Two suggestions based on a Houndoom based mill deck I saw used to good effect. Four trick shovel: Let's you discard the top card of your opponent deck. Run one or two Bunnelby (Primal Clash 121): You can either Burrow twice to mill two cards, Rototiller twice to get items back into your deck...

Hey there! First the obvious, have you taken the judge exams for TCG and VCG judges yet? If you haven't, that's the next step. After that, getting to judge events is largely down to getting the local tournament organizers to feel comfortable letting you judge events. Are you going to any of...

Your other option with Houndoom EX is to run a mill deck and try to win by having your opponent run out of cards. Run it with Team Rocket's Handiwork and plenty of disruption cards like crushing and enhanced hammers to keep your enemy unable to attack while you strip cards away.

Well I don’t know if I can articulate something as subjective as why something is fun, but I can certainly why I started playing and why I continue to play. I got into playing the Pokemon TCG about four years ago as a fun activity for me and my then 6 year old son at our local Pokemon League...

Just to be clear, do you still have them replace the card with the one written in the list?

As you say, the rules are pretty clear. That would fall under Legal Decklist, Legal Deck for which the fix is replacing the card with the correct card to match the decklist or with a basic energy if that is not possible. The penalty is Prize Loss. TN States Judge

The short answer at the moment is, "We aren't sure and the Rules Team is looking into it." Under long standing precedent the answer should be "Yes, they are both legal" because the minor change in text does not change the effect of the card at all. However, as I am sure you've heard, the rules...

Well here is an excerpt from the Play! Pokemon General Event Rules 5. Publishing Tournament Information Tournament Organizers, judges, players, and spectators are free to publish details of play and/or the results of a tournament, subject to local, state, and national laws. Decklists or team...

If you are going to play with the Empoleon/Archies/Skyfield engine you should play a few Propagation Exeggecute. Just some other thoughts to consider based on my own Ho-Oh musings. I was going to play Scorched Earth as another way to get Fire and Fighting energies into the discard and add some...

Bright Down: Prevent all effects of attacks, including damage, done to this Pokémon by your opponent's Pokémon with Abilities. Bright Down prevents the effects of attacks. Abilities are not attacks even if they do damage or place damage counters so Bright Down does not stop them.

By my read of the situation, a judge would be trying to determine if this is a Game Play Error - Major or a Game Play Error - Severe. If there is enough evidence from the cards in play and in the discard and agreement from both players that you did indeed have four cards in your hand and that...

Some thoughts with the new Roaring Skies set coming out, you could add some Wally's for quicker evolving, and maybe Sky Field to get more Round pokemon on the bench.

Well I'm not sure about the Milotic energy engine but since that is your stricture let's see what we can do. First thoughts, you need to get energy in the discard in the first place for Milotic to recycle. You should be running Ultra Balls and Battle Compressors for that. Consider running the...

For the N and Colress fillers, I would go with other draw supporters. Professor Birch's Observations, Shauna, or Tierno in order of preference. For the Float Stones, if you want more cards to allow retreat, I'd add two escape ropes. To add to your list of things to add later: 2 Vs Seeker...

Well there are speed versions of decks where you play four Roller Skates and four Acro Bikes to try and draw into cards fast. Most of the cards that give you enhanced draw are weak bench sitter. The new Phantom Forces Slurpuff let's you draw one extra card per turn, two if the pokemon is...

Colress has you shuffle your hand into your deck and then draw cards equal to the number of benched Pokemon so you would be looking at 100-120 max.

I don't think I would play such a thick Excadrill line. If its main purpose is to be a non-EX attacker and a soft Pyroar counter, then I would play a 2-2 line and use the other four spots for more supporters. Your lines look pretty thin.

I think trying to mix fighting and steel the way you are is going to be inconsistent at best. All of the cards that boost the damage of your fighting types won't effect your steel types at all, and those are really the cards that hit the hardest out of the group you've described. My advice to...

Yes, the Radiant collection came out as part of Legendary Treasures which is legal for all tournament play.

Check troll and toad. They had them for 8.50 last I checked. Look specifically for the Mex Ex from the radiant collection.
