@FNBRBanana I do like today’s changes but it’s one of the reasons I quit Lorcana. Well Magic does it so well do it. Well one game is 40 years old so needs it while one is 3 years old that doesn’t.

Someone who makes the Pokémon rule decisions is obsessed with copying the way things work in Magic without considering if those rules are actually good or not

got my ninth and tenth 2nd place cups in Salisbury MD and Ashland VA. Debating slow zard or ceruledge for Orlando next before i start quad Harlequinning everyone.

@RiftboundMeta Why riot? I can understand any color being the secondary counter spell type (with green being the primary) but why the hell is it purple when purples main purpose is drawing cards.

why does purple get everything 😭

@KashMann27 Live is just unusable the last week, poffin takes me 2 minutes to use in about 25% of games

Takes forever to play out 3 turns. Wastes 10 minutes for no good reason. Use ability to knock out an ex Pokemon while I'm down to 2 prizes. 🤦‍♂️

@KirbyCheatFurby Free WiiU servers - fast reliable Paid Switch servers - disconnects every 4 matches

you know what's funny about the wii u? it was a failure, yeah, but it threw splatoon out near the end of its lifespan and that's one of the most popular nintendo franchises now. like, "this..... is the last of my power......" and then suddenly squid people

top 8 of the Cali MD cup with ceruledge, got hit with turn 1 box against Gardy going 2nd games 1 and 3. also heres my zard EUIC list, made a last second change of -mist for +moltres the night before. should probably of cut the 3rd cage instead.

@GeorgeG_TCG Still my Goat

4:1 in Day 2 good enough to secure a European Nationals invite or whatever. To my understanding this means I’m locked for all 3 Regions Nationals. Really underwhelmed with the result but I have to learn to accept that variance & hitting bad matchups is a part of TCGs.

@Espurr_Meow How many there

Learning today

hit some rough matchups and but liked my crazy 60

was gonna lock in slow zard for ASC EUIC but now super unmotivated. what am i playing

For all the Americans going to EUIC next week, Wendy’s Sea Salt was the MVP of last years trip.

@GeorgeG_TCG Damn

@cris_kuako @Da_L0c Wrote him out of my will.

Dropped from a Pokémon cup today (still missing a bunch of cards for my EUIC list) but won a Skirmish yesterday for my Rd1 bye at Vegas (playing the worst new deck for the Best of Trophy)

@nitetimeclasher I’ll be good going to shops this week. Just haven’t bought cards from Phantasmal, lol

@Da_L0c what cards do u need for euic

@thefleeee I paid 45 for each Arc Vstar and 40 each Lugia Vstar and I didn’t even go to LAIC Nov 2022.

I remember in 2011 when people were scrambling in the open play room at nationals offering $80-90 for a single copy of Yanmega Prime, then months later Mewtwo EX was the new hot card at the same price, then Darkrai EX I also remember when Shaymin EX and Tapu Lele EX were a minimum of $60 per copy and you needed 3-4 to just play the game We live in a time where Pokemon TCG is the cheapest and most accessible, I complain about the price of Pokepad but in reality I would've been happy paying the $6-10 per copy with expedited shipping because I remember the days when it was impossible to get cards

@gearhartpkmn Depends on Electivire is considered a Player Effect and/or individual Pokemon effects? Should be everything except the Vire right if it’s an And. Mime doing an effect on all Pokemon and to the player. Mist blocks that specific effect from Mime for itself.

Electivire with a Mist-Energy attached uses Unleash Lightning. Mr. Mime uses Look-Alike Show, choosing a Pokémon Ranger from the opponent's hand. Which of the Electivire player's Pokémon can now attack, if any?

@ElizaSheetposts @panomics yes not feasible now, but i think clifton is making it known so pokemon doesnt repeat this mistake the next 5 years. (and it solves a secondary issue of rising ticket costs with no return/packs for players)

@Da_L0c @panomics Last I heard it wasnt specified why, but that still doesnt fix the issue of needing to have dedicated people power to the task of making and packing these since they would need unique packing. Not to mention it would change their supply number, something I doubt they'd do

I cannot stress how correct of a decision this is - Product is delayed - Prices are out of control - Stores aren't going to have enough product to open making single difficult to get I would rather see the tournament decided by skill than who has the hook up MASSIVE W

@ElizaSheetposts @panomics packs aren't the issue, missing Larry Erika coins so thats delayed while the stickers still come out this week

@panomics While great in theory, they would need to have printed enough supply for that and dedicated resources to packing them Which the product delay alone indicates it isn't an option

@colvp05 @aschemanske well it will be actually closer to $5 (and 25 cents by Perfect Order) and pokemon could just delay it for locals and make the exception for EUIC

@Da_L0c @aschemanske tbf this also affects locals, personally I will not be flying to London and do not want to pay $100 for four commons

EUIC just got 100x more boring, and every cool deck I had is now tossed out the window for a stale format. Yay!
