I'm just coming back to the Pokemon card game and realize that most of the older cards I own are now unusable in standard play. My question is it the ban includes any of the promotional cards I have. If so, at what promo number does the ban end at?
Promos?
- Thread starter Nercinator
- Start date
All of the Wizards promos are not legal for tournament play. But any Nintendo promo numbered 27 and up can be used.
I don't think they are too useful, but I enjoy collecting them. I throw one or two into a deck when I can't think of anything else to add in.
Which is card number 27? And also, are POP cards legal for tournament play?

I'm not sure what 027 is, but I can help with your other question.
Currently, all POP cards (sets 1, 2, and 3) are legal for Modified. After Worlds, POP 1 will get dropped along with the main sets. POP 2 will remain legal until Worlds '07.

According to the gallery section in the PokéGym, #27 is Tropical Tidal Wave. Flip a coin. If heads, discard all of your opponent's trainer cards in play. If tails, discard all of your trainer cards in play.
As far as I know, this rare card was only released at the Worlds 2005 Championship. Another card that was released at Worlds, #28, is Championship Arena. It is a Stadium card. At the end of a player's turn, if they have more than 7 cards in their hand, they must discard cards until they have 7 cards in their hand.
Promos #29 and #30 are a reprinted Celebi from the one released at Pokémon 4ever, and a 3rd reprint of Suicune from Aquapolis. The rest of the promo cards are the legendary birds from the tins.
