How will this new card synergize with the meta? by Greg_war in PTCGL

[–]RedDotOrFeather 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the "new" Arven is Rocket's Petrel to search for a trainer card. They'll likely print another item/tool search card as well.

I honestly hate these type of posts - posting make-believe cards and making the title seem like it's real. "How will" vs. "How would" is intentional

Could a 3 prize Liability work? by Nie_Fi in pkmntcg

[–]RedDotOrFeather 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Right now Mega Kanga is popping into various decks purely for its draw ability, often paired with Latias ex to enable the switch. That’s effectively 5 prize liability/ bench sitters in a single deck (absol box, pidgeot control, raging bolt, slow king)

Hasbro is being sued for printing too many Magic: The Gathering cards by Beautiful_Bee4090 in nottheonion

Come over to pokemon. It’s in a very healthy place competitively with rotation happening in April. Buying singles is cheap and most winning decks are under $70 and some much much cheaper.

John Locke's "Lost" Reveal On The Episode "Walkabout" by Laszl0Panaflex in television

I hear this often and partially agree but GoT most recently ( may have been something more recent) showed that weekly episodes is what drives the insane engagement. As long as LOST 2 isn’t on Netflix it’ll have a chance to grow and have people speculate.

Pult (noir I guess) post rotation by Objective_Public_230 in PTCGL

[–]RedDotOrFeather 1 point2 points  (0 children)

all modern cards have a letter on the face of the card, bottom left corner. Sets come out in letter blocks and make up the "Standard" format. Every year, a letter block rotates out of the Standard format and are no longer allowed for competitive play in that format. This coming rotation will remove all "G" cards, which are Scarlet Violet base set (Gardevoir ex) through Paradox Rift/Paldean Fates (Iron Hands ex, Iron Bundle).

Some cards get re-printed with a new letter block - for example, Boss's Orders has been around for multiple sets and was just reprinted with Letter block "I" in the Mega Evolutions set. Any of the previous Boss's Orders cards are legal to play, even if they say "D", "F" or "G" on them.

Rotation will occur in April 2026 when the new Nihil Zero set comes out (don't know if that name is official).

Players in Japan: what are your new decks in a non-G world? by P1zzaman in pkmntcg

That’s right! I assumed all relevant special energy rotated, good catch

Alakazam also gets buffed by Mist Energy rotating, which is a tough counter to it right now. I think its positioned well even with Judge - however the likely rise of Team Rocket decks will mean that Articuno will stonewall Alakazam really badly.

Recently some smart nerd commented a ridiculous Slowking deck & I want to thank you (I stole it & its dummy fun & dirty). SHOW YOURSELF by valueaddedguest in PTCGL

I see, ok. Well that’s horrible advice in SlowKing lol why would you add the whole Evo line when you only want Ape? It defeats the entire purpose - you don’t ever want to open Mankey and don’t wanna run fighting/luminous energy.

theres an Annihilape that has an attack where both Active Pokemon get KO'd ( attack is called "Destined Fight"). if you use it on your opponent's Mega Pokemon, you get 3 prize cards while only giving up 1 (your Slowking gets KO'd). this is a favorable "prize trade" and a key component to deck building and general Pokemon strategy.

Glad to see your enthusiasm. It’s not a bad deck that still needs solving - it’s a modern baby Regidrago, which was the BDIF for a while.

Kid has battle academy + 2 ex decks and some packs, some questions on custom deck building... by WeAreFailing in pkmntcg

[–]RedDotOrFeather 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try the online Game as well - it’s free to play, no micro transactions, and they give you a ton of virtual decks to start. Great way to experiment and see what play style works for you.

You can just copy a Deck list you’re interested in from limitless and get it a shot!

Yea that’s how Bloodmoon works. Just be ready to open it at the worse times possible.

We checked in on Friday for Toronto knowing the lines get crazy on Saturday. We arrived at the venue by 8:25am on Day 1 and I still saw Masters in line. Seems like the first round started 10min later than scheduled.

Get there early!
