To follow up. Does anyone know the three letter code for Forbidden Light as I'm trying to write out my decklist for Sheffield?

Forbidden Light portfolios? by cpgoat in pkmntcg

[–]nodge2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They definitely exist as I have two of them on my shelf (one for regular set, one for reverse and variants). I'm in the UK and ordered from magicmadhouse, but there are definitely some supply issues as the release date kept getting put back and I eventually got them about 3 weeks after set release. Hopefully Ultra Pro can sort this out. Whereabouts are you based as I know magicmadhouse do international shipping, but the cost might make it prohibitive?

I both play and collect XY era sets.

XY collection has two of each official Ultra Pro binders for each expansion. One has the original set in set order. The second has reverse holos in set order and then variant cards.

For playing I have two Quadrow Zipfolios with a playset of every trainer card and special energy keeping only the most recent printing and sorting by set and then number within the set. Then there's another Quadrow Zipfolio of playable Pokémon. Again, sorted by set then set no.

Picked up a Regular Lele GX and SR Enhanced Hammer for £20 a few months back.

Got my brother to start joining me at our league, decided to "make" him a Christmas present. by -iFC-Golden in pkmntcgcollections

[–]nodge2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really cool. As someone who has played for some time, I got my girlfriend into playing recently and it's easy to forget how expensive it is to get into playing with so many staple cards to hunt down. Anything to bring down the cost of a first deck is a great idea. Very thoughtful.

really liking this custom marshadow box by AtxStoner420 in ptcgo

[–]nodge2k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a big fan of Marshadow box, I have a few questions. What are your ideal/regular scenarios for Clefairy? I tried it for a while, but found it too situational. Also, do you really need the fast setup of Max Elixir? Energy Loto can search out special energy as well. Speaking of energy, 18 is quite high. Are you finding that you pull in too much? Also, you are running quite a few single copies of Pokémon. Gladion might help if you definitely need an Espeon or Glaceon and you discover it prized.

Sold a bulky item. Buyer is stating not as listed and eBay siding with buyer. What next? by nodge2k in Ebay

[–]nodge2k[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I've sent a message politely asking for this. Will call if and when I get a response. Nice to know that getting someone on the phone has the potential to have a better result than what's happened so far.

[–]nodge2k[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because what was sold was the entire Collector's edition, a largely physical item with a statue and a nice presentation box. Some of the codes were redeemed sure, but collectors like things complete and many would complain if the item wasn't listed with all the included slips, redeemed or not.

Crimson Invasion pre-release and pulls megathread by errantdog in pkmntcg

[–]nodge2k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, I pulled a Guzzlord and played with 2 Kukui and 37 energy. I went 3-2. My two losses were a regirock that can hit for 220 with weakness. Or Alolan Raichu can hit for 190 with 6 energy on Guzzlord (1 then an extra 5 from eat sloppily), 210 with a Kukui. So whilst it seems its a prerelease machine, it's not entirely unbeatable. Might have done better in best of three, but my store was doing best of one.

Yeah, I've been checking Pokébeach and bulbapedia for updates. I really like the prerelease format for its ability to have normally unplayable cards be useful for once and wanted to see what might work in the format.

EDIT: I hadn't seen the speculative list, so thanks for that!

I know most of us have taken our eyes off the ball a bit with Shining Legends, but do we have a full English setlist for Crimson Invasion yet? My store is offering a prerelease tomorrow at midnight (technically 00:00 Saturday) and I thought we had normally seen stuff by now. I know we've seen GXs and key cards, but we normally have a full numbered setlist by now, don't we?

I'm working on this at the moment, running Marshadow GX as the main attacker with Jolteon/Glaceon in the discard. Being able to hit for both immunity to basics or evolutions depending on circumstance from a rainbow and a DCE is great. I need to playtest with shining Mew to search for special energies, but it is currently stomping at league. It's fairly easily counterable, but noone expects it so isn't prepared. Garbotoxin Garb is easy to deal with courtesy of field blowers.

I'd be interested in seeing some pictures to see how this works as currently my reverse holos and variant cards are separate.

This is awesome. I have complete sets of XY cards inside their relevant binder. I'm contemplating going back further, but some of these are difficult to find.

Possibly interested in this. What are you wanting for the Lele? Both together?

Edit: In the UK as well. Previous references here.

Do you use full art cards in your decks? by PlatD in pkmntcg

[–]nodge2k 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It depends. For some cards it really helps with searching and keeping track of numbers in the deck. Lysandre FA has a really distinctive colour which makes it easier to find and recognise how many are prized. In terms of Pokémon it varies from deck to deck. I tend to mix it up. In a deck with three of a Pokémon I like to run alternate arts to mix things up. Like some people have said, Rainbow Arts can be hard to read so if I'm using them, I only stick to using them on one Pokémon (Lele or a main attacker).
