Notes & Combos

After claiming that I didn't see the appeal behind Gira-Darkrai last season, this time I mostly experimented with them because as a free-to-player I did not find many of the new cards yet. Despite the efforts of the developers, the classic version that dominated the meta last season still works perfectly well. I ended up crossing the finish line with this Oricorio variant, which seems to have something to say for itself. If you do run this version, do not use double energy because you need Darkrai to be reliable. Oricorio simply serves as a shield while you set up, especially to have a better chance of winning the ditto.

Cyrus and Sabrina are the most broken cards in the game, and imo should be limited or, in Cyrus's case, even banned. Most people run one copy of each, but run two if you don't feel like you're missing out too much on other utility cards.
