Why do we need to be gusting out opponent's Pokémon to take KOs? Not having gust would increase the length of games which is something we absolutely need right now. Eventually your opponent will run out of things they can hide behind. Sniping decks could get around it, and 1HKO decks could take...

Not too bad, it's thank goodness they didn't update the legality. Both cards are widely disliked by competitive players. I personally think Marnie is a brilliantly designed card but it has a ton of issues in a format where the game most often ends between turn 4 and 6.

It's actually way better that this is a Basic and not a Stage 1 because of Quick Ball. It wouldn't be nearly as easy to find if it were an evolution.

A Heart Gold Soul Silver block did happen. It wouldn't be unprecedented for a mini-block to happen again.

Every new generation the Safeguard Pokémon like Sigilyph, Suicune, Hoopa, and next Decidueye and Altaria will stop being useable before they print the new Safeguard Pokémon. Next time I expect they'll use the Rule Box text instead of specifying GXs and Vs, but we can't avoid the cross over...

NO! It seems Vs are staying around for another year... :(

"Another 'soft' introduction for this new Legendary." (Originally at the bottom of main the post) This isn't soft, this is ridiculously powerful, in Expanded at least. Double Dragon Energy + Welder/Max Elixir for 240?! Altered Creation for extra prizes and you're doing 270 damage. Edit: We...

People only play Switches because of Raichu Raichu Tag Team. Before then, everyone played Float Stones or Guzma. Post rotation the only decks that play Switch are Eternatus (because of 3 retreat cost) and Urshifu to Switch out and into the active in the same turn.

From my perspective having played the TCG competitively for eight years, it is not a positive change. Type rearranging and the elimination of fairy types is positive from a competitive perspective, but ignoring dual typings all together in weakness and resistance makes the TCG even more...

Memory Capsule lets you get access to one of the most insane attacks printed.

I think it's kinda funny that they've printed a mechanic that will be almost universally hated amongst collectors (if they come in regular sets), and are probably not even good in the game. They won't improve it by much at all, that's for certain.

These aren't going to extend the 3-prizer reign any longer than it would've already, and these look like they have the potential to have a lot more skill involved than the 3-prize 1-2 attack beat sticks that VMAXs are (these 3 first V-unions are very uninspired though).

In that case the players have the power to choose whether or not Lv. Xs and old EXs count as rule box Pokémon.

No Pokémon before generation five had abilities (it was Pokémon Powers, then Poké Powers and Poké Bodies) so it wouldn't matter either way.

Are there any products we know of that could hold the alternate art Flareon, Vaporeon, and Jolteon VMAXes?

Melony specifically targets Vs (specifying Vs or GXs, and not both).

Cards should specify just Vs or just GXs, but when combining them both, it's a mistake not to use the Rule Box text because it means that when the next rule box card comes into existence, the card won't be future-proofed.

There's no way Peonia doesn't get immediately banned in Expanded. Yes, I would like to put 2 Greedy Dice and Jirachi ◊ in my prize cards, thank you very much.

Then play more Quick Balls/Communications. They shuffle the deck and find Crobat/Dedenne/Eldegoss. They solve the extremely niche scenario almost as well as Survival Kit, but also are infinitely more useful at any other point in the game.

The use case is so niche that it is terrible. You have to draw it in the first place after you've been Marnie'd out of what you want. And in that case you might as well just be playing more outs of what you want (more Eldegoss/Dedenne/Crobat), or an Oranguru to prevent Marnie from taking outs away.
