Just a quick question: It doesn't say anything about 2 vs. 2? Will all games involve 2 vs. 2? DO i have to have 2 basic Pokemon at the same time?

I love that they got this info at the first of the month! Now the play-testing begins! :D

-DA king :cool:
 
to replace goldberry and focus band ( well you can never truely replace focusband as it holds a dear spot in all our hearts :( ) but yea potion? moo moo milk?
i have used these for years (well maby not potion) OK maby only in certain ultra heal decks.......but heck with goldberry and foucsband gone..... its now 4potion and 3 moomoo milk for me :thumb:

I am very glad to hear that Modified will be E-on. Having done some experimentation with E-on (the first Modified I ever tried), I must say I like it as a format. Plenty of deck options, good base of Pokemon and Trainers, and an overall environment that, at least at present, seems very balanced.
Not having the Best Promos hurts a little, but we'll adjust. What I don't like is that every card E-on has for drawing or hand-changing is a Supporter, now that we don't have Elm. This is probably not going to change soon.

Only four spaces? Didn't you play Elm? ;)

Nah.. I only have two Elms, and no Best Of ones, so either I forgot that was Best of card, or I preferred Desert Shaman... I don't even remember. 0.o I only built the deck on Tuesday. heh
Desert Shaman is quite an ownage card though, haha, especially when your opponent has more than 8 cards in their hand.. :D
 
djcati did we not get you 4 elms at London last week? Shame on my helpers .. email me your addy and I will stick 4 in the post.

Myst'
Professor Oak's Research, Copycat, and Desert Shaman will have to suffice in place of Elm.

Great but we have a pile of elms to give less experienced and new players but with the scarce nature of uncommons we have few "Professor Oak's Research and CopyCat to replace them with!
 
Hmmm, I'm looking at the floor rules now and it looks like all of the black star promos are still allowed, including the ones WOTC banned last year. Yay eevee's back!!!
 
well scratch that idea, oh well

Anyway, this new format does leave room for new drawing engines. I wonder if copycat will still be viable without elms or cleffas to copy.
 
People seem to think so -- Copycat is still everywhere. The other favorite seems to be Juggler. Strangely, Oak's Research still doesn't seem to be catching on...
 
I never liked Oak's Research. I've been against Oak's Research and for Copycat since the day Expedition was released. A new hand of only 5 cards is no card advantage. Copycat will give you more than 5 cards 80-90 % of the time. And even though it sometimes gives you few, it's still work playing. Because what do you have to worry for when your opponent has a tiny hand?
