Commenting Etiquette

Be cool. That's all we ask. The writers and editors put a lot of time into bringing you these articles, so show some respect. It's ok to be critical, but please be civil about it. Don't embarrass yourself in front of everyone by making juvenile remarks because you may regret it later. If you have issue with someone, "Get a room." Nobody wants to see your childish back-and-forth banter. Think twice before commenting, use proper grammar, HAVE FUN, and thanks for adding to the conversation!

    Very fun to read, but I think Relicanth got knocked out of the bracket way too early. A single Roseanne’s research and “Grand Swell” can be extremely devastating to your opponent.

    I disagree why Luxray GL Lv.X is not the champion. “Luxray is only good if you have him right when you need him,” can’t you say that about every card on this list. How does Roseanne’s Research the only card that is played in more multiples in every deck lose this argument when your supposed top 2 are basic Pokemon.

    My issue with Crobat is that you need Poke Turn to make it most effective; it’s really not that awesome by itself. It’s only good in combination with other cards.

    Not sure what I would put at the top of the list myself (maybe Uxie), but this was a very entertaining article. :) Cool idea to match cards up against each other like that.

      sooo true adam!
      i would put uxie if i had choice as its a staple in all decks

    Are you kidding me? SP Radar beating Dialga G LV X? Crobat G the best card over Luxray GL LV X? I suppose the rest of it is decent, but you guys are really underestimating Dialga G seeing as both the LV X and regular form lost in the first round to cards they should have beat.

  • J-Wittz

    While fun to read, it is really strange the way everything was matched up against each other. I would have put pokemon and trainers in separate categories, they’re too different to compare. Roseanne’s Research is easily the BCIF because 99% of decks run 4 of them–whist only 50-70% of decks use crobat G.

    • Alex

      Yeah, that makes the most sense. You should have picked best Pokemon, Trainer, and Energy in the format.

    how can claydol not win?

    If used effectivly yes crobat G is a game changer, and a format changer. But there is no bigger format changer than claydol.

    Like adam said crobat G is great, but you need lots of poketurns to really do anything. While claydol makes every deck go round. There would be no speed in pokemon without claydol.

    Sure uxie is speed too, but not to the extent claydol is. You have to have ssu’s to really use uxie.

    And also how did Claydol get two spots in round 2?

  • SMGausch

    I agree with a lot of the match-ups, but cannot agree with Crobabt G as the winner or even making it that far. Roseanne’s also bowed out too early. Rosy and Uxie are basically the only two cards that you can find at least one of each in every deck if not multiples. Crobat G is great in a few, but not used in nearly every deck probably not even half. Also how are so many stadiums in this(like conductive quarry which is flippy and used in 1 deck) and Kingdra with no Flygon or call energy. Great article, but some of this stuff is a little on the obscure side.

    I see Crobat G as an improved PlusPower. I don’t think the flying Pluspower would have made it out of my Round 2. However, I did like the rest of your Final Four (man I can’t wait for March Madness).

    It also seemed like you were inconsistent in how you picked the winner. I think you choose winners in Round 1 by whichever card was more useful or had more versatility. Then it seems like you paired the two against each other. Perhaps it would be better to separate Pokemon and T/S/S when comparing (like J-Wittz mentioned).

    Besides we all know the BCIF is the last prize card you take in a game. Why else would we work so hard to get it?

  • Woodstock

    Yeah, I don’t think that Luxray GL Lv. X should have won, but I don’t agree with the Crobat G pick either.

    In my opinion, the winner should definitely be an engine card (Claydol, Uxie, Roseanne’s Research, Cyrus’s Conspiarcy) because they are the reason decks can be as fast and efficient as they are.

    Either way, reading the first sentence of this article got me thinking of how much controversy was gonna be in the comments, so I had to join the debate!

        Yeah we used that article as the basis for which cards were in the tournament. As far as the actual matchups though, they were all picked by me and my friends. Personally, I was gunning for Uxie, but they all wanted Crobat G. Maybe they were basing their picks off the article, but I don’t think so and really hope not.

  • Gabe

    This article is ridicullous, seriously.
    It seems that OP choose his cards by personal preference, rather than its usefullness.
    Here is a list i’d belive would be more apropriated:
    1- Claydoll (There is absolute no competitive deck without at least one of them, that says enoiuthg for itself)
    2- Uxie (Another insanely strong card witch we see in almost competitive deck, as it not only make your game flow faster, it is also a great atacker as it won’t die if you play it right)
    3- Rosanne’s research and Bebe’s Search (Again you see both in almost every deck)
    4- Azelf (Even though many people are stopping using it, it’s still great to deal with your lvx in the prize and to see what prize you will be getting after killing each pokemon)
    5- Call Energy (Awesome to deal with first turns and against new treats like spirtbomb or the old gastly)
    6- Rare Candy (Present in every Stage 2 decks it can’t be ignored)
    7- Unown G (Awesome for many reasons, and present in almost every deck)
    8- Cyntia’s Felling (Change gamming card, if your in trouble and just lost your active, this card can put you back into the game)
    9- Luxury Ball (Searching for any pokemon without being a supporter)

    Ps. Yes i know i

    And Roseanne’s Research Vs Crobat G isn’t exactly easy.. You say that People use Roseanne’s Research usually to search out Crobat G, but without Roseanne’s, what will you use to get the stupid crobat in your hand? And, thats obviously not Roseanne’s only use o,o

    The top 4 brackets were both Backwards. Claydol and Crobat G Should have won. Uxie is just a supplement to Claydol in most decks.

      Plenty of SP decks and decks like shuppet run no claydol while all decks with claydol usually run uxie.

    Ouch, compeltely disagree with the crobat decision. It flat out shouldn’t have beaten Roseanne’s Research. My top 4 Cards in this order are:

    3. Luxray Lv. X
    4. Dialga G Lv. X

    Pitting unrelated cards against each other isn’t going to determine the best cards. You need to compare trainers against trainers, supporters agaisnt supporters, pokemon against pokemon, etc.

    I’m not a city championship winner, and I don’t always understand the format, but some of these choices were just…..wrong.

    You should not have made unrelated cards duke it out. I barely saw any correlation besides a few effects. What do Garchomp C and Expert Belt have in common? And, how can Luxray Gl Lv.X beat Sp Radar, but not Dialga G?

    Crobat G is not the best card in the format. It only shines when in an Sp deck. Otherwise, it’s just a bench sitting plus power. I would’ve voted for Claydol, Roseanne’s, Uxie or the techs that are in every deck. And Relicanth should have pwned Crobat G, because once Crobat is done, it has no use whatsoever.

    *end rant* It was a cool idea, I hope you do it again with HG/SS. :)
