standard, always.

unless you're testing for spring regionals there's really no reason to build an expanded deck before a standard one

>>25961748
I am a new player, but aren't a lot of the cards you mentioned last thread expanded and beyond?
I'm missing a few cards from a Trev deck, would anyone be able to help me complete it? Don't have too much to trade, but I have packs.
>>25958897
>mfw I just pulled this in a non tradeable pack
Better than nothing I guess
>>25961781
Yeh. I exclusively play expanded. Too many ppl running Night March in standard but if you are new that is where you should be. Expanded gives access to more cards which i like.I play team plasma in legacy.

the thing is, one LGS said they had a sealed booster box, but they are holding it for a dude until the end of the night.
How easy is it to cancel Amazon Prime?
Full Magnezone line for 2 BP is an ok deal right? Especially considering its from the RS set?
>>25962465
If you mean a 4-4-4 line, then you're overpaying.
Also, it's from BT, not RS.
>>25962475
I meant 1 magneton, 1 magnezone, and 1 magnemite. You are saying I should be able to get 4 of each for 2 packs?
>>25962500
I'm saying you can push for 4-4-4 off one pack, or 1 BP + 1 filler at most.
>>25962398
Amazon Prime isn't an issue, but most if not all Pokemon TCG products are FBA items.

So just so I am understand the terminology, you are saying 4 of each? Wow thats a lot. How do I get someone to take this, just set up a public trade and hope for the best?
>>25963018
I just straight up play different card games instead.
>>25962638

$1.50 mew/celebi pins. I bought one of each :|
I just opened like 50 packs and this was what I pulled in the last one. The question is should I sell it on Ebay or not...
>>25963018
I just play with my group of friends, and because so few people go to Pokemon League on Wednesday nights where I live they just let us take one free Pokemon League card and Pokemon League energy each week.
This is the shit I currently have. I am waiting just a tad longer on the VS Seekers because of the reprint (Hopefully we get it) Otherwise I'll buy them next time I get paid.
Other than that I am pretty happy with this.
Any suggestions?
>>25963880
I love how blatant the game can get with favoring players. 10 heads 0 tails versus 0 heads 7 tails is pretty stupid.

Not him, but I've been selling cards for months now through a proxy account and I haven't been touched.
Come on, Binder Guy. You keep dropping these disinfo posts, it's making me lose what little respect I had for you.
>>25964092
>proxy account
And there's the key word, you're at least smart about it in the same way my business partner is about reselling Pokemon Center merchandise at our stall at Frank and Son's.
>You keep dropping these disinfo posts.
Because some of us actually read the TCGO's ToS and eBay's policy on selling digital goods.
>>25964391
Reading a TOS and actually experiencing it are two very different things. If you have no experience challenging the TOS and selling these cards, then you shouldn't be giving advice.
>>25962515
Are you sure cuz those trading sites say its 1.5 value for just magnezone

I'm just telling folks it's better to be safe than sorry from stories I've heard and an experience that a friend of mine had, it's not worth a ban if you're doing it from your main account.
Is there even anything in BW Base worth opening for besides the FAs?

Ok but what are the chances someone has all those, and is willing to trade, and isn't a trading company. They will just have to stumble upon my trade posting.

I'm already running 4 dive balls. I could run 4 Ultra Ball tho.

>>25964184
>+2 Shaymin EX or +2 Remoraid +2 Octillery
If only.
>>25964882
4 Dive Balls are nice but those Ultra Balls can help you out too. Having outs to your Pokemon in a deck like this is always good. Obviously you'd run 8 Dive Balls if you could.
4 Rough Seas is a bit much, 3 is probably a safe bet.
A 2-2 Octillery line is still playable in this deck. It's one of the few decks that actually does not need Shaymin EX.

How many RS packs would a set of bats be worth?

Wonder energy is bullshit.
Completely shuts down any deck that's not direct damage.
How do you guys deal with toad (without virizion)? Apparently wonder energy ,suicune, Latios' light pulse etc. don't work because item lock doesn't effect your Pokémon but the player. Only times I win is when I'm lucky enough for them to have a bad start or I out damage them. I get super pissed if they run it with malamar lasers and virbank.

Welcome to the 2015 competitive season.

Can somoeone link me to the dragon deck that uses giratina/hydreigon/latias?
I don't know what it's called

So it stops instant KO Gengar and nothing else really. That's hardly bullshit. Maybe squirrelshit at best.
What are the best trainer or Pokemon cards that can replace ShyminEX?
Been having rotten luck getting one irl.
The last few Roaring skies I open have been nothing but FA Hydragon and FA Wally.
>>25969453
>spending on packs to get a card
>and not just buying the fucking card
At any rate, Octillery BRP is good for draw support. After that it's just a matter of how many Acro Bikes and Trainers Mails you want to run.
Get ready for codes....
Lots and lots of codes....
>>25969889

prolly 4 or 5 hours
gonna try streaming the opening on Jewtube so you cans can watch if ur interested

Hope youweighedthat box before getting it.

Breakpoint has variable weighed code cards so...
>go to dollar tree

Pretty happy desu.
waiting on final round in tournament. Clock stuck saying 0:00 until next round. Pretty sure this has been longer than the usual wait at this point. Wat do
It keeps happening
What's the best/worst luck with coinflips you've had in a match?
>>25970865
Happened to me I just kept waiting and it went to it eventually
>>25970466
I did the same thing with OA
>>25970907
I think my worst is not game overrall, it is when one of my opponents hit for 220 with a "flip until tails" attack.
So I'm thinking of going to Fates Collide prerelease next week about how long until the codes from those packs become redeemable in the game?
>>25971163
They're redeemable the week of the pack's release, generally the day of.
>>25971110
nice. I tried weighting these packs, but you cant know if you are getting a FA, UR, RH, or Holo.
Hello anons! It's me again! I bought some new cards, the Jirachi pack thingy to be more specific, now I only have 3 codes this time (I think, 2 packs and one for the Jirachi card), so I guess if you'd like I could draw out some pokemon with the codes alongside like last time!
>>25971523
Stantler locking horns with a Sawsbuck?
>>25971550
I actually wouldn't know how to draw that, never drawn anything even close to it

Something like this but with Pokemans.
>>25971523
mewtwo ty
>>25971523
Venomoth please.
What the fuck is a Prerelease?
>>25971595
you get some packs & play with people
get a prerelease promo
>>25971523
you only get one code in the Jirachi collection.
>>25971595
casual get-together where you play around with cards from the new set. You usually get to take some with you after the event. Go if you can. They're fun.
>>25971523
You only get one code with Jirachi. It'll give you the card + 2 generations boosters when you enter it online.
>>25971615
>>25971635
Yeah I only just noticed that now when I was going through my cards...
thinking about streaming my opening of >>25969889 in a little bit if anybody is interesting in seeing what I pull. may also post some of the codes as well
>>25971722
Sure why not
Okay here it is, I'm not too good at drawing Venomoth it seems.
>>25969889
Oh, where did you buy that? I much prefer physical over digital
>>25971824
A LGS in Minnesota. Paid a little bit over retail for it, but the people there were super cool.
>>25971805
>look away for 1 second

Why does one person need so many battle compressors?
>>25971896

Hell yeah Venomoth. Someday we'll get Venomoth EXand it'll be shit
>>25971835
Ah, not even in the same country, what is the box itself called? TGC BreakPoint? Might be able to find it online to order or something.
>>25971523
The Generation packs themselves don't have a code card inside.
Instead, the single Jirachi code awards the Jirachi promo, Jirachi sleeves, and two Generations packs.
>>25971924
yup, breakpoint. what country are you?
>>25971930
The UK
>>25971987
buy this then

what's the max amount of tournament tickets you can have?
>grinding the legacy challenge with a modified basic bw green deck containing what few notable bw pulls I got
It turns out when those 3 notable pulls are Celebi Prime, Genesect-EX, and Computer Search, people start conceding just because they assume your deck is completely nuts.
>>25971896
buy two for a pack, sell em for a pack each. Easy money.
>>25969889
my pulls so far
14/36 packs in. still waiting for that FA
got a gold vs seeker for trade...will it fetch me a shaymin?
>>25972592
SR VS Seeker is 5-8
Reg Art Shaymin is 15-18
>>25972592
It's worth about half a Shaymin I think, you might be able to find someone willing though.

I feel like you could run this deck with 2 Birch's Observations and 2 Judges instead
>>25972847
lol
>>25972847
You would be wrong. Notice all the -1s? Notice the mere 4 Supporter core?
>>25972867
>>25972874
What would be used as draw support if you're too poor for $160 worth of Shaymins?
>>25972889
You would use another deck.
>>25972889
I wouldn't run the deck.
>>25972713
>>25972774
The whole point is to get vileplume item lock early but then you can't battle compressor. I dont think you thought this through. Also full shaymin is asking for Lysandre.
>>25972984
>I dont think you thought this through
>He literally just copy+pasted the deck that won multiple States
PTCGO General, everyone
>>25972998
My bad. I only play the online client. The times I have used vileplume weren't successful. Ran it with giratina. Had to use vileplume since I don't have any toads. Did not try it with vespiquen. Luckily ppl don't run steel too often because you would autolose against aegislash ex.
Did something happen with pic related? I'm suddenly getting them for stupidly cheap. I thought they were 40+ RS?
I'll never get skyla. Two packs aren't enough and duplicates keep on coming. Also walmart no longer carries the generations (mew was the only one) and i see these big boxes costing from 20 dollars for a pack of 4 cards.
>>25973472
turns out they're not even close to a good night march counter.
>>25973533
Then can you explain why almost every States-winning deck is running 1-2?
Obviously nothing counters Night March. The deck wouldn't be Tier 0 otherwise; by definition, it's uncounterable. But that doesn't magically make a card less valuable or viable.
I mean, look at Trevenant almost tripling in price despite it not even being the best deck.
>>25973533
I haven't seen celebi during march nor jirachi this month. Great now i might miss Arceus. And i hate the fact the card asile is grouped with random shit nobody would buy. God, it only has fourth an asile.
>>25966841
I'm sure I've played you before. Does anyone else seem to play a lot of the same people over and over again?
>>25973525
If you mean regular Skyla, you can get four of them for $2 on ebay, and potentially cheaper if you shop local.
And if you want a specific card, gambling on packs is the most absolutely retarded course of action. Just drop the $12 for the BP FA if that's what you meant.
Also, no version of Skyla comes in Generations.
>>25973575
There is a versus leader board but in game client shows nothing.
>>25973615
I'm talking about breakpoint. Has anyone bought those boxes?
>>25973629
>paying $100 to gamble for a $12 card
>which you probably won't even get
If someone actually admits to having bought Pokemon product, you shouldn't be listening to their opinion in the first place.
>>25973644
Oh god, it's this fucking retard again.
Why is it hard pulling out rare cards?
Daily reminder that the new wheel is shit and I hate it.
>>25973619
I guess they must just be in a similar timezone/around the same level on the ladder
>>25973644
I'm talking about those 20 dollar ones
Anyone have a good list for Raichu/Zoroark? I was playing Raichu/Bats but kept bricking and always had the bats ending up being next to useless
>>25973654
I'm giving you legitimate, viable advice that will save you almost one hundred official gold-backed United States dollars.
If you want a card, buy it. Don't throw away money for no reason.
>>25973673
Regular Skyla is $0.50.
Breakpoint Full Art Skyla is $12.
So if you mean the $20-$30 Boundaries Crossed one, I'm legitimately surprised you found any store still selling that pack.
And BC boxes sell for over $140, so you should still buy it as a single.
>>25970466
>>go to dollar tree
Whoa whoa whoa. ...i did not know about this.
>>25973711
No you fucking retard, that anon is talking about the $20 boxes, not an actual booster box.
But to be fair buying the $20 boxes for one $12-16 card is pretty fucking retarded too.
My pulls from my Breakpoint Booster Box. Kinda bummed I only got one FA, but whatever.
>tfw most of these are just sitting here because I'll never use them
This tradelock bullshit is fucking stupid
>>25973856
>Breakpoint Booster Box.
20 dollars correct? More chances of rarities?
I wish they sell the generations set here. All i see is charizard, but i want legends.
>>25973888
no, my Latino friend. the box I got these from cost $110 Ameribucks.
>>25973856
Shit, sorry for those pulls man
>>25973908
I hope you got cards in the 100s like Skyla.
Post pulls or RNG will forever fuck you
>>25973953
>tfw forever too slow to get the codes
>>25973953
>>25974001
I managed to get one 4 minutes after they were posted. Unfortunately it was not a good pack.
>>25973856
Shit pulls man. At least you won't have problems selling the Garchomp, Greninja and Trevenant right away.
>>25974103
>>25973919
I don't understand how those are shit pulls. Those BREAKs are worth as much as or more than all of the other EX's he pulled. Plus the full art Gyarados is nice.
>>25974128
>Gyarados
I somehow got all 3. Yes,including the secret rare.
XX(see)-M(three)ST-ANH-YVU
AV(six)-TMJ7-(seven)HW-9B9

>>25974128
This is like the worst amount of holos and full arts you can get in a box, he should have at lease 3-4 more holo rares and another full art to get "good" pulls, I might be wrong but I think you should expect 4 breaks at least in a box too.
>>25974146

>>25974128
In terms of competitive viability, only Greninja and Trevenant are playable.
In terms of raw value,
Slowking, Suicune, and Aegislash are under a dollar each
Golduck, Garchomp, and Togekiss are $2 each
M Scizor, Palkia, Darkrai, Trevenant, and Gyarados FA are $7 each
M Gyarados and Greninja are $10 each
So he paid $110 for a box and got about $65 worth of cards, only two of which are competitively viable.
Not to mention he can't actually BUILD any of those decks, since you'll need multiple copies of each of those cards to put something coherent together.
>>25974128
In my BREAKpoint box I got:
1x Greninja BREAK
1x Golduck BREAK
2x Darkrai-EX
1x Ho-Oh-EX
1x Ho-Oh-EX FA
1x Espeon-EX FA
1x Gyarados-EX SR
1x M Gyarados-EX
1x M Scizor-EX
1x Emboar-EX
1x Manaphy-EX
3x Garchomp
4x Max Potion
2x Fighting Fury Belt
3x Max Elixir
5x Max Potion
4x Puzzle of Time
>>25974267
Every single card in BREAKpoint is $10 or less, with the sole exception of Skyla FA. You either do good by getting lucky with the number of EX's or FA's you pulled or if you get a decent number of $2 staples like Puzzle, Max Potion, FFB etc.
>>25974267
>>25974269
meh, it was my first Booster Box. As a collector I like what I got. You win some, you lose some.
>>25974329
Well, at least opening a box is fun.

>>25974378
no, it's random, or they're already weighed pre breakpoint

Opening boxes are fun. Pack opening in general is fun. You just have to go into with the mindset that you're probably not going to make your money back.
>>25974409
People need to understand this.
>>25974405
I got some ducks.
>>25974472
That stops being an excuse when you're spending literal hundreds of dollars on boxes just for the pleasure of ripping a piece of plastic in half.
>>25974492
If you're living comfortably and not spending your food or rent money on pokemon cards then who cares lmao. Get down off of your high horse mate!
>>25974526
>thinking there's a position of moral superiority when talking about a children's card game
Why do people try so hard to justify wasting money?
>>25974396
>weighed
Means what?
>>25974546
Because people waste money on entertainment literally all the time.
>>25974550
Someone came into the store with a gram scale, weighed each pack, bought the heaviest packs (the packs with holos, which have foil on them that make them heavier) and left the holo-less packs behind.
>>25973711
First of all, dollars are no longer backed up by gold.
Second, theres this thing called expendable money and having fun
Thats why most people buy boxes.
>>25974546
I have fun opening packs, as much as I like to eat a fancy food, and since I have enough money for some of both, why not both?
>>25974564
But doesn't each pack have one or two holos? And can tell the weight without a gram scale?
>>25974602
>But doesn't each pack have one or two holos?
Reverse Holos weigh less than Holo cards (Rares, Ultra Rares, Secret Rares).
>And can tell the weight without a gram scale?
If you can distinguish hundredths of a gram by yourself, sure.
>>25974592
Ding ding ding ding.
If only yhat retard would understnd that most of us have jobs then he would post less.
I wonder if he's even got a driver's license.
So the more grams, the better?
>>25974663
Are you fucking stupid?
>>25974602
There is a small difference in 0.X grams from a SR FA card and a common rare card. I don't know about the new packs, but old ones had easily a difference of 1 or even 2 grams, iirc, they were around 20 grams each pack.
>>25974691
Newer packs have a counter to this.
Whenever theres a holo/FA in the pack, the code card weighs less than it would normally, as a way to balance it out.
Its still possible to scale packs, but harder.
>we're still not able to see how many of something someone has
Seriously why
s-so.... anyone get any good pulls this weekend?
Post pulls you stupid fucking spics
Just pulled this.
so much garchomp on the client tonight. Whats a good fuck-garchomp deck?
>>25975516
It's in the OP.
>>25975402
So what, it's DOGSHIT and not FA
>>25975541
Every card in every recent set is dogshit.
>>25975584
Not on the same level as badness as m mewtwo x
>>25975776
At least M Mewtwo EX is worth some money
>>25975516
Any heavy non-ex non-dark decks
If you could ban any one card for the sake of the health of the game, which would it be?
my personal choice would be battle compressor... having stuff discarded should rarely be beneficial. there's only ever been 3 pokepowers or abilities to accelerate energy from the discard and 1 trainer that did it, but it was harder to use. BC (and NM) wouldn't be broken had they never banned Lysandre's Trump Card.
>>25976174
Banning BC would literally fix the entire format.
>>25976174
BC isn't in legacy is it? I forgot to look when building a deck to try and push through the 15 win challenge. So much slower.
I've bought 5 booster packs, only good thing I pulled was Mega Fug EX which I can sell for 23 in eBay and get my money back.
I have never played IRL, and don't even have a deck, yet I'm buying packs.
Why.
>>25976453
Haha get ready to spend all your money on cards.
Why are coin flips so samey? You either get all heads in clusters or all tails. Same goes for my opponents.
>>25976477
There is something genuinely unsettling about how the RNG is handled in the online game. Its especially obvious in the shuffling. Everything clumps really badly. Opening hands often have a ton of duplicates of certain cards and none of others that you really need.
I wish the shuffle animation didn't look like garbage. Maybe something closer to dueling network? Or better yet crank the speed up or disable all animations on everything so games run as smooth as they did before the update. I have to use cheat engine at 2x speed otherwise the game is unbearably slow.

waw every card is a mirror card, I need to get me a box of this
>>25976470
Should I make a deck since I'll be spending so much?
What are some cool ones out there? Is there any decks with Gallade or Ampharos out there? Maybe Infernape or Sceptile?
Is it worth buying those packs with like 5 booster packs + special holo card? I don't know much about TCG yet. I saw one with Ash Greninja and Charizard, looked cool.
>>25976619
>those pull ratios
What the fuck.
>>25976810
they arent that good, normal japanese box gives 4 ultra rare with a chance of full art + 6 holo. this has no full art, the cards are worth less, and it costs twice as much as a normal box.
>>25976453
I only play competitive online and collect in real life. If I get enough cards though or have the money to, I may recreate the deck I use online currently.
>>25976828
Except every pack has two playable rares and an EX. If you care about building a deck this set is a goldmine.
>>25976843
it won't be this good if it's ever released in english. we already just got a reprint set that will be selling for the rest of the year.
>>25976843
also you only get 10 packs, not 20 like a normal box.
>>25976869
Yeah but if you only care about pulling good cards to play with you'd buy packs of those over others and get way more bang for your buck.

I bought 4 Dollar Tree packs today and pulled this fucker.
>why buy boxes and normal packs when you can pull this kinda shit in a $1 pack
>>25977280
I did this last week. Went back and their PC box I got to was gone. They had a totally empty Breakpoint one. Someone beat me to them.
Should I do this? I want this line. And to the anon who said I can get 4 of each for 1 pack, you just can't ive been trying.
>>25977280
How many do they come with? I live in Canada and they are 1.25, and they are 3 in a pack. So they come out to be more expensive, and they don't come with ptcgo codes
>>25977775
you only need 1-2 magneton
anyways magnezone decks are pretty bad right now
try cutting the AO for now
someone should accept it
>>25977826
I countered 1 RS
>>25977775
>that name
I see you didn't get banned/make a new account
>>25977775
you can get these from the theme deck. save your tradable packs and use gold instead.
Shame N won't be legal in time for my country's Nationals. Oh well, I can ninja with Ns.
>>25978121
Yeah it eventually just started working thankfully
>>25978308
>I can ninja without Ns
ija, if you will you.
>>25978269
Which theme deck?
>>25978308
Use ace trainer
Is there any particularly useful support for this guy? I've just been running some basic stuff with it, but I feel as though I can do better.
>>25978341
Judge
>>25978319
Yeah, I'll probably use a mix of Ace Trainer and Judge to make up for lack of N.
>>25978451
When does the next expansion come out in your country, where do you live
