Help Me I Lost the Timeline

(The following deck list is for the Standard format after the release of Temporal Forces, but is labeled as no format as this site doesn't consider the new set to be in Standard until it's official legality in April)

Anyways, one the count of three, let's all say it together, 1, 2, 3:

✨Good riddance Battle VIP Pass (Fusion Strike)

Lost Zone Box did also lose a few other cards, such as Escape Rope (Battle Styles) , solved by switch and Iron Bundle, and Klara (Chilling Reign)

(The following deck list is for the Standard format after the release of Temporal Forces, but is labeled as no format as this site doesn't consider the new set to be in Standard until it's official legality in April)

Anyways, one the count of three, let's all say it together, 1, 2, 3:

✨Good riddance Battle VIP Pass (Fusion Strike)

Lost Zone Box did also lose a few other cards, such as Escape Rope (Battle Styles) , solved by switch and Iron Bundle, and Klara (Chilling Reign) which, unfortunately, kills the hopes and dreams of SableZard players such as myself. Therefore, it seems like everyone in Japan is over there building Paradox Lost Box, or ParaBox as I've been calling it (though I don't think anyone else calls it that).

Rather than focusing on effective single prizers, this deck instead aims to stay ahead with cards like Roaring Moon (to cope with huge HP pokemon like Charizard without the awkwardness of Supereffective Glasses (Astral Radiance) ) and Iron Hands (So you're set up so I can only take one prize card. It'd be a shame...). ParaBox previously didn't run psychic energies, but with it's old pal Tropius rotating out we're no longer running grass energies. So, our old friend Sableye is back. I'm only running one due to the popularity of Jirachi right now, but you could get away with more. 

As for what we gained with rotation, there's our new buddy-buddy, Buddy-Buddy Poffin, a good old buddy-buddy to all (you're welcome) to replace Battle VIP Pass, Escape Board to replace Beach Court (Scarlet & Violet) (which, technically didn't rotate out, it's just outclassed), and Prime Catcher (...do I even need to explain?)

Personally, I'm looking forward to the new format, even if it's 20% Charizard ex (Obsidian Flames) . I'm still undecided on whether or not I'll be playing this or Chien-Pao ex (Paldea Evolved) , but hopefully you all have found things you want to try with the new set.

After that long, mostly unneccessary rant, any feedback is welcome :)
