it really shouldn't need saying, but a card doesn't have to be in a BDIF list in order to be a good or useful card. reevaluate your priorities when it comes to analyzing new cards, and examine the game through a more reasonable lens. it's a much healthier way to engage with a children's card...

quite the absolute conclusion of the only thing that will "realistically" happen you've got there. good luck!

Blissey ex.

having any Tera ex in play enables Glass Trumpet energy acceleration onto colorless monsters in general, not just onto Terapagos ex. you're looking at this through too narrow a scope if you can only imagine its use cases being limited to Terapagos ex.

have you considered approaching this from the angle of using Hydrapple ex in place of Teal Mask Ogerpon ex instead of as a partner for it? no reason to stress about how it can't slot into an existing deck there's no reason to assume it's only able to be joined at the hip to.

Teal Mask Ogerpon ex only attaches energy to itself, Hydrapple ex attaches energy to anything. Syrup Storm scales with energy anywhere on your board instead of just actives.

Drednaw having big hit invincibility is cool, and Salazzle being a 3 card handrip is pretty funny. Fun stuff all around.

it's able to make a big damage number happen, but it does seem like it takes some pretty meaningful setup or an ACE SPEC card like Neo Upper Energy or Sparkling Crystal in order to attack in a timely manner.

we will be watching, and waiting. godspeed translation team.

HP on single prize Pokemon increases more slowly relative to multiprize because they are worth only a single prize card when knocked out. a lot of math hinges on this being the case and rushing to "power creep" HP on single prizers is a far bigger risk than doing it with Pokemon ex. go play some...

what exactly triggers a post in a thread receiving the "awaiting moderator approval, and is invisible to normal visitors" message, and what reasonable course of action does a user have should a lengthy post be eternally left in this state in the middle of a discussion? i still have a post from a...

pokemon who are worth two KOs when they are defeated having roughly two times the HP of equivalent cards who are only worth one KO makes sense, doesn't it? as with multi-prize monsters, there is a range that results in tankier and less tanky examples among single prizers. there isn't really any...

the staggering irony of a statement like this should be evident. i don't know how to even begin to explain why this is wrong without coming across as a bully, because I think it should be really obvious that this current era is so saturated with evolution decks, especially Stage 2, at all...

i don't think that you would be able demonstrate this claim if you tried. gesturing at an offscreen "majority of people" who totally agree with you isn't really all that convincing in place of specific examples or argumentation.

to attempt to pre-emptively explain or diffuse, any example of an effect that allows you to put more than your usual one energy card attach from your hand into play during each of your turns is something that could be described as "overshadowing the game's rules". that's not to say this is...

what would you specifically describe as a card that "overshadows the game's rules to an extreme degree" such that "any deck that cannot slot them is not playable"? because i can think of plenty of the former and essentially none of them result in the latter outcome.

I was certainly hoping they'd just have Crystal Type or an equivalent color change effect, but this is still okay because I'm a sucker for multi color costs like this. only 15 years ago? i'm a player from 25 years ago. it's almost unrecognizable as a game, but the pokemon tcg was already almost...

Lots of fun stuff, here. Galvantula, Hypno, Houndoom, and Weavile especially stand out, along with the Night Academy showing some potential. More often than usual, these cards make me wish there were some kind of pauper ladder in PTCGL, for those of us who don't really have a local to go to anymore.

it's not a janine problem by any means, it's an artist problem. it's almost as though the head were drawn around the size of silhouette a character with looser, untied hair would have with the hair on top of it, but then janine has her hair pulled back tight so she, as others have mentioned...

Yeah, it would have been nice if it also had some kind of Shred-adjacent wording to allow it to pick off Mist Energy users since Special Energy isn't a guaranteed thing in decks right now, but at least its other "just does damage" attack is particularly strong and inexpensive to use. All in all...
