    Groudon EX/Vileplume UD

    1. You probably know, but Groudon and Darkrai are a long ways off being released. So it's kind of hard to give any help for the deck because there's no general idea of what are the decks to beat in the months to come. 2. I'm not sure why you went ultra ball over communication, seems like you...

    Gardevoir vs. Xatu

    Not sure if you guys can comment on this yet, but since an English scan got shown I figured I'll ask. If I have Gardevoir from the new set (http://pokebeach.com/news/0112/57-gardevoir.jpg) out, and a Psychic energy attached to my active, and my opponent attacks with Xatu from Unleashed (20x...

    Is intentionally scooping moral?

    Moral isn't a definitive term. Everyone has their own morals. Personally I'm 100% fine with scooping to a good friend to get them into top cut when I'm at 0% risk. I might screw someone else out of top cut, but that assumes that a. I would win my game b. The entire system of resistances would...

    More PokeGear rather than Max Collector(Need Statistics Help Please)

    I think it's pretty obvious that a card that is literally a Collector is going to get you a higher % result than something that is a chance at getting a collector. So, no, if your goal is a t1 collector, maxing pokegears will not improve it. Of course, there is some improvement if you are...

    The Everything Durant thread

    Honestly you can't do much at all. Best bet is to catcher/hammer to force them to hit an attach every turn. Unfortunately, there's not much you can do to guarantee you even get to draw any of those cards. Honestly it's all topdecks/flips, and don't get discouraged if you go second and don't...

    Mew and Swanna: Best Friends return!?

    I don't see this being as amazing at it first sounds. Think about it, 1 extra turn to lost zone swanna, 1 extra turn to use Feather Dance, then you have to live, THEN you get your mega boost spread. Compared to... Glaciate Glaciate Glaciate. If you can just attack 3 turns in a row with...

    Is Gothitelle outdone?

    Gothitelle is still really good if you get it out on turn 2. You can practically beat any deck with a turn 2 gothitelle, including Magnezone (remember they have to go through their stage 1, and you can still play catchers). Against Chandelure if you hit turn 2 goth you can catcher oddishes and...

    75 minute Top Cuts

    If the TO is faithful to the announced top cut that was set prior to registration, I'm all for longer top cuts. What I would hate is something like the TO lengthening the top cut without prior knowledge. I don't want to register for an event with a deck like ZPS, then be told that top cut is 75...

    Annoyed by opponents conceding online

    Conceding early/fast doesn't bother me at all, maybe they're trying to get a lot of testing in a short window of time and don't want to attempt to play out games that they think they've lost. While it's rarely over 100% when people concede online, you can still consider it a win and just play...

    Abbreviations in Note Taking

    The official ruling on Note Taking in-game includes this section: If I were to use Alph Lithograph to look at my prizes, and wanted to record them on a sheet of paper, would I have to write out the entire name of every card so as to not "use codes, ciphers, abbreviations..."? Or could I, for...

    Which trainer/supporter do you MOST want to see get rotated out?

    Just gonna throw out there that having 4 extra copies of every trainer in your deck does not add skill. It removes the tough choices like "I will need 3 of X vs. this matchup, but 3 of Y vs. this matchup" and replaces them with "better put in 1 of each and essentially I run 5!" Junk arm...

    Zekrom Eelektrik

    Generally most people will just add Mewtwo to counter Mewtwo.

    Zekrom Eelektrik

    I think that the decision between a pure Tornadus/Zekrom/Eel and one with a lesser focus on the basics and a Magnezone line depends on the local metagame. Things like Vanilluxe/Vileplume, Gothitelle, and Truth are obviously much weaker to Magnezone versions, but if those aren't popping up, a...
