News 'Islands Waiting for You' and 'Moonlight of Alola': Japan's Next Sun and Moon TCG Set!

Or, you could go expanded, use fighting stadium, protection cube, and multiple strong energy to scare dark decks into submission. All you need is a garb to stop fright night from taking away the protection cubes effect. Dang! Now you got me thinking...

Protection Cube doesn't protect Minior, it reads "Prevent all damage done to the Pokémon this card is attached to by attacks it uses." while Minior just knocks itself out (not doing damage to itself).
 
How to use Minior:
1) Stack (Strong) Energy on a benched Regirock (XY promo 49).
2) Use Ninja Boy on it when it's full.
3) ???
4) 190-280 damage!
 
Actually, Life Dew says "If the Pokémon this card is attached to is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 1 fewer Prize card." so it should work with Minior. Great idea.

Sophocles = Discard 2 cards to draw 4
Hau, Tierno, Cheren = Draw 3

You need to discard 2 to draw an extra card for Sophocles. Just play Hau/Tierno/Cheren
 
I don't know... Sophocles might have some uses. I can see many situations where a player has a large hand - but only wants specific cards to be discarded. Think how one would use Aqua Patch or Mega Turbo - or playing in an item lock situation. You can discard some resources, and hope to draw more of them that could help make a combo strategy happen.

That said... It would have been nicer if it drew 5 cards for you in cases like this. -.-
 
theres not toxapex gx? is it going to be in guardings rising?
The Toxapex-GX was in the SM1+ subset, and is therefore not in Islands waiting for you/Moonlight of Alola. It will however be in Guardians Rising, along with Vikavolt, Sylveon and (presumably) Drampa :)
 
I am curious if anyone had any very cool deck ideas other than the all ready debated if it could actually work minior deck. Or any cards that could help existing decks be any better. Thanks for helping me out! I need some fun deck ideas. (BTW, just saying Tapu Lele Gx for any of these does not count, and please leave you reasoning why your idea could work in you comment as well!)
