Correct. The EX sets have not been legal for two years iirc, and the earlier Diamond & Pearl sets have rotated as well.

Well boo. That sucks... Oh well.

Thanks for the info! Much appreciated.

Off the top of my head. There are more, but that's what I can think of right now that will allow you to build a decent deck. Some decks run more copies of those, some run less, but it's pretty much personal preference and style from there.

that only leaves room for 15 other cards though...

Ha, oh, not every deck runs that many of each of those cards! For instance, in an SP deck there's no cause to run Rare Candies; instead you run a Cyrus Engine. Those are just some general things that will give you a pool of cards that will allow you to build a competitive deck.

dialga g x and scizor prime good combo or big mistake

dialga g x and scizor prime good combo or big mistake

Eh... to be honest, I've thought about it. However, it seems to me that Scizor Prime, while theoretically a good counter to a lot of decks, doesn't actually hold up in actual play.

Scizor is a useless card more often than not, and there are better options to play with Dialga G, such as Garchomp C. That's not to say that it's a terrible idea, it's just not as good as it sounds.

Not sure if this'd be the right place, but...

What would the approximate value of Machamp Prime be? Just got it in a booster draft today.

On ebay it appears to sell for around $15

Never trust eBay for pricing.

[Politoed666]

Well, in this case you can trust eBay. Machamp Prime is, in fact, worth about $15. :]

I was actually looking at SOLD auctions, which means people were actually buying them... and there were quite a few of them sold at that price

Yeah, I know the card you're talking about... those were HeartGold & SoulSilver packs. Check it again, would you? That's a large error, and I can't say I've heard of it. A picture would be GREATLY appreciated.

I just put a picture on my profile go see it there.
