    What Would you Ban in the Format to Make it Better?

    Be that as it may, the cards have those costs. It isn't going to change. So what could be changed in the current format giving what he have to work with? Banning DCE is a valid, though not necessarily the optimal, idea.

    Expanded Alakazam EX / Gengar

    I'm pretty sure his intention was to play Gengar, and his mistakenly put Gastly twice.. Now you just play a 3/2 Haunter line and no rare candy

    What Would you Ban in the Format to Make it Better?

    True enough, but the game did go a pretty long time without DCE. The latter part of the RS era and the first half of the DP era there was no DCE, but rather other special energies like DRE & Scramble

    Expanded Alakazam EX / Gengar

    A few quick notes, I imagine others will add more You're in expanded with no Ace Spec Float Stone + Keldeo EX is basically superior to full heal (or if not, Audino definitely is) I'm not sure what you need 4 Exeggute for (I'm not certain you really need any, but certainly not 4) 4/4 Alakazam...

    What Would you Ban in the Format to Make it Better?

    I could get behind DCE leaving the format. I don't know about "banning" it persay, but it has been out for a sorta long time consecutively (ever since it came back in the SP era). Maybe bringing back Scramble or something similar. I dunno, I just miss there being reasons to play slower...

    'Fates Collide' Ultra PRO Portfolios

    Delphox is one of my favorite Pokemon, and Mega Alakazam IS my favorite Pokemon. Care to guess which I'll be getting?

    Standard Rainbow Toad (Seismitoad EX / Aromatisse)

    I see 4 Dark, and I'm not sure why... unless the Darkrai you have listed is the old DE (free retreat one). In which case that would make this deck expanded, not standard If that's not the case, I would consider swapping the darks for Fairy energy, increasing your Manaphy count by one OR playing...

    Standard M Tyranitar EX / Crobat

    hello, I recently built and tested this deck as well, and while I don't have time for a full elaboration-type post, I can offer you this insight: Crobat isn't even needed to take knockouts. Yeah, with just one Golbat M T-tar swings for 230. I think you can play one/zero Crobat just fine.

    Standard Speed M Rayquaza EX / Shaymin EX

    hello, I"m not an experienced Rayquaza player, so take my words with a grain of salt. That said, other Pokemon/techs to consider: Altaria (prevent weakness) Gallade & Maxie (counter weakness, added stability, good non-ex attacker for DCE) Milotic (and possibly AZ) vs. Puzzle of Time (another...

    Standard Dignified Toad (Seismitoad-EX / Empoleon)

    hello, from your list, there are a couple of changes that I would recommend. first, I'd look into adding Manaphy-EX from BKP, as he will give you a lot of flexibility with free retreat. I'd also recommend Team Flare's Grunt & Xerosic as re-usable ways to energy stall your opponent. I don't...

    Standard M Gardevoir EX / Giratina EX

    that's unfortunate, as he also fits nicely with AZ, which is already in the deck for healing purposes as well that said, if he's not an option for you, maybe up the Birch's Observations count to 3, consider 1 Judge (since you will be doing plenty of KOs with this deck, you can Judge on a turn...

    Standard M Gardevoir EX / Giratina EX

    hello, It could be that you are trying to do a bit too much, or overextending your resources. Consider dropping the Red Cards (and possibly Deliquent as well). I would increase your count of VS Seeker, Ultra Ball, Sycamore, Fairy Garden, & Max Elixir. You can focus your healing more on Max...

    Discussion Kingdra EX / Lugia / Magnezone

    Only because the OP mentions being relatively new, I thought I'd elaborate on this. The "7-prize trade" that Aeter mentions is as follows: If 3 EX's are knocked out, being worth two prizes each, all 6 prizes are drawn and the game is over. If you can, in an EX-centric deck, force your opponent...

    Standard Giratina EX / Vileplume

    Well, you wouldn't ever really be attacking with Dodrio under essentially any circumstances, so it'll be okay.

    Standard Shuriken Storm: Greninja BREAK

    hello, I played Greninja at FL Regionals so I can provide some insight: 1) The BKP Greninja is absolutely more valuable than his XY counterpart. Once you get 1-2 Breaks in play (which happens regularly) you no longer need (or can viably support) any additional discards beyond those two. 2)...

    TCG Fakes Z-Breaker - The Zygarde Set

    Hmm.. that is a tricky one... I'm not sure this is optimal, but here's one idea: Once during your turn (before your attack), the Pokémon this Tool is attached to may use the Ability of any Pokémon in play as its own. This effect can only be used to copy Abilities that begin with "Once during...

    TCG Fakes Z-Breaker - The Zygarde Set

    Hey Scrafty.. not a bad idea, but I think it might get confusing with passive abilities.. such as Trevenant and/or Garbodor, among others. Also, the current wording does not provide any restriction on using more than one of other Pokémon's Abilities per turn. So I could theoretically attach this...

    TCG Fakes Z-Breaker - The Zygarde Set

    Hi there, Is this set going to be image fakes, or text-based? Either way, seems like a MASSIVE undertaking lol, but especially if image. Regardless, best of luck to you. Look forward to seeing some of the Z cards.
