Going to be real interesting to see which build comes out better because I just don't see Jumpluff and Lost Mixer working well together for some reason.

Also... The Miltank is pretty dangerous, too. With Order Pad and Alolan Ninetales-GX, Getting the item cards to do 240 is a cinch, and 130 HP is quite tanky!

Oh dear Lost March. Also, Missing Unown could work, with a little bit of luck and little bit of Lysandre Prism....

EDIT: Shining Celebi is never going to see play ever again. Memory Energy is awesome.

Lets recap, natu+marshadow gx+lost mixer+trumbeak=12 pokemon in the lost zone=240 damage w/o CB. For a DCE. Here you have your future meta deck sirs

If we have an SM-on Poke that can attach itself as a tool (don't remember if we do), Lost March would be decently viable since you get 3 Pokes into lost zone per Flower Bridge - 3 Flower Bridges = 9 pokes in LZ = 180 damage and if you have Choice Band that's 210, which is decent

Portrait Smeargle returns, but in a toned down version, since having the effect on an attack makes it way less busted.

Still very splashable a fun card to consider.

I'm just imagining Whitney in expanded... Using Battle Compressor to discard all of them, and VS seeker will make the supporter draw 7 cards each time! o_O

Everyone out here talking about what cards have potential and what don't haha, and here I am just happy that we finally got another Alolan Persian and Toucannon :D

Well, this set has a lot to offer. We have that Lusamine Prism Star which could go great with Stinger GX, we have reprints of DCE and Ultra Ball which is always welcome, I really like Tyranitar GX, those Unown are bizzare but someone out there's will probally build a deck around the HAND one. Faba is interesting, and it's good to see the Lost Zone being used beyond the effects of Prism Stars. We finally have Suicune GX, I like the holo Naganadel, and I am happy we are getting a Blacephelon in this set. There are some cars that are pointless, and that can be an issue for us as we are getting this in such a big set with so many other good cards. I hope the pull rates for Lost Thunder will be high because we have a ton of GX, Prism Star, Full Art and Holo cards in this set. But cards like Whitney I don't like, as you don't need it. Just use a Hau, who is in the set anyway. Lost Thunder will certainly be insane. Wonder if they will chuck in that Alolan Marowak GX.

Yeah, Whitney may very well become a staple in Expanded.

It may also become a staple in Standard, especially in Zoroark-GX, using order pad instead to cycle back Whitney when all are in the discard. Also drawing five is also good when there only two in the discard.
