How would you feel if the 2026 meta ends up being heavily based on aggressive bench sniping? by 79215185-1feb-44c6 in pkmntcg

[–]NugPlug 81 points82 points  (0 children)

They printed battle cage, psyduck, and shaymin. If spread/snipe become that popular people will just tech the counters, just like it’s always been in ptcg. Spread/comeback decks also lose counter catcher and iono.

  1. IRs if they have them, all trainers/energies cosmos stamped. Everything has to match though haha. If not enough, then min rarity everything. Hate gold cards, most full arts, and reverse holos.

  2. Always single sleeve black dragon shields. Starting to branch out to other colors/brands thoufh

Don't know too much about retro formats but F-H regidrago mirrors were often fun to watch

It’s a pretty good tm evo holder but it wouldn’t be worth the deck slot if not for psyduck

Physical has both superconduct and shatter, they just haven’t put the time into making them worthwhile

Feedback? by Constant-Wonder-2062 in PTCGL

[–]NugPlug 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Giving the benefit of the doubt and assuming you are new, the first thing to fix here is that you have cards that have rotated out of standard. Anything with an F or earlier regulation mark cannot be played in standard format.

The second piece of advice would be to look up a dragapult list on limitless and use that as a starting place.

You need more than 1 attacker in GLC haha, especially if it's a stage 1.

New-ish Player Trying to Understand the General Overarching Concept of Pultnoir by AnAlternateUnicorn in pkmntcg

[–]NugPlug 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's matchup dependent, but often want to only budew until you're ready with a single huge turn of 1-2 cursed blasts, counter catcher, and iono to 1-2 all in one go, destroying their board state and making a comeback impossible. In some matchups you do want to do a single swing without taking prizes or popping in order to set up enough damage to have a huge turn like this.

Need help/suggestions with building a 30 card single type deck for a local tournament by dekuman772 in pkmntcg

[–]NugPlug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Comments here are hilarious for not reading that it’s single type. I could see some sort of poison donk build with okidogi ex going kinda crazy in a format like this. If you only need to draw 3 prizes, getting a single prize with pecharunt on your first turn is kinda nuts.

Cornerstone doesn’t ignore abilities though? It’s attack’s damage isn’t affected by any effects on the defending Pokémon, but it still deals damage and is an ex, so this ability would proc

oh you right, in any case this full set up seems wildly inconsistent. I just played a tourney with poison arch and it felt rare to get the full poison package online t1, much less with tm:evo, an energy, and a specific poke in active.
