Staraptor's horrendous attack costs can be redeemed with Plasma energy acceleration. Deoxys EX boosts allow it to KO weaker basics while it shuffles bulkier threats back into the deck.

Vaporeon. Leafeon, Umbreon, and Flareon are perhaps the most noteworthy of the Plasma Eeveelutions, with Glaceon being borderline (but I'll get to that later). Vaporeon: Works well as a Landorus counter, but it's still a very situational card. It can also have an edge against possible...

Anytime. I'm an Eeveelution fanatic, so anytime new Eeveelutions come out, I always try finding a use for them. Bold is the focus here. I have a feeling that most decks in general will use Skyla for this very reason. However, I feel that it's also a consistency boost for stage 2 decks, as...

A BIG problem would be the expected rise of Plasma Klinklang. If you restrict yourself to all EX attackers, you're essentially walled off altogether. That's going to be the challange for many players (and a much needed one, IMO). Leafeon is good because it doesn't require a Plasma energy, and...

The format isn't as bad as some people say it is. However, I believe what everyone is trying to say is that we all feel pushed towards AT LEAST one of the "big-daddy" EX cards if anyone wishes to make a competitive deck, and this is what everyone is in a ruckus about. Each time you're pushed...

As a self-proclaimed Eeveelution fanatic that was on the verge of leaving the game because of the lack of any good Eeveelutions minus Jolteon DEX (because I just seem to lose the whole 'fun factor' when not playing them for some reason), I am STOKED about the new Eeveelutions! Jolteon - Meh...

In the popular and seemingly "Top 3 decks" we have in the format right now (FluffyChomp, Darkrai/Hydreigon, and ZekEels), Virizion has no place in anything. However, it's not unplayable in rogue decks. I myself have been playing 3 in my rogue deck, and with great effect. It's far better than...

I vote sloppier printing. The last box I got had TWO secret rares (one of which was Rayquaza, thank god) and FOUR EXs, one of which was a full art Registeel EX, and three of which were Giratinas (one being full art). I myself have been noticing an abundance of Giratinas in general. TONS...

It's just as you said. It depends solely on what deck you're splashing it into. Mewtwo EX is ideal for decks that either have DCE or some form of energy acceleration. As you said, it has greater survivability, but also bear in mind that you will usually require a PlusPower to effectively...

Why not do a combination of the two above ideas? Mew EX + Accelgor is an interesting deck in itself. I like the idea of Ninetales being a finisher rather than a main attacker. Bright Look doesn't require it to be active, so you have extra "Catcher" utility as well. I may try this out after I...

While I agree that it won't be NEAR as popular as other decks such as Darkrai/Hydreigon and FluffyChomp, I DO see a glimmer of potential in Ninetales/Amonguss (which I'll refer to as "N/A" throughout this post). Firstly, it's worth noting that N/A can hit the 130 mark with the poison tick...

Zoroark BW might see a comeback in the future, but Cinccino might be a long shot. As Kayle stated, the power creep also includes higher HP, too. 90 damage seems to be the standard now-a-days, and unfortunately, Cinccino sits JUST WITHIN the crosshairs of almost every pokemon out there. On the...

I should've rephrased it. Perhaps I should've said; "You could possibly run it without Eels." Sorry for the confusion there.

I wouldn't even run Eels with it. Just run an energy HEAVY deck (some ridiculous number like 20-30 or so). I've been thinking of a fun Rayquaza EX deck that concentrates on hitting hard turn-2 with Rayquaza EX. My original idea was this: Pokemon: 4 - 4x Rayquaza EX Trainers: 16 - 4x...

In a Darkrai-heavy format and the presense of electric type pokemon, This thing would wreck havoc turn 1. I could EASILY see this as welcome addition to Terrakion/Groudon EX decks.

As I was reading the translations yesterday, I saw something interesting.... Liepard - Dark - HP80 Stage 1 - Evolves from Purrloin [D] Tail Deception. The Defending Pokemon is now Confused. [D][C][C] Assist: Flip a coin. If heads, choose an attack on one of your Benched Pokemon and use...

I for one plan to be running 3-4 Tool Scrappers in my decks for the BW-on format, regardless of Garbador's presence. Good-bye Evolites, Large Cloaks, etc. Hell, it's kinda like a double Plus Power if you think about it. Discarding those Evolites and Large Cloaks means you don't have to worry...

Only if you run Rare Candies, and that would mean that you run Stage 2 pokemon. Empoleon is the only respectably decent Stage 2 right now as far as a BW-on format is concerned. All other decks would need to destroy their consistency just to fit in an EXTREMELY situational tech.

Leavanny is a Stage 2 and is generally too clunky to include in a deck as a tech. Most people will aim to target down the Vileplume itself if Vileplume sees any play at all, rather than use a clunky STage 2 tech.

I posted something about this in my "Rise of the Eeveelutions" thread just yesterday. Figured I could contribute to this discussion by copying and pasting it here.... At least in something like that, though, Darkrai EX is the main attacker and doesn't hinge on Vileplume for every game.
