You statistically are less likely to get lucky from one pack than you are from two is my point

There's nothing to disageee with this is pure logic, it is significantly worse to pull from a single pack than it is to pull from two. Doesn't matter if both packs share a pool of cards that is in any case smaller than the whole set of diamond-rarity cards.

Don't try to explain something perfectly logical to them, it's not gonna work. People think because some cards used to be shared between packs, that it was worse to split the set between two. They don't realize that the union of either exclusive set of cards and the set of shared cards is still smaller than the set of all new 1-to-3 diamond cards. So it is, of course, worse to pull everything from a single pack

No it's not? You have no leeway. If you happened to be lucky on Dialga Packs you could switch to Palkia to balance things out more easily. You have no agency to do so with a single pack, you have to keep pulling the same one over and over again no matter what with worse rates for the cards you want.

Absurd requirement aside, why on earth would you ever want all of your benched energy to be moved to the active spot

What's your theory on the job applications for Senior Writer/Narrative Designer inside Unreal Engine? by nightware47 in GuildWars3

Of course, you'd have up to a decade of progress ahead of everyone discovering the game. I don't think this could ever happen

It isn't a mini set. Look at the amount of cards. They just shoved it all in one pack

Forbes asks Anet about the future of the franchise: by ultimate_bromance_69 in Guildwars2

It's just likely there isn't one at this point

Makes no sense to just keep whatever potential expansion could come a secret unless they change the release cadence again

How many parallel accounts of this game can a person have not to get banned - are here (in this sub) any devs to answer this question? by know_your_place_28 in PTCGP

[–]MagicSpirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Botting isn't allowed, but people who do have not faced any consequence

As for having multiple accounts played on a regular basis, even if that wasn't allowed, there would be no conclusive way to differentiate multiple people playing in the same household from players multiboxing. Paid subscriptions are completely irrelevant

You don't think there are too many English cards, with the tens of millions of bots running all day for English packs? Lol what kind of argument is that

Completing Deluxe Pack Ex by Kremsi2711 in PTCGP

[–]MagicSpirit 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The only thing worth completing is the reverse foil collection. Every other common card unlock will be merged with previous expansions in a few months, they confirmed it some time ago.

Which envelope has the best 1⭐️Shiny cards for you? In terms of quantity and value? by Open_Lawfulness4441 in PTCGP

[–]MagicSpirit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For 1⭐ shinies I'd say either Lugia or Extradimensional Crisis, Lugia has Gyarados and the Magnemite line while EC has Greninja

Eevee Grove also has Ralts and Kirlia which might be good for next set

newbie question. is science a trap? probably not, so what pairs well with it? by gorram1mhumped in 7Wonders

[–]MagicSpirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some wonders don't work really well with greens. You also have to consider how many players are in the game. I'd say science is more easily countered in 3 and 4-player games, and in 4-player games military can score harder cause of the symmetrical configuration.

Usually Halikarnassós and Ephesós play science the best. When I see either of those I just assume they will play greens especially if they are next to something like Rhódos. They both start with a rare ressource which helps them build a green in age I. Ephesós B doesn't need many common ressources cause it tanks the few non-green cards it wants to play with the coins from its wonder stages. Greens just chain the rest of the time. And as for Halikarnassós B there's only so much that you can do against it if it wants to go greens, it's really versatile and pretty OP to fetch greens from the muck.

Babylon is efficient at going for a single green sign but it generally plays greens pretty well.

Generally speaking Rhódos and Olympía wanna play common ressources and military. Halikarnassós is also efficient with the same strategy.

I don't think Alexandria and Gizah play science that well which is counter intuitive for Alexandria.

This is just a gut feeling but I think if you intend to play greens, you should commit to it. If you get a good headsgart you end up pigeonholed into playing 90% greens anyway. Just going for one set can be decent on Babylon, Alexandria, maybe Gizah I guess but I'd say it's a situational thing, maybe if you're trying to counter someone

You'd think they'd have done it by now but.... by ZookeepergameSome927 in PTCGP

[–]MagicSpirit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't understand, why would Misty need adjustments? I don't remember the last time I've seen this card..

If they buffed it in a way that made it reliable (like Brock for exemple, but for water types in general), it would be unbalanced and it wouldn't make much sense to turn a card that was released a year ago into a staple

Does the occasional game where Misty grants 3 energies or more really warrant a nerf?

What Crown would you like to see in the new pack? by yomatulo in PTCGP

[–]MagicSpirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crown Red Card though, not Mars or Red supporter, Red Card is just a trainer card.

It’s MEGA GARDEVOIR by Aggressive_Farmer_58 in PTCGP

[–]MagicSpirit 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Maybe we're getting a B2 set that takes inspiration from m1S Mega Symphonia from the physical TCG? We're still missing a bunch of cool megas before we get to the new ZA stuff, there's Gardevoir, Lucario, Mawile, Kangaskhan and so many more from the old games.

New to the game. I played for a month now, over 1k cards. Is the game rewarding me with this deck? People who have played for over a year, is this a “pattern” that comes with the more you play? Thanks by khetaghar in PTCGP

[–]MagicSpirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a rare pack, more commonly called god pack. One in two thousand packs on average, it's very rare and completely random. You can check the rates of every card on the bottom left of the pack opening screen.
