    Pokemon TCG Live’s First Year of Stats Released, Less Than 3% Usage Compared to Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel

    one great thing about PTCGO was that it had a theme deck battle format. this made getting into the card game EXTREMELY easy. in fact, it's how i got back into playing the card game, as the decks were easy to operate and highly accessible. we still get theme decks to this day, in the form of ex...

    Pokemon TCG Live’s First Year of Stats Released, Less Than 3% Usage Compared to Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel

    i honestly think one of the main issues with PTCGL that doesn't get talked about enough is how front-heavy the content is. in other words, once you complete the season's battle pass, what left is there to do besides wait for the next one? the daily rewards are good when you're filling out the...

    Hydrapple ex, Stellar Lapras ex, Briar, and More Revealed from “Stellar Miracle!”

    first off, i'm not a king lol second off, check my other comment for reference. the TLDR is that hydrapple ex is a stage 2 pokemon that can only attach 1 extra energy per turn, which makes it EXTREMELY slow relative to the infinite acceleration provided by good stage 2's like gardevoir ex &...

    Hydrapple ex, Stellar Lapras ex, Briar, and More Revealed from “Stellar Miracle!”

    i completely agree. to be clear, i still love playing non-meta cards, not every card has to be playable, and there could be upcoming cards that significantly buff hydrapple ex. it's just a matter of that i really want hydrapple ex to have more valuable traits, and i want grass-type decks to be...

    this is not hard evidence, this is the community response to give an idea of why the scandal accusations are being made. many people are pointing to the name similarities of the different V.K. submissions, with the potential of someone bypassing the three-submission limit. some of the...

    Hydrapple ex, Stellar Lapras ex, Briar, and More Revealed from “Stellar Miracle!”

    i can't believe i'm about to yap this hard about a childrens card game ... my bad lol this might sound nice on first impression but the reality is that it's a stage 2 pokemon, and that severely hampers its ability to be effective. it's historically very difficult to get multiple stage 2...

    Hydrapple ex, Stellar Lapras ex, Briar, and More Revealed from “Stellar Miracle!”

    hydrapple ex is the first time a card's lack of viability has actively made me salty LOL i love hydrapple and was hoping for a great card but this is worse than ogerpon ex in pretty much every way grass types still don't have a viable engine

    New “Tera Brawlers Premium Collection” at GameStop in August!

    is it annoying to see charizard ex reprinted 20,000 times? probably, but it IS really good for competitive players looking to build decks more affordably

    Jamming Tower Revealed from “Mask of Change!”

    i think its pretty important to understand that tools are the mostp powerful they've been in nearly 10 years. arven providing easy accessibility, on top of the increased tool power level, has led to tools becoming increasily necessary to pull up game-winning combos. at euic, 12 of the top 16...

    Brute Bonnet, Iron Bundle from “Mask of Change”

    all you really need to implement iron valiant is enough switching cards. we saw this with last tormat, as iron valiant decks basically took the entei v rogue deck and implemented itself into it seemlessly to become a viable deck. we're not using iron valiant to attack, mainly to use its damage...

    Brute Bonnet, Iron Bundle from “Mask of Change”

    i feel like the way to go is to pair brute bonnet with iron valiant ex, no? there was a rogue deck pairing crabominable v with iron valiant ex to get OHKO's on everything last format

    “Temporal Forces” Has Hardest Pull Rates of Scarlet & Violet Sets for Highest Rarities

    will harder pull rates even increase the price values that much? i feel like this will only significantly increase the price of highly sought-after cards that only appear once every few sets (i.e. iono illustration rare, lugia v alternate art). for the rest of the rare, but not valuable cards...

    Morpeko from “Crimson Haze!”

    i think this card is good card design, but unfortunately it's definitely not competitively viable. even if you're playing a very slow deck, there's just too many fast methods of acceleration and drawing that outclass this morpeko. i love the art, though

    Magcargo ex from “Crimson Haze”

    oh yeah fs, this is looking like it'll be a funny meme deck at least. if you don't get the damage boost, hitting for 140 damage still isn't the WORST thing in the world. it is kind of odd that we're going back to a mono tera type. i guess the idea is that mono tera type cards hit harder...

    Magcargo ex from “Crimson Haze”

    magma basin is a fine stadium, but you can only use its effect to accelerate one energy per turn (unlike flaaffy or dark patch). it also very easily gets bumped by lost vacuum, other stadiums, etc. charizard ex only provides a one-time acceleration of energy, and not a consistent energy engine...

    Magcargo ex from “Crimson Haze”

    the fact that you're forced on using your supporter for turn on what essentially is a damage booster, that you can only use on the end of your turn before you attack. not being able to use boss's orders or iono during your turn, because you had to use a different supporter to hit more damage...
