    Why I'm Quitting the TCG

    Ok, I first wanted to quit the TCG in around October or November of last year due to my parents deciding that all the days I could play pokemon that month and a half were free for me, despite them knowing full well they were NOT. Now it has reached a new low for me, and the TCG, a time which is...

    Due to me hoarding money like crazy and my parents owing me over $100, I have about $250ish to spend, this $250 instead of being spent on a Wii U and 0 games minus, Pokken Tournament which I got just for a guaranteed shadow mewtwo amiibo card and gamestop preorder poster earlier this month, OR I...

    Deck Lists for League Challenge and States

    Hi, I have a LC coming up soon, on Sunday, and then there's states the weekend after and I honestly don't have a half way decent deck to play at either. I can build everything in Standard except toad, houndoom, entei, and any deck requiring 4 yveltal EX and 2+ Darkrai EX. I pretty much have 4 of...

    Debate: the Robin Hood Moral Paradox

    I hope this is ok to post here as I'm not sure where else to put it, but I am really curious to see where this goes. The Robin Hood moral paradox is one similar to the one for Death Note (I didn't put that one up here as it's likely too dark for pb), where you have two groups of people, the...

    Discussion XY9: The Set That Throws Balance Out the Window?

    I make this thread because I've been playing for 6 years competitively and have NEVER seen a set that releases this many OP cards at once, I've seen bad formats, balanced formats, a combination of the two (BW-Boundaries crossed as there was landorus + lasers and Mewtwo EX, which was expensive to...

    Collecting Keeping Cards in Top Condition

    In the state that I live in the weather this past month has been so random that I've had to turn on the AC the night after it was cold enough to make me consider putting on a sweater to bathe, this is obviously bad for cards as I inevitably found out that a bunch of mine have curled out from the...

    Card + Money Dilemma, What Do I Do With $50 for a deck for Cities?

    Let me start off by saying that I know $50 is a lot of money to some people, and I luckily, somehow got $90 in a day due to me getting really lucky with a small job opportunity which somehow managed to fit into my very busy schedule. Real point of the thread is below. I have $50, to spend on...

    Ruling Tyrantrum EX vs Focus Sash

    me and someone who has been logically citing the compendium for rulings have bee debating on weather or not tyrantrum's ability would allow it to ko a fighting type pokemon that's at full health and has focus sash on it.

    Cards to Hoard/Preorder Hard for XY8

    What uncommonish cards do you think will be super tradable in XY 8 By this I mean small cards that are uncommon but will be tradable like VS seeker, GPF, or Birch's observations.

    Ruling Card Protector vs Stuff on the Back of the Card

    As long as I have a card protector on the back of a card that has some marker on it and the card protector is opaque can I still play the card at a tournament?

    Discussion Tyrantrum EX in Standard XY 8

    I don't know how many of you noticed this card existing but I see it being very easy to use and very good. It has 180 HP is dragon type with a fairy weakness and 3 retreat cost. However it's attack and ability are really interesting and quite viable. The ability basically has any effects that...

    Discussion How Will They Break This Card? Smeargle XY8 in Expanded

    If you haven't heard about it yet Smeargle in XY8 is an amazing card. It has 70 hp 1 retreat cost and one of the best abilities on a basic non EX pokemon I've seen in quite a while: Recoat. Which reads "once per turn you may swap a basic energy card on your active pokemon for one of a different...

And for my second question, assuming I only...
