Kingdra might be good for a deck of it's own as it seems its a very good attacker. Super Energy Retrieval will be very useful for surprise attacks in Blastoise/Keldeo, with Black Kyurem and Lugia. Ghetsis will mess up every deck in format. It's doubtful that stage 2 decks will become unplayable after the release of this card but decks like Hammertime, that rely on trainers will struggle. Frozen City will be a very interesting card if Plasma Badge is released. This card, if used properly, might be the end of Blastoise/Keldeo decks. Rock Guard will be one of the most interesting cards released in this set. Imagine you have a full powered up and full HP Darkrai Ex as your attacker and it has Rock Guard. Your opponent will either have to play or search his deck for tool scrapper if he plays tool scrapper. If they can't/don't play tool scrapper, when the attack they'll take 60 damage from probably only doing 90-110 damage. You then use Hypnotoxic Laser and you have Virbank City Gym in play then you attack with darkrai and the opponent dies by poison. Again this will be one of the most interesting cards released in Plasma Freeze. Latias Ex might replace Shaymin Ex in Hydregion/Darkrai decks as this card's ability will be very good against quite a lot of the major cards in format and the attack's damage looks acceptable. This Tornadus Ex will be quite interesting as it will need plasma energy to reach it's full potential and it's first attack is a great hand filler with your in a supporter drought. Imagine attaching 2 Plasma energy to Tornadus Ex and a DCE, it mow does 120 damage. This card would probably go well with Deoxys/Thundurus decks and it's energy can easily be scrambled switched onto a surprise Lugia or Snorlax. Float stone will be very good for decks like Landorus/Mewtwo and Ho-oh decks. Shadow triad might be better used than Thundurus as it's a supporter and reusable if Thundurus Ex is replaced by Sableye and the Lightning energy replaced with Darkness energy. Life Drops looks like a pretty good card with Lugia around but can only really reach it's fullest use if paired with Sableye. The FA Juniper and Ghetsis and the shinies will be very much wanted as almost all of them are playable. Giratina and Darkrai FA from Team Plasma Gift Set might be released in Plasma Freeze but sadly they aren't very playable. I'm going to hate Pokemon if they put the Everyone's Exciting Battle Gift Set in Plasma Freeze as all of those cards suck. The only maybe, worthwhile cards might be Professor Oak's Meeting and Fennel's Assistance. Fennel's Assistance looks OK but I'm going stick with using N or Colress. If you're crazy enough to want to play with a card identical to Bill from the old days, this is the card for you. They might also put in Plasma Freeze, the promos they've released in Japan but not to the rest of the world. I'm really hoping they release promo's like Nobunga's Rayquaza, reprinted Bianca and reprinted Pokedex, Well, let's see what they decide to release in Plasma Freeze when it comes out.

Must say: Kingdra Mandibuzz Landorus.

Run 4 Prism Energy and 4 Blend.

That's all you need. Greatest sniping deck of our generation.

I was thinking that Kingdra should get it's own deck as it's pretty good with maybe 3-4 other Exs like Regigigas or Kyurem EX NXD.

Kingdra Mandibuzz Kyurem. Even bet- wait, no its not. Takes too much energy to benchsnipe.

I was thinking a list like this:

Kingdra x 4
Seadra x 3
Horsea x 4
Landorus Ex x 3

Pokemon: 18

Juniper x 3
N x 4
Bianca x 3
Skyla x 3

Supporters: 13

Switch x 4
Pokemon Catcher x 4
Ultra Ball x 3
Ether x 3
Pokedex x 3
Rare Candy x 4
Computer Search x 1

Trainers: 18

Water x 6
Fighting x 5

Energy: 11

Of course, this is a draft list I just randomly made up as I just thought of it. This list is probably quite unplayable and I bet people will come up with better lists than this when the card comes out.
 
The sell sheet for the set has been revealed, confirming that the new sleeved boosters will be the same price as before ($3.99 single, $574.56 for master carton of 144).

Aren't sleeved booster supposed to be the new and improved environmentally friendly blister packs?
