So after an extended break (for a multitude of reasons), I'm trying to get back into the game. Trouble is, I'm quite out of the loop and I really don't know what I want to play. My current (outdated) deck is Zoroark/Magcargo. It's a fun deck and all but I'd like something new. Preferably standard format. I do know a little about the whole Tag Team GX thing and i'm pretty hype for some of the new ones coming out.

Anyways, I'm open to suggestions. Price isn't too much of an issue.
 
This is the second weekend of events with SM - Team Up legal, so I'm guessing a decent amount of players are like me, waiting to see if the same decks are doing well this weekend as last, or if the metagame shifts and previously established decks make a comeback or something new (or at least, new-ish) rises to the top.

Here are some of the lists that did well at the Oceania International Championship (Masters Division) last weekend. Massive jumps are me trying to find distnctly different decks.
