Oh man, that Cradily. I have no idea how effective it'll end up being but I can't wait to make a Stage 2 Toolbox deck.

PlasmaKlang will most likely be dead when this comes out. There's a lot of non-ex attackers coming out in Plasma Freeze and this set just boosts those even more. If PlasmaKlang is still good, then this might be interesting to boost consistency, but the fact that it gives up prizes so easily and that it's unlikely PlasmaKlang will be good after this set means that yes, Jirachi EX is really bad.
Ehrmahgerd dat Sigilyph. 4 Eviolites gogogogogo!
Emm... Yeah.
So, I'm making stage 2 toolbox. No-energy Drifblim might be cool, or with just, like 4 DCEs.
Haxorus + Cradily anyone?
Emm... Yeah.

Looking over this set, I see...
The artwork theme this time appears to be more of the BW2 locations (I notice Lentimas Town and the Strange House), plus the rooms that the E4 battle in.
Masquerain: Reminds me of Mismagius GL LV.X. Unfortunately, Masquerain itself isn't very strong. If it were, the ability would have a lot of utility. Salvage those Eviolites for when you really need them.
Lileep: Prevents deckout. Fun. So do the others.
Cradily: It's GCC, not GC, for its second attack. But who cares? Life Explosion is the greatest thing ever!!
Accelgor: I think its first attack is supposed to be Fated Revenge or something, not Revenge and Prataya. I have no idea if 'Prataya' is even a real thing.
Virizion EX: It actually looks pretty nice. Immunity to Special Conditions for Grass Energy holders, and can (relatively cheaply) attach 2 Grass Energy directly from the deck, helping guys like Genesect EX (obviously) or even Cradily. Or that one Tangrowth with Hundred Whips or whatever it's called.
Volcarona: I really like that first attack. Deck thinning like a boss.
Drifblim: Anti-Team Plasma! Attack for free YEEEEEEEEEEEAH (By the way, Derail discards a Special Energy on the target, not any Energy. Says as much on the card.)
Pixie Trio: I'm loving Psy Power and Psy Jamming. Early-game pressure and then later moving around Special Energies like a troll.
Sigilyph: 4 Pokemon Tools? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL /shred
Golurk: That looks so cool. Not battle-wise, but appearance-wise.
Machamp: I'm somehow worried about that. Landorus EX might take over the format again.
Sawk: lolplasmadonk
Archeops: Defeatist! I see it!
Jirachi EX: You're...You're joking, right? You have to be joking; this can't be a real card.
Dialga EX: I don't know about you guys but I honestly think this is a cool card. First attack is pretty nice and no mistake, but I'm more so looking at the second - CCCC for 90, and as an added bonus, mill your opponent for your Plasma Energy's worth. It's like rubbing salt in a wound. I honestly could see this card becoming pretty strong.
Palkia EX: In comparison to Dialga EX, this guy is so utterly underwhelming. I'm saddened. It's got your typical hit-and-run that you see on Palkia often, but the second attack is ew.
Haxorus: Both of those attacks are absolutely amazing. Haxorus in Klinklang gogogogogogo
Druddigon: Oh look, a cheaper Shred. I could see that being used in some other decks as a tech, maybe.
Chatot: -1 Tool Scrapper, +1 Chatot. gg Sigilyph
Root Fossil: Why is there no Claw Fossil? I miss Armaldo!
Silver Bangle: Now we're talking. With this, pretty much any run-of-the-mill Pokemon can mount an attack against Pokemon-EX, dealing 30 more damage to them. I can easily see this in decks that aren't really "exxentric", one possibility being Fluffychomp if we have a DRX-on rotation, but there'll be others as well. Regardless, Silver Bangle is a fantastic card.
Silver Mirror: Another relic of Opelucid, it looks like, granting immunity to Team Plasma Pokemon. Now go stick it on a Sigilyph DRX and you have a funny wall. ...I'm just kidding; that thing dies to Shred.
Reversal Trigger: So, upon Knock Out of a Team Plasma Pokemon, you get to add any 1 card from your deck to your hand? So much for Computer Search. It's like Final Wish, but has anyone actually used Manaphy yet? No. They should.
Caitlin: This is actually a really nice draw supporter, I feel. It's a bit limited in scope, but at least it puts things you don't want where you won't draw them.
Scoop Up Cyclone: It's the classiest way to surrender a game. Have 1 'mon left, play Skyla, search for it, enter scoop phase, gg!
And I believe that's all I have to say about this set. Oh, except for:
SHINY EXEGGCUTE AWWWWWWWWW YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH

All those stage 2's with decent attacks just became playable. Emboar/Cradily/Charizard or Gallade/Blastoise/Cradily FTW! Oh yeah, dual brains magnezone could probably be used as a one-of too 
I was hoping Dialga EX would be a bit more playable though...

This set is destroying all Plasma Pokemon and EX Pokemon. That Cradily could be format-changing, and I love that Haxorus is a Plasma deck troll. Also, that Sigilyph is hilarious. If Mew-EX could steal abilities, that would be awsome. A Mew-EX with 4 eviolite or giant cape to give that guy a chance for life.
