    Darkness Approaches — Banette ex Emerges from the Shadows

    I honestly do not know if a corner-style effect is even necessary, but I think I would just play Mawile instead. Being a Psychic type is valuable because of Gardevoir ex and infinitely trapping something is more important than the damage. You could play a Pidgeot V to have an infinite deck...

    Darkness Approaches — Banette ex Emerges from the Shadows

    It could be! You'd have to restructure the deck a bit, including the addition of a Lumineon V probably. I definitely plan on trying it out, but my first impression is that it also may just be unnecessary, as it only matters when you go second.

    Amped Up — What Happened to Iron Hands?

    I missed replying to this comment sooner, but I actually think this deck will probably be really good. I have done very little post rotation testing myself, but from watching some friends play some games and just looking at the matchups that appear to be popular, I expect the deck to put up...

    Through the Fire and Flames — Charizard ex in the Paradox Rift Format

    I sort of agree, but not entirely. Both gameplans are reliant on Judge Path to have a shot. DTE Mew is better at making this happen consistently, but Fusion can be a bit more resilient if the opponent gets lucky. It ultimately is just which of these options you prefer.

    Good as (Fool’s) Gold — The Good and Bad of Gholdengo ex

    I think that Scizor is alright, and I considered it as an option, but a lot of the time it just doesn't feel good enough. More often than not, your opponent will just take a Knock Out on one of your Gimmighoul or Bidoof and giving the opponent another single prizer without forcing a Boss is not...

    She’s Back — Yet Another Gardevoir in Standard

    Yeah, I agree that it is super unfortunate that Festival isn't more accessible on Live. If you are looking for an alternative, playing Temple of Sinnoh is your best bet. The card is by no means "bad," it's just a little bit worse than Festival in my opinion.

    Rule the Format – The Dawn of Palkia in the Standard Format

    Hey there! It's a written article, but there was a slight shift in the order they released and the line about that wasn't changed. It should be around soon!

    Draining the Swamp – Countering Mew with Galarian Moltres / Leafeon

    Yeah, the matchup generally should be in Single Strike's favor based on just how the decks work, but Single Strike's inherent inconsistencies and the recent emergence of Meloetta as a tech really hurts the matchup for Single Strike, making a lot of your attack maps much harder to pull off...

    Why Knot? — Going Green with Leafeon VMAX

    That's a reasonable sentiment to have, as the deck can sometimes feel awkward to play, but I disagree with Grass Knot being high maintenance. It just takes two attachments and a Galar Mine to hit 180 or 240 on most things, and sometimes you may even do more. Additionally, Galar Mine and Tool...
