That sucks, then why dont we banned all other cards that everyone like to play. I really dont think any card should be banned. Yes it is true that some cards are better then others, but the is why we have rares, un-commons, and commons.

Where's the proof?
-------------------- What, like the pro-archetype attitude is supposed to be restricted to THIS company, and THIS TCG? All card games run on archetypes. Magic is 90% archetypes. YGO is 90% archetypes. Pokemon was, for the most part, all archetypes before and during MF2. Pokemon will be archetype-based during MF3. Pokemon will be archetype based when it is under Nintendo.
Viva la unoriginality!

These were my exact sediments! How odd...
MMF -- every deck can take out its Pichus/Igglybuffs. Muk has no reason to exist. Team -- Slowking wasn't that good anyway based on the rulings that it can only affect one team member at a time.

Blaine I remind you, slowking was a mis-translation right from the beginning. Slowking was just too overpowered, It became that we all starting saying instead of, what will go good with my deck as a whole, we were saying what will go good in my deck against slowking. The format is much better without him.

Boy, that absolutely sucks.
There is no more trainer control, especially with the number of trainers that were just released in expedition, and the number that will follow in Aquapolis. Slowking was the only thing keeping trainer decks in check, and keeping other decks viable. Heh, even Cleffa's importance in the game has just been weakened. No slowking to run from at this point.
Wait, are they going to ban fossil moltres, so nooone will lose by decking (I know there are too many ooos in that woord)?
Slowking at least gave people something to watch out for...
Muk dies a lonely death. Pichu is harmed (except to protect against entei cargo), and igglybuff is cardboard garbage. Even SI Jiggly (which was fun to FTKO with Tyrogue) is now useless.
Yay! Now all the decks will play the same! Where are the 5 pieces of Exodia when you need them to make the game more interesting?
Just when I thought the game was getting better...
We are really going back to the good old days.
Look at the next Best of Promos (pictured in the pack)
1. Blastoise 2. Hitmonchan Both are shown with their symbol behind them.
Not even Dark Vileplume will save you all now - the Trainermon era will now begin! My December 28 tourney will be the last hurrah for Slowking!
Good night all. Try to sleep while my Tryroge strength charms your buzzes!!!
Sad day for the game, indeed.
See you on the boards, this sorry stinking update.
