Pidgeot was gonna be out sooner or later. The buzz I hear is Crawdaunt EX, which supposedly has a strong combo card in the next set.
I'll expect delta decks to be more common, with more searching cards being thrown out of the window. Then again, it'll be very interesting what cards will be recycled. POR has survived for quite a long time, as has copycat. Me thinks these two may not see the light in the new format.
