    Blog "Shaymin-EX Costs How Much?!" — A Couple Of Budget Decks

    Hey Everyone, After doing some testing with Lucario in the upcoming PRC-EVO format, I realized that Karen is a viable inclusion in the deck. She gives you an essentially infinite supply of Pokemon, but also puts all the Pokemon from your opponent's discard pile back into their deck, for you to...

    Blog "Shaymin-EX Costs How Much?!" — A Couple Of Budget Decks

    I still don't like having a two Prize liability on my Bench. I'd rather use Switch. To be honest, I think Carbink is an unsatisfactory wall anyway, and would be better off as Robo Substitute. It is good to note however, that if EXs became more relevant, then Donphan has a fighting type Safeguard...

    Blog "Shaymin-EX Costs How Much?!" — A Couple Of Budget Decks

    Your explanation is spot on, and I sometimes find myself in that exact situation. That is why I thought Cobalion would be a good inclusion - to give you that last KO. Seeing as how we don't play EXs, there will come a time in every game where Cobalion is hitting for 180. We also already have the...

    Agreed. This is actually one of the biggest reasons it's hard for newer players to amass any sort of collection. Guys, any time you make a trade, always check the prices of all the cards being exchanged to see if the trade is reasonable. Trollandtoad.com is a good website to check the prices of...

    Cobalion would be a good idea, but I would use him late game for his Revenge Blast attack. It would be easy enough to charge up with Max Elixir and EXP. Share, and would give us another option to take that last critical KO when Fight Alone doesn't cut it. It's also a pretty good answer to...

    My pleasure. I hope you'll try them out. Starting Klefki isn't really a problem at all. With the two Escape rope, it's pretty easy to get him out of the active spot when you want to. Also, because you're not going to be attacking until at least turn two, Klefki serves as a kind of shield for...

    Blog Playing Pokemon The Cheap(er) Way — Tips On Saving Money

    I never cheap out when it comes to protecting my cards. That said, I thought that Ultra Pro was one of the best brands. It is also the brand that my local game store keeps in stock (almost exclusively). I have heard good things about dragon shield though. I honestly haven't even heard of some of...

    Blog Playing Pokemon The Cheap(er) Way — Tips On Saving Money

    I could definitely see the confusion. You make some very good points here. "Haggling" would have been a good inclusion in here, but it could probably be an article all on it's own. I think a lot of people forget that this is a "blog". The entries do not need to be super long and strictly about...

    Blog Playing Pokemon The Cheap(er) Way — Tips On Saving Money

    Well we both know there's no real way to substitute Shaymin-EX, but I would add some other forms of non-supporter based draw like Unown, Acro Bike, and maybe even Octillery. Hoopa-EX is a bit more manageable. Repeat Ball works well for decks like Zygarde-EX / Regirock-EX or Volcanion-EX. For...

    Another benefit of knowing the meta @TokenDuelist! Some players I know will actually give away their league promos for free! We're talkin' good cards like dimension valley and stuff. I guess because they already have a playset of it, they just don't care. These are not only valuable but playable...

    Thanks man! I'd love to do more sometime. I also like Blastoise / Keldeo-EX a lot, so we'll see what happens.

    Blog Blast From the Past - A Comprehensive Intro to the Legacy Format

    Basically I use Keldeo-EX to Rush In and retreat with Float Stone into a Ho-Oh-EX. Then I use Scramble Switch to switch into my attacker of choice, moving as many energy as I like in the process. I use it alongside Shaymin from unleashed, and Super Scoop Up. Because I play these I don't need to...

    Nice article PMJ. I was actually going to do a similar one but hadn't found the time, guess I can stop looking now :p. Anyway, I like the whole introduction to legacy thing. Great to hear tool drop get a mention, and great to hear that you're playing it! :D I feel like Emboar is actually...
