    Fun Should Shaymin EX be tinned?

    Do you have a source on that? This is the first I've heard of it. The only cards I know of that get sent from TCPi are prerelease promos (as part of the prerelease package they buy) and league promos (which are sent free). It's much more likely that those "well-known" vendors, like pretty much...

    Fun Should Shaymin EX be tinned?

    That's not how it works. Regardless of whether a card is $45 or 5 cents, TCPi gets the same amount of money from it. They only get their money from sealed product. Singles being sold after being opened from a pack, deck, tin or whatever, none of that revenue goes to TCPi. And pack sales drop...

    Fun Should Shaymin EX be tinned?

    Parents would definitely go for tins over singles. Their kid gets more cards to play with. Especially since they don't understand about card prices usually, they won't pay $15 for 1 card but will pay $20 for the card and 4 packs. And yes, many players will buy it as singles...but TCPi still...

    Fun Should Shaymin EX be tinned?

    It makes them more money because most players aren't going to be buying packs in hopes of getting the Darkrai, they'll just buy it at $45 from a secondary seller like T&T or their local card shop. Absolutely zero of that $45 is going to TCPi, beyond the original amount they got from selling the...

    Fun Should Shaymin EX be tinned?

    1) Once a card is out of the pack, TPCi doesn't make money off of it. So whether a highly sought after card is $5 or $500, TPCi makes the same amount of money. 2) Nobody is trading Shaymin-EXs cause they're worth so much, so unless you're trading stuff like FA Mewtwo-EX or Secret Rares, nobody...

    Want to use my MAggron !

    Bronzong is literally the only way to attach more than 1 energy a turn to M Aggron besides Mega Turbo...so the only way to speed it up would be to run Bronzongs.

    Discussion Best XY-on Fire EX

    Camerupt EX requires too much deck space. I should probably clarify: This isn't a deck built around a Fire EX, this is a Fire deck that I want a big, bulky, hard hitting attacker in, so an EX is a natural choice for that. I'm already running Entei, yeah, both versions are good. I don't like...

    Discussion Best XY-on Fire EX

    So, basically, I'm building a fire deck since everyone at locals seems to be running either Vespiqueen, Vileplume or Metal decks. Now, Fire has some solid support in Blacksmith, Fiery Torch, Delphox, both Pyroars and Scorched Earth, but its EX attackers all seem a little less than ideal. I only...

    Standard M Tyranitar-EX / Yveltal / Forretress

    Team Magma's Secret Base is much better than Faded Town, it hits a lot more things.

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

    I doubt it. It's much more likely for both Mega Mewtwo forms to have full art than both Mewtwo EXes.

    Alt. Format XY-On: M Tyranitar / Forretress

    You only have 3 M Tyranitars, so you don't need to run the full 4 Dangerous energy. 2-3 is fine. On top of that, you can cut down to 3 Pineco, especially if you're running Pokemon Fan Club, so you'll be down to 6 basics, not just 4.

    Alt. Format XY-On: M Tyranitar / Forretress

    Team Magma's Secret Base is MUCH better than Forest of Giant Plants. You don't want to power out Forretress asap as you would rather save it for when you're about to actually KO something with Destroyer King, and Team Magma's Secret Base on its own will let you OHKO anything except for Hard...

    Standard XY-On: M Aggron EX / Bronzong

    Interesting points on the whole. This post isn't gonna be too structured as I'm on mobile atm but eh, it should be fine. Fresh Water: This card is there more to mitigate flipping Tails on Megaton Press than to actually interact with the opponent. Though I do know at least one person who will be...

    Standard XY-On: M Aggron EX / Bronzong

    Here's another decklist I've been toying around with. Frankly I like this deck more than the M Tyranitar decklist I posted a few days ago, but maybe I'm biased cause Aggron is one of my favourite pokemon and Steel is my favourite type. Pokemon: 16 3 Aggron EX 3 M Aggron EX 3 Bronzor 3 Bronzong...

    Standard XY-On M-Tyranitar EX / Forretress

    Hmm, maybe: -1 Mega Turbo -2 Pokemon Fan Club -1 Spirit Link +2 Switch +2 Super Scoop Up It's hard finding things to cut :\ Alternatively I could cut 1 Pineco and 1 Forretress in place of say, the Mega Turbo and Spirit Link.
