    Standard Speed Zygarde

    If vespiquen is still a thing, then you absolutely need it. But in some cases you could run without it if the meta is right.

    Discussion Ninja Boy Deck Ideas...But Which One!?

    it's pretty hard to make an anti-meta deck when the meta is so unclear, and extremely diverse. It's not like Nats/World's where you knew to expect NM/Trev/Vespivile/Frogs and pretty much nothing else.

    Blog Playing Pokemon The Cheap(er) Way — Tips On Saving Money

    Your pre-release experience is far different than our local one, which makes me believe its tied to the local game store's choice. Ours is $25 USD for a guaranteed 6 packs, plus a ton of packs given away for T3 in each age group. The pre-release promo also runs between $5-$10, which instantly...

    Standard Flareon-EX Deck!

    Best of luck at your first tournament. There's a reason Shaymin is the best card in the game, most expensive and most desirable. Hopefully your experience at tournaments will help learn the strengths and weaknesses of your deck. I run a Flareon deck and I highly suggest you make room for...

    Standard Flareon-EX Deck!

    Rotation happens once a year, Shaymin will rotate next Sept unless its reprinted.. and it won't be. The above advice about not using Shaymin because it'll rotate (eventually) is terrible, if you plan to be competitive, you will need Shaymin's.

    Zygarde and Volcanion 'Elite Trainer Deck Shield Tins' in September!

    Looks like it works exactly like the previous ones did, what makes you think the dice case cover isn't slide on?

    Standard Serperior is Superior

    Agreed, the deck is completely deck. The lost of SSU, AZ and Muscle Band mean its entire strategy no longer works.

    Discussion The Math on Talonflame

    True, you must have 1 basic. Some rough math, if you had a deck with 1 basic and 4 talonflame, you're 4x more likely to draw a talonflame if you choose only 1 card. All other hands are mulliganed if you got neither the basic or talonflame. Isn't that scenario then a 80+ % chance you'll start...

    Discussion The Math on Talonflame

    No, you're missing the point. Although you have 60% chance of not getting Talonflame in your hand, what really matters is the chance you don't get Talonflame and do get another basic. A deck with only 4 Talonflames has a 100% chance to start with Talonflame.

    Discussion The Math on Talonflame

    But its not just about getting Talonflame in your hand, you also have to account that you don't get any other basic Pokemon which would result in a mulligan. So these percentages have to be unique for each # of basic pokemon a deck might run.
