    News Japan's SM3 Sets for the 20th Movie Feature Ho-Oh and Necrozma!

    Do you think Seviper could make its way into the Accelgor Deck and Cover deck? That deck doesn't have a lot of open slots, and I'm not sure what you'd cut to make room. However, if you could get 4 on the Bench + Trevenant, that would be living the dream. It would help speed that deck up as far...

    News Lunala-GX and Solgaleo-GX from the 'Legends of Alola Tins!'

    Wait, a BREAKthrough pack? Why skip over Steam Siege? If anything, skip Evolutions, because that set was garbage.

    News 'Islands Waiting for You' and 'Moonlight of Alola': Japan's Next Sun and Moon TCG Set!

    Thank goodness for that Oracle reprint. I'm building a Pokemon cube and I wanted that card, but it's kind of hard to find and a little pricey. Now I have a way better option.

    OH MAN, IF YOU PAIRED THIS WITH GREEDY DIE YOU'D HAVE...two highly unpredictable cards that are more likely to screw you over than help you out. Still, the possibility is there, and someone is going to try it.

    '2016 World Championship's Deck' Product Images!

    These decks are great for playing with friends and more casual players. A lot of us just want to build fun decks, so being able to get the cards for cheap is great. Will definitely pick up at least one.

    News First 'Sun & Moon' English Set News!

    While I like the idea of Pokemon GX evolving, I think it actually causes the same problem that EX Pokemon were meant to fix: why bother with a Gumshoos GX when I can play Snorlx GX, so I don't have to worry about evolving a Pokemon? It's a flaw inherent in the game, where you have Basic Pokemon...

    P!P/Rules Are prize cards a good mechanic for a TCG?

    I play A LOT of card games, and one thing that Pokemon has over every other card game is the ability to get the card you need when you need it. Cards like Skyla, Steven, Pokemon Fan Club, etc, all allow you to grab the cards you need with relative ease. This is unheard of in other card games. In...

    Alolan Forms, New Pokemon, Island Challenges, and Z-Moves in 'Sun' and 'Moon'!

    Yeah, it feels like Z Moves will take the place of that. Or, if they don't... that is gonna be a mess. Mega Z moves for auto KO?

    Blog The Elusive Shaymin-EX in the PTCGO

    I grinded for weeks on PTCGO, getting coins to open Roaring Skies packs before I got my first one. I got a second a short while later just randomly. Solid advice in this article, and good tips for newbies.

    Japan's XY11: 'Explosive Fighter / Cruel Traitor', CP5: 'Mythical / Legendary Dream Holo Collection'

    The card itself is bad, but the concept is interesting. This is the first Pokemon card I can recall that has an effect when it is taken as a Prize. For the most part, Pokemon steers away from situation-based effects like "When this card is discarded do X" "If this is the first card you've drawn...

    Definitely getting it. I love the box and sleeve designs, the Energy is great, and getting that many Generations Packs is a sweet. If only they had included a different Shaymin EX...then this puppy would be like $100 MSRP.

    Japan's XY11: 'Explosive Fighter / Cruel Traitor', CP5: 'Mythical / Legendary Dream Holo Collection'

    D'Oh. Sorry, you're right, I get Psychic and Fairy confused because they both look like the same color to me.

    Japan's XY11: 'Explosive Fighter / Cruel Traitor', CP5: 'Mythical / Legendary Dream Holo Collection'

    I love the idea of bringing Dual type back. What I love even more is that even though Volcanion is Fire/Water, his attack only uses one kind of energy. That means he is more versatile. I've always hated the way Weakness and Resistance played out in the card games, because if you were playing a...

    Rowlet, Litten, Popplio from the Alola Region!

    I am naming the bat Legendary Bruce, and every time I send him out I am screaming "I am the night!" I didn't play the last round of games, because none of the Pokemon designs really appealed to me, but I'm definitely back on board for these guys. Rowlet is too cute!

    News Mythical Pokemon Collections

    Very interested in this box. Generations is a...unique set to say the least. The limited supply has definitely done weird things to the market. Curious to see how this increased supply deals with the demand.
