The mental image of a Sunflora just absolutely *screaming* a string of unending obscenities at a Charizard from some rooftop in Artazon is all I can picture. I'm losing it

Oh no no no no. Ohhhhh no. Card Labs, what have you done? I don't care that it's an Ace Spec, the fact that you have Guzma on an item is ABSURD. That's the biggest mistake they've made in a very long time and the game's going to be worse off for it.

So, the new Mew builds from Clay Burst/Snow Hazard in Japan are almost exclusively Fusion Strike Energy-based because it protects Genesect from the effect of an opponent's Spiritomb, allowing you to continue to draw cards. Similarly, Fusion Strike Energy itself would protect a Mew from the...

"Selected individuals will be e-mailed and have 72 hours to purchase up to two badges. They will cost 2,000 yen each (about $15). When you pick up your badge at Worlds, you’ll receive two booster packs." You have to buy the badges within 72 hours of being contacted for winning the drawing, but...

Gardevoir gets there because you have Kirlia AND Shadow Rider draw to help out. Plus, not every Gardevoir build is going to have a full suite of 4-4-4+ Gardevoir line pieces. And in any case, by no means is this going to be the only way to play Gardevoir, or the best.

Yep, that works like you think it does. Gardevoir's probably about to play 15 Energy! It actually goes pretty nicely with Shadow Rider because you've now set up for a Max Geist follow-up as well. I like it.

Yes, it does. It's the same interaction that prevents you from selecting a Rapid/Single Strike Scroll attack off a Scroll attached to an opponent's Pokemon with something that's copying their attacks like Ninetales V or Ditto VMAX. Specifically, the wording of Path to the Peak says "Pokemon...

we've been energy loto'd yet again

I doubt the deck gets to do anything in the West without Net, which will rotate before we get these, but keep an eye on Japanese tournaments for this since they have the Curry card to get the burn as well and suddenly they OHKO the format for free (330 with Sneasler, 340 with Hawlucha into...

[/SPOILER]

You do realize Regirock OHKO's Arceus VSTAR with zero assistance, yes? Turns out being a Fighting-type 1-prizer right now has intrinsic value. The deck 100% demolishes anything Arceus-focused, and I still expect Arceus to see the most play out of any VSTAR because of the flexibility. Something...

Someone is going to have to explain to me why Regieleki has 3 retreat. They managed to go the wrong direction from the last one. Anyway, cool stuff, neat gimmick, looking forward to making people laugh at locals with these. Using Net to set up multiple Regis in one turn might be a thing...

Theoretically it's a quarter of 320 HP so each of the pieces have 80 each :cool:

Time for this to make up a good chunk of our February set, surely. You guys ready for six months of Quick Ball and Ultra Ball together in Standard? I'm not, I need an adult.

Oh no, it loses to a fringe deck, what a nightmare :p

A 4-4 Salazzle and a 2-2-2 Butterfree is 14 cards (yes you're only going need a 2-2-2 Butterfree, Turffield and Level Ball getting your entire deck is quite a concept, as is Net protecting them). Even if you miss an attack here and there (which no one is saying you won't, because you definitely...

If it's just Inteleon, you could still time a Mew benching well enough to buy a turn when you needed it, assuming they didn't have 3 shooters out. With Medicham and 2 shooters, it gets instantly punished. And yeah, I'm looking forward towards what would be SSH-FST (FUS?) format with the idea on...
