    Rarity distribution in AOR looks more forgiving than past sets

    I can only speak for myself, but the Uncommon and Rares in AOR are more exciting than the EXs.

    Collecting The "Look What I Pulled" & Pull Rates Thread

    Picked up an Elite Trainer box and an AT Malamar 3-pack. Giratina EX 2x Vileplume 2x AT Entei Volcarana RH Regice Regirock Metagross 3x Porygon Z (ffs) I'm more excited about the uncommon pulls (3x Vespiqueen, 2x Unown, Flareon, playset of Whimsicott, etc.) than I am about the rares.

    Is it a good time to build a deck?

    Fall Regional tournaments are using the Expanded format, which means that any card from BW through now is legal for deck construction.

    Sleep Paralysis Issues

    FWIW, I lucid dream. I almost never dream though, so it only happens once or twice a year. However, I wouldn't wish a lucid nightmare on my worst enemies. It sucks. Imagine being stuck in a horror film and futilely trying to escape. Luckily my wife is a light sleeper and can wake me from it...

    'Blue Impact' / 'Red Flash' Japan's XY8 Sets, Next Set Block Titled 'XY: BREAK!'

    I can only imagine the conversations that go on at The Pokemon Laboratory: Developer A: [Hey, wouldn't it be cool if we introduced some new card interaction in Set X?] Developer B: [That sounds awesome! Let's start working on that now!] Corporate: [Base an entire deck archetype around it for...

    Crann's 2015-2016 Season

    General The Totally Random Interesting Facts Thread

    Microsoft's latest OS is called Windows 10 because there are about 4000 instances where programs (including their own kernel) look for an OS starting with "Windows 9" intending to look for Windows 95 or 98. They also couldn't call it Windows One to align with their other products (Xbox One...

    Discussion So Expanded is a thing - What's your play?

    I actually rebuilt my Heatmor deck for a janky unlimited tournament at the end of the month. Format is common, uncommon, and basic Energy only, so I figure even if I only flip Fire Energy at 50% I should still get OHKOs.

    'Blue Impact' / 'Red Flash' Japan's XY8 Sets, Next Set Block Titled 'XY: BREAK!'

    This. I could go on about how late BW sets ruined the early XY block, or how Expanded for Regionals is only creating a barrier to entry for new players, but that's not here nor there. Back on topic, I'd say they're batting about 300 on Break cards.

    XY8 \'BREAKthrough,\' XY8 English Products

    Nope, that's the whole card, it's just hard to see the attack printed against the FA background. Underneath the right arm is the single [D] energy cost, and below that is the attack text.

    PTCGO The Pokémon TCG Online Troubleshoot Guide

    When did you install? Because it sounds like it is try to do an incremental update, and knowing TPCi they probably don't have anything but the latest version on their servers.

    Professor Application Wait Time?

    My LGS asked me months ago if I could start to organize their leagues, so I applied in early June after they revamped the system. So far I haven't heard anything back, and my app is still pending. Is this pretty typical?

    I'd Like To Be Competitive if I Could

    Short answer: No. Bbninjas did a good job of covering where those decks land in terms of competitive play. If your main priority is to play with your favorite pokemon in tournaments and don't care about winning, then play those decks and enjoy yourself. If you care more about winning and making...
