    Standard Glaceon GX/Swampert

    After reading this post, I was pretty intrigued by the idea of Swampert/Glaceon-GX and started deck testing with it. Unfortunately, after playing 30 or so matches I discovered that this deck build may be best reserved as a fun deck rather than a competitive one. I say this for the following...

    Tournament Poll for September Tournament Format

    Definitely gonna vote Standard Format on this one. As @lukas2aces mentioned, some people use the Pokebeach tournament as a competitive environment to deck test in when major changes are made to the meta (like a new format rotation). So I think it's beneficial to go Standard Format at least for...

    Help The "What Should I Buy?" Thread

    The reality is, the current meta demands every deck have Tapu Lele in order to be as competitive as possible. Lele is simply so versatile in it's ability to transfer one supporter from your deck to your hand, that it's definitely worth it to spend the money and buy a few copies yourself. That...

    Help Best Greninja-GX Archetype Post-Format?

    After doing some research on potential post-format decks, I came upon Greninja-GX from the Forbidden Light set. Having been a huge fan of Greninja BREAK myself, I was excited to see what kind of deck builds people came up with for its GX version. So I looked into it and found multiple lists...

    Good games, you played well! Shame to make it so far and lose to a bad matchup, maybe we will verse one another some time. Thanks for hosting @PMJ, really appreciate you putting in the time and effort for the benefit of others.

    Lol September Tournament is about to finish, a little bit late to register. October tournament will start shortly though, so you might get a spot but no guarantee!

    @quakingpunch73 As much as I would love to fully participate in this Mafia game, I'm currently wrapped up in school and other activities. That being said, I would love to sign up as a sub in case I'm free sometime and the need arises. Sign me up as a sub!

    Discussion Greninja BREAK 2018

    For starters, it's not even an auto win lol. I have seen plenty of good Greninja players overcome Giratina even in a two out of three match format. Secondly, you will see it a lot less than even 1/20, probably closer to like 1/50 considering I have played a lot in this new format and haven't...

    Discussion Greninja BREAK 2018

    Nobody plays Giratina Promo past roation, so no don't just "find a new deck". Greninja is not popular enough nor good enough to justify running Giratina in any deck, also because Giratina only counters Zoroark and Greninja. See countering a card like Garbodor is different because Field Blower is...

    Discussion Greninja BREAK 2018

    Here is my Greninja deck list that I have had a lot of success with at league cups and on PTCGO. One thing to consider when playing Greninja is whether you want to use a Talonflame archetype or Starmie archetype. Personally I have had more success with Talonflame, because I like its use as a...

    Standard Greninja BREAK (BKT-BUS)

    This change also makes complete sense! In many of my decks that are weak to Garbodor (due to ability heavy functions), I have already added the 3rd Field Blower you are talking about. Honestly, this wasn't something I had considered for Greninja because I don't face the Garbodor matchup that...

    Standard Greninja BREAK (BKT-BUS)

    Glad to hear you got back into the TCG! While I actually prefer Talonflame archetype over Starmie, this definitely makes for an interesting and unique list. Running more draw support is something I have considered but have had trouble finding the space for, but Brooklet Hill on the other hand is...
