That's easily fixed with Relicanth. It's not a bad idea to shore up the bulk of the usually frail discard snowball decks, but nowadays maybe just play Ancient Box for that archetype.

Froslass appears to stack, meaning with 4 you're doing hefty chip damage to all of your opponent's abilitied pokemon every turn. In one turn, Manaphy and Jirachi are guaranteed KO'd with the damage from both you and your opponent's turns ending. These have some kinda potential, especially with...

Less filler clogging up main sets is always a good thing, but the fact there's no distribution method to tie them to is intriguing.

I feel like a Pokémon with a grass energy transfer ability would be all it takes to give Ogerpon some potential. 4 Teal Ogerpon charging an energy a turn plus a manual attachment gives a respectable 210 damage, not counting extra turns, Gardenia or your opponent's energy. It has free draw on...

Specifically ex's will be in Night Wanderer, Mask of Change will likely have them as single prizers.

Though unlike Klara or Super Rod, Lana can't retrieve rule box Pokemon, a legitimately huge downside.

Iron Leaves is a handy 1-of in Arc/Gira decks, so it's a solid promo.

Well it's definitely mid, that's fot sure. Outside of expanded sky field shenanigans it has a difficult to reach and maintain cap of 240, but unless you're spamming salvatore any knockout will set you back to 200, 180 with double turbo. There's better options for what this is trying to do, like...

Not an awful card, 120 is a solid snipe for Bax decks knocking out Bibarel which Greninja can't one shot. The problem is that CRZ Kyogre exists and is better

I hope Sinistcha is really good grass support, or at least gets a cool IR. I have a soft spot for it because it was a lot of fun in E reg VGC.

the cards haven't even been shown yet buddy

Koraidon and Miraidon are pretty great, seen in plenty of Ancient/Future box decks in Japan. They're definitely the ones to hope for, especially in prerelease tournaments where they can easily strike hard and fast depending on the other cards in their block.

I am going to mispell Masquerade so many times

This kinda shows how early they make these arrangements. Probably smart to lock in the venue a couple years in advance

Having the right Kirlia helps, this is a perfectly servicable post-rotation Gardevoir set. Agree with above though, Scream Tail and Moonlit Hill are important.
