In speed decks Shauna could be used over Skyla to have twleve or more direct draw supporters in addition to Bicycles. Darkness decks are an example since these decks need a constant and stable card flow to maintain momentum.
Not sure on Shadow Circle since Yveltal Ex needs Virbank / Laser to ohko oppossing Pokémon Ex which is important in speed decks. Fairy Garden looks nice and works well with Xerneas Ex

I really don't like how Chesnaught and Greninja were printed as Basic EX's in this set which for some reason is an ongoing trend with P!P/TPCi printing Stage 1/Stage 2 Evolutions into Basics starting with Legendary Treasures with Excadrill and Chandelure as Basic EX's when they should've been printed as Stage 1/Stage 2 Evolutions instead. Xerneas.dec might actually become a thing now with Fairy Garden, Aromatisse, and Slurpuff however there's not very many competitive Steel Types in the format to keep it in check aside from Jirachi EX and Cobalion EX.
Aside from that I'm really happy that we got back PONT in the form of Shauna this format, Shadow Circle will be very annoying in Darkrai variants for getting around Landorus EX especially in Weavile/Exeggcute/Electrode to prevent Weavile from getting OHKO'ed easily however Tropical Beach is arguably the Stadium of choice since you only draw up to 4 with Electrode and with Beach you get up to 7 since you're going to be discarding alot using the Exeggcute/Ultra Ball combo for Propagation when using Weavile's Vilify with Silver Bangle attached.

Well actually, N being a high number promo doesn't really mean much since they'll probably rotate the remaining promos all in one go anyway. That is pretty likely since the last regular set version of N was printed back in Dark Explorers.DNA said:
I've heard some rumours about Beach getting rotated earlier, as in at the release of XY (but don't quote me on that) which could mean they could also rotate all the promos in one go as soon as then.
The promo rotation times roughly with when sets are released. BW100 was released only recently, so it'll be rotated when Legendary Treasures get rotated, most likely.
As an example, Kyurem NVI hasn't been illegal once since release due to being a BW promo (iirc it was BW44), and Dialga DP and Palkia DP were both legal after GE (its set reprint) due to DP promo prints (DP26 and 27 iirc).
Yes. N will be in the format for a while.

I will definitely love Shauna in my Speed Lugia deck where I need as much draw and shuffle draw as possible to burn though the deck but not deck myself out XD. Also, don't forget we still might get that pal pad trainer, which shuffles two supporters back into the deck.Think it might definately see some inclusion in decks that don't like discarding alot of resources.
