DP-GE. That is my prediction of what will be rotated. I just can't see them rotating SEVEN sets(even if they didn't rotate last year). And IMO, DP-GE would be enough of a shake-up. No Claydol, No Unown G(Gengar SF anyone?:wink No Dark Palm Dusknior. Its not a lot of cards lost. But they are several staples to many top tier decks.
Just my three cents :thumb:

That's probably part of the reason they didn't rotate last year. Having Gengar and Machamp in the format with no Unown G would be a disaster. IMO they will stay in or go out together.

I guess I just see it differently. Where as you might see it as a disaster, I see it more of a challenge(in both game-play and deckbuilding). :biggrin:
And on a side note, Gengar will have a few less targets(without Claydol). It would be limited to a few uxies and azelf. And Machamp would also be able to keep SP in check.

Is it possible that they could do a reprint of Unown G to keep it in the format? Like keeping the text, putting some new artwork on it, and releasing it as a black star promo or something?
On another note--one thing that gives me pause is the league promos. If I have the info straight, they'll be giving out Felicity's Drawing starting March 22. Has she been re-printed in a PL-on set? If not, then they're giving away a card that will only be good for 4-5 months. Which seems odd.
And does anybody know which side of the DP/PL divide OP8 falls on? (If there is indeed a firm answer to that.)
