    TCG Fakes Attix's TF2 Mercs-GX!

    I was interested in making some card fakes, so after learning some photoplasty, I present to you Pokémon-GX... featuring the mercenaries from Team Fortress 2 instead of regular Pokémon! Obviously, these are in no way serious fakes, although I will try to make them at least look playable. All...

    Discussion Alolan Muk

    In Standard, Garbotoxin is rotating, and in Expanded, Hex Maniac was just banned. In light of those, some (such as myself) have suggested Alolan Muk might see a rise in usage. It does only affect Basic Pokémon, but there are a lot of potent Basics with abilities in both formats, so I want to...

    Expanded Coconut Purgatory (Alolan Exeggutor FLI)

    This is just a fun little deck I came up with between deliveries while at work. Probably not 100% competitive, but still entertaining to use. ****** Pokémon Trading Card Game Deck List ****** ##Pokémon - 13 * 2 Shaymin-EX ROS 77 * 1 Sudowoodo GRI 66 * 3 Exeggcute PLF 4 * 1 Exeggcute UPR 1 * 4...

    Discussion Excellent cards that people did not think would be good

    I've been thinking about this for a while: what are some examples of cards that were thought to be mediocre at best to just plain bad at worst (or even cards that just flew under the radar) when they were first revealed that went on to be metagame-definers, or at least extremely good techs or...

    Discussion Do you think Buzzwole is OP in Standard?

    I'm asking this as a serious question, not because I'm salty about anything. I was at league today at Mox Boarding House in Bellevue, and at one point played a match against an Expanded player (who had a really annoying Ninjask deck that I nonetheless managed to defeat). After the match, I...

    Standard Bushido Beating (Empoleon/Zoroark)

    This is my personal take on Empoleon, pairing it with Zoroark GX to hit things for huge numbers. So with that in mind, what do you think I do well and what could be done better? What other top threats do you think I'm missing, especially things that might counter it (other than the...

    Standard Shatter Shotgun Revisited (Lunala Prism Star)

    Over in the Budget Deck thread I have a deck called "Shatter Shotgun" which relies on using Lunala GRI's Shatter Shot to deal loads of damage. Since then, I've taken the deck back into the shop and tried to make it more consistent and competitive. I've come to the conclusion that Lunala Prism...

    General I had the weirdest dream last night

    So this is a bizarre dream I had last night and I felt the need to type it out somehow. So there was a gorgon loose in the neighborhood, and everyone at my house had the place barricaded. For whatever reason I decided to go out, even though everyone said it probably wasn't a good idea to do so...

    Discussion Is Empoleon worth using?

    I used Empoleon at the prerelease tournament in Renton yesterday and thought it was pretty good, with its Total Command attack potentially allowing up to 230 damage against an opposing EX/GX and its other atttack removing energies, so I want your guys's honest assessment of this card and if it's...

    Discussion Best combos for Honchkrow GRI?

    I was thinking on some good combos for Honchkrow GRI and Raven's claw, and already have found Tapu Koko Promo to be an excellent one. What are some others? Maybe some deck suggestions?

    General If you could invent anything...

    If you could invent any one thing, what would it be? For me, probably a series of teleporter gates. Around where I live (Puget Sound) there's a bunch of ferries, which are slow and expensive, linking more remote and island communities to the mainland. If I had drivable gates that instantly took...

    Standard Friggin' Geotech System (Meta GX/Lele GX/Zoroark GX)

    Writing Alola! A Shrine Maiden's Adventure

    For the past couple of months, I've been working on a fanfic over at AO3 which is a Pokémon SMUSUM/Touhou Project crossover. I will reprint each chapter here in their entirety as they are posted on AO3.

    News Olympia Train Wreck

    There was a major train derailment yesterday close to where I live where a high-speed Amtrak train, on that line's inaugural voyage, jumped the track on a bridge crossing over I-5 between Tacoma and Olympia, killing at least three people and injuring dozens. Right now, southbound 5 is closed...

    Strategy VGC 18 Ideas

    I'm trying to get the ball rolling for some good VGC 18 team ideas, but I don't really know the best place to start, so I thought I'd ask you guys for some suggestions so I can put something strong together. Mostly I'm interested in: Based on recent regional tournament trends as well as Smogon...

    Standard Metagross GX/Espeon GX

    So I've been tweaking my deck around based on play experience, and I think I've found a good balance. So here's my deck as it stands: 4 Metagross GX (GR) 4 Metang (GR) 4 Beldum (GR) 2 Espeon GX (SM) 2 Eevee (SM) 1 Necrozma GX (BSH) 1 Oricorio (GR) 1 Latios (SL) 1 Alolan Vulpix (GR) 4 Ultra...

    Standard First Deck (Bewear GX/Metagross GX)

    I'm fairly new to the TCG and have been working on a first deck within the standard format, going to some TCG events and getting advice along the way and making observations. It started life as a Steel Sun theme deck, but has obviously received more of a makeover than most Hollywood celebrities...
