    Guzma & Hala, Walrein, Kommo-o from 'Alter Genesis!'

    Wake me when, 1. Level Ball is reprinted and, 2. A wothwhile stage 2 search card introduced. Otherwise, these stage 2 attackers feel empty in standard to me. We can't utilize them unless we can actually get them out constistently! >.<

    'Alter Genesis,' 'High Class Pack 2019' Sets Announced for Japan!

    Every time I see all these interesting stage 2 attackers, I keep thinking: They all pretty much auto-lose to the Tag Team decks right now, as all the trainer cards needed to set them up are still non-existent in standard right now.

    Discussion What is a "healthy meta"?

    To me, a healthy meta is one that has room to constantly evolve - where Rogue Decks can be built successfully, and various playstyles, types, and stage lines are accommodated. Yes, there could be only 5 BDIF's - But each one with an entirely different playstyle than just GX's everywhere. Since...

    'Pokemon V' Mechanic Announced: Zacian V, Zamazenta V from 'Sword & Shield!'

    I must confess: I pretty much stopped playing the TCG Online, solely because of the gigantic sets. They dilute the pull rates so much that it became major loot box hell there. If 200+ sets will remain the norm like this, and card values stay real volatile, it turns too much into pay to win there...

    Top 8 Finalists Announced for Pokemon TCG Illustration Grandprix!

    My Favorite of the top 8 was the Metagross with the steel bars tied around it. It takes talent to give such humor to a stiff and stern Pokemon like that! xD

    Discussion Welder

    I never thought Welder was severely broken - Just a very powerful card. True, it does add major power to Blacephalon and ReshiZard, and is literally the backbone of making those decks work. But it also allows to other cards to shine as well that could never work otherwise. Like, Blissey LOT...

    SM11 Miracle Twins!

    Huh... Who knew Noibat was ever a Dragon type to begin with. Must be one of those "Delta Species" dealies. Also, that Sewaddle Translation is very unclear. Is it saying that you get to search for 2 stage 1 forms of itself - in this case, Swadloon - To put on the bench? And was it designed to be...

    'Unified Minds,' August's SM11 Set!

    So I'm guessing set will also include the Japanese starter deck cards as well, given that Umb-Rai and Esp-Eoxys are inas well. Like that cherish ball, for instance.

    SM11 Miracle Twins!

    I can't believe it... They actually made this Sightseer's art look like a selfie photo. Pretty silly if you ask me! x)

    SM11 Miracle Twins!

    What a grim side effect of "Judgement." :/ Necrozma sounds like a nice tech in Malamar, as 160 can hit numbers on the bench setters like Dedenne-GX and Jirachi-GX.

    'Trevenant-GX Box' in October!

    I can't lie... The idea of a Trevenant Tag Team screams of a lock or control-based strategy running around it. But I really hope it isn't so. >.>

    Dugtrio Deck

    Can you show us your list so far for this deck first? I'd think this place is more for feedback on your own decklists, rather than begging for someone else's.

    Alt. Format Casual Decks for Fun and Learning

    My best advice is to look at winning deck lists in tournaments, then compare their card counts and analyze their strategies of winning. You can find them here: http://limitlesstcg.com/tournaments/ No, these are not very budget friendly by any means, and you don't need to build the lists. But...

    Discussion Zebstrika or Jirachi for Card Draw?

    Aqua Patch was only from the GRI set, so it it will be rotating as well.

    'Sky Legends' Officially Revealed!

    Looking at Magnezone again, I find it could be surprisingly versatile, as Electric and Metal has been given so many options to power it up, and its attack can recycle much of that support. Like, it can utilize MelCario's GX move and Frying Pan for defence, Electropower for offence, and...

    'Sky Legends' Officially Revealed!

    That Tapu Fini existing is a sign that the designers regretted making Blacephelon-GX in the first place. I mean, it is so obvious a counter card that nearly anyone who knows the meta could notice that! xD

    2020 Standard Format Announced, Goes Into Effect Before Worlds!

    Wow did they show no mercy to standard. I would have thought CRI would have stayed, given it introduced the Ultra Beast mechanic. But ULP-On, and Worlds having to abide to it... That is a really hardcore stance to force upon players.

    Standard QuagNag

    I've been testing that decklist online as well, and made my own adjustments to it. But either way, the concept works quite well: Keep attacking with the 1 prizers, while recycling energy over and over with wishful baton until you have enough energy for KarpLord to finish off the bench. This is...
