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

    Hey, I've been trying to figure something out here... What's the rarity on an uncommon in a given set? For example, if there are 20 uncommons s in a set, and only one good one... Will my odds of pulling the good card in a single pack be 1082/6840 if I exclude the Reverse holo? I get this number...

    Just started a group conversation with everyone who said they wanted to test... Except for @MaD_DoG and @poke4trade -- I couldn't send an invite you you for some reason. Likely, your privacy settings are too high.

    Blog The Game Within the Game: Making the Most of Your Time Between Rounds

    How do your articles just keep becoming better and better? o_O Conveniently, this problem was exactly what I experienced last year at Nats. I swear I just turned to sulking in a corner after an 0-4 run with Trevenant (before it was cool). Now my mind and heart is set. I'll just haul a Gamecube...

    Wow, I love the dedication being shown here! Anyways, I appear to be a bit crunched on time right now thanks to finals, but I'll go full out battling mode next week. I think I'll now be able to build every deck in the upper tiers but those with a Jolteon-EX.

    I haven't seen many results with it so far... probably because it isn't very efficient at beating NM, Greninja, and Trevenant. I orginally had Zygarde on here but I moved it to the last tier because I had don't think I had any solid reason to put it on the list rather than it is a good deck in...

    The thing is with mewtwo is that it loses really hard to Night march thanks to pumpkaboo. You can't even rely on Yveltal to 1 shot every Night Marcher because of fighting fury belt. And then there is trevenant.

    Entei usage has gone dramatically down since the rise of greninja and trevenant, which is very understandable as they are 1) weak to water and 2) very item reliant. If the second problem could be solved, the deck might make it somewhere huge.

    The only problem with PTCGO is the work it can take to find an actual player. If you can battle only good players via friend battles, then its a pretty good testing method.

    I just started a post on the forum about it... was there a different one?

    I actually just remembered this a bit of time ago and knew it was only a matter of time before I'd be reminded to put it on the list. ;) I still am surprised to see M Sceptile-EX not become rampantly used... Given that I haven't played it, I'm not sure what it loses to.

    Nationals is 20 days away, folks, and some of us just aren't ready yet! Some of us just don't have enough time/mobility/friends to make IRL testing groups. Thus, I find this could be a kind of neat replacement Basically, the core of a testing group is to have good opponents to play against so...

    Eh, I'll just go to Nationals, win the whole thing, and go to worlds :) In all seriousness though, one of the hardest things to do is create a testing group without much contact with leagues. Maybe I could post a random request on facebook to see if any people want to test together... Or maybe...

    Japan's XY11: 'Explosive Fighter / Cruel Traitor', CP5: 'Mythical / Legendary Dream Holo Collection'

    What a scrub. The Rainbow Road player has a 1-prize Jirachi on bench and instead promotes his 2-prize Volcanion-EX as a meat shield in the final turns of the game. The guy doesn't even keep track of there being 9 NMers in the discard pile

    Dragonite-EX and ninja Boy will be legal at the same time.... woah If only someone was making an online engine that could test cards that weren't even out yet without printing them :/

    Japan's XY11: 'Explosive Fighter / Cruel Traitor', CP5: 'Mythical / Legendary Dream Holo Collection'

    Xerneas T2 Geomancy > Ninja Boy > Bring Gardevoir-EX out + Mega evolve. This card probably will have a greater effect IF night march is rotated out.

    Blog Xerneas: Life in the Standard Format and Sample Fairy Decklists

    I remember my days of playing fairies. It was pretty good when you had Florges EX and Aromatisse working in conjunction to dish out 140 damage and bench snipe 30 to make perfect 170 KO's. Now you have night march, which makes perfect 240 damage KO's, in 2 turns. *sign* But really, I believe...
