I never comment on these things, but this card is really neat.

Okay, so it's a stadium that acts like a rare candy.
Play one of these things, and you can evolve a Basic all the way to a Stage 2 in one turn. Sick.
It works amazingly well in decks like Kingdra, Machamp, and Rampardos, adding to their speed.

Overall, I'd give the card an 8/10.
It's a good card, but it only really helps out 3-4 decks; not a staple card by any means, but it's very good at what it does.
 
This card is Claydol's best friend. You start with Baltoy and this with a Claydol in your hand (providing you go second) and you've already begun Cosmic Powering.

SP decks it is worthless. They are all basic.

Most of the big hitters (Machamp, Rampardos, Kingdra) love this card.

6/10 (it can be used against you (Especially Machamp))
 
A double-edged sword if there ever was one. It's a good card, but I'm sure not going to let my opponent get his pokes up any faster. IMO, it's just as good as it is bad, therefore perfectly balanced. An average card deserves an average score: 5/10.
 
Best if you're running Stage 2's. Worst if your opponent's running Kingdra or Dusknoir. All in all, though, I love this card.

8.7/10
 
This is why you run other stadiums so you use it only one YOUR turn and replace it with a different stadium.
But besides that, it's okay, I'll probably end up using it for a deck or two.
6.2/10
 
A brilliant card, adding to the speed of non-basic decks (which is most decks).

However, it is NOT a donk card - More a recovery card. To donk without Candy using this you'd need a Basic, Stage 1, Stage 2 and this. With rare Candy you just need basic, Stage 2 and the Candy. But it is brilliant for 1 energy attackers like Kingdra or Rampardos to come out of nowhere. In my opinion, in anything with a Lv X as a main attacker, this is where it really shines, as relying on a Level X is usually slow and this speeds it up a turn. Regular Stage 2 decks like Kingdra for example, ALREADY have Rare Candy to speed it up.

HOWEVER...

As I've said, apart from AMU and Regigigas, there aren't many all-basic decks in the format. The problem? This is going to help your opponent JUST as much as you. Not to mention if your opponent is running it (which could be likely next format... we'll see) it will be a dead draw late-game (when you have enough dead draws already) so you don't want to play too many.

A rating? Your face out of 10. Just kidding.
 
a decent card, but it does require a different pokemon line in the player's deck. Don't be a newb a run a 4-1-4 line and expect for it to work well. Also, i suggest pokeradars if you up the line to a 4-3-4 or a 4-4-4.

overall: 6.5-10
 
Hey people! Check the name. BROKEN Time Space.
It is. Definitely.

You can have a full deck setup in 2-3 turns if you use this card. Then just drop it for anotther stadium!

10/10
 
This card works wonders in Stage 1 decks however you can't search your deck for what you're evolving with BTS cause it has to be in your hand like with Rare Candy. I'm getting ready to test this card out in my Kingdra/Rampardos deck which is almost done.

All in all, great card...

I'd like to add that this is entirely speculation, as I haven't actually tested it yet. I can see it being very widely used next format. With Claydol (HOPEFULLY) out of the picture, we'll need all the speed we can get.
 
7/10 Doesn't help "Donk" decks as much as one would think. Only works with pokes that were played that turn. So unless you have the entire line and "Broken Time Space" in your starting hand, plus energy, plus a way to switch your active out it won't help you with your turn one "Donk". This thing will shine late game thought, with "NM", Luxury Ball, "Pokemon Rescue" and such. Becomes very easy to restore your main attacker.
 
6.5/10 - it's a great card in the hands of a skilled player, just like machamp LV.X. they both can be devastating to your opponent, but both can turn against you and quckly destroy you also.
 
I thought and I think most thought that it would be totally broken, and with fitting fashion that is the name it got. However, after talking about it, it isn't as good as you would think in the current format as there are usually better choices for stadiums. In modified I would give it 6.5/10.

However, in unlimited the thing is sick, completely and utter BROKEN!! There are a few cards in unlimited that few would doubt are 10/10 or 11/10 like Professor Oak. This is with them for Unlimited. It makes a few decks that were not possible now completely possible. :thumb:

and switch but the broken-time-space does work well with other decks like gallade and gardivoir as well:redface::redface:

I would'nt use this too much. But it's okay against Giratina or other. The idea is cool, but it makes it alot worse that your opponent can use it.
