What happened during rotation that made ADPZ such a boogeyman? I stopped playing when quarantine hit, and I think Dragapult and Pikarom were tearing up the place.

People are just playing ADPZ even more aggressively than before. After the altered creation on turn 1 or 2, you either need to discard all the energy in play or swing for 280 to ko the ADP, or you almost always lose the game.

For Pikarom and Dragapult, both of them lost half their deck to rotation and aren't as strong. Pikarom is seeing some success as a slower deck but the 5 prize turn is harder to pull off.

this game is honestly spooky that way.

Play any newly created deck, and the game will give you a great hand for the first 5 games. And then youre fucked and will never win unless you learn to deal with bad hands in that deck.

I was using Lucmetal. It's not perfect, but at least the game's outcome didn't hinge on whether you whiff altered creation.

I have the cards for all the major decks, but not enough practice with them.

I think lucmetal would win that stall war if they play dolls since every single switch or mallow&lana becomes +3 turns from putting dolls on the bottom of the deck. I'm not sure if any of them actually play bronzong+doll.

>>45036848
>im new what does this mean
Bronzong has an ability that prevents damage from fire pokemon and a weak attack for 3 energy. Centiskorch V has an attack that discards an energy from both pokemon. He is saying that the centiskorch player should attempt to try and discard all the energy from the bronzong so that it can never attack, then hope the lucmetal player runs out of cards in their deck first.

Jap literally don't give a shit about anything going outside of their country, more news at 11.

The funniest part is their VMAX "balance" was their massive pat on the back they probably gave themselves - woah Tanaka, we removed OHKOs from the format, it is now fixed. Congratulations, you've returned to baseline PTCG, except with two prized instead of 6, dumbing the game down to a ridiculous degree.

Japan is notoriously insular when it comes to designing games. This stuff also happens in YuGiOh (which also has it's own format and it's own separate ban list) and happened in Force of Will (and was the cause of it almost dying outside of Japan)

I think it's worth mentioning though that they could just be not good at testing. I mean these are the same people who released Lysandre's Trump Card and VS Seeker in the same set

That, and the most vocal elements of the PTCG "community" are all collector hoarders that don't give a shit about playing the game. I think the only actual popular eceleb to speak about the degenerate format was JWitzz, and he doesn't even make videos about the game anymore. Literally nobody gives a shit about competitive, compared to other games. The buyer base is just a brainless mass of collectors, that get excited over shiny cards.

Nah, the current arrangement is unfixable without removing every cancerous element. Otherwise you'll just create bigger cancer to fight the previous one.

Straight away, attack costs are totally off-balance. 1-cost should be the standard. 2-cost should be an investment. 3-cost should be a massive investment. 4-cost should be basically unreachable. Colored energy in costs is also totally overused. Most attacks should use colorless and allow for easy splashing. Colored should be used for big attacks that define your deck.

Even without ADP in the format Polteargeist V is a bad card. Does very little damage, Confusion is easily circumvented, and it's ability really amounts to nothing in PTCG with all the draw there is in the game

What >>45041747 said, it's not just ADP, the absolutely retarded mechanics and balancing make most decks not just inferior, but absolutely unplayable. You'd have to go back in time a year or two, if you want a Standard that satisfies you.

That said, Poltegeist does play in Mad Party, if you like your deckbuilding experience to be "insert these cards we tell you to insert and stop being creative".

I mean even in that case, its still only moderately powerful. Especially against haymaker, which has a lot of anti poison capability given its ability to free retreat through scyther, or scoop up the poisoned mon and go into another one energy attacker. Especially seeing as any basic back then that isn't a non-evolving mon would have so little health they get one or two hit by most mons in the haymaker archetype.

The gooks don’t even register our complaints, they’ve shown time and time again they’d rather let a game completely die off outside of Japan than even try to fix the issues running it into the ground. Being part of the Pokémon franchise makes this worse because they don’t have to worry about sales, it’s Pokémon so it will sell. The only reason Vanguard is still around is because of Turbo-weebs who think Japanese products are perfect.

With that said that's also the problem with inertia resulting from being the "pioneers of the mainstream TCG market", WotC/Konami/PCL (or whoever department that designs Pokemon cards in Japan) can basically do something stupid and screw up every year and they will still be the "big 3" of TCGs worldwide while other companies will take whatever market share scraps they could get.

The filler situation wasn't even that bad a year ago. Like, this shit >>45041781 could easily be playable, if only the "top deck" featured a water attacker with 140 health. People would splash it like crazy.

Magic has obscene amount of filler and draft chaff. Pokemon skirted around that issue with the evolution mechanic, as almost every shiny rare needed a common and/or an uncommon to be played. Weakness means every Pokemon, even complete trash, has an edge case where it can be good. TPCi willingly trashed all of that in the name of Big Basics.

It started to get bad in mid gen5, that’s when TPCi started going crazy with set sizes and and bumping up rarity levels for box padding. Until then sets averaged around 100 cards or less. They really should have kept going with POP series to get cards from japanese supplement to us instead of ballooning set sizes for no reason.

The problem with POP sets was that those were mostly just tiny set of random alternate art cards bar a few exceptions (which is why POP 5 packs are so expensive due to Espeon and Umbreon Stars), and while there were bigger sets here and there from Gen 4 to Gen 6 it didn't truly go out of control (Primal Clash was the biggest set in terms of size at 160 cards) until Gen 7 starting with Celestial Storm

been playing a ton of PTCGO recently, loving how the game flows. I'm coming over from MTG and I have a question for y'all. I tend to play gimmick or control (mono black or white/black) decks in MTG, are there any decks like that in Pokemon? Or cards I should look into?

Not really. To be blunt I mostly like winning. If PTCGO decks are going to be sub-$100 I'm cool with having multiple good decks. Are the ones on eBay good? Full competitive decks for less than $50 seems suspicious.

While it's not a bad list, I'd be weary about buying an online deck off ebay, since it's against the TOS. You're unlikely to be punished for it but you never know.
I say get codes for 2x trainer's toolkit from somewhere like ptcgostore, and then buy about 50 - 100 darkness ablaze codes and trade for the rest of the cards you need.
https://play.limitlesstcg.com/tournament/5f7139c1a2a32106f393472e/player/brunoarruda/decklist/

Do I trade the packs or crack them then trade for what I need? My LGS sells codes for $.50 so this is really affordable. Side note: You play way less energy than my Pokemon league back in '99-'00. 20 was the norm even with Bill/Oak/E Search.

It's a mostly work in progress but the idea of this deck is to go turn 1 full blitz and power up something in the back. xurkitree is a good back up attacker if you need to attack without putting your big prizes at risk once your PikeRom gets ko. crushing hammers are needed to slow down adpz and eternatus to let you tag bolt if you're feeling like you can't get ko next turn.

What honchkrow counters are there for ultra necrozma? Is it PHF wobuffet? I see quite a few of them running that, but I think the damage works out that you could gust + ko it. Unless they use guzma on the turn it is benched to put it wobuffet active and get tools on garbodors.

Tords centiskorch is overrated, especially by him.

Early game is given to your opponent on a platter, trying to establish a magenton combo, or setting a volc, and most of the BDIFs bring up the first centiskorch and destroy it.

It does find its footing late-game, but you now have to defend and hope your opponent doesnt have several possible win scenarios against you in the next few turns so you can execute your victory gameplan.

otherwise, I like tords decklists usually, but this one he is too excitable about.

I wouldn't say you have to be 'incredibly lucky', just lucky enough not to have the Koko <> in your prizes. Research, Dedenne, Crobat and Jirachi if you play that will get you there more often than you think.

If it doesn't happen the t1 Electrify is a nice enough play with Crushing Hammers. Overall I'd say the deck is very much alive and sitting at the top of Tier-2.

How ironic, it's not like you can actually play with them unless you can find other people with cards from the same era / format.

It's just completely different

The base design is setting up effectively large combos just to even play the game (1-2 cards for the pokemon + 2-3 energies attached to the specigic pokemon + any support you need) so the game revolves heavily around drawing and tutoring stuff. It's why cards like Professor's Research (which draws you 7 cards) aren't broken and are actually kinda needed for the game to function

I've played magic for 3 years now and am also trying this out. The game is completely different, but a few thoughts come to mind:
- Decks are insanely cheap. Good cards get reprinted out the ass.
- Energy is like lands but only used on on Pokemon they're attached to, so cards like Welder aren't as broken as I thought at first
- Coming from MTG it was really shocking to see how many cards are just Wheel of Fortune. Card draw and tutoring is just broken in this game.

To be fair by the time TPC took the license back from WotC at the end of 2002 Pokemon as a franchise was at the end of its fad phase and was on the downswing, which was why they basically had to throw a shit ton of money at people in the ADV era to regain traction, regardless WotC's handling of Pokemon TCG was absolutely terrible once you take off any nostalgia goggles

- Large gap between releases of certain sets and they release reprint sets inbetween them (ie. Base Set 2 between Fossil and Team Rocket, Legendary Collection between Neo Destiny and Expedition)
- Practically non-existant major tournament scenes
- Refusal to errata cards when they screwed up the translations, which inevitably broke the format (thanks Slowking)
- Attempted to curb people running so many Trainers with that stupid "Prop 15/3" in 2001, which only lasted like one or two majory tournaments

And then in an attempt to force older players to play Magic around 2001 they completely removed the 15+ age group from premier tournaments, which was probably the last straw for many.
