    PTCGO Shuffling gone awry?

    To be clear, "randomness" in software isn't 100% random. You can get close, but the closer you get the more you sacrifice in terms of speed and performance. Personally, I'm more interested in how PTCGO does coin flips. This could be bias on my part, but it seems like my opponents always get...

    New Forum Suggestions

    When a member is ignored and one of their posts is quoted, the quote disappears as well. This makes some posts look weird without any context. Would it be possible to still display quoted text from ignored members by default?

    Discussion Possible Top 5 XY-On Decks

    Not that I disagree with your list, but we can't prove that your list is correct either at this point in time. Therefore, I'm going to say you're wrong on principal.

    Looking to get back in with a cheap competitive deck

    Three good options right now for cheap deck archetypes: Nightmarch - Loses Mew EX with the upcoming rotation, so it probably isn't going to quite as good after August. Still the current stand-by cheap deck. Raichu XY - Raichu itself is expensive right now, but not as expensive as comparable...

    Playtesting Unreleased Cards

    Personally, whenever I proxy I just put a small slip of paper with the name of the card in the sleeve along with some random card that has no place in the deck. If the card is something new I have the card image/ translation either ready on my phone or printed out and kept off to the side for...

    P!P/Rules Is TPCi Phasing Out Burn Status Condition?

    Maybe? Burn is the weirdest of the special conditions and difficult to describe to younger players, so I can see why they might want to phase it out. That said, Fire still doesn't have a Special energy or a Spirit Link Mega, so we could see a return of it once both of those come out.

    Ancient Origins Pre-Release Promo

    I dunno, I like the art, and the attack has promise, if only for the lulz.

    Expanded Format for Entirety of Houston's Regionals... Expanded Expanding?

    Here's my perspective: I didn't start playing until around Phantom Forces, and didn't invest heavily in pre-XY cards in anticipation of the rotation. I was also planning on being semi-competitive this this season as opposed to playing casually. However, if Regionals are going to force me to...

    Discussion Sceptile-EX Viability

    I think the fears of M Rayquaza are unfounded. Right now Sceptile EX has more potential than M Sceptile EX. Toss in Ariados AOR and Dragalge FLF because why not. Struggling to think of a non-EX attacker to toss in. Plus, keep them on hand for when M Sceptile EX becomes good down the road.

    Discussion Possible Top 5 XY-On Decks

    Consistency is the issue. Double Aqua gets discarded, so you need more attachments in order to attack again, and there are probably better Supporters you could play in a turn rather than attaching a single energy from the discard. If you have had success with a TA Kyogre deck in your...

    Discussion Possible Top 5 XY-On Decks

    Water has zero energy acceleration in the current format (sans Alpha Growth, but that isn't universal). So you need four turns to power up your EX, and either 4 Team Aqua 'mon on the bench, or a Silent Lab in play. That's allot of setup for a OHKO, and probably slower than the meta allows.

    P!P/Rules XY-On Rotation Confirmed for 2016 Season

    They try to average 4 per rotation. Last time was 3, this time is 5. Basically you lose a year's worth of releases every year.

    P!P/Rules XY-On Rotation Confirmed for 2016 Season

    Crushing Hammer isn't nearly as bad now that LTC has been banned. You'll still only statistically lose two energy all game if they run a full playset. But yeah, I'm happy with the rotation. Mew EX is an unfortunate loss. Not for Night March, but for all the other lower-power cards that could...
