    Best Expansion to Buy

    I would choose one with a good selection of playable trainer cards tbh. They are the most useful things to have when deckbuilding. It sounds like you guys aren't too competetive. So just choose ones with good trainers available and pokemon you like in it.

    Expanded Easy & Powerful deck to make/win tournaments

    Ugggh, hex maniac, GG? Just saying. This deck cannot work against serious competition, most online tournies are not a good basis for finding good real life decks. A lot of the time they are just kids and casuals filling them up, especially seeing as how easy it is to get tourny tickets now. I...

    Discussion The Garbodor Effect - Is He Worth It?

    I am playing the control Garbo/Tina/Darkrai deck at the moment, I did have some success with garb and some success when I replaced the 2-2 line with a 3 count of Wobbofett. But in the end I went back to garb because the matchups that wob was better were matchups that were still good for me no...

    P!P/Rules Should Garbodor be Banned?

    I think one thing to consider, is that there are certain deck archetypes that exist in almost all tcgs, speed rush/weenies (NM/vespi), big beatdown (Megas), mill (wailord), combo/resource acceleration (metal, fire and electric) & control (quaking punch, trev, garbo, vileplume). (not an...

    Blog A Formidable Friendship — A Look at How Giratina-EX and Garbodor May Seize the Format

    I guess it all comes down to what techs and particular lists you play, I see a lot of metal ray with Mageana and coballian. I am having a lot of fun in my area when I see a mega ray opposite me, only time I lost was due to a misplay on my part because I was too tired to see the correct play. But...

    Discussion How can Metal decks deal with Volcanion? (PRC-on)

    Tech in two regice and two water energy, probably more consistent than a weavile line and can be used against other ex decks. Means they have to dig very hard to find their ranger. You can lysandre and one shot their baby volcs (assuming they don't ffb them), then they have to find an answer...

    Blog A Formidable Friendship — A Look at How Giratina-EX and Garbodor May Seize the Format

    No it's an extremely favourable matchup. What you do is you make sure you parallel city them to three bench spaces the turn you chaos wheel, now they can either hex maniac you and attack for 90, or they can pokemon ranger and play a skyfield to set up next turn. They can't do both on the same...

    Blog No More Night March! Celebrating the New Standard Format and Some Theorymon

    Tbh I wasn't considering infernape, purely the Voctocanion? Octcano? Volcanion squared? (an eight volcanion deck, 4 baby, 4 EX). I'm sure there is a terrible pun in this decks name somewhere... I feel your pain about infernape, but who knows what the future holds, and it could work wonders in...

    Discussion Decks with Potential for After Upcoming Rotation

    Speed dark/tina/garbo. Darkrai EX, Giritina EX, garbodor. DDE counts as two dark while on Giritina, so coupled with a healthy supply of dark energy and max elixirs you can power up big attackers fast. Garbodor shuts down a lot of nasty stuff in new format. Hydriegon can attack through jolteon...

    Discussion Will people really play Pokemon Ranger?

    That's why I run Garbodor.

    Volacnion/Volcanion EX/Scorched earth/acrobike is a very legit engine from the testing I've done. But Acrobike is a key player, 3 or 4 of guaranteed.

    Discussion "Hail King Garb": What Garbodor Means Next Season

    The new Hawlucha as well. Make it a round 50. That Lysandre effect can be very good if you can bounce it (which is admittedly much harder now SSU and AZ are out).

    Discussion Will people really play Pokemon Ranger?

    I will likely play one, maybe two even. It depends on the deck, my Darkrai/Garb/Tina deck is all basic EX attackers, Garb gets around carbink, but that space that I would normally use for Hex maniac in my other decks will be a pokemon ranger. I also am considering running a Hydreigon or...

    Discussion Lightning in the New Format

    As a tech Zebstriker, as a main deck Raichu might be a thing again, Raichu/Garb could be good perhaps.
