    SM10a \'GG End\' Mini-Set in April

    Holy moly the fire support. Heatran would have synergy with tag team Charizard. Combine that with Welder and Charizard and Reshiram, fire will be a force to be reckoned with

    Discussion Cynthia vs. Marshadow Let Loose - How to approach this choice?

    Is it really a no-brainer though? On average, if you do 1 play, you can expect that you will not be able to do "the other play" (IE. If you play Cynthia, you are likely not to find a Marshadow and if you play Marshadow you are not likely to find a Cynthia). I did some searching to find the math...

    Discussion Cynthia vs. Marshadow Let Loose - How to approach this choice?

    I find myself thinking about the scenario about whether to recycle my own hand or to disrupt the opponent's hand a lot so I wanted to see what more seasoned players have to say. The two extreme situations usually go like this: Situation 1 - The ideal start. It's turn 1 and you're going first...

    Discussion Acerola or Max Potion for PikaRom

    My vote is for Acerola. I think if you play Max potion, IMO you necessarily need a way to grab energy from your discard pile. Most deck lists run 1 Tapu Koko Prism Star, but that's only 2 energies. I think a realistic scenario is that you have a damaged Pikarom that has used its GX attack and...

    @DorilMagefont won 2-1 against @Daniel Perrelli Dead draws were the name of this set. I dead drawed first game and my opponent dead drawed third game. Ug. GGs though!

    Standard Lost March Emolga

    I've been wondering why people have dropped emolga in tournaments and you might have just explained why (Alolan Muk)

    Standard Lost March Emolga

    Most decklists run 4 energy for Jumpluff (either 4 grass or 3 grass + 1 super boost energy prism star) with no energy recycling, so even wasting 1 energy (Skiploom will send that energy to the lost zone) is a lot. 10 HP can make a difference: I learned this the hard way playing against...

    Standard Lost March Emolga

    I've been playing the same deck (I think it's the one from this Pokebeach article: https://www.pokebeach.com/2019/02/simply-the-best). I don't have an idea fully formulated plan yet, but I've noticed some problems with consistency. Just some thoughts: The Emolga/Pokemon communication engine is...

    Help Buying Core Cards

    My vote is if you want to play now, buy now. I just started and my tips for being thrifty: -Buy singles when possible. I bought both Team Up theme decks when Best Buy had them slightly on sale and the price of Cynthia dropped. I realized that the price of singles will always follow the sealed...

    Discussion Pikachu & Zekrom - Gimmicky or Meta-Defining?

    Agreed. I think this is really interesting, because playing as Pikarom, there are times when I feel like I'm a wannabie Zapdos/Jirachi deck (bad draws and/or it's better to get a Zapdos online and start taking prize cards immediately), but other times when I'm glad I'm Pikarom (when they're...

    Discussion Lost March decks, too late to start?

    Does the rise of Zapdos Jirachi oppress Lost March? Zapdos's 80 damage for 1 energy seems like a nightmare for Lost March.

    Discussion Pikachu & Zekrom - Gimmicky or Meta-Defining?

    I see -- thanks for both your replies! I guess for my part I just don't really "enjoy" this style of play. I feel like I've refined my deck enough that it's just total RNG whether I draw the tools for T1/T2 Full Blitz and that just "doesn't make me feel good" so to speak. I'm definitely not the...

    'Unbroken Bonds,' May's English SM10 Set!

    Welder seems absolutely bonkers. I wonder what new decks it might enable. The Charizard Team Up already self-accelerates energy and unfortunately deals damage to itself, so it seems like it doesn't need it.

    Help The "What Should I Buy?" Thread

    New player that plays online a lot, considering on getting into the physical card scene. I think I found the League in my area that plays the most: any tips on how to jump into the scene? Should I just attend a League night for fun and see how it goes? I know I need damage counters, etc. --...

    Discussion Pikachu & Zekrom - Gimmicky or Meta-Defining?

    I know Pikarom has been dominant in the Japanese meta, but is everyone thinking the same will be true once Team Up is tournament legal internationally? I've been playing a deck on the online game and it feels inconsistent/gimmicky to me: either I set up a T1/T2 Full Blitz, or I lose the game...
