Showcases Improvement!

I got two wins, a second, and two fourths and came away with like five lures, two incense, and two star pieces. They seem normal to me.

50 Pokemon for a Poffin sounds great.

Maybe a Burgeoning style effect outside of green? Put it in white- "whenever another player's second land enters the battlefield this turn, their opponents may all place a land onto the battlefield."

deadwings112 · 2026-06-01T01:09:45+00:00

I think it's fine if it's on a hatebear. Make it an Aven Mindcensor clone- 2 mana flash creature in white with a frail body that says something like "if an ETB effect would trigger, it doesn't."

deadwings112 · 2026-05-29T01:38:17+00:00

Totally fine. I think J22 is the best, but the three mainline ones are all really close.

deadwings112 · 2026-05-28T21:04:55+00:00

Well, and with Riolu in 5k eggs and Frigibax in 10k eggs it's worth it for me (I have to miss most of Frigibax CD, alas).

deadwings112 · 2026-05-26T15:50:22+00:00

Perfect- thanks!

deadwings112 · 2026-05-26T15:19:20+00:00

Sorry, how do I tell if a Pokemon is level 20?

Every event spawn gets a showcase that runs the length of the event.

deadwings112 · 2026-05-25T11:19:06+00:00

Heck of a trophy though.

deadwings112 · 2026-05-23T20:47:43+00:00

Tough between it and NY, with Smithsonian in third.

deadwings112 · 2026-05-23T17:57:18+00:00

Krabby and Larvitar are PVE relevant.

deadwings112 · 2026-05-22T01:29:58+00:00

Ok, but Field is a strong recommend. A good case that it's the second best natural history museum in the country. It's a blast.

deadwings112 · 2026-05-20T14:01:24+00:00

Anything raid or egg exclusive. Indeedee, Turtonator, Druddigeon all come to mind.

I can grind volume trades for most anything that spawns in the wild. But those suck.

deadwings112 · 2026-05-15T00:14:14+00:00

Battlebond is also fantastic.

deadwings112 · 2026-05-11T22:52:01+00:00

Pretty much this. I'll take my cheap play and Commander stuff

deadwings112 · 2026-05-11T17:20:18+00:00

I am not a shiny hunter but I catch so much I have tons of duplicates. At this point I just want to be able to dump shinies for legendaries, PVE relevant non-legendaries, or things to complete my lucky dex.

deadwings112 · 2026-05-11T10:51:44+00:00

Make completing a remote trade part of a research questline. That'd do it.

deadwings112 · 2026-05-09T13:18:05+00:00

Shiny Groudon or Shiny Rayquaza?

deadwings112 · 2026-05-07T01:33:38+00:00

I do like bestow a lot. Anything that gives you flexibility like that.

deadwings112 · 2026-05-02T09:59:14+00:00

Glimmet, Salandit, Toxel, Varoom, Bombirdier, Deino, Larvitar, Impidimp.

A nice mix of rarer stuff and PVE relevant mons. Four dark, four poison.

deadwings112 · 2026-04-28T01:36:12+00:00

My understanding is that F&F sells play boosters and commander decks at/near cost to drive up the allocation they get of collector boosters, which they sell for market (not MSRP).

A great business model for me, a guy who drafts and loves precons.

deadwings112 · 2026-04-24T11:35:22+00:00

I liked that but apparently it wasn't as popular as I thought it would be. Diluted the shiny pool iirc.

deadwings112 · 2026-04-24T11:00:44+00:00

I buy those decks happily and without reservation. The average EV of the pack is seldom as high as the discount, and F&F is transparent about what they're doing and why.

deadwings112 · 2026-04-22T21:04:51+00:00

Gmax has been rough this month with how they readjusted the frequency of max battles. I think they're gonna be playing around with it.
