A simple enough concept, how would Ross's deck work if you took out the "toolbox" cards like the ESL, Zekroms, and all the Fire and Rainbow Energies, switching the bulk of those cards for a decent-sized Machamp line? I get that the idea of one-shotting everything in the competitive scene is...

After quite a bit of comparisons with other Sablelock players as well as the addition of a couple of my own techs, here is my Sablelock list going into States on Saturday. This list utilizes the newly popular tech of Luxray in the traditional Sablelock build, making a hybrid between the two...

I'm talking all four sets of the Heart Gold Soul Silver series. I'm in a bit of a financial bind right now and am starting to sell a bunch of my cards in preparation for a move. I recently priced all of my "special" cards for sale at $355, those are my Lv.Xs and additional primes. However, I...

After stumbling across a decklist awhile back, I was surprised at how well Fossil Pokemon actually worked. So surprised in fact, that they usually don't require consistency cards, as Omanyte and Kabuto are both supported by the Aqua and Rock Reaction Poke-Bodies. I'm hoping to get a second...

I'm trying to build up my Magnezone deck for cities, so there's a few things I'm looking for in particular. I simply have too much to count, so I'm just going to start with the merch, then go down in rarity. 1 pack of Celebi sleeves from the Triumphant Prerelease (used just for the PR, then...

I've recently started playing around with a neat spread for my Gengar/Vileplume deck (will likely be taken apart, never to be seen again if Lost World hits stateside). Basically, it utilizes a 1/1/1/1 spread of every decent Gengar in the format (Fainting Spell Gar/Cursegar/Gengar Prime/Gengar...

It's occured to me that I often have competition as to whether I want to Warp Energy my Gyarados out for Seeker or if I want to attach the Rescue Energy and ATTEMPT to sacrifice (it could be worked around with Flash Bite, Toxic Fang, or some other attack effect. For this reason, I've concluded...

Taking the writing on the text at face value, it says "You may use this card only if you have more Prize Cards left than your opponent" Since using Portrait or Impersonate actually replicates the effect of the card, forces its use, and not actually use the card itself, would Sableye/Smeargle...

So I've simmed out my specially made Vilegar deck that utilizes Cursegar and Gengar Prime, and it performs reasonably well, the only deal is that I hit a brick wall when facing Umbreon. I need a decent tech to beat that thing quickly, lest it wreck havoc on me. SP is starting to tech it in as...

So I finally figured out a decent way to utilize Gengar Prime's ability to send cards into the Lost Zone, and surprisingly, it stacks well with the "obsolete" Cursegar from Arceus. Here's the proposed decklist. Pokemon: 25 4-3-1-2-1 Gengar (1 Gengar AR, 2 Gengar Prime, 1 Gengar Lv.X) 4...

Obviously, this is being hyped just as much as Vileplume was in Undaunted. So I have to ask, running a Gyarados deck myself, will Rescue Energy, Junk Arm, and Hunter really make Gyarados a wrecking machine again?

So I finally decided upon a list to go to my nearest Battle Roads tomorrow morning, and (surprise surprise), it's a Luxchomp build. But I know not all Luxchomp builds are created equally, so what makes my list special? Read on, give your thoughts, and post any suggestions for the deck...

I see everybody at my locals carrying a couple of loose Arceus cards, and they all use them as binder-fillers. They literally hate the cards and will do anything to get rid of them. I've heard of the Arceus deck archetype. How well does it measure up against the other heavy-hitters?

I've been refining my DialgaChomp list as of late, and I've noticed how long it actually takes nearly everything (minus Machamp/Charizard/Blaziken FB) to take down Dialga. That said, what kind of play would it be to tech in a Lucian's or two to transfer all the Special Metals from your wounded...

So, I was considering running Luxchomp for Battle Roads, but I decided that a bulkier, more methodical approach was needed to combat the looming threat of VileTomb, especially since DialgaChomp doesn't struggle as much against it as Luxchomp does. So, here's the provisional list. Pokemon...

First off, rules. 1. I WILL NOT trade with anyone with less than ten refs. Consider it insurance since the one time I have traded online, it was with a newbie that ended up scamming me. If you have over ten refs, I'll accept and send first (it's only fair). 2. I'd prefer to not CYL. What...

For those unfamilar with the term "short-printing", it essentially means really good, playable cards that aren't holo or the like, but seem to be printed in much fewer quantities so as to artificially spike demand and prices. I'm talking cards like Cyrus' Conspiracy, Call Energy, Poke-Turn...

I've assembled together a nice listing for a theoretical MD-On Gyarados deck with Donphan as a viable tech. The high-HP, high-damage for low-energy cost makes Gyarados a nice, appealing deck for the next format, especially since its only real loss is Felicity's Drawing. Now, onto the list...

It seems that, when HGSS was released and Double-Colorless was once again introduced to the Pokemon TCG, Blaziken FB went from a component of the most powerful deck in the format to a rarely-used tech. With the increasing rise of Trainer-lock and Dialga G usage projected this season, will we...

A friend of mine recently started teching in Espeon Prime into his Umbreon UD deck. With its ability to use Moonlight Fang, and yet hit for Psychic damage to out-damage Machamp, it seems like it'd be a good option. Anyone else have any thoughts about this tech?
