    News 'Dark Order,' Japan's October Mini-Set!

    In that situation, yes. In all other situations, Sightseer is better for card draw... and if that's what the deck needs, I'd rather run 2 Sightseer than 1 Sophocles, and 1 Twins. Especially under the original context, of wanting a discard supporter.

    The problem is, often times you want a draw supporter when your hand is bad. If you have 0-1 cards in hand, Sophocles is not playable, and at two cards, is just an objectively worse option. This alone, makes me favor Sightseer. But, that doesn't mean there aren't a list of other scenarios in...

    Definitely don't need a playset, but I can see 2 copies in decks that want discard~ I think the purpose of the newer supporters is to cut-down on raw draw power. If that's the case, we will see less discard support overall; making Sightseer a more viable choice.

    News 'Dark Order,' Japan's October Mini-Set!

    As Rooie said. Sightseer is actually good. Draw to 5 is solid; not great, but definitely usable. Optional discard is what makes it staple material. You can throw away specific cards, without having the collateral damage of Sycamore. Together with Acro Bike, I think it's a great choice for...

    Discard Darkrai-GX. Activate ability. Attach Energy. Play Nanu. Replace Darkrai-GX with your attacker. Seems like a solid addition to the dark archetype; especially in Expanded with Darkrai.

    SM7a 'Fairy Rise' Announced!

    Sorry. Morning Math. added an extra proc, and forgot the "10+" What card(s) would you add for draw support? Initial thoughts: Marshadow Oricorio These can be used and discarded, and are also searchable via Mysterious Treasure.

    SM7a 'Fairy Rise' Announced!

    Dragon Majesty releases September 07, 2018; with Dragonite-GX. Agreed, to an extent. Remember, you'd only have up to 4 Giratina. So, bench would likely be: Giratina Giratina Giratina Giratina/Back up Cofagrigus Back up Cofagrigus So, 120/150 damage, 30 from CB. Next turn bring back 3...

    Oh, you're right. I've misread that card twice now... Good looking out~

    @Mysticvulpix that new Sceptile-GX might be what you're looking for... Haha. Turn1 : Net Ball Grab Treecko + Grass Energy Use Grass Energy to evolve Eeevee to Leafeon Pokemon Fan Club for 2 Treecko GX attack 3 Grovyle Turn2: Grovyle abilities for 2 Sceptile-GX and 1 Sceptile CST~

    Verizion seems like a solid card, but I'm not sure it hits the numbers it needs to, to be relevant in the meta. If you want to try for a stage2 Grass deck, Leafeon-GX may be worth a try!

    Hmmm... I think the strength of counter Ultra Beasts, is outweighed by the sacrificing of consistency; it's very hard to get away with two Stage2s in the same deck. Shifty has powerful attacks, but I feel you'll be so focused on setting it up, that you'll struggle to chain your other combos (to...

    Don't worry about it, I can be rather blunt at times; which can easily be seen that way. Haha. Deciphering tone tends to be difficult over text. Feel free to send me a message, if you have a question!
