Well.Hello.I used to play the TCG and make decks but i have't played it in awhile so I wanted to know.What happening?What are the new rules and what decks are good?What decks are curculated out.Whats going on in the world of TCG?
 
well today in fact we just got our new format. and its HGSS-on. so starting in july you cant use any cards before the HGSS set. some of the top decks will be:

Scizor (uses scizor prime)
Steelix (uses steelix prime)
LostGar (uses gengar/mew prime and lost world)
Magnezone (uses magnezone prime and feraligatr prime or the emboar with the ability from BW)

there are others but these are the first ones that come to mind
 
Just to point out that there MIGHT be a rotation in July. Although it does seem more likely now since there's been an official announcement, there's still a possibility that the current Majestic Dawn format will go on until September 1st, after which the format will almost certainly be Heartgold-Soulsilver onwards.

If you're looking for decks that will work in both formats, the ones Catutuie mentioned are good decks. Other's I would recommend are Jumpluff/Cinccino , Reshiram , Tyranitar Prime and Donphan Prime
 
Well, you can use any card in Unlimited rules, but standard tournaments it's just going to be Heart Gold and Soul silver on.
 
dont worry. trading ia always a good thing to do. also you have till i think january till city championships and you could always go to league and trade to your hearts content.
 
Catutie, why are you calling such sketchy stuff the top tier? Scizor may still see significant play but with Garchomp leaving a lot of decks won't run much special energy and can walk all over it. Steelix might still be good, but with exploud gone its fire weakness hurts its tanking power.

Lostgar...we'll see. I think it's going to be a major deck, but it's going to sit in the tier 2/3 rogue spot.

Magnezone: Takes splash damage from everyone teching against Zekrom; fighting weakness will hurt with donchamp being the "obvious BDIF". Has a good matchup against Blastgatr.

What I feel is going to be top:

Donchamp: Donphan is an easy turn 2 attacker with a lot of HP, and sets damage on your own bench for Machamp Prime.

Blastgatr: 100 snipes and hits Donphan for weakness. Machamp is less of a problem because Machops/chokes can be sniped. Zekrom is a potential issue.

Zekrom: Fast. Turn 1 attacks for 120 are possible and even fairly likely with this deck. Donphan weakness gives it trouble, especially with its inability to OHKO through Donphan's body and resistance. Machamp comes out to make game over, if the game even goes that far; has to tech heavily to win this matchup.

I think those will be the top 3 as it stands, but the tiers will be close and tier 2 will be very wide, with Reuniclus variants, Emboar variants, Magnezone, and pretty much everything you've mentioned there making it. That said, none of the 3 decks mentioned above are a good match for the ones in your post, setting them a tier apart.
 
^i never said top tier. yanmega is very likely to be good in this format. copycat and judge are still here. and serperior could become very well used in most decks
 
Well for starters well comeback this is a really fun game to play and I hope you stay for a while. Now to address some stuff in the post above me ^ special energy are not going anywhere DCE will still be used all the time sp dark and metal are going to rise thanks to scizor and steelix and umberon one thing people have to realize with sp gone all of the rouge decks now have a chance again. And with your idea on steelix is still good all he has to do is tech in a water pokemon then its good when Beartic comes out that will be the prefect fire counter. I do agree with you Donpham will be big Zekrom will be big and blastgart will be big but dont count out Mangezone he stills one shots everything in the format.
