Single Strike hate confirmed, you heard it here first. Poor Single Strikes =(
But hot damn that Noivern art is amazing.

"I AM BAT(Noivern)MAN!"
Volcarona squad reporting in!
Happy to see Jumpluff and Cloyster here too, and they gave them an interesting concept to work with. My Single Strikes got the short end of the stick again, really hoping to see them get just one solid all-rounder so they can finally knock the competition out of...
Suicune makes for a strong one-two punch combo with Ice Rider. You smack them for 260 then switch into this, get your draw and take the three prize knockout. If the opponent benches carelessly (or if you use Echoing Horn) you can repeatedly knock out Crobats with Suicune and not even need...
Wonder how the Fusion style will pan out. Kinda sad that thus far Rapid Strike has gotten all the attention but Single Strike really only has Houndoom as a good card. I'm glad they aren't ditching the mechanic yet when there's still so much they can expand on.
Things only really have value if someone wants to buy them. The last thing someone would want is to have paid big money for one of these then TPCi starts printing these exact promos again and suddenly your purchase is next to worthless.
What exactly is with the aggressiveness? Why do you need to "flip the bird" to players just over what decks they use? It isn't like they are the ones who made Tag Teams the way they are, TPC did and they fully intended them to be used the way they are and the power creep they created. Some...
It's just that the thing is, will even future V-Unions (even if they're better than this) see any play? It's already too easy with our present card pool to search your deck and then realise "Wow! I've already lost the game because important cards #1, #2 and #3 are all prized!" As you and others...
DDE would honestly be disgusting in Standard if it got the reprint. While Ray doesn't have a use for it Noivern V gets to use it to hit 180 for 1 and the requirement to match hand sizes is easily attained. Dragonite V does 250 for 2 attachments (including DDE), which is the same amount as Ice...
Well it does say "new" Special Energy rather than one. It could be that TPC plans to simply reprint DDE rather than give Dragon a whole new Energy card, we will see soon enough.
TPC: "But..... But.... VMAX's are evolved Pokemon, we definitely support them! Oh wait, you mean the non-rule box ones? Yeah, they aren't flashy and in your face enough and don't have BIG #'s, so we pretend they don't exist."
So the real question is, which Rayquaza will it be? We've only really seen 2 Big Basic Ray concepts used since BW, so will it be....
(insert drum roll here)
#1: Stack 2 different types of Energy (and maybe discard them) to do big damage Rayquaza
ooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
#2: Make...
It kind of pains me to see that Single Strike ultimately goes down the route of 'Many energy big hit' but of course not big enough to matter in a meta with massive HP numbers, which is made worse when SS mons seem to rely way too hard on support. Then you have Rapid Strike which tries to be the...
Well it seems none of my predictions stuck. Ah well.
D/P remakes.... So it is likely the reason S/S ended up going in the direction it did was because they were working on these at the same time. If they do that and it turns out that these go the same way then they'll have divided their...
