    SR Rayquaza. Over Hyped and Over Priced?

    Sorry, the statistician in me wants to disagree with these odds. Figuring 3 EXs average per NXD box, and 6 possible EXs, the odds of getting a Mewtwo EX sound on par with one card in two boxes. (1/72 packs) = Mewtwo EX odds of pack pull (NXD) Figuring 1 Secret Rare in two boxes (I believe...

    (1) 'Dragon Vault' Blister Pack Revealed! [8/31]

    My hope is for the Ribbon-foil that has been classic to the BW series. Even though RH is kinda nice, the other style is the better one by far. --- --- --- --- --- Also, here's another vote for equal rarity of the cards. Much as I enjoy the artwork for the Dragonite-line, I'd not...

    (1) Trainer Cards Colress and Poison Hypnotic Beam Revealed from 'Plasma Gale' [9/1]

    Wait a moment, I thought we weren't using PONT in order to slow down the format. What's this about an easy 8-card shuffle-draw, max 10? This *might* answer the question on which supporters to use--as for me, 4-N, 4-Juniper, 4-Colress. Done. I'm gone for only a short bit, and this is what...

    (1) Fall 2012 Tin Promo Scans, Scolipede Reprint from DE Blisters [8/19]

    My goodness, I love these things! However, due to the tin contents, I will most probably not be buying any of the tins (unless the promo singles cost $8+. Then, I may reconsider). Before this, I had pulled 2 Mewtwos, 1 Darkrai, and zip on Rayquaza. Good thing I traded that Mewtwo when I had...

    Other Returning Gimmicks (LV. X, Star, etc)

    What I would really love to see again would be Dual-Types in general (especially reverse holos of those). Not only were two-typed Pokemon fun to use, the two shades on a card always impressed me (which is one reason why I enjoyed the Legend cards, hard to use though they were). I would like to...

    Pokemon The most iconic music from a pokemon game!

    Iconic? Of the ones that have come to mind, I think the Evolution theme suits. The music that I like, though: (Anime): Team Rocket's Motto (Jessie & James) Sapphire: Team Aqua Theme (not battle) Emerald: Battle Frontier--VS the Brains D/P/Pl: Final Battle (w/Cynthia) HGSS: Final Battle...

    Jumpluff (DRX # 3) {8/13/12}

    Jumpluff?! Wait, I don't see "Mass Attack" printed on this one. Never mind--starting with my hopes down already. [Quick note of similarities between HGSS and DRX Jumpluffs:] --Name and Stage (of course) --{G}-type --90 HP --Fire Weakness --Water Resistance --Free Retreat --Attacks requiring...

    Pokemon Your Very First Shiny? What Did You Think, And How Did You React?

    RE: Your very first shiny! My first was an Abra in Diamond Version, and I had no idea, either (only a slight bit paler than non-shiny). I caught it in an Ultra Ball, too! From there, I became addicted to the shiny Pokemon.

    (1) Now Streaming: Worlds Masters Division Finals for TCG and VG! [8/12]

    Oh, I am so disheartened by my internet. It cannot keep up with streaming at all, and anytime I want it to catch up, I have to load an ad... I will have to wait until they post the entire video (of both TCG and VG) instead of trying (and failing) to stream live. TT^TT

    Should TPCi sell precons in lieu of some of the box sets?

    Long story short, I'd rather have the special sets (though would prefer them with the newest expansion). I don't know, if they did a special pre-con, I think they would have to make a new set symbol for those cards, as opposed to letting the cards keep their original set number (like the...

    Gothitelle (DRX # 57) {8/09/12}

    Hmmm... This reminds of that "Strip Bare" Sharpedo from Triumphant. Using one way of several to calculate the chance for Doom Decree's success (and sorry, I may have picked the harder way to solve for this): Of course you fall within the 100% for the first attempt of the flips. (1st try)...

    money for a kid

    Oh! Another way to play the game with minimal investment is to test the deck *before* you make it. You don't have to have the cards to try out a deck--use proxy cards in place of the ones you don't have, and play the deck that way! Right now, I'm trying to figure out if I've saved myself from...

    Kyurogre Bench Hits B/W-on

    Sorry, no Ampharos (as previously mentioned). Darkrai/Hydreigon likes to attach energies from the discard to the bench, as does Eels--Ampharos only hurts if the energy comes from the hand. If that restriction weren't there, I'd use Ampharos. If Blastoise (Rain Dance) were available, I'd...

    money for a kid

    As to how I afford the game... I'm kinda wondering that, myself, what with college and everything Once in a blue moon, I buy singles to catch up on what I'm missing. More often than not, though, I buy sealed packs and trade to get what I need (more of the second due to its reliability)...

    (1) New 'Dragon Vault Box' Release in October [8/6]

    Here's another hoping that this IS the "Dragon Selection" set. I'm also going to try as hard as I can to find a use for Latias (and maybe Latios, but I doubt it).
