    News 'Dark Order,' Japan's October Mini-Set!

    In that situation, yes. In all other situations, Sightseer is better for card draw... and if that's what the deck needs, I'd rather run 2 Sightseer than 1 Sophocles, and 1 Twins. Especially under the original context, of wanting a discard supporter.

    News 'Dark Order,' Japan's October Mini-Set!

    The problem is, often times you want a draw supporter when your hand is bad. If you have 0-1 cards in hand, Sophocles is not playable, and at two cards, is just an objectively worse option. This alone, makes me favor Sightseer. But, that doesn't mean there aren't a list of other scenarios in...

    News 'Dark Order,' Japan's October Mini-Set!

    Definitely don't need a playset, but I can see 2 copies in decks that want discard~ I think the purpose of the newer supporters is to cut-down on raw draw power. If that's the case, we will see less discard support overall; making Sightseer a more viable choice.

    News 'Dark Order,' Japan's October Mini-Set!

    As Rooie said. Sightseer is actually good. Draw to 5 is solid; not great, but definitely usable. Optional discard is what makes it staple material. You can throw away specific cards, without having the collateral damage of Sycamore. Together with Acro Bike, I think it's a great choice for...

    Discard Darkrai-GX. Activate ability. Attach Energy. Play Nanu. Replace Darkrai-GX with your attacker. Seems like a solid addition to the dark archetype; especially in Expanded with Darkrai.

    Sorry. Morning Math. added an extra proc, and forgot the "10+" What card(s) would you add for draw support? Initial thoughts: Marshadow Oricorio These can be used and discarded, and are also searchable via Mysterious Treasure.

    Dragon Majesty releases September 07, 2018; with Dragonite-GX. Agreed, to an extent. Remember, you'd only have up to 4 Giratina. So, bench would likely be: Giratina Giratina Giratina Giratina/Back up Cofagrigus Back up Cofagrigus So, 120/150 damage, 30 from CB. Next turn bring back 3...

    Oh, you're right. I've misread that card twice now... Good looking out~

    @Mysticvulpix that new Sceptile-GX might be what you're looking for... Haha. Turn1 : Net Ball Grab Treecko + Grass Energy Use Grass Energy to evolve Eeevee to Leafeon Pokemon Fan Club for 2 Treecko GX attack 3 Grovyle Turn2: Grovyle abilities for 2 Sceptile-GX and 1 Sceptile CST~

    Verizion seems like a solid card, but I'm not sure it hits the numbers it needs to, to be relevant in the meta. If you want to try for a stage2 Grass deck, Leafeon-GX may be worth a try!

    Hmmm... I think the strength of counter Ultra Beasts, is outweighed by the sacrificing of consistency; it's very hard to get away with two Stage2s in the same deck. Shifty has powerful attacks, but I feel you'll be so focused on setting it up, that you'll struggle to chain your other combos (to...

    Don't worry about it, I can be rather blunt at times; which can easily be seen that way. Haha. Deciphering tone tends to be difficult over text. Feel free to send me a message, if you have a question!

    SM7a 'Fairy Rise' Announced!

    Yeah, this is exactly my point. You act like an authority on the matter; which makes this a bit comedic: Your opinions are stated as facts, yet it's not possible for you to have tested with them. Claiming that Zoroark-GX will stop being relevant... When every deck loses consistency. and it's...

    1. Buzzwole already has an advantage, if they went first, and you are using your first attacking turn to grab basics that need to evolve. Buzzwole only needs 1 energy. That's it. No evolutions. You can have 2 Buzzwole "set-up" on turn 2. Don't forget, Brooklet allows you to grab Diancie and...

    SM7a 'Fairy Rise' Announced!

    Hi, you seem to be overrating a card, while underrating another. Consider: Dunsparce requires you to attach an energy, and attack. It cannot be done turn1. If Buzzwole goes second, it OHKOs Dunsparce, before it does anything. For one energy. and, unlike Zoroark, it will be running many basic...

    Are you... Comparing Dunsparce to Brigette, and saying it's not worse? Wild. Maybe if Brigette ended your turn, yeah. But using a supporter to set up, is far better than using an attack. Dunsparce is also OHKOd by Jet Punch, but, uh... "No early game," right? Also... Hi, here's 20 damage.

    I agree with you, for the most part. Though, I feel Zoroark's ability will still make it a top tier deck. Mainly, because in a meta with less draw supporters, Zoroark's ability becomes an even greater asset. Getting one Zoroark-GX, can often times snowball into getting the others set-up...
