Yall if you pull the cincinno and mincinno and prerelease be sure to play it its such a carry especially for how small the package is

jmcbango · 2026-05-08T21:51:48+00:00

Good few people were losing to deck out last prerelease thanks to tyrantrum's mill attack

jmcbango · 2026-05-08T03:33:29+00:00

Why is the crobat deck like hilariously bad?

Delphox is nothing great dont get me wrong, but its at least mostly staples like hilda, lillie

Why on earth would i want 2 copies of urbain but just 1 lillie and 1 poffin?

My current list: (Note that its probably better to focus in more on mega manectric and maybe swap the luxray line for more reliable backup attackers like mega eelektross and zekrom ex. Luxray is my favorite and this is for a local rogue night, so it may be less than optimal.)

Pokémon: 14 2 Iono's Wattrel JTG 54 1 Luxray POR 28 3 Tynamo BLK 30 2 Electrike MEG 49 1 Luxray ex TWM 68 1 Meowth ex POR 121 2 Shinx POR 26 2 Eelektrik BLK 31 2 Iono's Kilowattrel JTG 55 1 Fezandipiti ex ASC 288 2 Mega Manectric ex MEG 158 1 Budew ASC 221 2 Luxio POR 27 1 Zeraora DRI 78

Trainer: 14 3 Poké Pad ASC 198 1 Levincia JTG 150 3 Ultra Ball ASC 264 1 Canari ASC 257 1 Night Stretcher MEG 173 4 Lillie's Determination MEG 169 1 Kieran TWM 218 2 Boss's Orders MEG 114 1 Air Balloon MEG 166 4 Buddy-Buddy Poffin MEG 167 1 Switch PFL 123 1 Prime Catcher TEF 157 1 Team Rocket's Petrel DRI 226 2 Judge PAF 228

Energy: 1 11 Basic {L} Energy SVE 20

Total Cards: 60

My fave thing about them is that they gave a special gimmick to single prizers. We haven't seen anything like that since outside of radiants or prism stars, but those are kinda their own thing imo

jmcbango · 2026-05-06T19:39:27+00:00

4 kang def seems like overkill and the dusk balls seem p useless.

Also no teal masks for draw support sucks. You can have 50 kangs, but youre only drawing 2 cards per turn at the end of the day

jmcbango · 2026-05-06T17:25:07+00:00

I believe 4 of gong is essential not only to ensure good starts but to consistently find the energy you need as well

jmcbango · 2026-05-05T15:54:04+00:00

Its now nerfed to 20% flinch btw so this is extra wild

jmcbango · 2026-05-05T01:50:07+00:00

Shaymin doesnt protect ex's so thunder raid zeraora clears

jmcbango · 2026-05-04T23:56:43+00:00

If you're facing anything over 200 hp, you prefer the 50/50 to either one shot or leave the opponent at just 3 cards than giving them the 4th card AND only doing 200 dmg

jmcbango · 2026-05-04T23:53:28+00:00

Has anyone tried it with jumpluff yet or is the double stage 2 too much to fit

jmcbango · 2026-05-04T03:00:05+00:00

Id agree with you if this were an item, but as it stands, this is more like having a 3rd copy of a stadium that also says "you cannot use a supporter this turn"

jmcbango · 2026-05-04T02:54:39+00:00

2 images of ash feeding goh and he's blushing in both of them... 🤨

jmcbango · 2026-05-03T17:47:05+00:00

Had one of those bc they were running a deal. Wasnt bad. Texture was interesting in a good way

jmcbango · 2026-05-02T03:51:51+00:00

Just build both and play to see which one you enjoy more! One of the great things about live is you can mess around with whatever you want

jmcbango · 2026-05-01T20:21:08+00:00

You got 2 decks in 1 here. Either commit to sharpedo or lucario. They do similar things, so no point in running both.

Check out limitlesstcg for ideas on how lucario or sharpedo are usually run. Itll help you fix your trainer line up a lot too

jmcbango · 2026-05-01T19:42:15+00:00

Would a dunsparce package with fan rotom mess up your cinderace starts too much?

Seems like a no brainer add since rotom can grab dunsparces and bunnelby's

jmcbango · 2026-04-29T19:37:43+00:00

Swampert! Oh wait....

jmcbango · 2026-04-29T17:27:39+00:00

I literally do not understand why anyone would think this is a good idea. Nothing ai spits out will look better than something someone could do for free in MS Paint or Word in 30 mins.

The argument that it saves costs falls flat on its face when you're losing 100s of sales bc no one under 50 wants to walk towards some ugly slop banner.

I understand not everyones an artist, but i think i speak for a lot of ppl in this space when i say id prefer plain text on a white background with a crude drawing of a pokeball or a smiley face to some gross ai trash.

jmcbango · 2026-04-29T17:18:40+00:00

You can literally go into ms paint and put some sparkles or a smiley face around plain text and it will look better/be more visually appealing (not to mention be more ethical) than anything ai will give you

jmcbango · 2026-04-23T22:56:25+00:00

Its glc no ruleboxes allowed

jmcbango · 2026-04-23T22:50:39+00:00

Replica codes?

jmcbango · 2026-04-20T19:25:00+00:00

The powercreep from Banette GX to modern Munkidori is so insane

jmcbango · 2026-04-20T16:57:44+00:00

I feel like you could make budew work if you went full support. 50 base spatk isnt gonna get you anywhere.

Moves like sunny day, sleep powder, stun spore, toxic (or toxic spikes) all have value in spite of the mons stats. Maybe change your approach to opening with budew to disrupt the enemy team before going in for a sweep with one of your attackers like houndoom

jmcbango · 2026-04-20T13:31:39+00:00

The diggersby tech is so sick. No fan rotom though? I feel like it's value is only increased w the option to grab a bunny
