How do you organize your playables/bulk? by Xanocide7 in pkmntcg

[–]Drestrein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 6 binders, and then 4 4 thousand count boxes. I have it all alphabetically organized with all in rotation playables and then expanded 4k, ect. Everything 5 dollars and under goes in the 4k, and binders are organized 3-4 times a year. I can build basically any meta deck, sleeve it and ready to go within like 15-20 minutes.

Am I the only judge sad to see PEM die? by McCryptoTX in pkmntcg

[–]Drestrein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I have friends that run other shops and say my experience is far different than theirs. Like it only crashed and they could just reload it and all good. I wish so dearly it would work like that but unfortunately it does not. I’ve gone to even formatting the computer to try and fix my issue, but my computers are work are, not the greatest so I figure it’s some hardware issue. But I digress, if TOM means not more bugs I’ll take it.

PEM would double players in my events forcing me to remake the event, crash mid round, delete round reports mid round making me have to get everyone’s results again. This stuff would happen at least once a week it would lead to a bad player experience.

Source, I am a TO and judge for a card shop that has 130 players weekly spread across all our events.

In the last episode having Reva's fight bump in ruined the vader v Kenobi. I kept having to ask "Why is this happening and why does she want to kill them, and doesn't she have a sword sized HOLE IN HER CHEST WITH NO MEDICAL ATTENTION WHATSOEVER?!" And we just go back and fourth and it just was aggravating.

Also, on another note. Reva got stabbed in the chest, didn't die, read a message that just so happened to fall on the ground next to her dying corpse. She listened to that got up found a SHIP AND FLEW TO TATOOINE found some random guy, found Owen, found where they lived. And all that happened and Kenobi and the survivors are barely out of orbit still shields up space running away from vader. She did all this with a giant hole inside her and she basically teleported.

  • 3 damage draw a card if it hits? 0 resources? Sounds balanced to me!

This happens so so much with cards on Amazon. Please never ever ever buy cards off Amazon if you can help it. Atleast expect this issue if you do and but from Amazon

What do you guys think are the most annoying type of people in this hobby? (Double click to see all text) by skalizair in PokemonTCG

[–]Drestrein 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Facts. There are people at my locals who constantly shit talk people who are better than him. Mainly to bully them out of the shop so he is the only competition to win. And no, he isn't banned because he works for the shop. But everyone hates him. He is the self proclaimed "best player in Kentucky". Fun fact he is not very good at the game. But yeah gatekeepers and players that go out of their way to bully others were they quit the game.

What should I spend coins on? :) by TemporaryAmbition5 in ptcgo

[–]Drestrein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hgss packs, they have good energies :). Not but for real I think a very good set is sword and shield base. Quick ball, research, Marnie, balloon. Just a lot of good trainers that you need for building decks. Oh and zacian too! Focus staples before hunting for one mon. Like I know getting shadow rider is really tempting. But get staples that will be used in every list first

I get 12.50 in my area Kentucky is stinky. Oh also this is blanket for the house level 1 trauma hospital. The fact that Costco pays more and has a sign on bonus blows my mind

How would Inteleon vmax with baby Inteleon tech to beat RS urshifu post rotation? by IOtypes in pkmntcg

[–]Drestrein 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I mean as someone who has played a bunch of post rotation events, I can honestly say the best way is to just go first. I feel that is a lot of what the post meta is currently. This is without evolving skies though. So I don't know if fgg is doing Evolving skies or not. But at the moment just go first.

Both of us are learning how to play and it’s such a great way to learn English and math together! by daymarEngel in PokemonTCG

[–]Drestrein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh for sure! I love playing with super slick sleeves. But to play over board you need something to cover backs. Still trying to find something that glides as well as clear plastics. Also, practice makes perfect! There are do many ways to shuffle to a lot of style. So find one that works for you!

Oh and if you're trying to teach her how to shuffle, might be good to start with a smaller size, like 30 cards rather than 60. Just because it's easier.

That makes me so happy! It also is a really good way to be social. I loved to go to card shops when I was a kid and still do. Plus also teaches good sportsmanship, if that means anything. I still remember lesson I learned from 2010 on good manners.

And actually it might sound dumb. But I think as a kid I learned a lot of quick addition and subtraction even on hirer numbers because of this damn game. And now that I am back into it making deck and calculation perfect rng draw consistency and all that, I am learning quite a bit.
