    News First 'Sun & Moon' English Set News!

    People have already gone over the possible applications for this card pretty extensively. It would work well with the grass support we have now, but I really want to think about the implications this could have on the game as a whole. If we get a lot of cards similar to this--hand disruption...

    Mega Garchomp-EX and Mega Salamence-EX Premium Collections in November!

    I really REALLY like that Salamence. I'm not sure if it can be successful on its own as a deck archetype, mostly because the mega isn't as good as the basic. But it could be with the right partner. I'm really keen to try it out and find a way to make it work, at least as a supplemental attacker...

    Japan's XY11: 'Explosive Fighter / Cruel Traitor', CP5: 'Mythical / Legendary Dream Holo Collection'

    Everyone seems to be assuming that the rotation will be Primal Clash-On, but with all these cards they're printing now PCL seems to be hinting that there won't be a rotation, at least in Japan. It's always impossible to tell if tPCI will follow what happens in Japan, but if I had to guess at...

    Discussion Would a sideboard work in Pokemon TCG?

    Night March isn't winning in Standard, that's for sure. It isn't even that good in Expanded. Look at Fall regionals results. There are many tournaments where it didn't even make top 8 at all. Heck, even look at the Pokebeach tiering threads. Night March is tier 2 in Expanded, and not even listed...

    Japan's XY9 Set: 'Rage of the Broken Sky,' New 'Battle Strengthening Sets'

    My guess is we'll get FA Skyla in the english set, like we did with Steven in AO, the set after it was released as a regular art (I know Skyla is a reprint). Also, Steven was a japanese promo, as was skyla. Hopefully we get a FA supporter in english, at least, although I too was hoping for...

    Worlds 2016 at San Francisco's Marriott Marquis, Dates

    Those dates were probably booked so that people who have to travel a long distance to get there don't have to come and go so quickly. Many people will want to stick around and do some sightseeing, I'm sure.

    Discussion The Blazing Hellhound - (M) Houndoom EX Discussion

    Scratch my idea of using M Houndoom! Once we get the new Fighting Spirit Belt in February that'll be completely outclassed. I can't wait to make this deck myself. Hopefully I can get some time to work on it soon.

    Discussion The Blazing Hellhound - (M) Houndoom EX Discussion

    In the mill variant, it might be a decent idea to play a couple M Houndooms with Shrine of Memories or Celebi EX and Max Potion. Would allow for better stalling, but I'm not sure there's enough room in the deck, since that would be at least 6-8 cards.

    Discussion Octillery BREAKthrough, Supporters, and Stage 1's

    There is no Octillery BREAK. It's just a stage 1.

    Discussion Octillery BREAKthrough, Supporters, and Stage 1's

    Okay, all the Octillery hate is really bothering me. This card will most likely end up being used a good bit in certain decks, and it will definitely have a good place in those decks. Being able to draw to 5 is much more powerful than you might think. In decks with high Shaymin counts, this card...

    'Battle Arena Decks: Mewtwo vs. Darkrai' Contents and Photos!

    Two of EACH EX practically pay for the whole product themselves! Not to mention the holo energies, great trainers, and everything else. These decks are really neat. Definitely will pick the set up, since I'm quite a new player. I really am glad pokemon is doing this, especially with the focus on...

    Next Destinies Shiftry Banned!

    Honestly, at this point with people complaining about Forretress as well, tPCI needs to think hard about unbanning Shiftry and possibly errata-ing FGP to only allow you to evolve a pokemon once per turn, or even banning Devolution Spray instead.

    Next Destinies Shiftry Banned!

    Banning Forest of Giant Plants would get rid of a whole lot of non-broken, otherwise meh decks. Instead, we should ban Shiftry, the pokemon which was complete trash without it, and leave the stadium be.

    'Blue Impact' / 'Red Flash' Japan's XY8 Sets, Next Set Block Titled 'XY: BREAK!'

    Based off of Zoroark break, I have come to a bit of a hasty conclusion, but I do think it has potential to be correct. Zoroark break is essentially Zoroark NXD with more HP and a cheaper attack (1 energy rather than DCE). Raichu break is confirmed to be coming, and I think it will follow a...

    Expanded Format for Entirety of Houston's Regionals... Expanded Expanding?

    I'm a very new player and this bothers me to no end. I started playing last November when Phantom Forces was new, and I'm seventeen years old and currently without a job. I have a really hard time building decks and this will only make things more difficult when I want to enter tournaments. I...

    Article Take a Bite With Crobat/Wobbuffet!

    Announced earlier today and effective June 20th, Trump Card is banned from all official tournaments. Welp. That actually really hurts this deck. You NEED the scoop-ups to be available many times, and you need to have the freedom of being able to discard things knowing you can get them back...

    Article Take a Bite With Crobat/Wobbuffet!

    I've been testing this deck out the past few days, and I find that removing miltank is definitely a possibility. It helps net some KOs, but overall I prefer to not have it take up the space in my deck, or use any of my small energy count (6). I also prefer to not have to worry about retreating...
