I beg to differ on the penultimate statement "never take a prize off your pokemon (sic)". They can just Lysandre around you for a while until they draw into their Scrappers/Megaphones.

I don't want to be seen as piling on, but I just want to inject some math here. According to Pojo's X-Act (a Maltese mathematician who loves Pokemon, he has some good articles on Smogon as well), a singleton copy (1 card) will be prized 10% of the time, while if you play 2 copies, the chance of...

You can get away w/ 2 Juniper if you run a crazy Battle Compressor engine, but other than that, right on the money from my view.

Legitimately, I lost against this deck w/ Blastoise, as its easy to get lazy with your attachments, and then if they take out all of your SER's...almost GG.

These cards are completely different in application, and thus cannot truly be compared. It is like asking "What's the better card, Vileplume UD or Eelektrik NVI?" Both exerted similar amounts of format influence, but are just way too different. Milotic FLF is best used in non-EX decks that can...

Well, it WOULD help with making Truth like decks, being able to get something like a Oddish/Oddish/Duskull

It does make sense for getting the Archie's, but it's a lot worse when it comes to digging for SER's.

Yes, let's certainly reprint a card that allows us to cycle our decks infinitely and abuse powerful, flippy cards. It's not like something incredibly similar was banned just this year. That being said, it would be unlikely for that to happen, but you never really know... Besides, you don't...

Pokemon has always had large amounts of non-viable cards, that isn't just because of EXs, it's how PCL works. There have been several VERY interesting Stage 2s...Delphox XY, Greninja XY, Aegislash XY, Dusknoir FLF, Shiftry FLF, Poliwrath/Politoed FUF, Victreebel FUF, Blaziken FUF, Chandelure...

Some interesting techs include Revive, Mewtwo-EX, Lugia-EX, Articuno AT, and Colress.

I remember something along the lines of MManectric-EX/Virizion-EX/Dragonite-EX doing well at some UK tournament around the time of Phantom Force's US release.

Victory Medal is basically a slightly worse version of Reserve Ticket...50% Draw a card, 25% Computer Search vs. 50% Computer Search. I guess it replaces itself, but cantrips aren't that great in Pokemon, I mean, heck, Roller Skates is a better version of a cantrip, but it isn't used in anything...

Hard Charm didn't work out, because even if it meant that they 2hko'd you instead of OHKOing, you were 2hkoing.

Your entire goal seems to be what the U150/U100 format actually is...outside of some of the speedy Eeveelutions variants, pretty much all decks are very slow to take off...the only thing that seems to be an issue with your ideal is a lack of balance between Stage 2s and others, but that's kind...

Fisherman/SER/Heliolisk/Magnezone hype! Just hoping they release another Magnezone which is a non-turn-ending Tropical Beach

I was using BCR as an abbreviation This will probably be my final post in this thread, I only mean it to clear up a few points of possible confusion. My main point of why it was too fast was because of Luxray GL Lv.X and Garchomp C Lv.X, one providing a powerful gusting ability (which...

By BCR-RSK, this IS the current format (until Sep. 1st). I was saying that, yes, it was too fast, just as most people say that DP-HS* was too fast, and then I backed it up by likening DP-HS* to BCR-RSK (the current format). If you're going to tell me how to reply to your posts, please first...

No, only the donk decks. Just as they do today. Nowadays, we don't have TRUE donk decks due to a lack of Crobat G effect and Seeker (outside of Shiftry), but we have decks like Night March, Blastoise, etc. that essentially are the same thing. I don't see how you can compare DP-HS with BCR-RSK...

You mischaracterize Uxie LA as being part of a slow format...while it was sometimes used for your purpose, I also use it frequently, to go Uxie, draw until 7, SSU tails, SSU heads, pick up Uxie, draw until 7, Unown R, Retire, Unown R, Retire, PokedexHandy, PokedexHandy, Night Maintenance 4 Unown...

Gallade would allow you to abuse Night March, allowing you to go Ether/Basic Energy instead of relying on 4 DCE.
