Marathon Watching, Expanded in Five Points, Lucario-GX, and Obligatory Bees “Going into Dallas Regionals, we’re playing the only major Expanded event of the BLW–CEC block, and what makes it even more peculiar is that this will be the first major since the recent ban list has taken effect. For the first time since City Championships were removed from the tournament circuit in favor of League Cups, we saw Marathons this holiday season. Places like Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, New Jersey, Oklahoma, and more hosted consecutive days of League Cups, mostly keeping to a single format. As fellow writer Alex Schemanske talked about in his article, we saw rapidly evolving metagames…
Alolan Exeggutor, Yveltal BREAK, and Lucario-GX/Omastar on Display for Daytona “The above list was piloted to a 28th place finish at the Toronto Regional Championships by my good pal Franklin Percic. When I first read that Alolan Exeggutor months back, I immediately thought it had potential in Expanded, and was beyond hyped to see Frank find success with the deck. The goal of the deck is to get three of your Exeggcute PLF into the discard pile with one Alolan Exeggutor in play and a Double Dragon Energy attached. Pulling the Exeggcutes into your hand with their Propagation Abilities allows you to then discard all three for a whopping 180…
PikaRom/Lightning Support and Lucario/Buzzwole for Toronto Regionals (BLW–TEU Expanded) “Expanded is a great example of how large the power creep has been in the last six or so years. Pikarom is the epitome of this. In Expanded, it’s not even close to unreasonable to hit a Turn 2 Tag Bolt-GX for 3–4 Prize cards. There aren’t many decks that can come back from that big of a turn. This is the list that I’ve been messing around with recently and I believe it to be very strong. 1 Xurkitree-GX The only reason I decided to include a copy of this is because it can singlehandedly beat any Night…
One-Fish/Two-Fish, the Renegade Rancher, and Texas Ranger for Dallas Regionals “So will this new card cause a wave (pun intended) of influence and make Archie’s Blastoise immediately better and a more powerful archetype? I believe the answer is no. The card is good—don’t get me wrong—but it’s still not super easy to get out and the Archie’s issue was never “lack of access” to a powerful attacker. Wishiwashi-GX, Articuno ROS 17, Volcanion {*}, Kingdra-GX, and Keldeo-EX are already an impressive arsenal for the deck. Magikarp & Wailord-GX hits some nice numbers with the 5-Energy cost, namely 180 to OHKO most Basic EXs and GXs, and a Choice Band allows it…
Looking at Trevenant BREAK, Lucario-GX, and Primal Groudon for Dallas Expanded, Plus News “Trevenant is in a bit of an odd choice. Item Lock is a reasonable approach to much of what Expanded has to offer in terms of threats, and Archie’s Blastoise—an ugly specter of a matchup—has checked back out of the carousel of Expanded viability. The bad news is that there’s nothing revolutionary to offer for the Zoroark matchups: your reliance on Item Lock to offset their advantages and Faba/Enhanced Hammer to neutralize the attacking threat is as pronounced as ever. I’m of the persuasion that you have the ability to deal with control as a concept, but, admittedly, it’s as…
If this Pokémon senses a strong emotion, it will run away as fast as it can. It prefers areas without people. (Hatenna)
Rising Fist (Furious Fists) Preview and 2014–2015 Format Predictions “Rising Fist Highlights 2014-2015 Season Format Predictions Early Favorites for PLS-on Lucario/Mewtwo Greninja/Miltank Dragonite-EX Conclusion Rising Fist (English: Furious Fists) looks to be one of the best sets in terms of overall playability that we have seen in a long time. I’m actually really tempted to buy a box of this set because of how many playable cards there are. When doing set highlights, I don’t touch on every card, but I do try to get detailed enough to include most cards that I feel could fit into tier 1 or tier 2 decks. It’s also very important to me that…
It’s so strong that it can knock out some opponents in a single hit, but it also may forget what it’s battling midfight. (Cramorant)
