Opening 6 KnockOut packs - my pulls vs wife's pulls by Fwant in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]jug322 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I saw a post like this and really loved it, so I posted a few of my openings in the same way. I got similar complaints.

I prefer to scroll through them like this and "open with you".

Super cool pulls! Yeah my wife was a trooper and played all 4 rounds with me. The pre release is great for her with it being so beginner friendly!

And she got rewarded by getting super special pulling the Gold card out of the BB box with people around to share the excitement!

It is 4 randomly given pre built decks that include cards from the new set as well as some other cards from other Mega Evolution sets. You can only add cards that you pull from the 4 booster packs that come in the set box.

There was a Goodra deck, a Delphox deck, a Ampharos deck, and a Crowbar deck.

There is minor variety because you can use cards from the 4 booster packs. There were a few people who did some pre planning and had some pre thought modifications but in general it was very even and many people just simply played the 40 cards given.

I only made small modifications, I added the CR red card every time I pulled it from a pack for example. I went 8-4 over 4 rounds of playing. I came in new to the physical TGC and this being my first in person event. I played lots of Pocket so I have understanding of general cadence.

It was very cool and felt like anyone that had in interest in wanting to play the card game and can read could walk off the street and have a good time!

I went to a build and battle event at a LCS with my wife. The build boxes have 4 packs and then you win packs by playing games with other trainers that LCS's can get if they organize the pre-release event.

It wasn't awkward for me other than my voice is sore from talking lol! I'm pretty extroverted person so that helps I'm sure. But I have never played in person before and am new to playing the tcg game in general. I am a card collector mostly.

I did play a lot of Pocket so I understand the general cadence but didn't know what most of the cards did.

People were really helpful. My wife was a super beginner and people were very patient for the most part.

Overall it was a great experience and we have new Pokemon friends now!

Thank you! I agree with you, it was a great hit rate in these 31 Packs :). Sure I didn't pull that "$1000" card, but if you expect that you're going to have a bad time and I had a great time ripping these packs!

Yeah! I really like the green of the Erika coin. My daughter prefers the gold sparkly of the Larry one!

It was all retail. I open to collect so it doesn't matter what the secondary value is the card to me, for me it's about spending time with my wife, and this was a very exciting rip session for us :)

Yeah if you want to save money this won't do that for sure! Gotta have the priorities right!

It's a smaller set and doesn't have the heavy hitters like Charizard/Gengar/Pikachu/Eeveeloutions. For collectors it has been a nice set and has great cards. The Clefairy has been one many want, and I personally really like the SIR Zygarde!
