    TCG Ancient Origins/XY: Launch Kit vs Booster Box vs Trainer Kit

    I would not recommend the Ancient Origins Booster Box, as the only majorly "good" cards in the set (the ones that will be seeing significant meta play) that I can find are Sceptile-EX, M Sceptile-EX, and a bunch of commons, rares, and uncommons, which can be bought for MUCH cheaper. I'd...

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

    You're thinking of the Magby rule: Magby (Neo Genesis): [C]: Sputter 10 All Pokémon Powers stop working until the end of your next turn. "ack in the day Wizards of the Coast ruled that effects had to reside on either the Defending or the Attacking Pokemon. Neo: Genesis Magby's attack...

    TCG Ancient Origins/XY: Launch Kit vs Booster Box vs Trainer Kit

    To get back into the game, I'd recommend buying a Booster Box of Phantom Forces, maybe even two. It should give you a playset of Sycamores, VS Seekers, and the Crobat line, as well as hopefully a Mega Manectric-EX or Secret Rare Dialga-EX. This will give you most of your staples for playing and...

    Discussion Help me do some crazy Card Math of PAIN

    I'd love to see the Heatmor list, I've been trying to make an Ampharos-EX deck that just relies on the first attack for acceleration, or an Entei deck similarly.

    Discussion Most Broken Pokemon Cards

    So your argument is that EXs should be banned, just as Sneasel and Slowking were? I'm very confused.

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

    In Expanded, it could do well with Frozen City and Blastoise, if it's possible to set up Stage 2s without Tropical Beach.

    Discussion Most Broken Pokemon Cards

    Thank you for noting how useful Vibrava can be, it's won me a couple of games (especially against a couple of Garchomp C Lv.X's). Another example of how to do it right is Nidoqueen RR. Nidoran [F] MT had a decent attack for [C] which allowed you to get another Nidoran [F] out, but this was...

    Discussion Most Broken Pokemon Cards

    On vacation, I was bored, so I decided to take some time and make some Pokemon cards, and I decided to try to follow the idea of making every single Pokemon in the evolutionary line relatively playable (not playable on it's own, mind you; just decent cards), and it is incredibly hard making 30...

    To all of you saying that Eske Yoshinob should be fired because of bad artwork on Glalie-EX. here's a list of all cards illustrated by Eske Yoshinob. To give you a quick rundown of all playable cards he illustrated, there is: Cobalion-EX RA Deoxys-EX RA Florges-EX RA Ho-Oh-EX RA Hydreigon-EX RA...

    Discussion Most Broken Pokemon Cards

    I agree w/ everything, except for the filler argument. For Crobat, you've got a Basic with free retreat and a fighting resistance (always good), and a Stage 1 that places 2 damage counters wherever and an attack that does 10 damage to every opponent's Pokemon for [C]. While it's not amazing...

    Discussion Most Broken Pokemon Cards

    Pokemon-EX are not broken as a mechanic, but they are broken due to their implementation into the TCG. Although we've had AMAZING stage-2 cards recently (Empoleon, Shiftry FLF, Blaziken FFI, Blaziken PCL, Garchomp DRX), none of them have seen major tournament success, except for Empoleon. Why is...

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

    Burning actually does something else in the video games...it halves the opponent's physical attack, which means that in a meta of burn-inducers, you need to have a designated "burn" Pokemon to switch in...something that uses Special Attacks rather than Physical, and can deal with 12.5% of its...

    Broken Time Space might be what we need in our format, in order to provide defense against the EXs.
