\"Pok\u00e9mon<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The introduction of Ancient and Future cards in the ninth generation of the Pok\u00e9mon TCG brought a slew of new tactics and deck setups to the forefront. Entire box deck archetypes have even been built around these concepts and have seen a considerable amount of success in tournament play. The Future Box deck is one such deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like other box decks, the Future Box deck is built around a group of Pok\u00e9mon rather than a single lynchpin upon which the deck hinges. The Miraidon card from Cyber Judge [SV5M] gets the ball rolling with its Peak Acceleration attack which allows the player to attach Energy cards to any of the player’s Future Pok\u00e9mon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through Peak Acceleration, the Iron Hands ex card<\/a> from Future Flash [SV4M] will be powered up before too long. It’s best used to finish off opponents’ Pok\u00e9mon\u2014if its Amp You Very Much attack scores a KO, the player gets to take a bonus Prize card. The presence of Iron Crown ex from the Cyber Judge ex [SV5M] set can make the KO safe through Cobalt Command, its Ability that raises damage output from the player’s Future Pok\u00e9mon against the opponent’s Active Pok\u00e9mon by 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it’s not just about offense. Thanks to the Iron Thorns ex card from Crimson Haze [SV5a], the Future Box deck is no slouch on defense either. Initialization, the Rock\/Electric-type Paradox Pok\u00e9mon’s Ability, negates the Abilities of all of both players’ Pok\u00e9mon with a Rule Box except for those of Future Pok\u00e9mon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The total cost of the cards in a Future Box deck is 6,000 JPY (~US$39).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
