    Help PTCGO Testing Group for Tournaments

    I'm on PTCGO every day, and would love to get involved. Although, I don't run typical decks, but they are strong and don't lose often.

    Discussion Strange Decks that are Pretty Good.

    I play a tapu koko promo/baby lele/mew/tauros deck. It's so much fun and nobody expects it. It is fun to take 4+ prizes in one turn.

    They used to show every mulligan and it was just a waste of time.

    Help Counters To VikaBulu? (Standard)

    A good strategy is to use high damage fighting pokes that are not weak to leaf pokemon (like Buzzwhole) keep pleny of catchers and Guzmas and keep knocking out the Vikavolts. W/o vikavolt , Tapu Bulu slows way down.

    Donk Deck Ideas for Standard

    Heatmor (Breakpoint) isn't a bad choice for a donk deck, especially when teamed with Volcanion EX. Heatmor can hit for 70 (with one energy, band, and any stadium), and Volcanion (Steam up) can power him up quickly first turn.

    Discussion Is playing the game only online worth it?

    I actually really enjoy playing the online game. Here is why: > Saves $$ - Don't have to buy cards >Never have to wait for a partner - can play anytime I feel like it, and there is always a partner available >Don't have to keep track of cards - online system keeps track of cards for you...

    Discussion Is playing the game only online worth it?

    The PTCGO is a great place to test deck strategies, which saves you from buying cards you don't need. In my experience, there are a LOT of experienced players who are quite good. More often than not, I get a good challenge.

    Standard Yveltal-EX/Zoroark-GX

    While I love Yveltal and Zoroark, I don't see the synergy between the 2 cards. What am I missing?

    Discussion Ho-Oh GX / Dawn Wings Necrozoma

    That is true. If you have 4 ultras, 4 Leles, and 4 kiawes, that ups your chances of a 1st turn Kiawe, but you're right. If you don't hit one first turn, it's going to be an uphill battle.

    Discussion Ho-Oh GX / Dawn Wings Necrozoma

    Yeah, I was thinking about the ability shutting down Necroz's ability, not Ho-oh having weakness to water.

    Discussion Ho-Oh GX / Dawn Wings Necrozoma

    Played against a good deck this weekend. Opponent had Ho-OH GX out first turn and Kiawe'ed him to full power with a Dawn Wings Necrozoma GX on the bench with a float stone. By turn 2 he was hitting be for a consistent 180 (210 with band). Needless to say I didn't last long, but with Field...

    (FUTURE ULP) Dawn Wings Necrozma Deck Help

    It is useful for its ability, if you have an attacker (like Ho-oh EX) that has a high damage attack that "can't use that attack next turn" and needs benched to attack again. Played against someone this weekend who Had Ho-oh ex and Kiawe'd first turn and had a DW Necroz on the bench with a...

    Discussion Dusk Mane Necrozma GX/Magnezone Deck Ideas

    Been trying to put together this combo on PTCGO for a while, but having a hard time getting DM Necrozoma. But definitely should be competitive.

    Standard Silvally Memory Box (NOTE: Decklist Changed TWICE!)

    yes definitely. A few Leles and skylas will get you the Memory tools you need. 4-4-4 means a lot of cards that won't get used.

    Help Do I need Gx's

    Ok, the other option is to buy packs for $4-5 each and hope for the best. After opening 20 packs w/o an EX/GX it gets discouraging. Gonna spend a LOT more $$ that way. If you want to play you to pay. Also, you can always play-test on PTCGO for free before buying.

    Help Do I need Gx's

    Nope, I prefer Volcanion w/o Turtles or Ho-oh and do just fine. So much metal out there. And Otaku, you are probably correct about pricing, but Volcanion EX can be had for around the price of a pack.
