It’s a shame the second attack doesn’t cost [G][C][C]. Go second, use Tatsugiri’s ‘Mise en Place’, pass turn. Sacrifice the Tatsugiri, attach a grass energy and defiance band, and swing for 210 on your second turn. I’m sure N’s Rhyperior will tell us all (in very few words) how worthless this...

ALL HAIL THE KING

And once again, I make a Vespiquen deck

My time has come

Chinese "Five Phases", or five elements (fire, wood, metal, water, earth) Chi-Yu : Fire fish (flame body) Wo-Chien: Wood snail (leaves, vines, wooden slats) Chein-Pao: Water weasel (ice crystals on body, watery fu-manchu mustache) Ting-Lu: Earth moose / elk (rock striations in body, rock...

- Looks like lightning types are back on the menu, boys! - This set features our first true spider Pokémon (8 legs) - Unlike MTG, the artwork on cards keeps getting better and better - I will definitely make a full foil Dondozo deck All in all, Gen 9 looks like it’s off to an amazing start...

Koraidan’s ability ramps fighting energy, and with stone breastplate a OHKO now needs 260 damage. I wouldn’t say Koraidon is neglected.

I love every single one of these changes, even though I was excited for the return of ex’s, because I thought that would benefit expanded’s heavy EX theme…guess not. I think this will be series where I start collecting.

Booster packs have been $4.49 at Target and $4.99 at my LGS for almost two years now. I honestly don’t remember ever seeing boosters at $3.99…so I wouldn’t call it greed. A 50 cent increase makes sense with the cost increase in global production and distribution.

Pros: -The new energy cards look great -Return to the mid 2010s EX art style Cons: -MASSIVE power creep…330hp EX that only gives up 2 prize cards is insane. I remember when Zapdos/Moltres/Articuno Tag Team was 300hp and people lost it over how huge that was. VMAX territory was 300hp+ and...

The sleeves are decent, but I really like the coin, promo supporters, and dedicated deck box. Hopefully we see something for Boss’ Orders soon!

When I saw Articuno in the spoilers list (before Silver Tempest officially hit shelves) I knew it was going to be meta worthy. I haven’t had a chance to play it in any tournaments yet but I’m glad to see I was right. It might not last long at or near the top, but at least it made an...

My first thought was Gumshoos doesn’t look anything like HRC lol

Personal politics aside, I honestly didn’t appreciate that reference. I thought Pokébeach was better than that. Anywho, I see quite a few mini themes in this set. I’m sure very few will be viable outside pre-release format, but you never know. Stonjurner looks like a better version of the...

I think his comment was slightly exaggerated satire.

Ghastly, Haunter, Spiritomb, Phantump, Trevenant, Duskull, Dusclops, Gourgeist…imagine an international Pokémon community which has to deal with a country in which certain cards are banned for cultural reasons.

Good point!

Don’t get me wrong, a price increase to $70 when players are used to much less can be upsetting, but I do chuckle when I read about “expensive” Pokémon. I have individual MTG cards which are more expensive than entire. PTCG tier 1 decks. That’s one thing I’ve always enjoyed about Pokémon- it’s...

Only $70? I hope none of these folks decide to take up MTG.
