Admittedly it would be neat if they would include some different things - sleeves, energy, and dice can only go so far.

If it's anything like the Shiny M Gengar EX that Japan's getting (and, with some hope, we'll get as well), I doubt it.

But you can always buy them from resellers like Troll and Toad.

I just recently started playing TCGO so I don't know how new sets are rolled in. If I save up a bunch of tokens before phantom forces I should be able to splurge on packs in the store right? Do they always only put in the shitty 5 card packs in the token store?

And do they also put the new sets in TCGO day 1?

Yes, a lot of folks do that for upcoming sets.

>Do they always only put in the shitty 5 card packs in the token store?

Sadly, yes. The only exception to this was LTR due to the packs are structured.

>And do they also put the new sets in TCGO day 1?

The TCGO staff tries to add sets on release day, but the maintenance that adds the sets (which is always on release day) to the client is usually extended by a day or two.

Guys, rate my deck? If needed, I can change my deck to something more top-tier, I think I can get 20 FuF packs, tops, if I trade my rarest cards and then I can use those to purchase whatever.

The list:

Pokemon: 16
4 Meloetta-EX
1 Mew-EX
4-4-1 Seismitoad (Palpitoad and Seismitoad w/Round) (I don't have more seismis, I'd add more if I had them)
1 Seismitoad EX
1 Sigilyph w/Safeguard

Trainers: 29
2 Escape Rope
1 Evosoda (I don't have more)
2 Great Ball
2 Random Receiver
2 Roller Skates
1 Startling Megaphone (only one)
2 Switch
3 Cheren
2 Colress
2 Lysandre
2 N
2 Juniper
2 Hard Charm
2 Muscle Band

Energies: 15
4 DCE
11 Psychic

Strategy: Fill the bench with Round users and do a huge bunch of damage. Mew is there to replicate Seismitoad and for general versatility. Hard Charm helps the deck given most Pokemon are fragile as fuck and Sigilyph is an anti-EX tech. Seismitoad is also a tech to put pressure on my opponent and stall while I load everything behind.

You definitely want 3 more copies of Seismitoad, he's the main attacker in this deck.

Your Supporter lineup is weak. You definitely want 4 copies of Juniper or Sycamore in your deck, generally 4 copies of N as well but he's not that cheap if you don't have more. Cheren is awful, get rid of him for Shaunas if you can't afford to bump up your N count to 4. Replace Great Balls with Ultra Balls, they are guaranteed to get you something unlike a Great Ball.

The deck is pretty bad, yea. But it is cheap. Seismitoad can be found in legendary treasures packs, which are pretty cheap. By extension, Seismitoad isn't very expensive.

You could probably get 2 of them for 1 pack.

Pyroar is probably one of the only decks you could build.

~4 packs for 4 pyroar
~4 packs for a mewtwo
~6 packs for a combustion blast charizard

other decks like yveltal, seismitoad, landorus/lucario, virgen, are all going to run well over 15 packs for the pokemon

So I was super into fairy types in the games and now I've started TCGO I want to put together a Fairy deck- half for funsies, half because I'm interested in seeing if it will be any good.

I can't get a pic because I'm afk but if I posted a list of the mons I'd thought of including would anyone be able to give feedback? Haven't considered Trainers yet, and this is also based on what I currently have. Based on feedback I can trade for different stuff.
I basically smashed together the Enchanted Echo and Resillient Life theme decks and went from there;

2 Flabebe -> 2 Floette -> 2 Florges. Low energy attack that can damage weaker benched pokemon in early stages of the game.

2 Xerneas. Use Geomancy to build up the rest of my team & 100 damage isn't to be sniffed at with a good means of recycling the energy discarded.

1 Spritzee -> Aromatisse & 1 Swirlix -> Slurpuff. Sit them on the bench and abuse thier pokepowers.

2 Eevee -> 2 Sylveon. I just really like Sylveon because I'm female trash.

2 Carbink. With good energy management can whack out a fair bit of damage.

I also have but didn't include some Mr. Mime and Klefki, as well as some Jigglypuff/Wigglytuff & Clefairy/Clefable.
Is this a good number of pokes on relation to everything else, or is it too many. Also I don't like pyramid evolution so there isn't any here, I've heard a lot of mixed opinions in it.

Be as brutal as you need to!!!

That's 59 cards, the last one can be a Sacred Ash if you think you're low on Pokémon, another attacker, maybe a 4th Max Potion, something like that. That's what a straight Fairy deck with no funny techs and Rainbow Energy should look like more or less. Start with Xerneas, power up shit and keep them alive with Fairy Transfer and Max Potion.

Attack it twice with Aromatisse? The deck used to run Mega Kanga before but with all the usage Fighting decks are seeing, it's not worth it. You could add 4 Rainbow Energy and start teching in attackers like Latias EX or something but it doesn't feel right now that Prism is gone. There's a reason why Fairy decks aren't that good.

Money isn't so much an issue at this point, sure it'd be nice. but the major issue is space.

Family keeps a quota, we keep a certain amount of things to not have clutter/extra baggage. I already got tons of other shit that means more, so the TCG boxes gotta go.

If I can find someone willing to buy a lump sum for even 20 or so, at least they'll make use of em.

Better then the alternative, which is the dumpster if I don't act soon.

Have you ever considered selling them on eBay?

Most folks sell their bulk common/junk uncommon cards in 25-card lots that usually go for 5 bucks a pop.

Just remember to go through your collection for usable uncommons, holo rares, ultra rares, secret rares, and and any card that features Shiny Pokemon and sell those individually.

I've been working on an Eeveelution deck for the past few days because the decent deck I finally managed to build got rotated out.

It's not the best deck in the world, but it is really fun to play and has a counter for most things it's come up against. It's got about a 50% win ratio, but I suspect that's more due to luck than skill.

It's major drawback is that you can only have four Eevees so I tend to lose after drawing five or so prizes because I have nothing on my bench. Unfortunately I don't have any other revives or Cassiuses to recycle the Eevees so I'm stuck using the bloody awful Simipour.

I'm relatively new to PTCGO so any advice anons could give me, especially about relatively easily obtainable mons would be greatly appreciated.

Drop some 'mons, drop at least 5 energy, probably more. Drop all those Scoop-Up-like cards, the eeveelutions have shit HP and wll be OHKOd anyway, run Sacred Ash to get more Eevee. Get the Team Plasma Leafeon, it's probably the best eeveelution. Get a better supporter lineup, 4 Juniper, 4 N and 2 Colress should be the first 10 trainers you add in the deck.

Unlock the free decks from the trainer challenge to get some of these cards if you don't have them already.

>Those Phantom Gate/Phantom Forces leaks.

This looks like an interesting set, but sealed tournaments like PRs are going to be a pain in the ass thanks to the lack of draw support outside of Slurpuff and Yanmega. I'm also glad we got to see that "Full Metal" Dialga EX and that the Hyper Gear cards are holo rares.

And even though Malamar EX is iffy, I'm still going to try to get a page of regular arts and a page of FAs.

>>20922947

Judging by the way the set's structured, we're not getting a Gigalith in Phantom Gate.

>>20922992
>>20922988

At the cost of running twice as many cards, of course.

Generally you shouldn't use them in your deck because Juniper, N, Colress and even Shauna are much better supporters to use. But if you don't have enough of any thing better those, you should use Cherens and Tiernos as substitutes, they are better than nothing (and better than Caitlin)

Okay, two questions.

1. Is Unlimited played much in Pokemon? I'm really sad at seeing some of my favourite cards get rotated out and having to make entirely new decks.

2. Is it against the rules to just play out 3 mins of every random match than then concede for the prize wheel? I've seen a few people do it now and whilst I like getting a quick prize, sometimes I want to actually use the cards I've gotten from those prizes.

Not really much unlimited play IRL besides between friends. On PTCGO there is an option to play it but idk how active it is. There is a new format that uses both the old and new rotation but idk if thats implemented yet.

Its not against the rules as far as I know. I do it sometimes if I am close to a new pack. And its 2 mins.

Well, Phantom Forces is shaping up to be great.

Talonflame is purely Un150 fodder for me, but it's really, really good fodder.
Pyroar is just insane, being able to pitch a Fire to get a Lysandre effect every turn is going to fuck up a lot of strategies.
g8r is okay. Good that he's been printed but I see no use for it.
Manectric-EX is okay and Mega Manectric has free retreat, but fighting weakness makes it unplayable.
M-Gengar is going to be a deck whether people like it or not.
Chandelure is eh, I don't like it. Not because it's a bad card but because matches have enough ways to go 50/50 without adding something like Fainting Spell back into the mix.
Gourgeist is a casual/Un150 card. Even then I probably wouldn't play it in Un150.
Gigalith is more Un150 fodder to be used alongside Damage Swap Alakazam. Shame the attack is so slow.
Malamar-EX, while one of my favorite XY pokemon and looks amazing in full art, is not good enough to be played.
Heatran is weird. Decent for casual alongside Bronzong but not much else. Art is messed up.
Florges-EX has very strange looking art how it just fills the picture box like that. Really it's a support EX in a type that doesn't need any more support.
Hydreigon looks very fancy and I could see some people trying to get it to work with Yveltal-EX again.
Regigigas looks cool but sadly is unplayable.

Target Whistle is a nice way to further punish Jirachi-EX players but otherwise a bit narrow.
Battle Compressor is going STRAIGHT in my Garchomp LvX and Mega Evolutions Un150 deck. It's the card I didn't think would exist but never realised how much I'd want it.
Substitute Robot is just silly.
Manectric Spirit Link wishes it removed Fighting weakness.
Jamming Net is, eh. I'd rather use Head Noiser.
Head Noiser itself suffers from how things like Keldeo and Darkrai-EX are falling out of use, same for most EXes with abilities.

Quoted By:

AZ may find a use in decks that employ a brick wall for a couple turns but will otherwise go unused in Modified.
Xerosic is there to give M-Gengar decks trouble, killing their Spirit Links and Mystery energies.
Lysandre's Last Resort is WHEEEEEEE! It's definitely going to found toolbox decks that use 1 or 2 of many cards and in Un150 it's just downright insane. It's the one card that is going to take the most amount of skill to use effectively yet printed in PTCG.
Dimensional Valley and Mystery Emergy have already been covered.

Bronzor and the Bronzong have 20 less HP than their Next Destinies versions, because they actually serve a use y'see?
Vs. Seeker is a great reprint. No one can argue that.
Steel Shelter is a very useful card to have to fight in the LaserBank wars.

Overall, it's looking to be a lot better than Furious Fists.

>>20924577

While I don't like it I won't be having much trouble with Chandelure. Most decks including mine will be able to use Lysandre over 5 times in a game and that's enough to keep Fainting Spell from possibly going off until the game ends. Doesn't excuse it though.

anyway...Phantom Forces as a whole

+ Mega Gengar is very strong
+ Spirit Links now exist
+ Interesting new trainers
+ vs. seeker reprint
+ that pyroar holy shit
+ many new interesting evolutions
+ brand new and usable steel support
+ psychic support is adequate to probably stop fighting and mewtwo domination in modified

- mega manectric is unplayable due to fighting weakness
- florges and malamar ex are iffy
- no meganium or typhlosion to accompany feraligatr and g8r itself is bad
- chandelure is another 'heads you win tails you lose' card
- exploud and regigigas are "y r u so bad" tier
- lysandre's last resort is going to give me several headaches working out how to use it properly

Guys all you have to do to pick a trainer is make a list of all the trainers in current rotation and look at the ones that are obviously the best.

The rule of thumb is you want something that gives as great of an effect as possible for as little of a cost as possible.

So, I bought a Charizard box and It seems on 3 of the cards the ink ran out and I have blotchy unfinished parts on my cards. This is the worst one. Is it anything collectible or garbage?

I'm going to have enough cash that I could buy a case of Phantom Forces and sell a master set to recoup my expenses. I'd still be down about $100 since master sets go for ~$450-500.

>At an avg rate of 2-3 EX/1-2 M/2-3 FA per box, with one SR every two or three boxes
>case probably has two 5 UR boxes, two 6 UR boxes, and two 7 UR boxes
>6 EX/2 M/8 FA/2 SR in the set
I'd be looking at a minimum remainder of 6 EX/4 M/4 FA and maybe 1 SR left. That beats the fuck out of buying a single box even if I wind up without a full set left.

Well, /ptcgo/, do I buy a case this November?

Are you retarded? 2-3 FA's per box? And looking at your estimates, you think you're gonna get roughly 36 UR's? Have you even bought a case, let alone a box before? You'll be lucky to get more than 25 UR's. I've bought 5 boxes of different sets in my time, each box I only got 1 FA, then 3-4 other UR's after that. If you buy a case, don't get too butthurt when you don't get 36 UR...

I gotta agree with this anon, you're not gonna get that amount of EX's and FA's from a case, and you're not gonna get $500 for a master set, look up other master sets on eBay, I saw a Flashfire one going for just over $200, the most expensive one was Dark Explorers, which was just over $400, so unless you actually play TCG, and there's heaps of cards in this set you really want/need, don't get a case, with Pokemon, boxes and cases will never get your money back

Gengar was shit to play against because poison was the only workaround and Nidoqueen stopped even that from working. Later you had shit like Crobat to stop it. It's strength was also derived from Claydol and Uxie being in absolutely every deck.

With virbank/laser, fainting spell won't be very effective. It's gonna get played around more often than not. And then there is garbotoxin, obviously. Fainting spell is going to be much less annoying than back in the platinum era.

If Psychic decks will be a thing I'm going to run all of them. I'm almost positive I want to run a M-Gengar Deck, maybe with Tool Grabber or whatever it was called from FRF to replace M-Gengar Spirit Link.

Plus, it's not like an Ace Spec, so I can run 4 of it. Feels good man.

Minus Legendary Treasures (for obvious reasons) and Plasma Blast (still had 4 EXs, 1 FA, 3 Ace Spec), every box I've ever gotten has had 2 or 3 FAs. My best box was probably Boundaries Crossed, which had FA Black Kyurem, FA White Kyurem, FA Cheren, SR Altaria, Landorus EX, White Kyurem EX and three Ace Specs.

Maybe you're buying shit boxes. Of the seven I've bought, I've never gotten one with less than five URs, and that was the Plasma Blast box mentioned above.

I wouldn't expect to get $500 for a master set, though, that was certainly a gaffe on my part, but I do see them selling at about $400 around release, they drop off after that unless the set is amazing. Further, what ebay listings are you looking at? I don't see Flashfire for less than $300. Fuck, Dragons Exalted was $350.

It doesn't work that way when buying boxes. the ratio is always 12 holos. Thankfully the gods at Pokemon increased the super rare count from 1-2 years back, to 3-6 per box (Which is still vastly random)

The actual amount of EX's to FA ratio is roughly the same actually, with FA's only being an increased value then a regular art.

Although I understand they're atypical, I've seen lots of seven-UR boxes. Either in my own experience, helping friends unbox and sort new cards, or viewing youtube unboxings. I've heard of, but never personally encountered, single-UR boxes and other nightmares.

Also, we used to get eight URs in a box in the HGSS era. 5-6 Pokemon Prime and 2-3 LEGEND cards. I didn't play during Platinum or DP, so I can't speak on pullrates for those sets.

Though I don't know what the fuck was up with the pulls in HGSS Triumphant. I have three and a half copies (seven halves) of Dialga/Palkia LEGEND and I've only bought like 54 loose packs. Who fucking knows.

HGSS sets were kinda odd ratio wise, becuase Legends took the Rev Holo spot. So you still got 12 holo's (4-6 Prime, with only 4 being very rare) and 3-4 Legends replacing their respective rev holo in the pack.

It's impossible to pull both from the same pack in a sealed box, but buying retail, you could pull a godly Prime/Legend pack.

DP was horrible by the way, except for the last 3 sets, it was 1-2 Level X's per box, some without any at all.

I've pulled a few Stormfront/Platinum-era shiny mirror SRs so I figured they were probably about one-per-box deals, with the throwback reprints occupying the "one every couple boxes" slot.

I generally have above-average luck, but last month was crazy. My pull rate for August was nearly one UR in every four packs, including the prerelease that I walked out of with two full arts (Lucario and Fossil Researcher). I wound up with 14 URs. Most of them were from different sets and purchased at different places, but it was like I had the golden touch.

That's still an acceptable rate. I think I will buy a case of Phantom Forces, even if I wind up a little in the hole after selling stuff, I'll still have a respectable collection and I would have spent less on it than if I had bought it any other way.

Cases are usually a loss, but if you can find 'em for a decent price (I paid $490 for my case) then you can lessen the blow by selling the bulk online.

like 6 tiny dice and a regular die, the 1 is replaced by the set logo, so like a little heart cross thing for XY and a little fist thing for Furious Fists.
Acryllic poison/burn counters

Decent quality card sleeves, I think 70 count. Magic/Pokemon sized, obviously.

Like ~5 of each type of energy
A little booklet of every card in the set
I think like 9 packs of whatever set you buy

And a bunch of dividers for the box itself to hold your Pokemon stuff in.

It's about half the size of the actual product, there are cardboard pieces holding it up inside and the whole thing just collapses into the top piece once you remove those

I can provide pictures of any of these if you want, still have most of the pieces of my Yveltal and Lucario boxes lying around somewhere or other.

They vary wildly, especially with the newer sets. Back when they first came out, I got two Plasma Storm ETBs, pulled a shiny Charizard in the first and a full art Articuno in the other. I didn't fare as well with Plasma Blast, getting two Palkia EX in the one box I got. Don't remember my pulls for my first XY ETB, but the second had a FA Blastoise.

Haven't gotten a FUF ETB yet, but I've seen people getting absurd pulls, like, five EX pokemon in a single box.

Other than the eight packs, they have 65 card sleeves, a bunch of energy, some dice and status markers, and some cardboard dividers. They're pretty good for $30, but I'd pass on them at the $40 MSRP.

I think that would help with how ridiculously many extra resources EX decks can cram into their decks compared to evolution decks, like Virbank+ 4 lasers on top of 4 muscle bands and a Garbodor line in a Yveltal-EX deck while still being extremely fast and consistent.

The only downside I could think of happening is that those decks could get away with dropping some consistency cards when the deck is smaller, but really, losing something like 4-5 cards from your deck size definitely doesn't seem enough to justify removing any Junipers or Ultra Balls or something.

Is there a more boring deck to play than VirGen?

Virgen is like the only top deck at the moment that needs a certain level of skill to play.

1. Attack with Virizion and load a couple of Genesects
2. Kill everything with Genesect, use G-Booster and Red Signal as needed
3. Win

Every fucking game is the exact same, and there's no skill involved.

Even the Landorus decks require much more skill since you need to play around the weakness to Kyurem, Deoxys-EX, Mewtwo-EX, Seismitoad-EX, etc, manage the energy/tool attachments carefully and use the bench damage spread carefully as your only means to OHKO removes all energy from Landorus, and so on. VirGen just overpowers everything with no brain.

Now that Super Rod is gone and you have a very limited amount of energy, it's not that simple. You need to know where to put your energy and when, if you lose a Genesect with 3 energy attached to a Lysandre without attacking, you've pretty much lost the game. Also, you don't have access to Dowsing Machine which means you have to manage resources much more carefully compared to other decks which can afford to discard a Megaphone or a Muscle Band. Oh and you don't get to deal serious damage before at least turn 3, by which point Landorus and Plasma are already taking KOs while Seismitoad tries to lock you out of the game.

>Landorus
>skill
Come on m8, you can easily attack for ~90 for one energy, even on fucking turn 1. Most of the time it doesn't even matter what you do with your snipe damage.

I don't like at all this RPS format with Lando, VirGen and Seismitoad we have now. People will always bitch the current format, whichever it is, is the worst ever but right now, it's kind of true. I miss 2006, 2008 and 2010.
