The Good Stuff in the Pokemon TCG: EX Deoxys Expansion

The cards are here, but what's the big news? The best thing about the EX Deoxys set is that the Rayquaza and Deoxys theme decks have strategy guides for powering 'em up so new players can grab one and start training Pokemon! Make sure you grab the Deoxys theme deck though, it's stronger than the Rayquaza one.
