RE: Plasma (Thundurus EX / Deoxys EX / Kyurem) The only good thing about these changes is that Kyurem and Deoxys are safer on the bench. I'll actually be somewhat surprised if Blastoise has a field day at Regionals, seeing as Garbodor's a lot stronger than it was before the Catcher nerf.

RE: Neo Redux: Done. Finished. COMPLETE. 649 Pokémon+. Now I need YOUR help! I love you, CMP! It's been so awesome to see your progress on these cards day by day, and I can honestly say that this is by far the most well-made and extensive set of fakes I have ever seen. Looking forward to...

RE: Rogue Decks that can beat Meta Decks! It sounds just like a Plasma deck with different attackers. Leafon and Escavalier are both low-energy attackers that can do some damage, and it's not surprising to see them paired with Deoxys for extra damage. Though if you're going with Leafeon and DCE...

RE: Plasma (Thundurus EX / Deoxys EX / Kyurem) I would say that if Virizion/Genesect is running heavy Drifblim, it's a deck specifically designed to beat Plasma. Another Absol would help, but now that TDK isn't clear BDIF, I doubt we'll see too many V/G with lots of Drifblim.

Some lists only run 3, but I would never run fewer. This deck really doesn't work without Deoxys - 10 damage every turn per Deoxys is way too nice to pass up for extra Bangles or LaserBank.

RE: Darkrai EX / Sableye / Garbodor Darkrai/Garbodor doesn't have as many problems with time as other decks. Though it's not as aggressive as Plasma, I doubt the 50 minute limit will hurt it all that much come Regionals.

Dragon and Fire would be cool, but I'd probably go with Psychic. Telekinesis is way too exciting to pass up.

The thing about Garbodor is that even without Sigilyph's or Masquerain's Abilities in play, you can still Catcher+OHKO Garbodor with only 2 Tools attached to your own Pokémon (assuming Garbodor has a Tool attached to it). Tool Scrapper doesn't really help the Garbodor/Zebstrika matchup (where...

That's an interesting concept, but Pokémon generally avoids cards that have a lot of prerequisites to be able to be used. Cards like that are a lot more situational to set up, meaning luck has a much larger presence in one's ability to implement a strategy around the cards, which is why Fossil...

The reason it's so expensive is because there's no genuine alternative. Trust tpci to release a card only to the people who need it to do well the least :P

The Chiefs are going to do much better this year. I love Reid, though as I think it was a good move on the Eagles' part to let go of him. Smith is talented, and Charles will do well if their O-Line can perform. Unfortunately, they're in the same division as the Broncos, and I really don't see...

RE: Neo Redux: 26 to go! UPDATE: A singing dancing...thing. MEoW! (9/7/13) Wow, you've been busy! Everything looks fantastic - it seems like the cards just keep getting better and better. The holo effect on the Garchomp looks fantastic, and I love what you've done to connect the two Meloetta...

Chip Kelly doesn't run an extremely fast-paced offense. He's probably going to show a lot more affinity for running the ball than the Eagles have in past years, which will be great for McCoy and the defense. I'm not saying their defense is great or anything, but Chip Kelly's style isn't going to...

It was only really a flop because a number of people expected it to be tier 1. It's not a terrible deck and there are still some people who stick by it. With a solid build, it can do okay, just like Trubbish or Zebstrika/Garbodor.

RE: Rogue Decks that can beat Meta Decks! I saw someone playing that with some success at league. He used Terrakion and Exp Share for revenge KOs, which seemed to work pretty well.

No, 4 Silver Mirrors is best. You want a win against Plasma, and having 4 Mirrors vs. 2 gives you such a better matchup.

I'm guessing Plasma, Darkrai/Garbodor, Blastoise, and VirGen will bemost popular in that order. We'll see a couple Trubbish, Zebstrika/Garbodor, Darkrai without Garbodor, FluffyChomp, etc. here or there, but they're probably not going to be winning any Regionals.

Ron COULD have de-aged - we see his brothers try to age themselves in the fourth book, there's no reason it couldn't work backwards. Alternatively, Dumbledore's past is hazy; it's not necessarily true that everything stated in the book was the complete truth. If Ron had traveled back in time, he...

The Cowboys are absolutely terrible this year. They made no positive changes over the offseason, Romo is as bad as ever, and Jerry Jones still doesn't know what he's doing. Only he would have made himself GM. The Eagles have a mediocre defense, but their offense is terrific: the Eagles are...

RE: VirGen (Virizion/Genesect) You might be able to take out a Catcher because of Genesect's Ability. I haven't tested a whole lot with VirGen, so take it with a grain of salt.
