    New “Deluxe Battle Decks” Featuring Meowscarada ex and Quaquaval ex!

    I didn't notice Quaquaval lacked Boss. That's definitely something. I was thinking of things from outside the head-to-head, where the Quaquaval deck can be upgraded to Chien Pao. Meowscarada is a cool card, so I think it'd still be fun to play. Hopefully it isn't as one sided out-of-the-box as...

    TCG Fakes Base Set Evolution

    The image issue was enough of a bother that I've taken the time to set up an entire gitpages site to rehost everything. (It's very barebones html, but it can be found here, including ways to see just the images in a gallery or to view the sets with explanation text very similar to the...

    TCG Fakes Base Set Evolution

    Yeah, I'm not sure why :/ They're just imgur links, and they load when I enter the Edit Post section I've included the link to the albums in a couple of posts so readers can at least see the cards by switching around, but the image issue is frustrating enough that I'm actually working on making...

    TCG Fakes Base Set Evolution

    I'll be using Post #11 as a conglomerate post for players to see changes over time, but when a card gets a redesign, I'll also make a separate post to catalog things as we go. Today's major change is Psyduck. Water Gun was a solid 20-for-1 attack, but as a confused lil boi, I saw an opportunity...

    Clefairy, Clefable, & Hitmonchan from ‘Pokemon Card 151’!

    Hitmonchan isn't competitive at all, but it is the kind of card I like. I think it'd fit well in a single prize cube as a very respectable big basic. It's also fun to compare it to Base Set Machamp and laugh at how the game has progressed.

    TCG Fakes Base Set Rebalanced (feat. Jungle and Fossil)

    Finally caught up entirely on this thread. Great job with everything, it's really clear a lot of thought went into it and that you have a disciplined approach to designing the cards. I see the more recent posts cover v1.1, the retreat changes, and then 1.6; were there other balance changes made...

    TCG Fakes Base Set Evolution

    Post #5 has been completed, and thus the entire 237 card set has been posted. Here are the Lunar Eclipse starter decks. Use NidoranF's Call for Family to get your bench full, then bring out the King and Queen. Rare Candy and Viridian Forest help get your first Stage 2 on the board, and then...

    TCG Fakes Base Set Evolution

    I've been thinking about whether or not to change any core gameplay mechanics. For example, should Pokémon maintain their Status Conditions after retreating to the bench? I'm still mulling it over, but one potential rule change has been sticking out in my mind recently. What do people think of...

    Aerodactyl and Old Amber Fossil from “Pokemon Card 151!”

    Yeah, that's more or less the point I was getting at. Devolution can have a place, but it isn't this meta and Aerodactyl certainly isn't it. When I say the card isn't terrible, I mean it in the same way that Battle Styles Fearow isn't terrible; it stands out and makes me think "I could find a...

    TCG Fakes Base Set Evolution

    Post #4 has been updated with the most recent pass of cards from Journey! As such, I've brewed up 3 new Starter Decks. Some other decks that didn't make the cut this time include Withdraw, Big Eggplosion, and Paralysis Lock. I didn't intentionally make 2 of the decks Fighting/Psychic, but the...

    Aerodactyl and Old Amber Fossil from “Pokemon Card 151!”

    I agree with a "not terrible" assessment. Devolution has a valid place in the game--some decks unironically ran Ancient TM Machine Rock, but it's a lot rougher with the big HP on multi-prizers. Basically useless on VSTAR Pokémon and just generally less valuable than a format where 1 KO = 1 KO...

    TCG Fakes A New Set!

    Are these cards being designed as a stand-alone product, or is it being designed within the context of Standard format? Iron Bundle is an interesting one; assuming the attack does nothing if you have fewer than 5 cards in hand, it could be tough to consistently be setting it up without losing...

    TCG Fakes Base Set Evolution

    Thanks for taking the time to check the cards out! I knew I wanted a Ronald card, but I'm not sure if I'm doing it justice by just making him a buffed Steven's Advice / Erika's Hospitality. The flavor idea here was "if the rival [opponent] plays a lot of cards, you'll rise to the challenge by...
