    'Blue Impact' / 'Red Flash' Japan's XY8 Sets, Next Set Block Titled 'XY: BREAK!'

    I wonder if Magnezone and Zapdos will see any play in the future? Zapdos does 120 off LLC (140 with muscle band), and Magnezone's ability means that charging up that bad boy doesn't take as much time as it once did. That's pretty decent damage from a Pokemon that only awards one prize...

    'Blue Impact' / 'Red Flash' Japan's XY8 Sets, Next Set Block Titled 'XY: BREAK!'

    It's the only one we don't have yet, and the next set looks to be featuring Mega Gyarados. Almost certainly.

    Article Let's Talk (Prehistoric) Turkey: Dealing With Archeops in Expanded!

    I got really excited about Fossil Researcher when it first came out, but sadly it can only get Amaura and/or Tyrunt.

    'Blue Impact' / 'Red Flash' Japan's XY8 Sets, Next Set Block Titled 'XY: BREAK!'

    There is absolutely no way you will be able to Archie or Maxie up a BREAK pokemon directly.

    'Blue Impact' / 'Red Flash' Japan's XY8 Sets, Next Set Block Titled 'XY: BREAK!'

    No, I meant something that protects a benched pokemon from all attacks from both sides, versus something that only protects from your opponent's attacks (and not from your own). I can't recall which card(s) had the latter, I may be misremembering altogether. Anyway, yeah I'm aware that Mr. Mime...

    'Blue Impact' / 'Red Flash' Japan's XY8 Sets, Next Set Block Titled 'XY: BREAK!'

    Good mime, a Common too. Does the ability specify both your and your opponents attacks? The english card probably will, just wondering if the japanese card does. In other words, does this bad boy obsolete Mountain Ring? I like to play casually and he seems like he'd be fun to throw into my deck...

    'Blue Impact' / 'Red Flash' Japan's XY8 Sets, Next Set Block Titled 'XY: BREAK!'

    They'll almost certainly clarify that you can't Maxie or Archie up a BREAK pokemon, and that there needs to be a card under it.

    'Blue Impact' / 'Red Flash' Japan's XY8 Sets, Next Set Block Titled 'XY: BREAK!'

    I only see two from his ability. There isn't one printed at the bottom of the card, just weakness.

    'Blue Impact' / 'Red Flash' Japan's XY8 Sets, Next Set Block Titled 'XY: BREAK!'

    'fraid not. Burning energy only provides fire energy when attached to a pokemon, and doesn't provide any when in your hand, deck, or discard Edit: something that targets "Energy Cards" would work, such as Heliolisk's Parabolic Charge, or Thundurus EX's Raiden Knuckle should work, because...

    'Blue Impact' / 'Red Flash' Japan's XY8 Sets, Next Set Block Titled 'XY: BREAK!'

    I thought those monkey cards were typos but NOPE they get a completely different type of energy than their own. They attack with colorless too, so that's neat.

    Pokemon Competitors Arrested for Threatening Gun Violence at Worlds

    You've been a very reasonable person in this thread so this isn't addressed to you specifically, but: I'm suggesting that the police did everything right, and I don't believe anyone is overreacting. Taking a picture of your weapons to bring to the convention, and saying things like "My AR-15...

    Pokemon Competitors Arrested for Threatening Gun Violence at Worlds

    You guys think you can read his mind based on silly things like "what he said" and "what he did"? Well you can't, but I can, and guess what, the opposite is true.

    Pokemon Competitors Arrested for Threatening Gun Violence at Worlds

    Gunmen frequently do, before returning to grab their guns. I guess instead of arresting them the police could have asked nicely to pretty please not make good on their threats though.

    Pokemon Competitors Arrested for Threatening Gun Violence at Worlds

    I'd argue that the people who are threats include the people who make threats. But hey, Despite saying (joking) they want to kill the competition with guns and then bringing guns to the competition, we'll never know what really went on in their heads. Maybe they were casing the joint first, or...

    Standard Dugtrio / Eeveelutions

    If one played Mountain Ring instead of Fighting Stadium (or went 50/50 on both?), you could avoid the bench damage. Sounds a little clunky though, probably better to pick one or the other.

    Pokemon Competitors Arrested for Threatening Gun Violence at Worlds

    Ah, the time-tested "I am going to kill people at this event" joke, followed by bringing guns and ammo to the event. I hear that joke is a hit at parties.

    Alt. Format Fire Deck (M Charizard EX / Camerupt EX / Victini EX)

    Fun fact, you can continue to use the HGSS fisherman card, no need for a new copy. That is, once it's rotated back in. At long as it's legal, you don't have to worry about which "version" of the card you're running unless the text is significantly different, or a couple notable exceptions...

    Discussion Help me do some crazy Card Math of PAIN

    It would definitely be easier to follow if you just posted the list of cards and counts, and what you're trying to do, instead of trying to get people to parse it. We know what Trainer's Mail is, Professor's Letter, Shaymin, etc.
