    'World Down' and 'Legendary Heartbeat,' Japan's Summer Sets Introducing Amazing Rares!

    Rayquaza Rainbow - My guess is that you would play rainbow patch from next set and metal saucer to accelerate different types of energy. I would assume you that Rayquaza and Jirachi would be played together, although it might be possible to accelerate to Rayquaza with just other cards (i.e...

    'World Down' and 'Legendary Heartbeat,' Japan's Summer Sets Introducing Amazing Rares!

    Sorry I didn't make that clear, I edited my original post to try to clarify the confusion based on your comment, but yeah in the end it doesn't really matter because in standard almost every deck plays 4 switch and a lot of decks play 2-4 scoop up nets on top of that. So easy to get out of...

    'World Down' and 'Legendary Heartbeat,' Japan's Summer Sets Introducing Amazing Rares!

    Gotta disagree with you on this one. This card is just straight trash. No one will play this card except maybe in stall decks, and even then I can't see it. Let me provide a few reasons why it is bad. If you disagree that's totally fine, just providing my observations. First, it isn't the...

    'Pokemon Players Cup' Online Tournament Announced by TPCi!

    I just looked at the entire post on Pokémon.com and there was nothing about Juniors and Seniors. Not sure where you are getting your information. Only Masters Division players who have opted in to participating in all available Play! Pokémon programs are eligible to participate in the Play...

    'Pokemon Players Cup' Online Tournament Announced by TPCi!

    Out of curiosity, how is it any different for masters? The age thing may not be a problem, but cheating is bound to be rampant in this kind of format. You could have several players playing as one and all helping keep track of things while one player is actually playing. They should be...

    'Pokemon Players Cup' Online Tournament Announced by TPCi!

    Juniors totally jilted as well. I have two kids who play (one senior and one junior). Thanks TPCI for not including them. I guarantee after the long break numbers of juniors and seniors still playing competitively is going to sink due to so much inactivity. You would think they would want to...

    'World Down' and 'Legendary Heartbeat,' Japan's Summer Sets Introducing Amazing Rares!

    Yeah, sucks that you can't chain them. I think that will reduce the amount we would play in Standard. In Expanded some decks play 4 Shaymin, and with scoop up net you could go crazy on turn 1 setup. Crobat is definitely good for standard, but not as good as Shaymin in expanded.

    'Eruption Walker' Japan's Mini-Set for April!

    Yeah sorry, I assumed that would be played as a 3-4 count of and used on turns where you couldn't play will (i.e. need to play a draw supporter or perhaps boss' orders to trap something in the active). All in all I think this card has the ability to be at least a tier 2 archetype and maybe even...

    'Eruption Walker' Japan's Mini-Set for April!

    That Toxtricity is totally broken. Don't forget you get cursed shovel as well to add an extra 2 cards every time one is knocked out, and you can use twin energy to power it up. If you are running Will/Pal Pad you could easily mill them out before they get prizes. Assuming you got 3...

    Discussion 2021 Rotation

    Yeah I don't think we will see events that use standard until possibly July at the earliest, and that is pretty optimistic. Could be more realistic to see no having new events until October or later. It's funny you mention getting product as we are in a state in the US that is locked down, so...

    Discussion 2021 Rotation

    You must not play much then. Dragonite GX has seen a good bit of play in Mewbox (which is tier 1 at the moment), Granbull has been off and on with a lot of people playing it on YouTube videos, Lele in spread decks, and Pachirisu in Nuzzlechu, just to name a few of those. I haven't been at a...

    Discussion 2021 Rotation

    I was trying to keep it to cards that mostly see competitive play. A lot of the ones you mentioned I have on my personal list, but didn't include on the list I put up on this post. You did catch a few I missed though. I will add them to the list. Namely Lusamine, Solgaleo-GX promo, Tate &...

    Discussion 2021 Rotation

    Yeah, that large a collection of sets would create problems down the road. Hopefully I caught most of the important cards on what I think rotation will be. It will definitely be different, but nowhere near as painful as last year's rotation.

    Discussion 2021 Rotation

    So I realize nothing official has been announced about rotation, but I and a lot of other people still believe it will happen. There are a number of reasons. First, to keep the format fresh. Second, to minimize complications in rulings between varying sets. Third, to keep the blocks of cards...

    Worlds and 2020 Season Cancelled, Points Will Roll Over to Next Year

    Probably PTCGO for play would be best means. Sounds like a cool idea as most people have just stopped playing given the current conditions. My kids and I are already working on rotation and next season because we know there likely won't be any events till at earliest July when the new Pokémon...

    Worlds and 2020 Season Cancelled, Points Will Roll Over to Next Year

    Thanks, yeah I am probably going to have to go to court against them. Sucks that some people are being totally unreasonable.

    Worlds and 2020 Season Cancelled, Points Will Roll Over to Next Year

    Stuck trying to get a refund on plane tickets right now. American Air is being dumb and refuses to give any type of refund even with COVID-19 going on worldwide.

    Discussion Worlds Canceled?

    Yeah, going to be a lot of interesting questions coming out of this. Are point totals for 2021 higher than 2020? Do age ups still happen (I would assume they would)? What about stipends? Going to be interesting to see what information they provide in the future. Still hoping they also lock...

    Discussion Worlds Canceled?

    Yeah my thought on the cancelation isn't how much or how little COVID-19 is affecting the world at that point, but whether or not TPCI can even sort through the mess of how to deal with all the canceled challenges/cups/regionals/internationals. I seriously doubt online due to cheating, and...
