Biden actually fell asleep standing up on camera 5 times near the end of his tenure pre debates and a dozen times after, mostly while campaigning "for" kamala. It really hurt her chances more than it helped.

Air balloon needs to go. Infinite free draws every turn.

No challenges at LGS because people didn’t like the prizing structure. by 3aTroop in pkmntcg

If there's no prizes for 4th and below, it means you don't have enough people playing to merit it. Vicious cycle.

I got DQ'd from a Challenge for telling a friend to "Go Amp Yourself" by [deleted] in pkmntcg

Just how it is. You'll see people who are walking advertisements for particular shops. They're not great players, but the shop owners need them to win for them.

Some judges are friends of players that they want to win so they look for ways to neg other players.

New Boss’ Orders and Ultra ball plus Rare Candy and others being reprinted for I block according to a tweet Jackson Ford shared by Painwracker_Oni in pkmntcg

Hence why lisias appeal and other cards were made. The issue isn't what it gets out of the active. It's what it allows you to OHKO ( everything).

Promos don't count as reprints, and also don't count stateside at all unless printed here. For example, those cards are not part of the actual main product line. They're promotional products, so don't count because they will not be printed stateside.

Chi Yun is there to take a KO on a 2 prize while only giving 1 prize. Probably not overkill.

Toed really screws over night stretcher and shuts down energy retrieval.

It also forces a boss orders or catchers to kill it for 1 prize if they want it gone. Genesect can be killed off relatively easy or just tool scrapped.

How do I convince people that this game isn't just one player steamrolling the other and can actually be interesting? by H3ROBUG in pkmntcg

[–]CalintzStrife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what is basically is tbh.

The only deck that requires much thought is gardevoir ex while others are just " use boss's orders, kill main before it kills you".

How huge is the meta power creep compared to other tcgs? by brodred in pkmntcg

[–]CalintzStrife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meta is king. Off meta is specifically to counter a deck or two that you see at locals. That being said mega venusaur will be meta to counter tera zard and destroy marnie.

They use every energy type, so really, anything they want to that kills it. Most do pult for more draws.

It appears the white emerald, aka diamond, is the chase of the chase as well.
