This is a bad take. Anything that helps gives players easier access to competitive play should be considered a good thing. You shouldn't be chasing cards like this out of packs anyway. Besides, there's still the higher rarity versions if you really want the chase.

Milotic has the exact same attack, and its a stage 1 with 110HP that doesn't see any play. It's second attack is a worse version of Gourgeist's, which is also a stage 1... This isn't a very good stage 2.

Welp, Tool Drop is officially dead. Honestly I thought it'd be dead after this set came out anyway, but now it's officially dead. Hey, at least I got one great win in with it!

Hmm, so there's going to be 3 Mega Evolutions (Charizard X, Charizard Y, and Kangaskhan), and 5 EXs (Charizard, Kangaskhan, and 3 others), I'm kinda curious what the other three are going to be. I think they're going to hold off on Zygarde for another set or two, so I'm wondering what...

Honestly, I'm just glad to see another Colorless EX. It might be the attacker Fairy.deck needs to get somewhere decent. But then again, I suppose Blastoise and Emboar would probably be able to easily use it too...

Hmm, I forgot that Altaria gave +20 to attack, not +10. Might actually be decent, should be able to hit 160-180 easily enough. Just needs something decent for acceleration. It DOES use Water energies, so I guess Blastoise could be an option, might seem a bit awkward though.

Haha, yes, yes! I knew the Xerneas theme deck was going to be good, it's awesome that it has both Aromatisse and Slurpuff in it. And the trainers aren't terrible either, I can use some more Professor's Letters. Thank you so much for posting the lists, I really appreciate it.

The only thing I can see Wigglytuff used for is a last-chance, all-in attack for whatever Fairy decks come out, and even then it might not be worth the two deck slots.

RE: 120+ 'XY' Scans [1/24] Tauros looks like a really fun card, something to make a stupid-luck competitive deck out of. Yeah my chances of getting 10 heads are 1-in-1024, but dang, 300 damage. And I was really hoping someone would have the list for the theme decks, I've got high hopes for...

I can't see it straight up replacing Juniper/Sycamore, discarding is important in some decks, or at least can be easily worked around, and the two extra cards can sometimes make up the difference in discarding your hand. In evolution-heavy decks I could see playing more Shauna than Juniper, but...

Wigglytuff seems like it would be interesting for an all-in last chance attack in whatever Fairy decks get brewed up. I really want to see the theme deck lists soon, I'm wondering if I should preorder some of these cards before they get overhyped, or if they're all just going to end up being in...

Thinking about rebuilding Empoleon, seems like it has a lot better shot now with Catcher's nerf and it was one of my favorite decks last season. Does the new Empoleon out of Legendary Treasures have any room as a one-of? Seems decent that it can potentially do 130 damage if your opponent is...

Toys R Us has a promo for Black Friday on tins, B1G1 for $5. Unfortunately, unless you can price match the tin's price from somewhere else (which might be hard considering they're never featured in ads or on websites of most major retailers), this isn't much of a deal, cause they usually run...

Wally's Training was only for Active though. Guess it's not really exactly like either then.

Wow, PETM has been downgraded from Supporter to Item. Wonder how much it'll really help evolutions though.

The pull rates do seem to be good so far, I'd have to go back and double check what I got out of my 8 pre-release packs but I was pretty satisfied, pulled 2 EXes (FA Meloetta and Excadrill), and another FA that was Reshiram. Plus a good amount of holo rares, and the Shiny Collection holos. Even...

RE: Plasma Box (Thundurus EX / Deoxys EX with attackers and techs) Just a few quick questions about Plasma Box. 1. Is Deoxys ever used as an attacker, or simply for its ability? It seems like a decent attack against the right pokemon, but I've never heard anyone actually talking about it...

RE: Future Metagame Speculation I could see it working with Stage 2 Pokemon that only need one or two energy. Empoleon is still fairly good, same for Garchomp, Chandelure and Kingdra have some potential too. Techy Stage 2's like Dusknoir and Leavanny are easier to play this way also. Heck...

Oh man, that Cradily. I have no idea how effective it'll end up being but I can't wait to make a Stage 2 Toolbox deck.

Eh, you could argue that the Seismitoad with Round didn't need Rare Candy, since Palpitoad knew it too. I'd probably still run some candies with it though so I suppose you're right, interesting tidbit.
