Been thinking of trying a meme deck with the three Kecleon once they all come out after rotation. Both the PES and DFY Kecleon can hit weakness for 220 on those types against GXs if you have a choice band (and Diancie Prism out for DFY). The GRW Kecleon provides little help, but can probably be supplemented with another main attacker anyway.

Which version of the Kalos cards should I collect? I was going down the list, by Dex order, but decided to stop while still on the starters because I just can't get into these 5ban Graphics cards. I originally intended on building my collection with the earliest versions of each mon's card (in this case, starting with the original XY expansion set), but now I'm not too sure. Maybe I should go for the BREAKthrough set instead. Trying now, as a start, to look for the best non-holo cards for the stage 1 and 2 starters and the best holos for Chesnaught, Delphox, and Greninja. Anyone have recs?

>Delinquent >Team Skull Grunt >Judge >N >Ilima >Mars >others But no, random discards, hitting DCE / strong energy / beast energy / etc, shuffling a hand of six or more down to four or forcing your opponent to discardd 3 cards aren't a problem due to [completely unspecified reasoning] then I, nor anyone else who pays attention to Expanded knows what to say about this.
Either way, expect Battle Compressor, Dimensional Valley and some other random cards to be banned next, because it's far easier to start banning countless cards than just tackle the Zoroark / Trevenant problem directly. Because banning all these other cards doesn't "stifle creativity" at all.

Of course it was printed in BREAKpoint AKA the set where logic, thought and reasoning wasn't applied to anything they made.
Hex maniac ban also made sense but they should have said it was just no-investment ability lock anything can use to effortlessly lock out a game instead of this "stifles creativity" bollocks because if they're going to use that as an excuse they should be banning Zoroark and Trevenant because nothing "stifles creativity" more than that pair of obnoxious stat + game state checks.
Wally and Ghetsis ban were completely retarded - one is a general use supporter where Trevenant is the problem (as the upcoming DValley ban will repeat) and the other had no actual reason to be banned under any circumstances.

>>36217416 >>36217476 >they can single handedly brick your opponent before they take their first turn, not just for simply disrupting your opponent's hand. None of the cards you listed can do that on the first turn of the game For Ghetsis to do that you need a very specific set of conditions to take place which at that point isn't even a problem with the card, rather the random chance of it happening which is a pretty long shot unless you run a stupidly low supporter count or you're on the bottom tables to the point where people are not only running Ghetsis, but multiple copies to see it first turn when after that Ghetsis is just a discard to ultra ball as the most practical use for it.
Because if we're talking magical christmas land chances, judge can reshuffle you down to 4 useless cards, ilima down to 3, mars hits your only draw supporter and leaves you with a dead hand, delinquent leaves you between a rock and a very hard place and the rest well I don't need to knock em out one by one.

>>36217519 The difference with Ghetsis is that guarantees that your opponent has no items in hand basically acting as pseudo item lock. Even if your opponent only loses 1-3 items it still means they aren’t going to playing Ultra ball, trainer mail, battle compressor, etc. The only out to Ghetsis is to have a draw supporter or set up Pokémon like Shaymin or Lele in your opening hand already. Unlike judge where as long as you got one of you many item cards you should be fine

I wish September would hurry up and happen. I started this game in April so I specifically bought for newer cards than the packs from older sets, but the deck ideas all want to use the old stuff for as long as possible. So right now no one's got ideas I can reasonably start getting cards for.

>>36218990 If you don't care about swag cards(holos, reverse holo, full art, etc), it'll probably be somewhere in the neighborhood of $100-$150. Used to be worse with Lele being $50 a pop but they are going down in price significantly.

>>36218871 It could be a great surprise deck if the opponents run no non-gx attackers (e.g. stand-in Zoroark, ability Mewtwo, baby buzz, trashalanche etc) but Garbotoxin is really popular and most top tier decks will get a lightning fast setup compared to your average ninetales deck. Baby Buzz is 100% gonna see play and in multiple copies per buzz list, has support out the ass and ninetales just cannot go toe to toe with it. To be honest you're better off playing Hoopa (same output but it's a basic, same ability, max elixirable, nukes dawn wings with a choice band, Psychic resistance is handy af). Ninetales hits what? Volcanion for weakness? And who's playing Volcanion these days?

>>36222745 I have it, and I will say, I absolutely LOVE the Wildcard feature. It's an interesting and surprisingly well-made alternative to trading for what you want.
If you don't have a card, you can try and put it in anyways, and it'll ask to consume a wildcard of that value. These wildcards can be unpacked at the same rarity as an actual card of the same value, **AND** you get Uncommon, Rare, and Mythic Rares at a set number of unpacks, so it just becomes a question of opening enough packs to get a drop, not necessarily being forced to wait until you unpack one.

Respond to this with a burner email to go in the running (don't use your personal one for obvious reasons and don't use a 10 minute disposable one or you likely won't end up getting your codes) Don't Spam your email each time you re-roll, just link to your original post you made with your email and i'll know where to send it.

Guys I have a big problem. I got into the tcg about a year ago, after my nephews got my son into it. I started playing with him to teach him how, then I started playing my nephews, then I would go to the comic store here and play people my age. My wife got mad at me cuz I was spending too much on packs, trainer boxes, etc.. for a "dumb game" so I> got a credit card without telling her > spent over a thousand dollars in cards and packs > got caught So she was pissed and burned all of them and made me delete the online game and pokemon is no longer allowed in the house. my kid didn't suffer much cuz he was pretty much over it. I know I over did it - what can I do NOW to get my fix?
