Airride Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 The new Special Energies are neat. Herb Energy is obviously worse than STRONK energy, but it;s still decent. No real reason NOT to play them... I could See Poli decks cropping up. 60 and 30 snipe for free is nothing to sneeze at, even if It's hard to pull off. I expect to see Seismitoad-EX abuse decks here and there. Item lock is good, and 130 is good, if you can get mons that can negate that damage...(Such as Lopunny, which returns itself to the hand, irrc, removing the damage) Aurorus is actually really cool. Defender for everything with a Water on it is damn good. Dedenne I could see has an Yveltal pseudo-counter. It's got the same first attack as Dragons Exalted Emolga, and its second attack can easily do 80-120 damage to Yveltal. Raichu is better, of course, but its still not bad. Hypno is...interesting. Making the opponent waste supporters is neat, but it's a Stage 1 Attack, so eh. Machamp is Muscle band for all Fightings. That's pretty good. Already stated my opinions on Lucs in their thread. Landorus is the best Fighting acceleration we got. It's...mediocre. Tyrantrum is damned funny. 150 to anything with a special Energy for 2 (F and a DCE)? Yes, PLEASE. Hawlucha...is. 60 for 1 to EXs is awesome, but it gets OHKOd back by...everything. I can see poison abuse decks with Drapion, Dragalge, and Toxicroak EX. Maybe. Klefki's cool. Makes Dark decks even worse Vs Fairy. Dragonite is okay. GGL is a pretty "Meh" cost, and discarding 1 isn't very favorable, but it does 2HKO everything (0 for 160 or less, 1 for 170-200, 2 for 210-240, and we don't have anything above that ATM), so... Flygon is really cool. 70 for FGC and 30 heal to everything with Energy is nice, and with Pofessor's Letter and Energy Search, you can load your ahnd with energy to dump on evberything. I'ma make a deck around it. Noivern's cool, 'cause it has a 50/50 shot of being hit, and does 30 spread to all the opponent's mons. Could have been cheaper, though... Focus Sash makes all Fighting mons take at least two hits. That's cool. Fossil researcher is AMAZING. Not having to rely of the dumb fossils to get out the Fossil Pokemon is great, and both Aurorus and Tyrantrum are pretty good. Battle Reporter is Copycat. Very nice, fits my playstyle (Empty my hand, then Draw with a supporter) Training Stadium makes Evolved Mons beefier, whcih is very appreciated, and can get rid of opposing stadiums. Fighting Stadium is Machamp. Very cool. Mountain Ring is Mr.Mime. Very cool as well. Overall, set it neat, but nothing too game changing. If we get something to make Lucario Faster, then we'll be in for some trouble, but for now, It's all just...alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppeli Gyro Supreme Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Mega Heracross looks horrid, but Heracross EX might be pretty decent when partnered with Virizion. Magmortar/Electivire could be a fun deck, though not really competitive. Blaziken alongside Blacksmith/Emboar is potentially devastating, though you would have to decide between your stage 2's in that deck. The fact that it doesn't do straight damage does hurt it, though. You would need virbank poison damage to hit any magical numbers. Poliwrath/toeddecks also seem fun. Goo Punch of Seismetoad EX seems interesting, but its second attack is... meh. Guess it could be used to power up Outrage, etc? Clawitzer has potential for shenanigans in being able to switch places, but not too sure how to utilize that. Dedenne falls just short of being able to be a good anti-Yveltal card. Hypno's first attack is waaaaaaay situational... And it looks like it would let you look at your opponent's deck sometimes? Gothitelle has potential to make for a weird deck that uses multiple stadiums? Hitmons are very disappointing =[ Landorus is alright, I guess. Better than nothing for Fighting acceleration? Regular Hawlucha is just plain horrible in every way. Not sure of what to think of Dragonite EX. Doesn't seem very good. I wish Fossil Researcher could somehow work for Fossils in general... Fighting Stadium is potent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
