    Help How do I beat baby Metagross decks with Spread?

    I'm being serious too. Maybe it's the PTCGO being rigged against me but it seems like every time I play my spread deck, I get paired up against something with stuff specifically able to beat it, like Metagross. So how do I beat Metagross with spread? I think spread is the best choice in this...

    Discussion I Don't Understand PTCGO and their Pairing System

    It seems that every time I go in for a game, I get matched with someone who has the EXACT counter to my deck every time. Why does this happen? Am I cursed?

    Discussion Buzzwole after Rotation. Still a Contender or Fallen off the Wayside?

    I just invested in Buzzwoles and am hoping it sticks around because it hasn't been out for very long it seems like. Just took it to a league challenge and swept everyone with it with ease. I like Volcanion as a deck when I first started, and Buzzwole feels like Volcanion 2.0. I know it losses...

    Discussion Turn 1 Elixir fest from opponent. Auto lose?

    I have been on more elxir fest turns (multiple elixir hits in one turn) than anyone else I know and it just sucks. They get Dawn Wings, blow me up, I have no response, then set up Dawn Wings following turn for GX attack. That nets me 3 prizes total. Sadly, I was too far behind on prizes and so I...

    Help Not sure what to do as it pertains to playing the card game physically.

    Most of the time, I am unable to attend events due to having to work a lot and so I relied on having a friend to playtest in person with for when I could go to the events. Now, it seems like my "friend" has turned on me to the point where he will not play vs me at all, as if he is scared or...

    Discussion How do People do Well With Buzzwole?

    I'm currently 4-7 with an exact copy of Azuls list. And I want to try to play this deck more but this is a pure netdeck and i'm 4-7 with it which discourages me even further. My friend took it to a regionals and went 0-5-1 with it. My friend went 4-4-1 with Bulu in EXPANDED at his first...

    Help Interesting dilemma for me. I have no interest in the new set. Do I NEED to buy cards from it?

    Seems like only the Malamar/Ultra Necrosma, and Buzzwole support are the only stuff meaningful from the set but I have zero interest in ever playing with those decks. So should I buy the new set like a booster box? And will it hurt if I don't? Honestly, it's pretty bad if you are forced to play...

    Help Trying to Make Dusk Mane work.

    its the only deck I’ll play because I'm not a fan of Zoroark or Buzzwole decks. (My friend went 0-5-1 at a regionals with Buzzwole deck so that makes me skeptical of playing it since he's not a terrible player by any means.) I figure Dusk Mane is good because it's the same deck as Bulu pretty...

    Discussion What do You Guys do for Playmats? And is There a Thing as Having Too Many?

    For me, I am a sucker for the cool artwork on a lot of the playmats and so I often buy quite a bit of them. I have no shame in saying so but am curious how everyone else approaches playmats and what they do with them. (Like store them, display them, etc.) My issue is not having a good way to...

    Standard Looking For Help In Solidifying My Dusk Mane/Magenzone Deck.

    Hello everyone. I have been playing Dusk Mane Necrozma for around 40 games and have around a 66% win percentage. (not sure if that's a good enough win ratio to be considered good with a deck). I really like the way the deck plays and have been trying to make it as consistent as possible. This...

    Discussion Wouldn't it be cool if they had the option to choose/use playmats for PTCGO?

    Instead of the common layout currently, each player can have their own playmat obtained from a code given with each mat made or just the ones buyable in the ptcgo shop. Idk, sounds weird i'm sure but i thought it was a neat idea and I hope it happens someday lol.

    Help I can't win with anything and it's nothing to do with me. Hear me out and help.

    I'm just drawing like crap or never having outs to situations in a game. Like having Field Blower for Garbotoxin or a Fury Belt that saves someone from a knock out. It's just frustrating and i'm on the verge of quitting because I can't find the answer. I shuffle well, I play the cards I am given...

    Discussion Is playing the game only online worth it?

    I've had numerous bad experiences playing in person and honestly, I just try to avoid playing in person if I can. Whether it's someone trying to ridicule my card choices in my deck, my game play, or a situation like this past fall with 2 top players played judge and got me a warning when i did...

    Discussion Is ZoroPod not good anymore? Seems like people write it off in lieu of Lycanroc variants.

    I get that Lycanroc variants are good but ZoroPod can still be a force to deal with. In fact, my version of it plays Parallel Cities to help my matchups and in mirrors too. Idk, maybe i'm wrong here but Zoropod is still top deck in format to me anyways.

    Tournament Had an "interesting" league challenge experience.

    I was there with some friends and then we find out Igor Costa and Jimmy Pendarvis are there. No big deal, I like a challenge. So I'm 2-0 and paired with a local Gardy player in a mirror match. In the middle of the game, I make a sequence of plays where I: Super-Rod 3 cards back in, Premonition...

    Discussion I Hope Gardevoir Gets Banned. I Seriously think it's too Overpowered.

    I can't even beat it with Metagross which is supposed to be an auto win. Pretty much says it all right there. I pulled Gardevoirs out of the box I got a while back but probably am just gonna trade them because I never have any luck with that deck. I always whiff energies, etc for knock outs and...

    Discussion Is Raichu GX and Magnetic Circuit Magnezone a viable deck?

    Seems like it could be but I wanted to ask before buying Raichu's. Or at least get opinions on what potential partners would be for the deck. Because I believe Raichu is definitely a usable card.

    Discussion Isn't getting better through practicing and playtesting?

    Because my friend never seems to want to yet insists on going to these regionals coming up. It's frustrating because he doesn't get it. He has no grasp on the meta, makes no effort to learn about decks other than seeing them in person, etc. Unfortunately, he's the only friend I know that plays...

    Discussion Why is Gardevoir so hard to play? Even with good starts, I still lose.

    3-6 recently with the deck but with Golisopod i'm like 17-8. I think what that says is that Golisopod is just the better deck this format?
