Budew slows the format down, but at what cost?

Ultimately, I think that Surging Sparks will be like Vivid Voltage, and Prismatic Evolutions will be like Shining Fates. They will get their reprints. When TPCi releases a statement about reprints, they go into overdrive. This happened with Hidden Fates, it happened with Champion’s Path, it will...

I wouldn’t mind if we got a promo or something with the hyper rare gold and SIR texture. The misprint’s high price is completely understandable

Alolan Vulpix and Hisuian Zorua are cute as usual, and the scene in the winter forest at night with all the other pokemon is pretty fantastic. I’m definitely picking the mat up, at least. Other than that, pretty run-of-the-mill stuff

eh. I don’t know if this is an unpopular opinion or not here among full TCG enjoyers, but I really could not care less for Pocket. All it did is make the hobby almost intolerable as scalpers ruin everyone’s day with the increased demand. I don’t understand how TPCi didn’t see this coming from a...

China continues to get all this cool shit we can’t have. TPCi needs release these internationally or at least in Japan where it’s actually accessible. They’re too cool to be region-locked in China. I need the shiny cardboard

How many damn reprints is this Charizard ex going to get?? We’re in the I block and this is a G block card. lol. At this point it’s downright comical. Surely this is the last one

The ridiculous, completely Herculean amount of effort required to get ahold of this set, just to be hit in the face with a 1 in 1000 chance to get ANY Eeveelution SIR… The only way this set was salvageable was if it were like Crown Zenith, with ample supply and high pull rates. It is not like...

A Pokemon Center Lady reprint, huh? Not a good card, but it’s a thematic card which is cool

I imagine Legends Z-A will be a launch title, if current predictions hold… if true, I believe this is the first time for a Pokemon game

I love all the cards the Galvantula line has been getting recently

One of the worst cards ever printed in respect to the era it’s in. With that said, the art is great

Oh, look, a bunch of cool cards I won’t be able to get because everything’s already bought out. My pessimism about the hobby right now aside, that Iris card looks quite strong. The discard is a significant benefit by itself, let alone with a complementary benefit like drawing until a certain...

Box toppers!! Love that they’re making a return. That said… I can’t believe that LITERALLY EVERYTHING on Pokemon Center is already out of stock. Seriously? I get the ETBs to an extent (still stupid), but everything else? It’s literally been 12 hours… I just want to open a few packs… I miss the G...

This article is talking about San Antonio guys. The last event before Budew

I don’t understand why the designers are so averse to making a good Metagross which benefits from Metal Maker. If this were a Metal-type it might be a fun rogue deck, but we’re not allowed to have fun apparently

The stupid supply problems that have been happening since Surging Sparks have been slowly driving me from the hobby again in a way reminiscent of 2020. I hope it doesn’t come to that fully. I miss the G block’s extremely affordable prices

Keep in mind that Hop can boost the damage of his guys by 90 using his stadium, tool, and a benched Snorlax. So it’s actually 330 for 3 metal. But that’s hard to reach to begin with, let alone ignoring all the damage ramp support you need on the board. You could probably make it work with...

As sad as it is to say, Mamoswine will likely never see competitive play unless they, A. Print some actually good energy acceleration for Fighting energy beyond Koraidon ex (and Neo Upper in Mamo’s case) because the type has no support, and B. Print a Stage 2 Pokemon with an ability like “If you...

I’m glad they’re printing prize manipulation with Exchange Ticket just as Hisuian Heavy Ball rotates. It’s been a long time since we got a prize manipulation Trainer, and the effect seems pretty good too unlike something like Arc Phone. This will probably be a one-of in some decks
