    News Lysandre's Trump Card Has Been Banned

    They did! It's called Wally. A BTS-like reprint would DESTROY the format. I guess you could make one for Dragons only because they suck so much, but then Noivern-GX would be quite strong. Yeea I'm happy with what we've got on BKT-On. Adios Forest!

    News August's English TCG Set: 'Burning Shadows'

    Ah yes, the joys of not even looking at your supporter count, just putting whatever and not getting punished. Well, if people didn't play pre-Seeker, now it's their time.

    News August's English TCG Set: 'Burning Shadows'

    Isn't the point of rotation to change the way the game is played from season to season? Why does everyone want to play the same game over and over again? Staples cards like Junk Arm and Broken Time Space never saw any reprints, so why does every card on XY must be reprinted? If you want a...

    News 2018 Rotation Announced!

    Oh no we can't mindlessly discard cards without being punished! :( @Topic: I expect a lot from the first months of rotation. About time VS Seeker, Ultra Ball and Shaymin aren't in the same meta. And the discard pile will soon begin to show it's true form, and it's not one of easy-accessing...

    Standard Yanmega BREAK/Golisopod-GX

    Well, having played Yanmega for a bit this season, let me say some things about her: - It's harder than it looks to have 4 cards in hand. You should trade 2 N for 2 Judge (assuming BKT/XY8 stays in rotation). - Yanmega got a nice partner with Shining Legends Marshadow. It's Ability is the same...

    Discussion 2018 Rotation and Important Trainers

    Guys, let's look at the last few rotations, based on this Google Drive file (Otaku posted somewhere else): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eMFMtKI4WwwEAqrcQn521vgV2EfK0xiaPi4iBJbKrHg/edit#gid=0 I'm only gonna see BW-On, because it's the start of the modern era of TCG. BW-On was the...

    Fun Most Damage Possible

    I don't have time to read the 4 pages of this post, but how about the Luxio FLF/Dialga & Palkia LEGEND combo? More info here: http://www.pokebeach.com/forums/threads/question-about-luxio-flf-interaction-with-palkia-dialga-legend.129468/

    Discussion Does Dragon Need a Basic Energy Type?

    Well we had dragons with multi colored attacks since... Around 2002. So, if they wanted do give Dragon its own energy, they would already done it on Dragons Exalted/Vault. But they didn't. So yeah, no. There's not gonna be a basic dragon energy anytime soon. If they do it, they're just...

    Discussion Does Dragon Need a Basic Energy Type?

    Not every good deck needs to be a tier 1 or 2 deck, and there's not lots of Expanded tournaments or people willing to test out Haxorus/Bronzong and get itemlocked or OHKO'd by a Joltik. But, as said by taschen, Haxorus BKT is a GREAT fun deck. It's Garchomp/Altaria on steroids, but gets...

    Standard Lurantis/Golisopod

    Hehehe. That's a flaw of the end of BW and almost entirety of XY era. The faster you went, the better. I'm glad I got to help! The big problem with using Lurantis Promo as Deoxys-EX is that you'll need the Fomantis to evolve into Lurantis-GX. You can build a deck that focuses on going ham...

    Standard Lurantis/Golisopod

    -- DISCLAMER: I have never played this deck, so don't take my advice as granted. You should test your build first, and if you're happy with it, never change it. -- -- POKÉMON -- From my perspective, you'll use Lurantis Promo to buff your attackers, and not as an attacker. The split between 3...

    Standard Yanmega/Vespiquen

    Hmmm I've been playtesting this build and got some OHKO's on stuff with 200 HP, so I guess the deck isn't doing so back in terms of damage. Yanmega holds the early game and puts pressure while I build Vespi. But does that fix the Metagross problem? I think the only way I can win this matchup is...

    Help Decidueye Comeback With Rare Candy?

    Nah, it's gonna be on the new style of Alternate Print. Trainers' Mail will retain its ROS set-symbol with a hugeass A, meaning that it won't survive rotation. See here for more info: http://www.pokebeach.com/2017/05/pokemon-changing-how-reprints-are-printed-likely-no-best-of-xy-set

    Discussion Does Dragon Need a Basic Energy Type?

    Sorry if there's any grammar mistakes, it's 3 a.m. here Yooo this became a crazy shitfest. I won't get into other peoples arguments - as much as I want I'll stay on the topic in hand. ---- I know the game isn't all the competitive factor, so I'll be taking both a casual aspect and a...

    Help Decidueye Comeback With Rare Candy?

    I do think they survive. AL Tales is already a good partner, next rotation with more and more frail basics + Wally still in rotation (Remember Generations), the deck will survive. There will be no Trainers' Mail next rotation.
