    Palace Belt Tool card

    This seems pretty good, actually. Put it on a cleffa in ZekEels, and whenever they KO anything other than cleffa, put it active.

    A Generation 1 deck

    It depends if you're trying to win or if you're trying to have fun. The two are vastly different.

    Rishwyn's Call

    Search your deck for up to three Basic Pokemon cards and reveal them, then search your deck for three basic energy cards and reveal them. You may put any number of pokemon revealed this way onto your bench, then attach each energy card revealed this way to those pokemon in any way you like. Put...

    Rotation time and likelihood. When and How far back?

    My secret friends at WOTC said that the rotation is reimplementing MD-On again to fix SP. I mean, EXes.

    Time: What can we take to improve it?

    To put going first in perspective: Two players have similar starts - a Tynamo and a Thunderus. Whoever goes first not only attacks their opponent's tynamo first (with catcher) as well as getting to evolve their tynamo before their opponent gets a chance to evolve. It's the same thing...

    Time: What can we take to improve it?

    Just to adress this point: If both players risk losing cut if they lose, they will basically never draw. (The difference between a draw and a loss when you are 10-2 is HUGE) If both players are in, (Say, you're 12-1 in a 14 round tournament) they can play it out. The only case in which...

    Time: What can we take to improve it?

    I'm not going to mention the length of time in rounds here. The problem I want to adress/see adressed is the actions taken after time has been called. Time limits are 100% essential to prevent rounds from going over time, but the state of the game is currently the winner after time is not...

    Juniper - 'showing' what you discard...

    If a player uses Professor Juniper, do you have to 'show' your opponent what you discard? I was discussing with myself earlier if using juniper and then shuffling your hand into your discard pile without fanning out for your opponent was a legal move (even though I personally wouldn't go to that...

    New Ho-Oh EX good for donking?

    mewtwo dce kill your tynamo donks play a huge part in this format. (Edit: Compare - dual ball juniper ho-oh flip (heads, lets assume) attach the multiple different energies you discarded (of course) ... kill tynamo)

    Impact of Random Receiver?

    I think it is very unlikely that the card gets played over Poke'Gear.

    Is EelZone Really Dead?

    A good zek eels pokemon list: 1 Cleffa 4-3 Eels 2 Zekrom 1-2 Zekrom EX 2 Mewtwo EX 2 Thundurus You do not need shaymin at all. Using a Switch is basically the same as a shaymin, except you want more bench space. 4 free retreat tynamo means you switch, dynamotor and retreat for free again...

    Psychological Side to Pokemon

    There are few occasions where reading your opponent matters; because it's very hard to play around even if you knew what they had. If they have a catcher, you're in a bad spot. But, it's not like you play around them having switch - if they have a switch, you dynamotor and attack. If they...

    States report... with a minor rant! (Melbourne, Australia)

    Garchomps availability in a tin was what made it not ridiculously expensive.

    States report... with a minor rant! (Melbourne, Australia)

    Yeah. Registration started at 10am. the finals finished at 10pm. For 44 players, that's ridiculous. It's a shame the number of donks atm with all of the mewtwo and all of the tynamo. There is making the card have value, versus making an artificial shortage. If P!P truly cared, they...

    States report... with a minor rant! (Melbourne, Australia)

    I hate mewtwo. I have magnezone/eelektrik sleeved up the night before - but decide with a friend that games nowadays aren't going to go for long enough for magnezone to be more useful than supporters. At this point I build a good old standard zek/eels list, but I add a blackbelt for good...

    pack art = EX.

    i opened one mewtwo pack and got a mewtwo its's great cause that means you have 100% chance to get one

    Are "Tropical" cards worth trading a Mewtwo Ex for?

    The preorder price was 60. Then the preorder price went up to 80. Now it will drop, given that nobody will pay that much for a card that hasn't proven itself to be format defining. (And even then, Luxray X was far far far far far rarer than Mewto Ex is; and most people want Mewtwo EX to...

    Prize Penalty Issue

    The problem is that if that the player is offered a prize penalty but doesn't want to take it, there is nothing else they can offer. Suppose if I was a seedy player, (or a regular player, because i've never seen anyone cheat but I certainly have seen lots of prize penalties given for sloppy play...

    Next Destinies Zapdos based 'Donking' deck

    Two ways to go about this post: If you want this deck to stand up to top decks, you'll need major changes. I assume, however, that this is more of a league deck and will judge it as such. Zapdos is good and all but I think you need more of it and more zekrom.I assume your strategy is to use...
