    Alt. Format Roaring Thunder (Raichu GX / Tapu Lele GX / Raikou)

    Personally I don't like choice Band at all in this deck. From my experience running Turbo Darkrai, EXP Share ends up contributing far more damage long term while extra energy increases your max elixir chances and can't be Field Blowered. Thus I'd cut all three for an extra energy and an extra...

    Standard Golisopod GX/Lurantis (Deck for Worlds)

    SM3 will become legal the first day of worlds, so there will be a lot of cards to prepare for with almost 0 practice. Seems interesting though.

    Standard Help needed with Sceptile EX/Ariados Deck

    As was mentioned above, you have way too many 1 ofs of trainers. This will hurt your consistency a ton. Here is how I would change up the deck: Add a volcarona or cut a larvesta. Having an uneven line is almost always bad because if you play the first volcarona then the 2nd Larvesta is basically...

    Standard I really need help with this Darkrai deck. It almost always draws so awful.

    4 Choice Band and 4 EXP Share is way too much. I'd swap the Bands for FFBs because of the HP buffs and run a 2-2 split or only run EXP Share. I'd then use the extra cards for 4 Trainers Mail. I'd also cut a Lysandre and N for a Lele or Shaymin and a Hex Maniac or Pokémon Ranger. Other than that...

    Standard Toxicroak / Ariados (Burning Shadows)

    Yeah I realize that, Ariados poisons both actives.

    Standard Toxicroak / Ariados (Burning Shadows)

    Fairly simple deck, use Ariados to poison opponent and Toxicroak, then use Toxicroak's attack to deal 160 damage. Cards like Choice Band, Kukui, and Seviper are in there to OHKO bulkier EXs and GXs. Flaws with the deck is that Toxicroak's attack takes a while to power up. And there isn't much...

    Standard Black Ice - New deck idea looking for constructive opinions!

    Pokémon Fan Club is better than Brigette because Lele and Shaymin need to be played from hand. Since Brigette plays directly to bench you Shaymin and Lele's abilities will not activate. Other than that the deck looks solid. IDK what the strategy of the deck is so it's hard to say if certain...

    Standard Budget Raticate BREAK - Poison Barb (Grass-Type Killer)

    I believe the answer is no. They have different names so they should count as different Pokémon. You could use the Breakpoint or Evolutions Ratticate instead. As for the deck, I don't really see the point of poison barb. Ariados does the work better and you don't have to take damage like with...

    Expanded Lapras/Keldeo

    Personally I don't like Manaphy because it doesn't have a strong attack and it can't deal with special conditions, so I'd have to run escape ropes as well. As for Huntail I can see that. I mainly wanted it to deal with Jolteon and act as an alternative attacker that doesn't require much energy...

    Expanded Lapras/Keldeo

    Pretty simple, Expanded version of water box. Idea is to use Max Elixir and Aqua Patch to power up Lapras T1, then use Float Stone Keldeo to reuse Lapras' attack. Shaymin obviously is for draw support. Suicune / Glaceon are for free wins. Huntail is to get around Jolteon and deal decent amounts...

    Expanded Lapras

    Personally I feel like running max Elixir and Aqua Patch are far more consistent than Archie's Blastoise, although if you are having success with it then it's probably fine. Personally I would run FFB or Choice Band instead of Muscle Band. At 160 Damage Lapras is going to be 1HKOing almost any...

    Expanded Turbo Dark

    I agree in cutting the Energy Switch, it isn't a very helpful card, I would much rather remove those for either stadiums or a 4th VS Seeker and Trainer's Mail. EXP Share is a bit more debatable. I could see keeping it but I think there are other cards that would help more. This is especially...

    Expanded Turbo Dark

    First you can't run 5 Darkrai EX, so you'd have to cut 1 of them. Also I would run at least 2 of a stadium or stadium removal.

    Standard Teaching Beginners

    Personally I don't like the idea of teaching bad deck building (no stadiums, low/weak trainers, bottom heavy lines of Pokémon), however I do understand that these are 30 card decks, so they are designed for very basic play. As long as you have cards like Sycamore, Trainer's Mail, Rough Seas...

    Standard Lurantis GX/Giratina EX Deck

    I assume by poison energy you mean psychic? Why the hell do you have a 1 of butterfree? It's going to be incredibly inconsistent since the line is ruined if any of them are prized and it will be slow since you are running no FOGP. I would cut all the Pokémon except for Lurantis and Giratina...

    Alt. Format Octo Koko (The Ultimate Prize Denial?)

    Why PFC? Since you are running 0 EXs Brigette is a strictly superior card. No VS Seekers? Those are very important especially since your deck is super lacking in Draw. I'd cut 1 Field Blower, 2 Kukui, 1 PFC / Brigette, and 2 PCL for 4 VS Seekers and 2 N. 12 healing cards seems like complete...

    Standard Aerodactyl/Talonflame

    Kukui is a better card than Giovani's Scheme IMO, I would also cut a card for a 4th VS Seeker. Probably a Bursting Balloon or Eco Arm.

    Standard Dark/Fighting deck

    Energy Retrieval is very helpful if you dont have any Yveltal XY. The fact that Yveltal gets energy from the discard was the main reason I didn't suggest it and though Letter was better. You also have Super Rod to get energy back into the deck. Adding 2 might be beneficial. As for what to cut...

    Standard Dark/Fighting deck

    Turbo Darkrai and Darkrai / Giratina are 2 really powerful Dark decks in the meta right now. In the most recent regionals they made up 4 of the decks in the top 8. Considering you have 1 Darkrai in your deck already you may want to look at a deck like that. Turbo Darkrai especially requires very...

    Standard Banette/Alakazam Stun

    Either as a high damage finisher or as an alternate wincon vs any deck that runs Basic EXs/GXs. Banette is doing jack if you are facing a deck like Volcanion, so you need something else to deal with it (hense why I suggested Jolteon EX).
