That's far from true. Properly sleeved, well handled cards can maintain their condition very well, even after extensive play. At worst, your cards may warp a bit, but that happens to just about any foil anyways.. Unless you're planning on having your cards graded after you play them (who would...

RE: PokéBeach Create-A-Card: Aug. 2014 - Delta Species (Results) That's why it's called Brutal Command!

RE: PokéBeach Create-A-Card: Aug. 2014 - Delta Species (Results) For future reference, I'm a little more familiar with the competitive side of the game than many fakers here (as far as I can tell), so the way I balance cards isn't exactly obvious (or even perfectly correct) all the time. The...

Head Noiser is VERY cool! But somehow I don't see it getting too much play... Maybe there's some card I'm not thinking of that it has synergy with, but all I can think of are Mewtwo and Yveltal-EX, and I feel like Muscle band is better for either of those anyways. Good to see that it only works...

RE: PokéBeach Create-A-Card: Aug. 2014 - Delta Species As the subject of a future Create-a-Card Contest, how about new game mechanics? Introduce something completely original, such as a new type of Pokemon (along the lines of Lv.X, ex, EX, Delta, etc.), or perhaps something different entirely...

It would be appropriate to finish a game, or if you were very certain your opponent had no response. Also, I would think you would run at least 8 energy in such a deck (including Strong Energy), so it wouldn't be a majority.

RE: Wanting to Play Again. The rotation is occurring on September 3rd, and only sets from Boundaries Crossed-On will be legal for standard play (note that some tournaments will allow a new format called "Extended", which includes sets from Black and White-On, so always check with the tournament...

Nintales was reprinted as BW promo 66. Thus, it will not be rotating in September.

You simply have to predict what will be popular and tech for that. You can see that, in predicting that Yveltal-EX / Garbodor would be very popular in the past US Nationals, many players opted to play Raichu instead of Garbodor in order to gain an advantage. As it turned out, this made the deck...

Treecko, Torchic, and Mudkip promos? Does that mean that there's going to be regular, non-EX lines for the starters? Or perhaps it's just to promos... or maybe they're bringing back stage 2 EX's! I guess we'll have to wait and find out!

Generally, you can't really make money selling singles from boxes, at least not English ones (don't ask me about foreign boxes). If you're decently lucky, and depending on the set, you might be able to get $30 - $50 USD by selling the ultra rares and playable cards you pull. But after that, the...

There's a slight chance that we'll get Diancie-EX, but no full art (see: Hawlucha-EX), which would be pretty lame. That said, considering Dialga and Aegislash already appear to be regular-art only theme deck cards, I'm pretty hopeful (that is, if it is and EX at all...). Maybe it will actually...

RE: Are These Cards Real or Fake? I don't happen to be an expert on old cards, so take this with a grain of salt, but... I believe that the card is either fake or modified; it is a shadowed card, but has a first edition stamp on it. All first edition base set cards were shadowless (iirc)...

Depends on the deck you're playing and the decks you expect to play against. If you're running, say, Virizion/Genesect, and you expect to play against a lot of Yveltal decks, you tech in Raichu. If expect to be playing against a lot of plasma, you might tech in some Drifblim and enhanced hammer...

I somehow doubt that complete immunity to a type could be just placebo...

Types are definitely real and verifiable. Weaknesses and Resistances, doubling or halving damage respectively, are pretty obviously not made up. That said, changes like turning Pokemon into entirely different types doesn't really have a rational explanation other than retroactive continuity...

RE: Furious Fists Damage Cards As Omahanime described above, there's a pretty good chance of getting absolutely nothing. TPCi's customer support isn't the best. But, again, you may as well give it a shot. Specifically, though, i doubt that they would send you a replacement for a single...
