    “Temporal Forces” Has Hardest Pull Rates of Scarlet & Violet Sets for Highest Rarities

    will harder pull rates even increase the price values that much? i feel like this will only significantly increase the price of highly sought-after cards that only appear once every few sets (i.e. iono illustration rare, lugia v alternate art). for the rest of the rare, but not valuable cards...

    Morpeko from “Crimson Haze!”

    i think this card is good card design, but unfortunately it's definitely not competitively viable. even if you're playing a very slow deck, there's just too many fast methods of acceleration and drawing that outclass this morpeko. i love the art, though

    Magcargo ex from “Crimson Haze”

    oh yeah fs, this is looking like it'll be a funny meme deck at least. if you don't get the damage boost, hitting for 140 damage still isn't the WORST thing in the world. it is kind of odd that we're going back to a mono tera type. i guess the idea is that mono tera type cards hit harder...

    Magcargo ex from “Crimson Haze”

    magma basin is a fine stadium, but you can only use its effect to accelerate one energy per turn (unlike flaaffy or dark patch). it also very easily gets bumped by lost vacuum, other stadiums, etc. charizard ex only provides a one-time acceleration of energy, and not a consistent energy engine...

    Magcargo ex from “Crimson Haze”

    the fact that you're forced on using your supporter for turn on what essentially is a damage booster, that you can only use on the end of your turn before you attack. not being able to use boss's orders or iono during your turn, because you had to use a different supporter to hit more damage...

    “Pokemon TCG Pocket” Immersive Collecting App Coming in 2024!

    i was mad confused when this first got announced an hour ago but looking at it now, it makes more sense with pokemon go and pokemon masters ex being fairly complete mobile projects, the next generation of pokemon mobile games has been going on (starting with pokemon sleep) this honestly...

    Infernape Line, Pinsir, and New Illustration Rares Revealed from “Crimson Haze!”

    i feel like this perspective defeats the purpose of conversations around game balance to begin with? anything can be broken in a vacuum, especially something that SEEMS super powerful like rain dance. however, the reality is that mechanics are only as good as the support surrounding it. that's...

    Worlds 2026 To Be Held in San Francisco!

    san francisco is fine i'm still really not a fan of next worlds being in hawaii, given how tourism has historically debilitated local and indigenous communities in hawaii, but it is what it is

    Van Gogh Pikachu Promos Being Pre-Scalped in the Netherlands, Another Botched Release Feared

    LGSs are still important parts of the TCG, because they're one of the few sources for in-person community gathering, but it shouldn't be super surprising that LGSs are resorting to these business tactics. they're doing what they can to get ahead, and while it can be upsetting, this isn't...

    “Stellar Miracle” Trademark Filed for the Pokemon TCG!

    this would definitely be cool in terms of collectability, but on a competitive level, a lot would have to be done in order for this kind of mechanic to be both (1) not useless and (2) not broken the crystal types in gen 2, as we know, were historically some of the worst cards in pokemon tcg...

    Buddy Poffin from “Wild Force” and “Cyber Judge!”

    WOW this card is broken lol it is good that you cant grab big basic pokemon from this card, such as two-prizers and relevant radiant pokemon. in theory, this helps stage 2 decks catch up with big basic decks in terms of speed. that being said, this is gonna make lost zone and charizard ex...

    Walking Wake ex, Iron Leaves ex, and More Revealed from “Wild Force” and “Cyber Judge!”

    the problem is that accelerating energy to it will be difficult, and youd have to consume a lot of resources to pull off the combo you mentioned here. where at that point, that amount of damage can easily done by other decks for less resources

    “Mabosstiff ex Box” Revealed for February!

    we can now put mabosstiff ex on the list of paldean pokemon to get an ex! i like the artwork of this card a lot, it'll slide into a binder quite nicely unfortunately, it's not looking like this card will be very good competitively. it does have a few things going for it ~ hitting 220 damage is...
