    SM5+ 'Ultra Force' Releasing in January!

    Not too excited over this one, but this means we're probably getting an Azelf, which makes me so happy!!!

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

    These early prices on the supporters hurt. I doubt many (especially N) will get an English release, and I definitely want these for my FA Trainer complete set (well, complete minus the two Rocket breifcase ones), so this would hurt. Also, N is my favorite character in Pokémon, and while I was...

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

    I don't think many of you are understanding the point of this: Best of XY will likely not ever come out in the states, so don't get too excited over Shaymin, VS, and Double Dragon coming back. As for my thoughts on the new reveal, Lele seems good. Espeon GX seems like a good helper for it (or...

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

    We're not getting Guardians Rising in the boxes. From the promotional images, its 2 SUM, 2 BKP, and 2 FCO.

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

    "Clefairy – Fairy – HP60 Basic Pokemon [Y] Bitch Slap: 10 damage." ...I'm going to assume this is just the translator messing with us. If not, we've got a competitor for funniest attack, up there with Hocus Pinkus and Everyone Explode Now.

    Standard Weakness Toolbox

    I don't really understand the purpose of Mantine. If you are trying to hit many things for weakness, you might as well play Vespiquen/Zoroark/Eevees. As mentioned above, the Ancient Origins Eeveelutions are capable of making Vespiquen, Zoroark, Zebstrika, etc. your Water attacker without forcing...

    News 'Sun and Moon Strengthening Expansion Pack'

    Those Primarinas... are the best full arts to date. Thankfully, they aren't playable, so I can probably get them (English or Japanese) for fairly cheap.

    News First 'Sun & Moon' English Set News!

    I'm sorry for everyone who ends up with the Bruxish promo. The other three promos are at least somewhat playable, although the Bruxish pack may have some of the Golduck line in it.

    News 'Sun and Moon Strengthening Expansion Pack'

    I'll likely throw this in Volcanion as a one-of. Oriocrio is one of my favorite Pokemon, so seeing as a somewhat viable card makes me happy.

    Fun What is your favorite deck?

    This is really difficult for me. I'll usually take apart a deck I don't like within a month if I don't enjoy playing it (notable examples include Keldeo/Blastoise and Landorus EX/Hawlucha FFI/Lucario EX), but I have these favorites that will stay with me for a while. Flareon PLF Vespiquen...

    Prepare for Trouble: 'Team Rocket Special Case' Releasing in February!

    That briefcase better be nuclear bomb-proof at this price. Other than the case being really fancy, I don't see why this is so damn expensive. If the full arts come out stateside, I hope the collection doesn't cost more than $30, even with a junk box.

    'Pikachu & New Friends' Blister in November

    I love the card layout! It looks like a cross between the HGSS layout and the XY layout. And that Rowlet card looks great!

    Standard "Steeling the Show" - M Scizor-EX

    My friend and I have been working on Scizor variants for a while now, and I feel like I could help with the deck list. First, I would cut out 1 M Scizor. It's very unlikely you'll ever have all four out at once, or even have the need to. Cobalion is a nice addition. I'm not sure if 1 or 2 is...

    Discussion Raikou in Standard

    I use it in both my standard and expanded M Manectric decks. I only play one copy of each, but with anti-EX decks such as Wailord mills and Garchomp floating around my league, it's always a welcome tech. It deals with Wailord stall in Standard and Wailord/Suicune in Expanded well, and Raikou...
