>todays TCG
Yveltal has been based since XY senpai
There was only a very small period after the XY-on rotation where Yveltal wasn't top tier
>>26401117
All the sets lately have been straight up trash, RS included.
It's just Roaring Skies has a chance to get Shaymin-EX which is the most expensive staple right now and required for 90% of decks to function, so it's better.
>>26401106
Good attack, high HP. Fairly straightforward.
>>26401170
Oh, well, that explains the Shaymin thread from the other day.
>>26401168
>>26401170
Is the one that comes with the new shiny tins a good one? think it has Oblivion Ball and Y Cyclone
I will never understand what they were thinking with this card. Why make the ability require Fire energy but not the attack? It could've been so much better if the requirements were Fire/Water/Lighting. It would even fit better thematically.
Ho-Oh is my favorite legendary and I'm so buttmad about this.
>>26401199
Yup. The only bad Yveltal in existence is the Black Star series XY32 one.
>>26401213
Not a great card, but it's not a dud. It's seen some use.

I'm thinking of running a Delphox BREAK/Lugia FC deck. Obviously it's not gonna be meta level but it should work out just beyond casual play right? I.E. Leagues where people no one uses NM or Shaymin.
lets open some shit, senpai!

Why?
Anon from yesterday, someone battle me with an irl deck over skype

I really want to see what ultras you can get from this box. I really like this set, and I'm 42 cards away from completing my french master set.
Got these today.

M charizard EX
And absolute dogshit from the kalos tin

are there any good item cards in Ancient Origins?
>>26403085
>>26403105

Pretty happy with the pulls except the tin packs.
Almost done with my eevee page. Just need vaporeon and stupid jolteon ex
is it true that Vespiqueen is viable in some decks? pulled a shit ton of them in >>26402859
>>26403374
can we have a picture of your pulls ? Also, I think that vespiqueen is indeed viable.
>>26403390
sure. this is thru both tins and 13 AO packs. never gotten an FA trainer before.
>>26403390
>>26403390
of course i forgot pic
>>26403374
Vespiquen is currently the fifth best deck of the format, sitting comfortably in Tier 2 with 28 State-level tops and an ~8% meta share.
Here are two of the Vespiquen decks that won States. Make sure yours is the correct one, since there are two different Vespiquen in Ancient Origins.
>Collect 100 prize cards
>>26403445
nice full arts from AO. I really need to pull that giratina in any form. Steven is pretty cheap in my country so I may get it directly.
>>26403445
Another update: three Full Arts through 20 packs. I fucking love Ancient Origins.
>>26403478
>I have no Shaymins
welp, into the shit bin that goes!
>>26403576

I would really like to get a AO box, but french Pokemon boxes are like $200 MRSP
whats with retards bending cards completely in half just to place them down
its like they're addicted to the slap noise the card makes when it hits the mat or some shit, it warps the cards though which is really annoying.
>>26403931
I do this but not to the point where it bends the cards
Anyone of you guys have FA Manectric-EX that you'd trade for 3 RS? I need 3 of them.

Does anyone want a code for the Stone Heart deck?
I was buying a card booster and saw someone had cracked open the deck box to steal the Regirock card but left the online code; I figured a worker would find it and have to chuck the box because it was opened anyway, so I took the online code card.Yes, I just took the code; I felt if would have been greedy to try and steal the whole deck box, especially since I don't play irl, only online.
Post an email if you want it. First response gets it.
Pic related is the box.
I know it's buyable in-game, but thought there might be a newbie here who wants it.

Remainder to concede to all Night March faggots. Don't let them take any prizes.
>>26409860
does it make a difference?
>>26409890
I'd still consider myself newbie, and I'm actually wondering about this, too. Why concede? I don't remember ever having any negative effects if my opponents conceded. I still get to turn the winner's wheel, right?
I mean, immediately conceding does show that others don't want to play with you if you play a certain deck. I immediately concede whenever I just see a Wailord, I just don't want to bother anymore. But they still get prizes, right?

>>26410797
>>26410806
you nerds realize PF & ROS are $170+ each now right?
Are the base set DCE still legal? I would like to keep a set in case I ever need them.
>>26411060
Yes
>>26411031
Yup. You should also realize every set since ROS not only has very few competitively viable rares or ultra rares, but no real money cards at all. If you're going to waste money on an entire booster box, you might as well get some useful cards out of it.
>>26410944
Where the fuck is Sycamore?
>>26411087
I'm sure that sounded like a smart comment in your head, but when you spend $170 on a ROS box and don't get multiple shaymins you're in the hole more than you would be just buying an FC box. Even if you get 2 shaymins full art + normal you'll still be losing at least $60.
>>26411121
>sycamore
>mill deck
you what
>>26411127
You're in the whole no matter what, the question is, do you want to waste money on a stack of useless EX's and worthless commons or waste money on cards you can actually use?
>>26411163
you didn't ask if the guy was a collector or player. if he wants to actually play the game buying a booster box is retarded either way, if he's a collector FC will give you more bang for your buck.
>>26408342
I'm not sure about that. This does give it the alternate non-EX attacker that the deck has always wanted and the format should slow down a little; but, Fairy still suffers from it's biggest weakness: Getting OHKOd.
Fairy Needs a Focus Sash effect in addition to an Aromatisse reprint. Even then, that may be too many moving parts in the deck.
>>26411277
If we assume PHF is getting rotated out, "being OHKO'd" is no longer a major element of the format. The only meta relevant decks swinging for OHKO's will be M Ray and YZ, although YZ hits for 20 less damage.
While we're talking about PHF Booster Boxes, here is one at 129€ (144$) that just got posted on eBay: http://www.ebay.fr/itm/POKEMON-DISPLAY-NEUVES-XY4-VIGUEUR-SPECTRALE-ANGLAIS-BOOSTER-LOT-VO-ENGLISH-/121992828231?hash=item1c6756d547:g:SrsAAOSw~gRVv6gM
>>26411393
M Ray, Both M Mewtwos, M Alakazam can, Zygarde, Primal Groudon, ironically Rainbow Xerneas just off the top of my head.
I had about quite some locked packs lying around so I decided to open them earlier today. About 20 in total. Got pretty happy with the pulls. Really love the M-Ray and Gyarados. Also pulled a Regirock-EX from a Fates Collide pack, but forgot to take a screenshot of that pull.
And I also got the Shaymin :)
>>26411594
>M Ray
Conceded
>M Mewtwo X
Sets up entirely too slow to be meta relevant.
>M Mewtwo Y
Will be able to pick off Xerneas and Xerneas BREAK but will struggle to knock out out M Gardevoir EX with one hit. Not to mention, the meta presence of this deck will be severely hampered by
>M Alakazam
Will need to stack damage quickly because the Fairy player will be abusing Fairy Drop, and if Aromatisse gets reprinted, Max Potion.
>Zygarde
Needs the tool but I guess both Xerosic and Megaphone are getting rotated so this could actually be a thing.
>Primal Groudon
Is a painfully slow attacker, by the time it can start swinging for 200, M Gardevoir or whatever should be fully set up.
>Rainbow Xerneas
Requires a lot of set up to hit big numbers.
>>26411185
Guy here, I'm a collector, and the LT set looks pretty cool with the secret rares.
>>26412975
A booster box of Legendary Treasures goes for over $150. The two secret rares (Zekrom and Reshiram) cost roughly $20 each. The only full art from the set worth money is the Mew EX, worth about $8.
I would pass.
>People begging for quits for the new challenge
WHAT THE SHIT CAN THEY NOT READ?
>>26411723
As someone who's played M Gardevoir online for over a year and a half, and as someone who has played and built all the decks listed here, I can say most of this analysis is wrong and severely overestimates the speed of M Gardevoir while underestimating its opponents.
i-is this ok 先輩
This is a fun visual glitch.
Why is it so hard to trade for Rare Candies online?
>>26409535
I can't really complain though, I recently pulled this fucker from a sealed great encounters booster, but yeah, products here are way too expensive and getting cards for cheap is pretty much impossible.
>>26414237
Not him, but now I feel bad that I got French Luxray GL Lv.X's for around $25 USD when English ones were like $60+I'm in Canada so I played the French ones for lulz
>>26414251
No problem bro, I'm pretty picky when it comes to the sets I collect, since I must restrain myself for financial reasons. Do you have a picture of that Luxray ? I really like that Pokémon, and I still need to pull the break card from Breakpoint.
>>26414237
I obtained that card but in english with Darkrai tin can, still have my folder full of pokes

Why do French cards only capitalize the first letter of each attack? This is upsetting me.
I wanna fuck around and make a casual deck with these guys. Which other Pokes/Item/Trainer cards should I add?
>>26414753
>casual
>yveltal ex
>>26414753
2 more baby Yveltals
3-3 Zoroark line from breakthrough
And for good measure, everything else in a good Yveltal/Zoroark deck
>>26414721
French doesn't capitalize proper nouns. In this context, the words of the attack would be proper and therefore capitalized in English.

very nice post!
>>26415417
just run the line forest scoopup/az/devo spray then one of those baby virizions and 2 shayminEX(?), if you run serperior you'll be spamming the stage 1 most of the time, fuck maybe even 4 puzzle of time to recycle the recycle cards!

>>26415610
>a kid asked for a million cards for his durant
whats so special about that?
>>26415643
>image didn't upload
nice
>>26415666
Ariados doesn't add much to the deck outside of clogging it. I'm also not too sure about Virizion as an attacker.
That trainer lineup is also pretty questionable. What does Delinquent do in this deck, especially with only three Forest? Why Misty's at all? Why only 2 Sycamore and 1 N as your only draw options, in a deck that relies on being able to evolve often enough to hit the paralysis?
Got my tins today, wish me luck vp
>>26415806
I hope you get MONKEYS.
>>26415806
Good luck!!
Please, post pulls!
>>26415803
ariados helps you hit 110 in a single turn for shaymins
and is overall nice for numbers
try playing mistys and you'll see the value it provides in setup reliant decks
>>26414818
god damn it. I bought a BREAKThrough Booster Box a while ago and didn't pull any Zoroarks.
>>26415806
Xerneas tin first, they gave me an extra BRKT instead of an RS. But Umbreon is cool
>>26415866
If you're so concerned about setting up, why do you only have three Ultra Ball? Especially in a deck that runs Shaymin, that seems to indicate otherwise. And I'd sooner run Level Balls, or Compressor + Revitalizer (which you only have one of) before I'd waste my turn supporter on a -1 that guarantees nothing.

Absolutely no clue why you're running D Valley just for Crobat like it needs it, but not running Sky Field

Primarily because I don't have a Shaymin(s) in deck to fill the bench up with, meaning Sky Field has felt useless when I used it in the past.

[C] Aero Blitz: 40 damage. Search your deck for any 2 cards and put them into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterwards.
Interesting, not good, but interesting
Could the new Talonflame work well with the Talonflame BREAK promo?

that face when your opponent finds 4 fire energy to attach to his malamar to make your toad sleep and you keep flipping tails to wake up
and the on the fourth turn 2 scoopups flip tails so you have to az your second dce to keep the very core of your deck going

Almost really viable
No one wants to set up a Stage 2 C Pokemon that only hits for 40, though.
But it's cute that you can Wally into the Break on Turn 1 and Aero Blitz out a Blacksmith + Compressor for next turn. Or attach a Burning Energy and search out another.
It looks like this set is going to have a lot of Fire support. Volcanion to boost, a better Baby Yveltal but for Fire, that shitty Victini that picks up F energy, and now Talonflame support.

no Jynx?
I've been playing the TCGO for a bit over a month now, but been collecting cards for much longer. I'll have a casual match against friends soon, and now I'm trying to scrap up what I can. I don't want to go buy certain cards just for this, I want to see what I can do with the ones I already have.
These are the Pokémon that I sometimes see on PTCGO that are quite useful. Problem is, I only have 1 of each (except for Golbat). Also, I'm a huge Mewtwo nerd and they're already expecting me to play it. I'm fine with that, I kinda have to really. The Lv.X seemed to be a nice one too because of its PokéBody (what even is that...but alright, kinda like a Pyroar?), and the first three seem to be the best choices for attacks when used with the Lv.X one.
This is NOT a deck idea yet. It's just the cards from my collection that I think could be a good idea to play in general. Right now I'm tending towards all the Mewtwos + Fire mons, excluding Ninetales.
As far as trainers go, I have a lot but also a lot of shitty ones amongst those. My idea rn is:
1 Sycamore, 1 N, 2 Lsyandres, 2 Team Flare Grunts, 2 Acro Bikes, 2 Trainer's Mails, 1 Ultra Ball, 2 Poké Balls, 1 Super Rod, 1 Town Map, 1 Fisherman, 1 Pokémon Fan Club, 1 Fighting Fury Belt, 1 Muscle Band, up to 4 Professor's Letters for finding Fighting Energy for Mega Mewtwo X.
The only Stadium card that would make sense is 1 Shrine of Memories for Mega Mewtwo X - either for using Mewtwo EX's attack if I don't draw Fighting Energy/Letters, or for making more damage.
tl;dr - are these mons good ideas for casual playing? Or should I go look through the collection once more?
>>26420652
Two others that I was thinking of are Gardevoir EX and Malamar EX.
I've got Gardevoir EX (1), Mega Gardevoir EX (1, no Spirit Link), Malamar EX (1). Also RC Yveltal (2) if I go and try to include Malamar + Darkness Energy instead of Fire or something, and Togekiss EX (1) if I go for Gardevoir + Fairy Energy.
Didn't seem as good an idea as Psychic/Fire to me though, I don't know.
>>26420652
Also, I just noticed it says "Evolved Pokémon" on Mewtwo Lv.X, not "Basic Pokémon." Does that mean evolution in the TCG sense, or in general? Could it still get damage from e.g. a Charizard EX?
>>26420848
Are you a moron?
what do with pic related?
>>26421006
fuck off name fag
>>26420913
Apparently, yes. Enlighten me.
>tfw finally got the Rare Candies
>tfw it's a bitch to get the Shaymin's
Should've just traded that Full Art for two regular Arts instead of my entire deck.Brigette, Center Lady and Skyla too damn sexy.
>>26421369
what a horrible deck.
>>26421398
Thanks for being my number one fan.
>>26421369
-1 brigete
-1 retrieval
- center lady
-1 compressor
add some draw support like N
You can tech an Energy pouch and Clemont
>>26421460
Clemont isn't good if he's running a compressor+fisherman/retrieval engine.
Rate my deck. Everything built with tradelocked cards because I don't have any tradeable packs.

start over/10
>>26421989
Already did that. I've put in as many staples as I can. It works decently for me and can draw decently fast. I have even built it for standart.
>>26422056
>Already did that
You say that, yet you seemed to have skipped over the parts where it tells you
>not to pyramid evolution lines
>to run Rare Candy
>to stick to under 10 energies
>to run a minimum amount of certain staples
>to build a deck around a specific win condition
Which is practically the entire image. So there, I just spoonfed you like an illiterate child who can't even comprehend the most basic of resources.
>>26422056
It's not about the trainer line up, it's the Pokemon line up.
First off, what's the point of the deck? How does it win? Just do little pricks of damage, stall with paralysis? How do you expect to consistently get anything out when you're only running one Delphox and one Serperior? For that matter, what synergy do those two Pokemon, as well as Torkoal and Entiei, have?
>>26421369
>FA Skyla
I got one for just a singe pack
>>26422159
I traded a Shaymin-EX Fullart for almost all of my deck excluding rare candies and Pikachu-EX.
>supposed to play cards with a girl later today
>she was a sketchy bitch all week
>still wanted to go as of yesterday
>my deck is shit
tempted to just skip it desu
>>26422224
>sketchy bitch all week
What do you mean?
>>26422184
People are going to tell you that was a bad trade considering Shaymin is an extremely valuable and important staple and since Jolteon is the only card worth anything you got from it, but I personally think it was a good deal. You actually have a full viable deck, if only you didn't insist on running Brigette and Center Lady.
>>26422184
I've seen worse mistakes I guess.
>have to discard 3 VS seekers on first turn
>>26422231
we played cards last weekend and it was fun (yes Im that same faggot). i guess i came on too strong this week cuz she was cold and distant with me. i asked her what was up and she told me she was just sick of being around people, i guess her roommate and her family. she is really introverted and always tells everyone how much she likes her me time. idk why she would still want to go with me today if she is in such a nasty mood. idk what the fuck is going on. sry for the blog post.
Is therea list with good decks somewhere?
>>26422297
people feel bad sometimes. not just you, but behold - other people, too. if she's an introvert and needs some time alone, that's cool. if she still decides it would make her day a bit better if she met you to play cards, that's even cooler.
everyone's in a bad mood sometimes. maybe she thought you'd be the right person to cheer her up a little, or to have fun with anyway.
sounds like a good thing to me.as long as she didn't say something about you specifically being too much for her that day, too, and that she would rather be alone and not play that day. but you didn't say that, so I'd guess you're her oasis.
Some streams going on right now. pokemontcg_eu for German National and PokemonTCG for Spring Regional.
>>26422363
shit, it's German Nats today? thanks for the link.
>Kassel
that's not even far from here god fucking damn it how did I miss that
>>26422234
I could swap out Center Lady and bring Brigette down to 1.
Brigette just gets me out of those bricks where I have no other Pokemon other than a single Remoraid or Magnemite.
>>26422363
>pokemontcg_eu
ty for the link friendo
always fun to see nightmarchers get fucked on a national stage
>get a mystery power box
>the bonus item is a sealed HGSS deck
Huh, too bad there's no codes.
>>26419886
How is no one seeing how awesome this is? A 130hp basic that deals 40 for 1 energy and searches for 2 of anything AND has free retreat. Throw a muscle band on there and say fuck you to everything. Seriously you go second and have this guy up in front, you're going to win every which way.
>>26423014
i like it too, but when you actually think about it, running 4x talonflame gives you a ~40% chance to start the game with it. Running any prevos would probably be a terrible idea as well, so 60% of games you just have 4 dead cards in your deck
>>26423014
>Muscle Band
Won't exist. You need to actually draw it and you get exactly one chance to do so, and its attack is extremely underwhelming. Might make a Talonflame Break deck not fucking horrible though.
>>26423061
Dead cards aren't too much of an issue, since they're pretty easy to get rid of in this format. Plus, unlike something like First Ticket, you can still throw them away to power up Vespiquen.
>>26423014
>>26423086
would be a solid addition to a vespiquen deck, if you dont start with it you can just compressor it away to power up vespiquen, and if you do get it you can grab DCE or forest of giant plants etc
>>26423112
>Compressor
Won't exist.
>wasting a DCE on a Talonflame just to grab another DCE and a card you should have on turn one
Dumb.
>>26423014
If you're running 4, you only have a 38% chance of using its ability. And even if you get multiple, you can only use one. That means you'll always have 3-4 Talonflame sitting dead in your deck, that you'll have to manually evolve.
Utility attacks like this aren't very welcome because draw power and consistency options should be the role of your trainers, which don't make you end your turn to use. Having to waste an attack and end your turn immediately afterwards is generally not considered a good move in a format where decks like Night March can swing for 180+ on the very first turn.
Which is why even running it in a tech deck like Vespiquen isn't going to work. Vespiquen only functions if you can set up the Turn 1 Vileplume, and this attack contributes nothing to achieving that. And that goes for most other decks that have good targets for Aero Blitz. Not too many decks like having 3-4 dead cards to potentially lose them the game.
Or if you decide to build a dedicated Talonflame deck with the BREAK, then you now have to set up a Stage 3 in a deck without Water Duplication, type-specific search options outside of Winona (lol), or a way to toolbox out Rare Candy outside of generic options.
This is a fun and creative card, but it's not good.

holy shit this is taking way longer than expected
