and Colress, Korina keeps this deck more cosnsistent than non-fighting decks that don't use Shaymin. The only pre-XY card I've been using is a single Landorus EX because I haven't found another...

I think the power of Level Ball in Night March, is that it can either one, get you a night marcher out for free, or two, can be used in conjunction with Ultra Ball to search out two night marchers and discard one of them, while playing the other. Battle Compressor can't get you anything out by...

Probably the most exciting card from Bandit Ring yet!

I'm not a big collector, so everything I organize it in ways that help me find what I'm looking for faster from a deckbuilding standpoint. I first have all my cards that are out of standard in tins organized by type and not much else, since I don't often need to find them. Then I have the cards...
