Opened a box of PLB, got in terms of higher than rare: 1 SR Rare Candy 1 Dialga EX 1 Jirachi EX I pulled a playset of pretty much any other notable card, including 4 Catcher, 4 Bangle, 7 Mirrors, 2 Suicune (Combined with the 2 from prerelease, got 4), 4 Caitlin, etc.

Like they have said, Flareon's goal is to discard pokemon and get them in the discard to power up Vengance. The pokemon you choose to run should either be ones to aid in the decks consistency (Electrode), survivability (Mr. Mime), or be able to put themselves in the discard without needing...

Flareon is an inexpensive deck if you don't count the catchers. Most of the cards max out at $2 apiece, most are commons or uncommons you can use (Cofagrigus/Electrode/Ditto are Holo Rares and Leafeon is a Regular Rare, but the rest are uncommon/under). Built well and it can tango well with top...

Lucario/Landorus/Mewtwo/Cofagrigus is a deck I piloted for many of my area's BRoads and won some. It's a very powerful deck that takes advantage of the format bar Keldeo, which I was aware no one in my area played an optimal build for (Otherwise I'd never touch this deck). Honestly, Cofagrigus...

Having Played Rayeels for teh majority of Cities and online, I have to say I prefer Shaymin in Rayeels for the simple fact it does have the one retreat cost, making my deck not have to play with just 7 energy once I use Shaymin to CFF. The argument that Emolga resists LandorusEX shouldn't really...

I'd cut a Level Ball for the 4th Eel (You need it, trust me), the Random Receivers for a 2nd Super Rod and a Ditto, perhaps a Zekrom for a Benchtini. Also, I'd cut the HTLs (I know, shocking) and the Victory Cup (Just have it in a different colored sleeve next to the area, don't hurt your deck...

I've been using Eels to pretty decent success. The gem here is the Spark Tynamo, lets you hit the straggling mons that you didn't manage to poison that turn on the bench, not to mention it diverts your opponent's attention from the rattata/raticate.

I personally think Biosmog Garbodor would be really good if you decide to run Hypnobank for math manipulation like DV Suggested (I highly recommend). It helps stall while you set up another Garbodor, can build up damage, and gives your opponent something else to target down. However, I don't...

I'd have really liked for John to talk about the pros and cons of the 3 usable Klinks for the deck. I've found just using DEX Klink makes you too reliant on switch, for example. If you are unaware of what I mean: Klink BW: Can hit 10+FACIH Paralyze for a single Steel, meaning you're not...

My top 5 favorite pokemon would have to be in order: Xatu, Cobalion, Torterra, Virizion, Deoxys. I collect Xatu and Deoxys Cards.

Every Eels variant will be running Keldeo EX in their builds, so it's just a matter of Dynamotoring once onto Keldeo, Rush In, Retreat (With Skyarrow in play), and Shred once more for death.

Blah: I guess I could say I do this, playing fun decks in the midst of serious testing...then start to get attached to the side decks I play. Something tells me this is a powerful method of monotony-breaking in testing I've yet to uncover. MMAmonchan: I've tried this, except in reverse. I give...

Hello Pokebeachers, I'd like to propose a question to the bright minds that lurk these forums and maybe spark a discussion. What do you do to make playtesting new ideas for decks fun, or at least bearable? I know excess amounts of playtesting can be quite boring for people who can't sit down...

I consider bad habits stuff along the lines of building with very few supporters in decks (I had this issue as I ran Empoleon during the BR season, then changed to a Darkrai build and wondered why my 7 Supporters were harder to hit), using a LOT of techs in tight deck builds (Why tech them if...

Well, it might be because I live in a smaller area, but I started Fall 2012 (The times of DRX Prereleases). I've already shown myself to be a top contender by getting within the Top 5 in all but one event I've attended (Really Top 4, just bubbled one of them). We have quite a few power players...

After playing this at a few cities, I'd like to point out a few things about the deck I feel you either forgot to mention, understated, or overstated: -4-4 Eels is a must. All skeletons should have it as 4-4, not 4-3. I cannot stress this enough, your eels are your life, you need to be able to...

RE: Japanese decklists - Vol. 1 - MewtwoEX/KeldeoEX/Musharna I think the reason Musharna was used was not only for top-deck manipulation, but also extra draw which wouldn't hurt. Having 2+ Musharna in play means you get 2 extra cards per turn, and 3 cards to look at to fit an energy on top of...

Playability: I think Regigigas's Playability is at an all-time high (Granted, it was never really high to begin with) thanks to the prevalence of Aspertia City Gym and the reintroduction of an influential Energy "Flooder" in the form of Blastoise. There are some niche functions that Regigigas...

RE: The "I pulled something cool" topic. Bought 2 BC Blister Packs, just to test this magical pull rate people said... FA Keldeo EX and my 2nd FA Bianca... I'm happy =P (Needed a Keldeo for my deck, can either trade the Bianca for a 4th Catcher or keep to let my mom use in her deck)

Sorry, I am probably wrong. I just remember reading in an old rulebook (P) being referred to as a mysterious type (I was upset it said that because I called it the psychic type until i came across that). If I could locate where I found that, I'd most definitely post it. Until then, I'll just...
