Your physical cards probably aren't worth shit, but check sites like Trollandtoad, eBay and TCGplayer for the shinier ones to see if you can make a decent 5-10 bucks off them before you ask in the thread. We don't have the prices memorized for every single card.
To see what your PTCGO stuff is worth, look on the PTCGO forums in the trading section. For example, Top Cut Trading inc

ToTT: Did you get all the Breakthrough cards you wanted?
>>24608579
ToTT:As the guy who does the "quarterly 2 cases opening" schtick (except for Legendary Treasures since I bought 0 cases), I got everything BUT 0 FA Mewtwo Y EX when I opened 5 FA Mewtwo X EXI can't believe I might actually have to do this thing call "trading" now
>>24608599
>Buying 2 cases of BREAKshit
>>24608579
>Did you get all the Breakthrough cards you wanted?
Yeah, seeing as there were none.
Posed this question before somewhere; for those of you that buy the cards, do you find any value in the Pokemon pins that are included in some of the bundle packs?
I find it interesting to see what people's opinions are on the pins. Personally speaking, I've been collecting cards since they first came out over here, and very rarely finish a set...i just like looking at the different ones, getting some of the ones I want and then moving on.
But when I took a good look at the pins, I realized how goddamn high quality they are. They're really legit things..not like garbage ones you might find from the dollar store. They're pretty comparable to Disney pins or the ones from the Hard Rock Cafe.
And it surprises me that you can get them for relatively cheap prices online and stuff too; usually around $3-$5 or so. Comparable pins like I mentioned run from $12-$15.
Is there any value in them for card collectors? Do you guys collect them? or ditch them on ebay and just buy the packs for the cards?
>>24608579
ToTT yes I got 4 Jirachi
These little fuckers are awesome
>>24608612
It is not like I don't sell whatever I don't need,if it isn't for MUH CHARIZARDS and Lysandre I'd be disgusted at myself for buying Flashfire too
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
>>24608643
I never seriously bothered with the pin blisters, but I keep the Team Aqua / Magma ones since I bought Double Crisis
>>24608643
I love the pins. They don't sell for enough to bother with shipping and stuff, so nobody would actually sell them, I think. But I like 'em too much to ever sell them.
>>24608579
>ToTT: Did you get all the Breakthrough cards you wanted?
nope, still hunting for 3 Zoroarks and 1 Zoroark Break
also Super Rods, why the fuck nobody ever wants to trade for them?
>>24608683
What sort of zoroark variant are you going to run? Curious what people are doing with it.
>>24608683
Just buy the ones from Noble Victories or Dragon Vault if you want Super Rod that badly (if you are talking about real cards)
>>24608056
doesn't Kyogre EX snipe the bench or something? maybe he KOed some of your Eevees
>>24608698
Lots of people have been having problems with theta stop pokemon giving extra prizes. It doesn't happen consistently tough.
Why the fuck do people even waste tokens on posting trades like these?
>>24608714
Of course you would trade your Shaymins for Breakthrough packs, Octillery is the new king
>>24608714
The ones that amaze me the most are the 'X is getting [100 different cards] X is giving [100 different cards]'
Why are people hating on breakthrough
The mewtwo with the damage switch and the mega that's literally a better BW both seem pretty good, zoroarkbreak looks pretty good too and the art for breakchu is pretty
>>24608845
As a set overall it is rather mediocre and having it being so huge due to it being a combined product of 2 smaller sets, 2 BREAK packs, useless padding (the commons from the Legendary Shine Collection or whatever that is called), and shit rares didn't help either
>>24608579
ToTT: Went out today, nobody had any Sableye packs. I'm also the guy that pulled the 4 SR blue Mewtwos in TCGO.Reverse Rainbow is my favorite since I love reverse energies.
>Ran into 5 Suicune/Blastoise decks in a row now
Is some meme youtuber promoting the deck or what? Holy fuck.
>>24608959
What set is that Houndoom EX out of?
>>24609009
Same set as everything in that photo champ
>>24608845
Ironically the Mewtwo you talk about isn't even that playable because there's nothing reliable for Psychic acceleration.
The Mega on other hand is probably the best Pokemon to come out of the set besides maybe Zoroark.
>>24609013
>>24609013
Which is? Sorry man, I literally just started buying cards again a couple weeks ago after like a decade drought. The emblem in the corner doesn't match up with any of the ones I've got so I don't think I've seen that set yet.
>>24609033
XY BREAKthrough, came out last week.
>>24609038
thanks m8
>>24608845
Good cards I've noticed so far are Zoroark, Gallade, Empoleon, Mewtwo Y, Houndoom/Mega Houndoom, and the reprinted trainers. Noivern Break, Sableye, Magnezone, Raikou and Xerneas have potential but probably will never be higher than low tier 2, save Sableye who's going to be required for all Mewtwo decks.
>>24609048
>save Sableye who's going to be required for all Mewtwo decks.
no
>>24609051
How else are you going to accelerate energy onto Mewtwo? Shit you could go all in with Trick Coin and Compressor to get 3 in a turn.
>>24609059
Bronzong does it as an ability so you don't have to a.) waste your attack and b.) rely on coin flips or cram Trick Coin into the deck
Which pokemon do you think pairs with assault vest the best? It's a good card, it just needs the right partner.
>>24609163
None, it relies heavily on your opponent having special energy. There is no specific "right partner" for it, it'd be a good side if we had sides.
So zoroark can copy ANY attack with Just 1 energy? Wouldn't sororal with perhaps benched megatars and bats be insane? 1 energy to one shot everything
>>24609163
Aegislash EX
>>24609183
>copy ANY attack
no
active
>>24609183
>Need Zorua, Zoroark, Zoroark BREAK, Tyranitar-EX and M-Tyranitar EX, spirit link if you want to attack that turn
Seems kind of janky, but it could be potentially calamitous if you somehow got it to work.
>>24609172
of the meta decks in standard and expanded, there are only a couple of them that don't use special energy
if there is a pokemon that doesn't benefit much from muscle band or spirit links, assault vest should be great
>>24609188
let's not be retarded
>>24609183
Only the active, but yes, if you're playing against an energy intensive deck like Kyogre, Groudon, Tyranitar, Dragon Ray or Giratina it destroys them. Also lets you item lock Toad. It's fun to kill a Giratine with Chaos Wheel and their replacement can't play special energy.
>>24609183
Zoroark-Break only copies the opponent's active pokemon's attacks. M-Gengar copies any of your opponent's pokemon's attacks. Mew-Ex lets you use any attack in play, but you need the energy. Zoroark and Gengar rely on their opponent having good attacks.
>>24609198
>if there is a pokemon that doesn't benefit much from muscle band or spirit links
there's the problem
>>24609206
Zoroark has Mind Jack as well to mediate that.
>>24609192
>>24609200
>>24609206
Hm, is there a clever way to use him as a sort of bench super power then, probably not worth implementing him somehow in my tyranitar,
would breakchu and raikou work in a deck together. I really like the break in itself but it doesn't seem too good, raikou seems good and fun but I wanna use both of them
good fire types when?
>>24609347
Houndooms alright and the new fire energy is Perti decent
Well, I decided to go over to Frank and Son's with a friend of mine and we both bought a box of BREAKthrough each and we pulled these...

>>24608665
If I could blame getting into the tcg (and a new rekindling of love for pkmn) it'd be the fucking pins.
They're legit gorgeous and I'd dare say I'm more excited to collect those than cards.
I have the Team Aqua and Primal Kyogre pins so far, which I keep on my patch vest.
The only bad thing I have to say about them is that the backings don't like to stay on.
I was at the card shop on Thursday and had I not saw the black rubber backing hit the table, I could have lost it due to not noticing it's dissappearence.
I'm debating on just getting a hot glue gun and using it to firmly secure the pin to my kutte. And since it's hot glue, I could just peel it off with a bit of work if I ever wanted to move the pins somewhere else.
>>24608845

TPCi caught shilling.
>>24609498
Complaining to the devs has never done anything. They don't have to answer to the community, they answer to the owners and they will lie through their teeth to those people to keep their jobs. You need to convince the people paying the bills, that things are going horribly wrong.

Either way, we should just report it on sight. The "lol" poster may also be one of 'em.

Have they fixed online yet? Should I attempt to play it right now?
>>24610069
It's okay, the Zoroark from the most recent set and Float Stone's reprint helps it out a bit.
But to really bring it back, we needMax Potionback in the format.
Opened an Ancient Origins pack, got a M-Sceptile EX. Is that a good card?
>>24610557
lol
>>24610557
It's alright
Anyone else find the Damage Switch (or w/e it's called) Mewtwo EX annoying as fuck? You either OHKO or get keked to infinity.
>>24610839
what?
the damages are swapped
you hit it once and it swaps the damage to you
you hit it again and it can't swap to you since both pokemon have the same damage on it
>>24610865
It doesnt swap a second time, itKOS ou, then swaps the damage onto whatever comes out next.
>>24610875
are you implying it gets two attacks in a row?
I don't get it
I love how the blue Mewtwo is better with Y and the red one is better with X.
After 2 months of unlimited shifty, is there a "best list" to use. Mine seems really inconsistent recently.
You can't use Evosoda on your first turn even if you have Forest of the Giant Plants?
>>24610940
The restriction on evosoda and rare candy override the stadium's effect.
>>24610936
Have you run into a lot of wobbuffets recently?
who wins here?
>>24610982
Check other latios FAs, you could flip it for a profit.
>>24610982
Shit FAs are usually 2 packs.
>>24610980
There's still more non-wobbufets/thetas than there are wobbuffets/thetas, so donk is still good. Just remember the enable speedhacks while donking. The goal is speed, and koing wobbuffets/primal groudons takes time and lets your opponent play the game, negating the effects of your speedhacks.

>Scaling BREAKthrough at my local Target.
>A LOT of the packs are hitting my target weight.

Something tells me I should rescale the remainder and I get the feeling it has to do with BREAKs taking up the RH slot.
>>24611049
One store 29.5+ were holos.
Another 29.2.
Just get whatever is heaviest.
>>24611063
That's what I'm planning on doing, I already hit a pack that's a whopping 29.32 grams.
>>24611070
No, no, no, no. Buy the packs whose weigh is higher than 30g.
>>24611074
>Tells me to go for the heaviest packs.
>Tells me NOT to buy the 29.32g pack.
So, which is it?
>>24611110
29.5 - 30.2, dumbass. Go to another store or something baka.
Do you have a stupid card shop you can abuse?
>Card shop prices non-MTG products as the price they see online when they receive it and leave it like that until it's sold
>See a shitload of PLAY call of legends energy in the 2 dollar box
>Get all of them and have ~50 dollars in profit
>>24611120
Well, I rescaled the remainder and nothing was in the range you're telling me to look so I'm going to chalk up the difference to climate. Not to mention that weights vary by region.
29.10s are on the left and 29.20s are on the right.
Breakthrough has made a lot more fun decks than I expected. Mewtwo is pretty great.
>>24611164
I know you're in the middle of something, but how do you scale without getting yelled at? I wanna start but I should know how to do it stealthily before I do.
>>24611188
Nobody cares.
>>24611191
This to be honest.
>>24611188
>Grab some packs and put 'em in a basket, take a value product like an ETB or box to separate the basket into two sections (one with packs, one without)
>Go over to an empty aisle.

>Put the value product back unless you plan on purchasing it.

And there, you've successfully scaled your store.
But in the long run, >>24611188 has a point. The only folks that care are people that get pissed off by it, the security guards if they give a shit, and the vendors themselves on occasion.
Pull rates on Breakthrough seem fucked, I've pulled 7 FAs and only 2 regular art EXs.
Besides the horrible bigger changes, why the fuck did they ruin even little things like these. It's on player names etc. as well.

>>24611941

>>24611951
I don't know, I've gotten ACE SPECs from scaled packs before...
God I love Skyla being back. So fucking sick of the last cards in my deck always being the stadiums or items I need.
I had an idea.
We all hate the new PTCGO right? So why don't we start a group for one of the TCG sims like TCGone or LackyCCG?
Heck, why don't we take it a step further and make our own set of cards that are more balanced and morefun?
>mfw playing the new Gallade

Muscle Band and Enhanced Hammer because they're searchable
>>24612497
Yeah, I've got a playset of Bands and a singleton Stadium. I'm still in early days - I only just finished up all the trainer challenges.
I've only got one Hawlucha - it's made of paper but hits pretty disgustingly hard. Should I be aiming for 4 of them since EXs are so common in constructed?
>win 40 packs of breakthrough with tickets left over
>spend 21 building decks
>no idea what to do with the rest
Post fun decks.
>>24612534
Naw. From my experience, Hawlucha is a weightlifter in a land of giants. 60 base damage for 1 Energy would be great if you didn't have ways of dealing way more damage.
2 is enough. 3 if you have nothing better to run. 4 is too many and will lead to dead draws against non-EXes.
>>24612484
Fist symbol. You should care what's enhanced by Fighting Stadium and Machamp, not by what the video game says is Fighting-Type.

How does it feel knowing that someone is pulling the Mewtwo EX you want, while you get crap.
>>24612599
Torkoa really needs an evolution.
He's like the proto heatmor
>>24612598
Unless you can somehow Rare Candy first turn that is not happening
What happenes if you complete trainer challenge 100%? Like 5 star everything?
>>24612551
You could try this, just built it.
You can Metal Links onto regice and then Second Coat once it becomes active.
Thought about having raichu in here.

Oh boy...
How am I supposed to beat Yveltal-EX.dec? Evil ball is some bullshit.

Night March Joltik or a deck with AO Jolteon in the bench.

that will pop their bubble won't it?
please...

If my experience during the massive MTGO client update last year taught me anything, it's that devs will never change anything back because their egos are too big.
Guys! Guys!
I know how to make the game faster.
>Trainer/Item
>Turbo Energizer
>Attach one energy from your hand to one of your Active Pokemon then flip a coin. If heads, draw 3 cards. If Tails, draw 1 card.
How broken?
>>24612905
>item
The most broken card in the history of ever.
>>24612908
Are we YGO fast yet?
>>24612905
If we're going full retard sanic speed, why not just something like:
>Trainer/Support
>Both players take 3 Prize Cards.
Guys beginner here. I'm amazed how good full art trainer cards look. But you need a score of 2000 per challange to get one. With my beginner golurk deck i came as far as900. But I'm hitting a wall now. Whats a easy to make strong deck that makes 2000 posibble? Also whats the best theme deck now?
>>24612551
"Just fuck my hand up" Granbull
>>24612923
>Whats a easy to make strong deck that makes 2000 posibble?
A meme deck like 4x Ampharos-EX and 56 energy
>Also whats the best theme deck now?
Dark Hammer
Apparently I'm level 25. But I'm not. Also apparently I have no challenges. But I should.
Wut?
>>24612918
Make that a stadium card and we have a deal
>mfw 4 prizes for knocking out an EX
>last game in tourney
>playing against complete max rarity/SR mega fug
>check deck after
>only playing 2 ultra balls so as not to tarnish his full rarity deck
FREE PACKS
>>24612936
Basic Red still shits on Dark Hammer from my experience. Havent tested Blue and Green yet.
It appears they also made the daily challenges harder. I've never seen a 1000 dmg one before.
>>24612950
>mfw I pulled that Chatot from one of my tradeable packs last night
>>24612951
Basic Red really, really misses Teammates and the second stadium to get Delphox up faster. Entei is nice though. The biggest reason to use Basic Red is that nobody uses Basic blue anymore.
>>24612950
BT Chatot R is the ultimate meme card?
>>24612955
They havent, the daily challanges get harder once you hit a certain level.
If you thought 12 knock out challenge was tedious wait till you're hit with 16 one.
>>24612923
>Whats a easy to make strong deck that makes 2000 posibble?
I'd personally recommend Wobbuffet, but nightmarch is cheaper and faster.
>Also whats the best theme deck now?
Green. Now that the fastest accelerating deck is gone, and you're given card draw it's extremely easy to set up one of your insane stage 2s.
>>24612963
definitely the most rage inducing
is it a good deal?
>>24613003
Lol that's the trade I made some hours ago. Pls gimme.
>>24613007
you dun goofd
I think this can be better, but I don't know where to start. Maybe it needs hand refresh supporters?
>>24611941
Hah, I got better things from 5 unscaled packs
Well deserved desu you fucking faggot scaler
>>24613057
remove steven, brigette, PCL, fisherman, tierno and aegislash
max out sycamore, vs seeker and ultra ball, add 3-4 shauna/birch, 1 hex maniac, super rod, and maybe 1 more switch
ten games in, and thanks to shit like this happening literally every match i barely made any progress with my 2 psychic challenges
its like the game knows i want to complete the challenge and purposefully fucks with me
>>24613057
run two of kirlia so you don't win 100% of your games against item locks
-2 brigette
-1/2 miltank
-1 fisherman
-1/2 giovannis scheme
-steven
idk about tierno
+1 shaymin (hehe you are probably poor)
+ birches idk how many
+ 1 vs seeker
+ strong energy
+1 hex
+1 ultraball
+hawlucha would be good in this as alternate target for korinna
fan club is better in thist deck than brigette
consider a single skyla next to the korinnas as she also hits the stadium and other supporters
and she is an easy supporter you can play any turn for the extra damage
>>24613091
*so you don't lose 100% of your games...
hahaha
>>24613078
>>24613091
B-But I want to show everybody my FA Waifu ;_;:
>>24612967
Got an example of a wobbufet and night march deck? Or anybody else for that matter :) will those decks allow me to reach 2000?
Nothin wrong with the update, you're just whiny babies
>>24613134
>>24613128
standard nightmarch
pretty strong in my opinion
korinna and teammates are amazing in this
>>24613128
http://pastebin.com/3ApwWZkW
This is my list. Probably unoptimised since I haven't given a shit about improving it in a few hundred matches.
Gengar-ex are probably only two packs each, and you can replace the Shaymin-ex with stuff like hammer, ultra balls, etc. Battle Reporter is a tech choice to deal with Metagross scum, even though it's worse at that than Red Card or Judge.
>will those decks allow me to reach 2000?
Anything will if you spend enough time, but I've managed to maintain a pretty good winrate, and started a collection of dumbfucks playing Shaymin-ex into Wobbuffet.
>>24613188
>>24613128
and since you seem to be just starting here have a budget build that should be a little slower but should still work out.
just don't play your energy until you attack
you'll never need more than one turn to get ready to attack
(you can drop single fightings over two turns onto a marcher of course if you find the time)
>>24613198
the person who posted this is cute
CUTE
Are there any top elec decks atm?
Was thinking a braichu mmanectric
Thanks people for poating night march and wubbuet decks! I do got 1 shaymin ex (first pack the system gives you ever, so thata cool i guess). Will try wobbufet first sinxe i already gor a bumch required cards. Will also ty night march later!
>Keep trying to win tournaments so I can get Gallade to use
>Keep losing because I only have 1 Gallade that is always prized
>>24613215
Magnezone EX
>>24613057
Why would this deck use fighting energy instead of steel energy? Even fairy energy makes more sense.
>>24613215
m-manectric/filler
So which Mewtwo-EX is the superior one? Raw damage and shield or psychic energy stacking and damage swapping?
>>24613736
The red one
>>24608579
This is a dumb question, but I don't play the TCG much so. Can you use energy cards from older sets, or do you have to use the ones in the current format. Because my deck uses water energies, and some of them are from Arctic Frost.
>>24613899
Yeah you can use old energys.
For example you can use old potions , old ultraballs etc. , but you can't use the same card in another languaje in official tournaments , if you are from USA you cant' use japanese cards, this apply to japanese energies too
>>24613913
Huh, neat.
>>24608579
>ToTT: Did you get all the Breakthrough cards you wanted?
Pretty much, pic related.
Mega Mewtwo with fairy engine is a lot of fun, its like a better Mega Gardevoir.
>>24613899
You can use any basic energy from any set, but not every special energy. Right now you can use the old double colorless and rainbow energies in standard.
>>24612671
You get like five packs
I wouldn't recommend grinding for it, Ladder is worth more coins
>>24613950
That applies to item cards too? Like Rare Candy and Ultraball that get reprints every now and then?
>>24613968
correct
How do we feel about TCG tubers? Like abluegolfball e DarkIntegralGaming?
>>24613994
most of them are shit at the game
>>24613994
The worst thing I can say about DIG is that sometimes the decks he makes are kind of shitty, and sometimes he makes bad plays. But considering how shitty most youtubers are, I still like him.
>>24614011
I like to watch him because he is very charismatic
I hate how chat no longer pops up on-screen so people can't tell they're being insulted

Pooka was the only one that was good at the game, good at explaining shit and fun to watch. Once you've watched his stuff, you just can't watch anything else, the rest are shit.

And we will never have a video from him again.
>>24614243

We need someone to fill the void.
Or, we could try to make someone....

>>24608691
I'm not that anon, but I played against it on the PTCGO Standard tournament. They were playing it with Gengar and Malamar.
>>24614317
I made the question because I'm thinking about do an youtube channel, but my mother language isn't English, besides being fluent at it, I would like to do ENG content but my country has such a minor number of haters...
reprint when?
>>24614574
What are the odds of a card this old being reprinted? I mean XY8 Dodrio looks a bit like the old Dodrio, but isn't a reprint
I love how when you win a few games in a row the game will start giving you the shittiest possible starting hands. 3 Hoopa starts in a row, one with both Shaymin prized.
>>24614574
not for a while
there is already a card in the format that does something similar and if you were to combine the two shit would be comical
Holy shit, my opponents never have the advantage.
Bonus VS points for winstreaks when?
>>24614860
What they need to do is drop the final reward of the ladder back down to 760, or whatever is was. matches take way too long now.
>>24614898
I'd be all for that. Have the FA at the 780 point.
After that, just goodies for the few that sit through
these god awful animations. Make it endless if you
want, load it up with shitty chests or packs at milestones.
>>24614860
Because all the good and serious players already quit the game and all you're left with is retarded 8 year olds who only play memedecks.
Hey guys, Im new to the game. I just want to play the game semi competitively/collect most of the cards.
Is it a good investment buying a booster box every month for the next dew months to try and catch up with the XY cardpool?
