    Standard Raichu / Crobat / Ninetales

    If your taking out the ninetales line consider adding +1 skyfield +1 sacred ash +2 Super Scoop Up SSU allows you to reuse shaymins, and your crobat lines, yes it is a flip but if you manage to flip that heads early game and pick up a shaymin it can just give you so many more options.

    Discussion Judge Reprint

    @crystal_pidgeot, I completely agree with you, what i would absolutely love to see return is a card like power slray from DP series with GL pokemon, the ability to play acard on your opponents to to cancel a poke-power made players actually think as it could be played on opponents turns...

    Sableye / Garbodor

    I agree its not perfect, but being able to retrieve life Dew to your hand everyturn without having to junk hunt directly for is a very powerful (and annoying for your opponent)

    Discussion Minimum Number of Energies for Firey Torch?

    As the title asks, in a fire based deck that uses blacksmith what is the minimum number of basic fire energy you should have in a deck to be able to use Firy Torch consistently? And before ieveryone goes off on how there is better draw cards i know about trainer mail, acro bike ect. Im looking...

    Discussion Octillery BREAKthrough, Supporters, and Stage 1's

    I don't think this is a case of whether it's better or worse then shaymin EX, its a different type of draw engien. Shaymin is amazing, play it draw up to 6. Probably the best pokemon draw there is in expanded. But, it is a one shot draw. Amaxing during the first few turnd and late game. My point...

    Discussion Octillery BREAKthrough, Supporters, and Stage 1's

    As a player that runs a 1-1 line of electrode in expanded, this is a strict upgrade. It's still no claydol DP but draw up to 5 is far better then draw up to 4. Especially in accelgor/trevonant decks that deck themselves and then shuffle an attacker in. It could also be used well witb bunnelby...

    Sableye / Garbodor

    True, it's not "never" as they're are ways to get around it (lysandre, item removal, ect) but the idea is still strong; always being able to promote a pokemon with life dew will be a major headache for your opponent. Especially when you combine standard enerygy denial tactics.

    Sableye / Garbodor

    You could tech in an Eco Arm and a skyla/korina to guarantee a Life Dew every single turn. Here's how it works, life dew is in the discard, play Eco Arm, shuffle it back in, play skyla to pull it from library, then play it on active sableye and use junk hunt to return Eco arm and VS Seeker. Now...

    Discussion Judge Reprint

    With the "Judge" card originally being printed in HGSS being reprinted in breaktgrough, how do you feel this will impact the format? Being able to reduce your oppo ents hand to 4 T1 could be devastating to a lot a strategies. Especially since player 1 can empty they're hand, judge, then drop...

    Help The "Is There A Card That Does This?" Thread

    Is there a pokemon that lets you attach as many grass enerygy fron your hand to your pokemon but isn't an attack in Expanded? It has to be an ability even if its only a single extra energy per turn? I know there used to be a sceptile I believe in HGSS but i can't find anything that doesn't...

    Is Shaymin-EX Absolutely Required To Play Competitively?

    There is also a very high chance weer could see shaymin EX. In a holiday tim like they did with mewtwo EX when it was ridiculously high and like they did with darkrai EX. so there is always that to consider. But to stay on topic, like has been mentioned above, 90% of decks are going to run at...

    Sableye / Garbodor

    How well do you think this is positioned in the meta right now? All the top decks i look at seem to only have 7-10 energy and ah least half being special. Do you think the deck could support a ful 4-4 crushing/enhanced hammer? Also, is ability lock better then say a crobat line with SSU's to...

    Discussion Card Battle Ep.7: Parallel City VS Sky Field

    If shiftry was still legal i would say that parallel city would be the best card in a heartbeat. BUT without an effective strategy that relies on your opponent having few to no pokemon in play, i think skyfield is just more universally better as so many pokemon have effects when played or on...

    Discussion Best Way to Abuse Infinite Draw?

    Yes the original discussion is simply the best use way to abuse drawing your entire deck T1. In my original post i said im using accelgor/trevonant to utilise the draw engiene. One of the other posters suggested musharna that puts the 3 cards into your deck basically just using it to mill your...

    Discussion Best Way to Abuse Infinite Draw?

    Yeah, i understand that is not the best strategy, but it's fun. Im just trying to figure out if accelgor is the best endgame as it prevents decking. (From yourself at least) another option i thought was Sableye DEX with life dew (this was suggested earlier) another way to abuse Sableye would...

    Expanded Volt Bolt (Raikou EX / Zekrom / Eelektrik)

    What about 1 keldeo EX plus float stone so you can both get out of statusesand reliable get raikou onto the bench to refuel every turn.

    Standard Gyarados / Flareon / Jolteon

    I'm guessing that you evolve a gyrodose then put as many magikarp onto your bench with Team magas stadium in play so they come in with 2 damage counters each and the eeveelutions are so gyrodose hits almost all relevant weaknesses? My suggestion is to find a way to fit 2-3 Archie's ace in the...

    Discussion Best Way to Abuse Infinite Draw?

    The problem i have with life dew is it takes a full turn to recycle then anotherturn to attach. Not to mention the best abuser of life dew is sableye DEX. So i i go that route id have to prob go hammertime in order to stall long enough to deck them out plus then with drawing my whole deck its...

    Discussion Best Way to Abuse Infinite Draw?

    I like the musharna idea, however, how do you keep them from just 1 shoting you? I get you could cycle enerygy removal but tbe best form is supporter but thats 1 per turn so if they have a 2 energy attack (or even 1 energy attack) you would just prob lose before your able to shuffle and cycle...
