Gamestop isn't doing this to build a collection. They're doing this to make profit. Obviously they will incorporate normal capitalization tactics when building their inventory. Sure gamestop might be shaving 15% off the market price when buying, but that's sadly a price you have to pay to have...

tbf kyurem gets countered by manaphy, which they normally play anyways. Drapion was a harder counter to mew vmax than kyurem is to lost box but mew vmax still dominated. Ironically kyurem is going to be best in a lost box deck against the mirror because they can afford to play prime...

Unless your deck has a good use for using jet energy, other than this specific combo, to justify running 4 jets, still not realistic. Keep in mind only lost box and lugia have been the only decks that run 4 jet energy

Can't realistically use tm Evo because you have to play it from hand to bench. (Need to retreat)

Entei only has a 2 energy requirement and magma basin was a stadium that helped accelerate energies. This allowed the use of sqwak and professor's research to cycle through switch cards. Brute bonnet needs 3 darkness energies to attack. Powering up this thing is realistically only possible with...

Don't think you can pair brute bonnet with iron valiant because bonnet needs 3 darkness energies to attack. You'd be clogging too much of your deck to put in a future engine with switch cards. Ancient box pairs naturally with a poison strategy already because of the other brute bonnet being able...

There's a magarco that burns on switch in so if you pair it with a poison strategy, you're almost guaranteed atleast 150 damage from brute Bonnet every turn because they will either take poison damage or burn damage if they switch. Though there's counter play because they can evolve to remove...

Volbeat is actually good torterra support. You can grab turtwigs you can't get with poffin.

No because okigi needs 2 fighting energies and luminous only provides one energy at a time

nah currently the best future deck is just a pure iron hands ex deck. It's worse than the current miraidon+iron hands ex turbo deck because of no DTE and forest seal stone. The T1 amp you very much is waaaay less consistent. Unless you can T1 amp you very much, iron hands ex is just a worse...

Research is perfectly balanced though, which is why ptcg has consolidated the discard draw 7 effect into one defacto professor's research card, instead of just printing different professor cards, removing potential of professor research cards having different draw effects. It's not like you can...

i mean feraligatr is gonna be played in the prerelease format whether or not an ex is revealed so that doesn't really mean anything.

That's not a pokemon tcg issue, that is a concept issue. The rules of the game are extremely easy to understand, one supporter per turn, one attachment per turn, etc... I'm not sure who you're speaking for but I find it hard to believe that someone will turn away a card just because it has a...

Only problem is that splitting your attackers that can only come from only 4 basics is not a really good strategy.

You're use your supporter for turn for only 280 damage. No card cycling, no improving your board state. Yea you don't want to use cryptomaniac just to hit 280 on this card.
