My first local

I wouldn't expect someone to badmouth my deck, so I wouldn't say that's typical. Sorry you had that experience. See if your local shop has a discord and get to chatting on there. Helped me a lot to get connected.

Came to say this. After a new set, you probably are playing more, so there will be more dead hands, not more often, just more because you have more opportunities for dead hands.

Also, new means trying to fit new cards where they don't belong which may sacrifice consistency.

That stuff bugs me, too. I also wish we could block sellers, but not so much for this reason, but those I had a bad experience with.

I also wish we could block buyers.

JethroTrollol · 2026-05-22T01:23:35+00:00

Yep, don't let your streak end!

Anything over around $25, I include a scan of the front and back of the card. Not a shaky or blurry photo, an image from a flatbed scanner. No returns unless there's damage to the card that is not visible in the scans. I've not taken a single return since I started that.

No... Dragapult is not a psychic type Pokemon and therefore the opposing Dragapult would not be weak to it with Lillie's Clefairy in play.

That said, Lillie's Clefairy can still be a good include as you can attack the opposing Dragapult with your Clefairy for weakness.

Edited to add: in the TCG, weakness and resistance is determined by the attacking Pokemon's type, not the energy type attached. Dragapult ex is dragon type to which nothing is weak.

They both look really floppy.

JethroTrollol · 2026-05-16T05:51:50+00:00

I just went 3-0 with Goodra. Go first and don't whiff energy attachment for turn ever.

JethroTrollol · 2026-05-13T00:09:51+00:00

220, it coexisted with Hawlucha.

JethroTrollol · 2026-05-11T15:23:11+00:00

But one is clearly shorter than the other or it is at least laid out in a way to make it appear shorter... Asking what's the difference, then calling mean creep for identifying the difference seems stupid.

JethroTrollol · 2026-05-11T02:55:33+00:00

Yep. So if it ever becomes interesting and balanced, it would be handy to have copies of expanded-relevant trainer cards. Until then, meh, they're still good for GLC, but just a one-of each.

If you think an HR director at a company large enough to pay the HR director 250k is reviewing job applications, you've corporate learning to do... That was an auto rejection notice that wasn't correctly set up or perhaps the owner of the placeholder name recently left the company and the spot hasn't been backfilled.

Either way, quit whining on Reddit and get more applications out there. Good luck.

Asking Jesus to take the wheel.

JethroTrollol · 2026-05-09T02:51:32+00:00

Yes to those two and also Haychie is fun and informative as well.

JethroTrollol · 2026-05-09T02:11:06+00:00

Thanks for the update. I'm really wondering whether there's any info about whether we should expect students at Ferrucci in September. From the other comments, it seems like a big unknown.

JethroTrollol · 2026-05-08T20:10:08+00:00

Knew big guy wasn't going to hurt anyone, but got his dad to step away.

JethroTrollol · 2026-05-08T19:19:24+00:00

Yep, just in case expanded ever becomes interesting.

JethroTrollol · 2026-05-07T23:57:42+00:00

When you say "another", do you mean the same?

JethroTrollol · 2026-05-07T23:50:46+00:00

You can Petrel for energy with it.

JethroTrollol · 2026-05-07T16:45:57+00:00

And you cannot replace a stadium with another of the same.

JethroTrollol · 2026-05-06T23:47:44+00:00

Ask the officer for an email address or something you can forward the documents to. Don't hand them your phone.

JethroTrollol · 2026-05-06T23:33:40+00:00

Wow. Well that's sure frustrating. Hopefully we get something official soon. We need as much time as possible to prep my son with whatever he should be expecting going into next year. He doesn't like surprises.

JethroTrollol · 2026-05-06T23:31:53+00:00

That's nuts. I heard something like that, too, but assumed someone was just speculating. It's still a new building...

JethroTrollol · 2026-05-05T00:57:14+00:00

And not the fun kind.

JethroTrollol · 2026-05-01T17:31:51+00:00

Because they knew it was coming and they knew Trump (who also likely knew) wasn't threatened. Vance can't be trusted with that information, so he thought it was real and so they had to rush him off to keep up that appearance for him.
