    Yep! I don't play the games as much as I used to, but I still very much enjoy the series~

    New Mewtwo xy 12 potential?

    It's sole purpose in the current game is as a check to Mega Mewtwo. With a Fighting Fury Belt on it OHKO's any Mewtwo Y with 4 energy attached for a DCE, and cannot be OHKO'd back by anything less than a 4-energy Mewtwo Y due to it not hitting for weakness. Their out would be to set up a...

    P!P/Rules Should Garbodor be Banned?

    That Beedrill was brought up in the thread earlier, and basically the problem is that it's an attack. Unless people are running really light on Tools due to there being no Trainer-based discard for them atm (I haven't started playing on TCGO yet so I don't really know), it's pretty reasonable to...

    Blog Steamy Surprises: An In-Depth Look at Steam Siege and Worlds

    Well Dragonite isn't locked to taking only Grass and Lightning energy. It can take any basic energy whatsoever, so you could play him as a one-of in almost anything and take whatever you need to get an attacker going. Seismitoad or Genesect could make some use out of it for example, or even...

    Blog Steamy Surprises: An In-Depth Look at Steam Siege and Worlds

    An additional sweet Ninja Boy combo that you could use (and I so want to see on the Worlds stream even though I know nobody will probably do it lol) is with Dragonite-EX. Bust In to take all the energy you need from your Pokémon onto one spot, then SURPRISE JUTSU it to something else in the...

    Greninja BREAK

    The only reason I still run my 2-2 line on PTCGO is because there is no way for me to get Jirachi. Which admittedly is a pretty big problem for running this deck against certain decks, but sadly that's how it has to be. With that said I do feel like Octillery is useful for this deck even now...

    Trevenant BREAK

    One of the biggest ways Night March decks tend to outdo Trevenant is to stall using two Shaymin and continuously Sky Return between them, which dwindles your HP down whilst preventing them from getting KO'd back since they keep picking the damage up off the board. Bursting Balloon doesn't help...

    Trevenant BREAK

    I do kinda like the idea of Megazam, but I'm a bit worried about keeping things consistent. hat sort of line are you talking about here? I guess maybe a 2-2 line with 2 Spirit Links wouldn't hurt things too much, though I'd probably need to use more Mystery Energy incase I started Zam (I've been...

    Trevenant BREAK

    Yeah, I've been looking at changing things up with my Trev deck on PTCGO and I'm not feeling hammers in the slightest. Trying to put them in has harmed my consistency too much, especially since in all honesty you don't really want to have them in your opening draws. Especially if you're going...

    Discussion Anti-Meta Serperior

    I should probably try out Sceptile to be honest, as it does work well with Ariados (which I play a 1-1 line of). Not too keen on Virizion myself, since it really does nothing unless you're losing the game, which for two attachments is really lackluster. Miltank has been my go-to mon because of...

    Should TPCi Offer Optional Subscription Service On PTCGO?

    Minor nitpick: 200 minutes is 3 hours 20 minutes, not 1 hour 40. Doesn't change your argument, but it bugged me anyhow!

    Discussion Medicham Viablity?

    One very important point to note here is that you cannot use any other cards after declaring that first attack. This means that your opponent has absolute control over what you attack second if you KO something on the first hit. All of these plays about "KO'ing two Night Marchers", or "Double...

    Discussion Anti-Meta Serperior

    Well, since it furthers the discussion anyhow, let's share what I've set up at the moment: ****** Pokémon Trading Card Game Deck List ****** Pokémon - 16 2 Miltank FLF 83 2 Shaymin-EX ROS 77 4 Snivy FAC 5 3 Servine FAC 6 3 Serperior FAC 7 1 Spinarak AOR 5 1 Ariados AOR 6 Trainer Cards - 38...

    Discussion Which M-Manectric EX Variant Plays Better?

    Yeah, I'm not sold on Vileplume with Mane. Mane needs your opponent to have tools on them, and Mega Mane needs the Spirit Link for itself. Neither of those things can happen whilst Vileplume is on the field, so honestly you're gimping yourself by blocking all items. Vileplume itself is also only...

    Discussion Anti-Meta Serperior

    I must have built my deck slightly wrong or something then, cause I have zero space for Devo Sprays :o. Heck, I was trying to fit a fourth Muscle Band in and even that's impossible for me! But it still flows incredibly well, so... eh? Maybe it's not really needed, just a nice luxury? I mean...

    Discussion Anti-Meta Serperior

    I don't like the idea of Forry as much to be honest. Forry itself can't be searched out with Level Ball, nor can it be recovered with Revitalizer. It does kinda do the same thing in providing an extra damage counter, but it only does it once. I also find that both deck and bench space are at a...

    Greninja BREAK

    There are a couple of attacks that spread from what I'm seeing on PTCGO, but none of them are particularly good. The biggest one is Kyurem-EX with Glaciate, but it takes 3 energy to do that attack. Froslass from Generations puts 4 damage counters on the enemy field, but again takes 3 energy...

    Yveltal-EX Variants

    The difference between Max Elixir and Dark Patch is that Dark Patch still accelerates from the discard, whereas Max Elixir accelerates from the deck. Dark Patch doesn't contradict Yveltal at all - in fact it helps it out. You aren't pressured to keep using your attack for energy acceleration, so...

    Sylveon

    Is there ever a case for running Moonblast on Sylvs as a fourth move? The idea would be to have a decent STAB option that can be used if Wide Guard can happen, since that move really just destroys Sylveon so badly. I don't hugely rate Hyper Beam despite the power because it just wrecks you the...

    OU: Strategy Striving for Perfection vs Striving for Self-Improvement

    Whilst it is an unattainable goal to strive for, Perfection kinda has to be on the mind of most top players in any competitive game/profession. However, the step-wise process towards this is best described by Self-Improvement. ... that probably sounds confusing as all get-out, so lemme try to...
