    2024 Championship Season: Point Requirement Raised, Regionals Announced!

    600 points for Masters in US/Canada is so disappointing, especially with the decreased best finish limits for local events. Worlds invite is only possible if you’re able and willing to spend a lot of money traveling

    Yveltal EX / Garbodor for Regionals

    It's not helpful to tell someone to disregard this very successful deck because you personally don't like it. I think this deck can require some experience to play properly, since the strategy is not just attach to Yveltal and use Evil Ball. SpeedyJ, I would definitely add a Darkrai EX...

    Counter That Deck

    RE: Counter That Deck! Landorus EX, Hawlucha, Silent Lab (to let Hawlucha hit for weakness). Everything attacks for only one energy and hits M Manectric for weakness.

    Aromatisse Variants

    @cardgjammer, that may the most confusing post I have ever read lol. I also don't think it's necessary to obsess over the Landorus/Bats matchup since it's already not great and which Charizard (if any) you choose to pick will have little impact on the macthup. In addition you use a whole lot...

    SoCal Regional Results?

    Does anyone have the results for the Southern California regional championships for the masters division? I've been searching online but I can't find them anywhere. Thanks.

    DarkLeaves (Yveltal EX / Darkrai EX / Leafeon)

    I want to start by asking what purpose Leafeon serves. Yveltal EX also does damage based on opponent's energy, and it's much more effective at doing it. You already have a decent matchup against Seismitoad (and I would argue that it's a pretty strong matchup). So is Leafeon for Kyogre? I...

    Exploding Eruption (Primal Groudon EX / Hawlucha EX / Landorus)

    What is the point of Hawlucha EX? With Primal Groudon needing 4 manual energy attachments (or attachments plus several Shouts of Power), it seems to me the only way Groudon could ever work would be with a lot of 1-energy attackers. Hawlucha EX (which, just for reference, is an EX has as much...

    Disruption Punch! (Seismitoad-EX / Slurpuff)

    With this deck your worst matchups are Virizion Genesect (weakness) and Metal (Chrono Wind, and Aegislash). Fortunately, both decks are weak to fire, so if you could find the room for a Pyroar or two and change the water energy to fire you could potentially solve the problem. If you don't want...

    Night March Variants

    RE: Night March Imo, running Night March without Eeveelutions gives you a great matchup against EX-heavy decks, a poor matchup against non-EX decks, and autolosses to all Pyroar and Seismitoad decks. There are lots of creative decks running around right now that don't just focus on Yveltal or...

    Genesect EX / Virizion EX / Yveltal EX

    This would be your new list if you took all of Mora's recommendations (which imo is a good idea). Pokemon: 8 3 Virizion EX 3 Genesect EX 2 Yveltal EX Trainers/Supporters/Stadiums: 37 4 Professor Juniper 4 N 3 Skyla 1 Colress 1 Lysandre 1 Lysandre's Trump Card 1 Shadow Triad 2 VS Seeker 3...

    Yveltal EX Variants

    Thank you all for the responses. As beautifully as my current Yveltal build (without Garbodor or Manectric) runs, I have faced a few too many Fairy and Seismitoad/Pyroar decks to consider it a safe play. I only have access to one Seismitoad but I could add either Garbodor or Manectric, and...

    Yveltal EX Variants

    Just got run over by a Fairy deck with Florges. Anyone have any tips on how to improve that matchup? Or even how to play that match? Thanks.

    XY5 'Gaia Volcano' and 'Tidal Storm' Leaking! [12/10]

    What does everyone think about the Kingdra with Alpha Growth? Slap on a Silver Bangle and you're getting KOs on all non-Megas (and Wailord EX). And it could easily pair with Kingdra PLF for some huge damage and late game energy recovery. Plus, new Kingdra has beautiful art. I'm a huge fan of...

    ManVirGen (M Manectric EX / Virizion EX / Genesect EX)

    You're having trouble with consistency with 14 draw supporters, 2 VS Seeker, 2 Bikes, and Jirachi? That's pretty incredible if you ask me. If anything, you might have too many consistency cards... do you often draw hands of all draw supporters? I would probably agree with TuxedoBlack about...

    Mr. $eismoneytoad and the Black Angry Bird (Yveltal EX / Yveltal / Garbodor / Seismitoad EX)

    RE: Mr. $eismoneytoad and Black Angry Bird (Yveltal EX / Yveltal / Garbodor / Seismitoad EX) That looks like a really solid list, so I don't really have any recommendations. My only question is if 10 draw supporters has been working for you. I play with 12 and that occasionally seems like too...

    Now That's a Shocker (M Manectric / Eelektross / Zekrom EX)

    Here are 9 cards I would drop: -2 Holon's Castform (seeing as your deck only needs lightning, this doesn't add much) -1 Tynamo & -1 Eelektrik (with Manectric also accelerating energy, a 4-4 line isn't as necessary as it normally would be) -1 Zekrom or -1 Zekrom EX (drop one or the other...

    Ruling Umbreon's Ability

    Umbreon from Plasma Freeze has an ability, Dark Shade, that states, "Each of your Team Plasma Pokemon in play gets +20 HP." First, as a Team Plasma Pokemon, does Umbreon get the HP boost from its own ability? And second, does the ability stack? (If I have two Umbreon in play, do my Plasma...

    Sparks of Lugia

    4 Thundurus isn't needed, 3 should do the trick. You only need/want 1-2 out the whole game. Try another attacker. 4 Colress is WAY overkill. You don't want that in your opening hand. I would switch for a 3rd N (3-3 split works well for me). You don't really want to be attacking with...

    DelBoar (Delphox / Emboar)

    DelBoar Sorry, I know this thread was a bit older, but this deck really interested me. Your list looks pretty solid, but I have a few comments/questions. 1. Ideally, you want to get 4-5 Stage 2s in play. With that many Stage 2s needed, do you think it would be better to run 4 Rare Candy? Or...

    Virizion / Genesect / Deoxys

    I have to agree with Helti. Dropping the Virizion to 2 is a bad idea for a few reasons: 1. You need 1-2 Virizion out per game. If one gets discarded or prized, you only have 1 for most of the game. This is a problem especially against Garbodor or anything that can KO T2/3 2. You can't...
