    What is the best way to practice new decks for Pokemon?

    AFAIK you can create decks for playing quickplay games without restrictions, however it isn't up to date on format, so there is no steam siege yet.

    Discussion Garbodor has arrived on PTCGO

    I have played various decks against it and the truth is that trying to block it is nigh on impossible without Garbodor. I don't think I have seen a good deck ever brick if they hit froakie? If someone can get past the Frogadier stage it wins. With its low energy cost, replication and ability...

    Discussion Garbodor has arrived on PTCGO

    Honestly can't say I'm sorry I was tired of every almost every game being greninjas and it being almost impossible to stop without garbodor, with the new giratina out to target it too, it should make it so that only good Greninja players actually play it. (It seemed to have become the "easy" win...

    Standard Mega Gardevoir Game Changer?

    The trouble with Octillery is that it eats up a lot of your deck space, for no major benefit (except cost) vs Shaymin. In other decks Shaymin hitting the bench is an issue so Octillery can sit and draw late game, but in Gard you don't have the same problem. Id much rather have two shaymin and...

    Discussion Unlucky Coincidence or Event Match Play?

    Haha, yeah. No these were first rounds, I won one. Greninja break probably gets hit less as its grass weak? V few players hitting Grass atm. No I dont have a steel deck might try one though! I managed one "blank", Gardevoir vs Greninja Break, which I lost due to bad early draws, and went down...

    I did have a Volcanion/greninja round too, which I won largely down to them drawing bad

    Discussion Unlucky Coincidence or Event Match Play?

    I'm not suggesting it's against me, a small sampling size of 7 last night is not really a viable size to judge from. Of course I would expect over a long period any system to even out, I was interested whether there was a bias toward matching weaknesses, it is possible that of course in the next...

    New Player - Looking For Some General Advice

    There isn't a browser version of TCG that I am aware of. The app though is generally very good and available for android/ios, mac and windows. I would suggest go watching some videos from the net, there are plenty of good ones. Or you can run the tutorials in the app, they take you through the...

    Is There a New Japanese Promo that Could Kill BREAKs in Future?

    It is a basic card, so its own ability (to block other abilities) can be shut down by Silent Lab, which wouldn't affect the Greninja line. It does mean you will be forced to counter it though, I imagine a lot of people like me who hate playing Greninja will be using it!

    Discussion Unlucky Coincidence or Event Match Play?

    So I usually play VS ladder, but after last month I had built up a healthy ticket balance so decided to play a bit of tournament Standard. The first 2 events I ran M Gardevoir, and faced two steel decks (I never see steel any other time, expect the odd Lucario), I then played a Volcanion deck...

    Standard Solid Volcanion/Volcanion EX deck!

    Another test is to get Blaziken swapped for Flareon it is less consistent but allows you to pull energy from the discard for the mid game.

    Standard Solid Volcanion/Volcanion EX deck!

    It is always worth testing variations out. I might also be tempted to try swapping scorched earth for skyfield if running hoopa.

    Volcanion-EX Deck! Any suggestions?

    While I like Flareon, I might be tempted to drop it in this deck as I am not sure it adds value to the premise? If you wanted an EX I might consider Blaziken. This allows you to pull energy out of the discard pile to power it up after the first two energy? Or maybe one Flareon/one Blaiken to...

    Standard Solid Volcanion/Volcanion EX deck!

    I'd be tempted to start with a Hoopa-ex, I love Volcanion but it suffers from being pretty slow. Getting Hoopa out allows you to pick up the Volc-Exs and get even the basic attacks running at 90-120 early

    Standard Non EX/BREAK Budget Deck Help for a Tournament

    Ones that spring to mind: Talonflame/bunny/slowking - denial/mill deck Regice decks Typhlosion - with no EX you are going to want to hit early on decks like Yanmega then add in the 3 fire attack to finish off
