    Arcanine BREAK in September's 'CoroCoro Ichiban!'

    Oh man this is kinda cool! I wouldnt be surprised if they printed an Arcanine with Overrun to go with it. Arcanine's had a few cards with Overrun and it'd be kind of a neat reference to the basic Manectric EX as well

    Discussion Viability of SS Clawitzer

    Oh man as soon as I saw Clawitzer I started thinking of ways to use it. It's one of my favorite designs! I thought a bit about Mega Beedrill with it, with either a 4/4 Herbal /Rainbow Energy split and some Special Charges, or maybe a 5/4 Grass/Herbal split with some Mega Turbos. It could be a...

    Japan's XY11: 'Explosive Fighter / Cruel Traitor', CP5: 'Mythical / Legendary Dream Holo Collection'

    Woah, did that Spiritomb just singlehandedly make Yveltal BREAK way more viable? This is super exciting! Ninja boy will be super neat with it to conserve energy between it and Yveltal

    Japan's XY11: 'Explosive Fighter / Cruel Traitor', CP5: 'Mythical / Legendary Dream Holo Collection'

    That Clawitzer is interesting! Could Clawitzer breathe some life back into Mega evolution decks that rely on Specal Energy? M Tyranitar, M Ampharos, M Aggron, M Latios? EDIT: I love the irony of Galvantula being a Joltik counter

    Japan's XY11: 'Explosive Fighter / Cruel Traitor', CP5: 'Mythical / Legendary Dream Holo Collection'

    On one hand, Carbink BREAK can throw 2 DCEs onto M Steelix, but on the other hand, Carbink can throw that many Strong Energies onto M Aerodactyl to do nearly the same exact thing for 2 less energy. I'm kinda bummed out because I love Mega Steelix, but M Aggron and M Aerodactyl both do what it...

    Japan's XY11: 'Explosive Fighter / Cruel Traitor', CP5: 'Mythical / Legendary Dream Holo Collection'

    Yanmega and Clawitzer :O!!! It'd be really cool if Clawitzer or its break are spiritual successors to Crawdaunt ex from Holon Phantoms. If there's any non-Crawdaunt Pokemon that could be printed with Splash Back, it'd be Clawitzer I think. That or Dark Palm (Dusknoir DP) would be a really cool...

    Japan's XY11: 'Explosive Fighter / Cruel Traitor', CP5: 'Mythical / Legendary Dream Holo Collection'

    I know someone mentioned AT Electrike earlier, but oh man... imagine using Carbink Break to set up Promo Regirock safely, and then Ninja Boy-ing the Regi out for an attacker? Since Carbink accelerates any energy at all, it could make for a neat toolbox engine, if not just making Regirock + Ninja...

    Japan's XY11: 'Explosive Fighter / Cruel Traitor', CP5: 'Mythical / Legendary Dream Holo Collection'

    I love this card! I loved M Gallade's attack but I definitely didn't like being weak to Psychic and having to Mega evolve, or the basic being kinda useless. This could be fun with Sharpedo EX. Pull up their bench as you please and spread damage around while Yveltal charges up. Unfortunately...

    Japan's XY11: 'Explosive Fighter / Cruel Traitor', CP5: 'Mythical / Legendary Dream Holo Collection'

    It seems like that Hawlucha was a "Play to your bench and Lysandre up an EX," which honestly sounds super cool. I love seeing colorless cards of dual Flying types too, like the new Talonflame, along with what they did with Shaymin EX and Skarmory ROS

    Japan's XY11: 'Explosive Fighter / Cruel Traitor', CP5: 'Mythical / Legendary Dream Holo Collection'

    The fact that Karen is likely gonna hit the states AFTER Night March leaves Standard is so tragic... Crossing my fingers that it'll end up legal before Worlds somehow, unless PHF somehow ends up staying in? I'd LOVE for PHF to stick around actually, as long as Karen would be in the format.

    Discussion Lugia Fates Collide Applications?

    I think I'd partner it with Bronzong/Aegislash, since the Break is pretty similar to Dialga EX. Winona and Sky field could be awesome here too, grabbing you Shaymin or any of the Lugia Break line depending on what you need at that point in the game, and Bronzong already loves Sky Field. Maybe a...

    Standard Granbull / Cloyster

    This is an interesting deck! Granbull/Heavy Boots also caught my eye back when Breakthrough came out. Have you considered Slowking from Breakpoint? It doesn't discard energy like Cloyster does, but if you have 2 Slowking out there's a 75% chance to move energy off their active while letting you...

    Japan's XY11: 'Explosive Fighter / Cruel Traitor', CP5: 'Mythical / Legendary Dream Holo Collection'

    Aw, I'm kinda sad the background isn't blue or purple or something. I'm not sure if I like the orange with him as much as I do with Juniper. It's a nice dynamic pose though!

    Discussion Techs Post Fates Collide

    Ability damage does pass through, yes, but nothing blocks those except for Theta Stop and stuff that turns off all effects of abilities anyway. Bronzong does have the advantage over Mime of blocking ALL effects of attacks on benched Pokemon though, including damage counters (See: this vid of...

    Discussion Techs Post Fates Collide

    I kinda expect, or at least hope, to see a resurgence of metal decks. The new Bronzong blocks any effect of attacks on the bench, including placement of damage counters. The Break is kinda cool too, providing versatile snipe damage. Plus there's good ol Aegislash EX, who's been needing some new...

    What Would you Ban in the Format to Make it Better?

    Personally, instead of banning something, I think it'd be more constructive to make new cards deliberately designed to fit most decks, which could also potentially check problem cards. Battle Compressor dominating the metagame? Make something that undoes Battle Compressor and can easily fit...

    Discussion Anti-Meta Serperior

    I've actually been super excited about Serperior for a while now and I can't wait to play it! Its Stage 2 status isn't actually that bad since it can take advantage of the Battle Compressor/Revitalizer combo, and its attack costs 1 energy so you could set it up in 1 turn. Servine helps too; the...

    New 'Premium Champion' Set, Blastoise Mega Battle Special Pack!

    I'm not so sure about M Ray since Zoroark and Parallel City will still be alive and kicking (Parallel already being a common tech in decks that run Shaymin or Hoopa). As long as Yveltal is still being played (Evil Ball is too good not to play), Zoroark will still be running around. But I've...

    New 'Premium Champion' Set, Blastoise Mega Battle Special Pack!

    I've been wanting M Beedrill for ages and this is everything I could have wanted from it ;_; And I'm not even worried about Toad. As far as I'm concerned, between Jirachi and the Compressor/Revitalizer/Forest engine, the meta has enough in it to make Toad to quake in its boots. As long as...

    Standard Maxie's Garchomp

    I don't think starting with Unown is really a problem with Garchomp, and may even facilitate its energy acceleration if you have to retreat. Puzzle of Time and Reserved Ticket are both awesome with Unown too. I'm not sure which is better between a 100% chance to grab whatever you want from the...
