RE: Future Metagame Speculation Frozen city can be played around too easily. Energy switch, counter stadiums, plasma badge, plasma pokemon. It's a dead card against plasma decks and doesn't really carry it's weight.I would rather use the spots for max potion or support.

I've tested Cobalion against Kyurem and it is by no means a counter.

Very true, however Kyurem does not need a stage 2 pokemon to enable it to attack. Kyurem can easily start tearing apart Landorus EX turn 2.

So many packs where I pulled Shaymin as a rare.... T_T It wasn't even in Cold Flare or Freeze Bolt. All butt-hurt aside I would never play either at this point. If you're using it for eels I would just play 4 level ball instead. Any kind of fast start from a plasma deck is going to run over...

RE: Future Metagame Speculation By then we may have better cards, plus there's always that slim chance a Heatran EX deck may be good(most likely not) since it will hit Genesect for weakness, benefits against opponents with lasers, stacks damage with Deoxys, and running fire energy allows for...

If you start with that shaymin I'll probably give you the win and refuse to play you. Stupiiiddddd card.

What a useless product

RE: Future Metagame Speculation The reason Genesect/Virizion will be more expensive is because Lugia, Thundurus, and Deoxys will all be in a tin for probably $15-18 while Genesect and Virizion will only be obtainable from packs. That's also the reason that the meta will probably be infested...

-2 Darkrai EX -2 switch -1 Terrakion +4 float stone +1 Keldeo EX Darkrai is just a dead liability on the bench with float stone in the format. It can give all of your pokemon free retreat without prism energy and you can get it back with dowsing machine!

RE: Future Metagame Speculation I predict that September on 70% of people will be play Plasmadeck or at least some version of it. People who feel like paying will probably play Virizion/Genesect, and then you'll have your standard Darkrai and big basics. [hr] Shadow Triad puts G-booster...

RE: Future Metagame Speculation I think quad Magikarp still has a good chance at being the BDIF.

RE: Future Metagame Speculation On another note, Virizion EX/Genesect EX/Genesect seems like it could possibly take over the start of next season.

RE: Future Metagame Speculation Yeah every time they get a pre-constructed deck it has at least 1 catcher and candy.... Not to mention they released 2 decks just recently that each came with 2 ex's a candy, catcher and other good stuff for the equivalent of like $15. About 1/3-2/3 of the...

RE: Future Metagame Speculation I think this will be huge with Bouffalant. That being said I'll also say that any pokemon with lightning weakness is almost completely unplayable against Thundurus EX. A full bench of Deoxys EX means Thundurus for 140 for 1 basic energy. Not to mention lasers...

I completely disagree that Plasma-deck is going to be BDIF. All the hype around this deck is just begging Hammertime to swarm tournaments. Also float stone fixes aloooooot of clunky things in a few decks. Not to mention every deck already played could tech in DRX Drifblim and cause Deoxys EX to...

RE: Future Metagame Speculation I just don't support big basic "toolbox" decks. It reminds me of Tsubasa Nakamura's Crowned Tiger world championship deck from 2009. I would really hate to see the format move in the direction of SP-like play. All basic decks are boring and are especially lazy...

RE: Future Metagame Speculation I get what he means, it just feels weird to call slapping down basics setting up :P

RE: Future Metagame Speculation People keep saying something about a "Set-up" in a Thundurus/Deoxys. There is no set up in a deck with all basics.....

RE: (Garchomp, Haxorus, Altaria) Dragon Deck Garchomp Altaria is a great deck. that being said one of the most important things this deck needs is consistency. I would suggest running all of your pokemon with the same name as the same card. For example, instead of 2 mach cut Garchomp and one...

I like your list, seems really solid!
