It has a lot of uses in Eels. It's a good starter, it counters Dragons, and it can get a few extra Lightning in the discard on T1. While the deck doesn't need it "badly", it's playable enough to send it's price tag through the roof.are there any decks which need rayquaza badly? Its good in Garchomp/Altaria, but garchomp/altaria works without rayquaza.
But zekeels needs it to!
Also drifblim/darkrai/hammers = next BDIF!
I wonder when we will get the promo rayquaza and giratina EX?
Not sure of this has been acknowledged yet, but there are three cards missing between Durant and Gible, would suggests that there is a chance that a normal Rayquaza could make the cut.

If you look at the background of each card almost all of them are at N's castle or the PokemonLeague.
The only gripe I've got with this set is the fact that if you are going to have a set with 128 cards, you need to have more than 6 trainers/energy. You need to have 12+. They need desperately to have a Legend Maker/Unseen Forces type trainer set, where there is an insane amount of them, and nearly all are playable. We are about to have a significant drop in the amount of usable trainers, and that's not really a good thing.

Uhm...no? Rayquaza EX is bad. Or, to be a lil more politically correct, not as good as people think it is.The reason Rayquaza is so good is because it is the absolute best counter to Rayquaza ex. Rayquaza ex hates to trade itself for regular Rayquaza's because it is losing prizes in the process. Now with it only being shiny, the lack of Rayquaza's will make Rayquaza ex a lot harder to deal with for every deck that isn't Garchomp/Altaria, meaning that the deck can completely gear itself to beating that deck with its techs, rather than every deck that can afford a few copies of Rayquaza. It also gave a lot of decks a way to soften upDragon decks, or deal with Garchomp Altaria by KOing their Altarias/Swablus/Gibles/Babites early on. Everything in that deck apart from Emolga/Garchomp and tech are OHKO'd by his first attack.
Really hope they release the normal one sooner than later
