Out of interest, how does BA-M gardevoir deal with Decidueye/plume? Any comments on the matchup?

I believe gardevoir are like drinks; be careful while mixing them!

Well, I've never played it with blacksmith. We have exp. share to conserve the odd energy, but it only works while hitting with aero blitz. I have also adopted a Max Elixir for energy acceleration. It's a card that gets worse as you play more copies so I stopped at 1. Ninja boy doesn't work with...

Problem is, solgaleo/lunala-GX in the same deck feels/is really bad to play when you don't get both GXs down quickly. e.g. you get N'd after aero blitz or don't start with talonflame; it isn't great fun... typhlosion is interesting. However no one has of yet found a build that works really...

The roaring skies fletchling has 50hp, which is more important than the search attack due to decidueye-GX. Kukui > giovanni (not in the rest of the pokemon world though) Play 4 fletchling, that way you don't bomb nearly as badly when you have to start with 1. Charizard won't really work without...

Firstly, solgaleo/lunala has very little synergy (max potion and different weaknesses are the only things in your favour over just running 1 or the other). Secondly, if you have a lot of steam siege at your disposal I strongly suggest you build xerneas BREAK. I've recently been testing it and it...

Haven't played expanded in a while, but I'm pretty sure you don't need 2 jirachi, 2 keldeo-EX and you could also potentially drop a jirachi-EX (the competitive market value will fall with tapu lele being released) and Espeon-EX. Remember, a 1-of only has a 10% chance of being prized.

Hi, I worked on talonflame.dek a while back and would like to make some input: 1) There is a 50hp fletchling available from RS. It makes a large difference when it matters. 2) My list has 2 balloons because burst balloon really is NOT a card that you play 0 or 4 of. (e.g. Talonflame is one of...

In light of this, why don't we tech a 1-of silent lab or, more to the point, why is garbodor only a very rare inclusion in brilliant arrow gardy decks? Could play 4 spirit links and 1-2 floats; as opposed to 3 spirit links and 2-3 floats, due to the deck having fairy garden. EDIT: about the...

Thanks for the input! I mm2 matchup feels like it can go either way without DR gardy, but should be easy with it (Despair ray has it's other aforementioned perks). I imagine that Mray is a bigger problem then despair ray in what PRC gardy has to deal with.

PRC gardevoir can be a budget build... I know this was a big thing that revived PRC Mgardy when the STS version came out, however I don't really see Mm2 as that bad of a matchup (is it? Elaborate?). That being said, having a copy of despair ray turns the MU into close an to auto-win whilst it...

That's true, I'm just giving the guy room to experiment. I'm so glad the days when people hyped and tried to play xern/tina are over. My lack of surpise to it never top 32 almost astounds me! Dayum togekiss/darkrai sounds fun! I assume you've tried it (and it didn't work), but with all the...

Along the lines of the topic of this thread, I'm pretty sure Mgardevoir-EX PRC could do very well in the format (even on a budget) moving forward, due to its ability to start taking OHKOs, which the format should start moving towards with the release of tapu koko (that thing will wreck every...

Can you invite me to that also, as I'd really like to make a few points myself, which are however unrelated to the general topic of this thread.

Ok, so how does the fact that SM cards are going to stay in format for longer stop you from playing them? When gardevoir is rotated out, the SM cards will still have standard format competitive value and hence be easier to sell off, (or if you find another interesting deck they'll still have...

1) @neoshai, from your ptcgo examples, I believe you to have a low elo. Meaning that you will mainly only come across players who do badly, this doesn't prevent them from owning shaymin-EX, ironically. An actually good yveltal or darkrai deck should be hitting you on their 2nd turn, and maybe...

unown is pretty cheap drawpower that combos with dragonite-EX and the suggested Oranguru, as well as supporters in general. Ace trainer is also a good 1-of (more reliable than lillma thingy) considering that you want to setup with xerneas and will not be taking the first price.

I agree its getting a bit back and forth over a very minimal group of details, so sorry in advance for this: Well, typically, the odds of your opponent drawing out in the first turn are between 14.5-24% where 24% is: 4 syca 4 N 4 vs (1 supporter was discarded) 2 shay= 13 outs in 55 cards (prizes...

Actually, you forgot to factor in red card. And technically your calcs are for getting to hand with 3 pieces of tsareena in it, not neccessarily the correct 3. But having said that, there are so many variables it is hard to find a figure with a lower s.d. than 30% just through 1 man number...

1) its maths, not "math", I shouldn't have to say this to people so much... 2) mewtwo-EX has a cheaper energy cost: you can throw it down faster than espeon-GX (esp under garb). But I assume that you run a thicker espeon line and a thinner lunala line than me. 3)...
