    Standard 2017 Standard Grass

    Eh, I might take the whole deck back to the board until I can make it better. What I'm building towards is a newer playgroup (being one of the few players at the local game store) and improving my decks and playing ability as I can. So I was wanting to do more of the 'simple' decks, from what...

    Standard 2017 Standard Grass

    Well reasoned walls of text are always helpful, thanks. :P And like I pointed out at the opening of the OP, I don't actually know what I'm doing. This entire thread is more of an exercise for me to get in the mindset of building a current deck. Nothing top tier but good ideas for why things are...

    Discussion Decks with Potential for After Upcoming Rotation

    It may not be a 'good' replacement but there is Steven, Skyla, and if you are really brave Emergency Receiver still available. I'll grant that you have to set up the play instead of doing it in one turn, but you can still increase the number of Lysander in the deck from 4 to 12 if you need to.

    P!P/Rules Primal Clash-on Confirmed for 2017 Season

    I may not have the experience to weigh in on the conversation here, but if what is on page 1 is true it looks like a good time to experiment with new cards and new strategies. If the top decks are being shaken up it seems like a good time to start crafting decks that can take their place.

    Discussion Anti-Meta Speculation

    So I'm a new player building for the 2017 Standard and want to run an anti-meta idea past people with far more experience in the TCG than I have. What I want to do is build something that can hate on EX Pokemon and counter Trevenant (Break). If there are more threats in the current Meta let me...

    Standard 2017 Standard Grass

    So I haven't played the TCG in about 15 years so be warned that this deck is probably pretty bad. Lets kick things off with the deck list: Pokemon: 26 4 - Chikorita 3 - Bayleef 3 - Meganium (overgrow) 3 - Lotad 2 - Lombre 2 - Ludicolo (captivating rhythm) 2 - Spinarak 2 - Ariados (Poisonous...

    Returning Player from Base Set-era - Getting Started

    Ah. That would explain the discrepancy, sorry. So I shouldn't be buying stuff from before Primal Clash, awesome. Thanks for the info, now to go and start crafting decks etc. e: Well I put together a basic Grass deck that complies with the 2017 Standard and posted it in the Garage. Here's...

    Returning Player from Base Set-era - Getting Started

    So I'm looking over the official link (thanks for that btw) and I'm not seeing Xy-BREAKthrough, XY-BREAKpoint, XY-Fates Collide, Generations, or XY-Steam Siege listed on it. Why would the sets not be listed? So far the progression of the sets has been lateral from XY to Ancient Origins...

    Returning Player from Base Set-era - Getting Started

    Super thanks to bbninjas for the rules link and all. I have been watching a bunch of gameplay (the online game) to get a feel for what is going on and things seem to be different but not so vastly strange that I'm lost. What I still have questions about is the rotation of sets, specifically...

    Returning Player from Base Set-era - Getting Started

    So I'm not sure where to start so I'll just go by what the OP wanted. 1. I'm just getting into the game so I would be looking at starter decks or preconstructed products, nothing too competitive while I relearn the rules and how to actually play the game. It should be noted that the last time...
