    News Lysandre's Trump Card Has Been Banned

    Espeon EX is very much a thing right now.... I can't contest the second part of your comment though.

    Discussion Viability of Herdier

    I might have mistakenly thought Dylan Bryan ran it in Bees, but that was before S/M released and he played Vespiquen/Zebstrika/Octillery. However, Daniel Lynch cut Day 2 in Anaheim playing Vespiquen/Zoroark/Herdier. Consequently, going back and looking for this also made me realize that...

    Discussion Viability of Herdier

    I'm one of those people and it's also achieved top cuts at regional events since it's release. First off, when Milotic saw play in Raichu lists around a year/year and a half ago, it was to recover things like VS Seeker and DCEs. Now, we have Special Charge to get those DCEs back in the deck...

    News Shaymin EX not rotating out?

    As is precedence from years prior, we will likely not be getting these cards reprinted in the West, that's just how it works year in and year out. Why so many people forget this blows my mind. Anything is certainly possible, but the contents of "Best of XY" aren't even really a talking point...

    Discussion Viability of Herdier

    Every comment in here is missing the fact that Herdier is run in just about every type of Bee list being played in Standard at the moment. It's 100x better for Bees than PoT, especially considering how prolific Vileplume is in Standard. So, very viable, but only in certain archetypes. Also...

    News 'Islands Waiting for You' and 'Moonlight of Alola': Japan's Next Sun and Moon TCG Set!

    N wasn't in Standard for the majority of the 2015-16 season actually. Until Fates Collide released in May 2016.

    That is an insane amount of Decidueye/Plume....

    News New 'Battle Arena Deck: Black Kyurem vs. White Kyurem' in June!

    Neither of those confirm what you're saying. In fact, they both hint that entire sets can indeed be removed. "In 2017 we will not be removing older expansions from the Expanded format. Players should double-check what format is being used before deciding which deck to bring to their local...

    News New 'Battle Arena Deck: Black Kyurem vs. White Kyurem' in June!

    Do you have a source on that? Because I don't think that's true. More like too many people expected it to rotate for this season but it didn't.

    News Strengthening Expansion Pack, Best of XY Pack, and Ash VS Team Rocket Deck!

    Well it would be completely unprecedented, for one. Second, there's no way they want a format that only has 3 sets to work from. It would just be incredibly unhealthy for the game. Set size has nothing to do with it, as sets are 75% filler for the most part.

    News Strengthening Expansion Pack, Best of XY Pack, and Ash VS Team Rocket Deck!

    There is zero chance that we start the 2017-18 season with 3 sets in standard. It's not going to happen, so don't get your hopes up.

    Discussion Cards Rotating Out

    Has it been confirmed that they're new art? The only thing I've read mentions that (I believe) Professor Sycamore and Trainers' Mail will have new art. Which could be a significant designation if VS Seeker doesn't. FWIW crystal_pidgeot, Greninja is basically toast if the rotation is anything...

    Discussion Cards Rotating Out

    I was originally going to make my own post about this very same topic until I searched and found this recent thread. My 2 cents boils down to this: Everybody and their uncle knows that Shaymin EX is probably gone from Standard come September. But my opinion on the matter comes down to...
