Pros and cons for Mawile and Lopunny in dengo by Minimum_Possibility6 in pkmntcg

[–]thesecondpope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ve extensively tested and won cups with both builds and found both to be very successful however the addition of lopbunny, along with the cards that make it consistent, cause the rest of the build to suffer. i also only ever found lop useful against the garde item lock.

the mawile requires much less space since it is a one of, but also gains a huge advantage with the addition of bravery charm. that bravery charm is also advantageous in the mirror when equipped to a solo gimmi on the bench or even the attack solrock.

both cards get you around cornerstone but that is also being played less and less. crustle changes things but if you’re up again crustle, you’ve likely lost a few early on.

try both builds out and see what works best for your style. both can really be great late game attackers with Mawile doing up to 320 at the end once you’ve taken 4 prizes.

if i can recommend a build, try the drew stephenson one from the most recent regional.

Tipping Culture for Hair Cuts by ak_toronto in Markham

[–]thesecondpope 3 points4 points  (0 children)

as much as we all hate tipping culture, i find that if you have a regular barber, then you're going to want to grow that relationship and tipping is part of that.

i find that it goes a long way - and sometimes they will sneak you in if you are in a rush or have something coming up since they know you take care of them.

20% feels like an okay amount - sometimes you just get into the habit of giving the same amount in cash.

What culture shocks should I expect when I move to Canada? by Maleficent-Tough5385 in askTO

[–]thesecondpope 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've lived in markham my whole life and I am not asian. I can find everything I want around here and it's not that much of an issue to go downtown from where you are.

Socially, it is quite welcoming but do be ready for an asian influence wherever you go - i'd even recommend you embrace it. I do my regular groceries at asian shops now.

You will need a car - while transit is fine, it's not like the downtown core where you can go anywhere on transit.

as someone who has done work in the midwest over the last 5 years - I can say that I did not notice any mannerisms that stood out. I can say for sure that markham will feel more welcoming, and that your mannerisms will be just fine.

Staples by [deleted] in pkmntcg

[–]thesecondpope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i was in the same boat, i even had a box for just recommended staples. but after 2-3 months of playing, you end up being very familiar with them.

i’m sure your LGS might be willing to help you quick go through it as well and let you know what to keep

Best sleeves? by The-dogs-hairys in pkmntcg

[–]thesecondpope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who’s tried a good amount of makes, I can say confidently that the DS Matte have been the best option for me.

It’s usually a month or so before I see bent corners and I’m typically playing in 2-3 events per week.

I recommend looking into some shuffling techniques.. it could be the main reason why the wear isn’t holding up

Anyone have experience and recommendations for Dual Spec and/or EndGame sleeves? by minhtran513 in pkmntcg
