Nah, you want as many scoop ups as possible to not get screwed over by bad flips. Trick coin for sure, and if you want more than one either take out a switch or a lysandre.

Well, you could always run the energy evo eevee and attach a fire to it to get the flareon and retreat, discarding the energy. I've seen a few people do that well, and it shoves the energy to the discard for future blacksmith use.

I'd say finding room for ariados would be a good idea, to up the damage. And Malamar-EX is a bit of a dead slot; Sleep gets rid of confusion, and any turn you don't have promo malamar active you're letting your opponent attack you. Adding a thin vileplume line might also be a good idea if you...

I would personally suggest taking out 1 Professor Birch's Observations, 1 Shaymin-EX, and 1 Entei for a Jolteon, a Flareon, and an Eevee. Running 5 evolutions and 4 basics? No problem, you want to discard them anyway for vespiquen damage. Also, finding room for some Unown (AOR) would be a really...

It seems like using Reshiram EX (LTR/BWBSP/NXD) would be an effective side-attacker to Charizard-EX to help prevent lone shaymin-ex starts since they both generally do the same thing. Also, would fiery torch or scorched earth with an increased fire energy count maybe be worth considering? Gets...

Boundaries crossed munna. Flip a coin every turn, and if you get tails you're asleep. If you get heads, the defending is asleep, which is nice too.

Is there any card or set of cards that would help a metal deck with a matchup against landorus/crobat, in standard? My deck has very limited space so answers to the landybats deck that include the fewest possible amount of cards would be preferable.

Thanks, I'll consider these. I'd rather keep the aegislash as those are absolutely 100% necessary for the rayquaza matchup, which is more popular than hypnotoxic laser and jirachi EX combined in my area. I definitely need the float stone, but I can try getting a dialga and adding some seeker/N...

So, wait, doesn't that mean you could have a DDE and a rainbow energy attached to kingdra and not have to discard at all?

Guys, come on, just use aegislash EX. I run it and despite never having tested against ray (because all my friends are too honourable to resort to a strategy like that) I almost always get an ideal setup turn 1. Plus, Aegislash EX is just the best thing against ray. Usable attack, high HP, and...

I somewhat agree in that it being in the same format as vs seeker could be problematic, but I don't feel it's the main problem here. Lysandre's trump card is also a nice card to have in every other deck because the format right now if essentially 90% sift, and being able to not deck out is...

Here's the problem; It's not that toad is hard to counter, it's that he's not fun and he limits the format so much. Any deck that isn't the usual yveltal, seismitoad, exeggcutor, flareon, fairies, or landybats has pretty much no chance of doing anything because there are so few actual counters...

I personally tried out with bats and for the most part it's not consistent enough, not being able to draw enough sift early game to apply enough pressure to fast decks and get its evolutions out. Even with a 4-4-4 line of bats and a 4-4 line of excadrill I just can't draw the cards when I need...

As many people have said, seismitoad is not anywhere near being banworthy, however an errata that changes it to not being a turn-1 attack would be very, very good. Or maybe an errata that changes the effect to only activating on a coinflip. Either way, the many counters people have pointed out...

Oh hey, cool, people actually noticed this card. I personally run a deck around it, wally, and shaymin-ex from roaring skies and it works pretty well, although someone suggested bats, which I've never thought of. I might try that out, but the deck has little to no room for extra things after...
