Is this any good? Tell me anything I should change or add!

Hey!

Like the title says. Is it ok to self promote? I love building decks but I don't really have that many viewers to discuss decks with. Thanks!

Hello, I’ve been testing this deck and I enjoy playing it, but I need help with optimizing trainer cards. Any advice helps :) (link below too)

https://pokemoncard.io/deck/rapid-strike-lugia-48401

I built this Deck with the cards I managed to collect on PTCGO, but it's not legal for Standard Format, can someone tell me why? Here is my Deck List, but note I am still missing some cards, so I filled it up with what I had.

1 Oranguru 4 Skwovet 4 Greedent 1 Swablu 1 Altaria 2 Wimpod 2 Golisopod 2 Galarian Corsola 2 Galarian Cursola 1 Oricorio GX 1 Eldegoss V

4 Quick Ball 4 Lillie's Poké Doll 3 Pokémon Communication 4 Great Ball 1 Wondrous Labyrinth 1 Boss's Orders 2 Cynthia 4 Professor's Research 1 Ingo & Emmet 3 Hop 1 Marnie 2 Bird Catcher 2 Air Balloon

4 Triple Acceleration Energy 3 Twin Energy

EDIT: Removed Cynthia, it's legal now

My Friend is making a Grass Deck and he wants to know if he should do a Expanded or, Standard Deck. Thanks!

Hi all, I recently ran across a gyarados deck that featured gyarados, magikarp, alolan vulpix, and about 35 energies. The deck only featured a variety of about 5 trainers and I thought it would be a perfect deck for my five year old since he can't read all the trainer cards yet and needs something a little more simple. Unfortunately it has rotated out and I was just wondering if anyone has a similar idea/deck that is fun and easy to play for a younger player. Thanks so much

I have been working on 2 mega rayquaza lists since they can ohko pikarom. since i can't seem to find the issues, i came to ask for help.

1 Dragonite-EX EVO , 3 Rayquaza-EX ROS , 4 Shaymin-EX ROS, 3 M Rayquaza-EX ROS, 1 Mr. Mime GEN, Sudowoodo GRI, 3 Hoopa-EX AOR, 3 Trainers' Mail ROS, 1 Lysandre AOR , 4 Rayquaza Spirit Link ROS, 2 Super Rod BKT, Olympia GEN,
3 Professor Sycamore BKP, 4 Ultra Ball SUM, 1 Skyla BKTm, 1 Colress PLS, 1 N FCO, 4 Sky Field ROS, 2 Float Stone BKT, 4 Mega Turbo ROS, 1 Escape Rope BUS, 4 VS Seeker PHF, 4 Double Colorless Energy SLG, 4 Fire Energy Energy 2

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1 Dragonite-EX EVO, 3 Rayquaza-EX ROS , 4 Shaymin-EX ROS , 3 M Rayquaza-EX ROS, 1 Sudowoodo GRI, 1 Aegislash-EX PHF, 1 Kartana-GX CIN , 1 Magearna-EX STS , 3 Hoopa-EX AOR, 1 Brock's Grit TEU , 4 Trainers' Mail ROS, 1 Lysandre AOR, 3 Rayquaza Spirit Link ROS, 1 Olympia GEN, 3 Professor Sycamore BKP, 4 Ultra Ball SUM, 1 Skyla BKT, 1 Colress PLS, 1 N FCO, 4 Sky Field ROS, 2 Float Stone BKT , 3 Mega Turbo ROS , 1 Escape Rope BUS, 4 VS Seeker PHF , 4 Metal Energy , 4 Double Colorless Energy SLG

I have been spending more time on the fire one, as it has been more successful. with both of them, i have been countered by alolan ninetales. I also played the following in the second deck : Aegislash-EX as a night march counter, Magearna-EX as a alolan muk and muk ttgx counter. Thanks in advance for any help.

So, me and my brother are working on a Zoroark-GX and Mewtwo-GX deck (both shining legends) because he’s too stubborn to play mega rayquaza. Here’s the list. 4-4 zoroark line, 2-2 octillery line, 3 mewtwo-gx, 2 sudowoodo, 3 tapu lele-gx.

3 ultra ball, 4 max elixir, 4 nest ball, 3 lillie, 3 hau, 4 cynthia, 4 sky field

4 dce, 11 psychic energy.

Please comment any helpful changes. Just for the record, this is his list, not mine. Also i hope they don’t mark me as spam like on the last 2 servers.

I have a silly idea for a card game of my own, with eight mana elements (Light, Shadow, Forest, Fire, Water, Spirit, Electric, Wind) and some funky rules. Given the difficulty of balancing game structures I want to ask around about popular playstyles / builds in different popular card games so that I can try to estimate what will be balanced. More importantly though, I want to know what is fun so I can encourage fun with the smaller selection of cards I want to make in order to test my concept.

(My concept started from a bit of an artistic desire to create a Smash Bros card game, but my concept has begun to fascinate me in its own right.)

I've been working on building a consistent Luxray deck pretty much since the card was first shown. Here's what I have so far, and while it will consistently get turn 1 item lock it just lacks other pressure after that. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Shinx UPR 45 x4

Luxio UPR 46 x4

Luxray UPR 47 x3

Luxray Break BKP 47 x2

This deck may, or may not have over, or under 60 cards because I haven't counted it for a while. But it would be extremely helpful if you guys could help me improve this deck. Thank You.
