How to progress in PTCGO, tl;dr edition:
>complete all Trainer Challenges (Cheat Engine's speedhack strongly recommended to speed up AI games)
>play through using Basic decks to unlock them for versus play
>farm Versus Mode theme ladder for Tokens and Tournament Tickets
>Enter Theme format tournaments whenever possible
>enter Standard/Expanded ticket tournaments and accept that you'll lose
>you'll get tradable tournament chests and sometimes tradable packs
>DON'T OPEN THEM
>Instead, trade them for the cards you actually want for a deck you want to build, most cards go for like 1-3 packs each.
>Public trade is like the GTS, if you want proper results, put up your own offers.
>if you don't know what deck you want to build yet, see http://www.pokebeach.com/forums/forum/tcg-competitive-play.156/ or check out tournament results for a list of viable decks http://www.pokemon.com/us/play-pokemon/state-province-championships-2016/decks/week-four/
To see what your PTCGO stuff is worth, look on the PTCGO forums in the trading section. Top Cut & other big trading companies will typically overprice cards, expect to get lower

Nope, if it wasn't tournament I might have but I'm not expending resources to do it.

Basic red.

Yo mean XY Basic Red right?
No one would ever use OG Basic Red.
If I only have 1 shaymin is there a way to work around this?

Add some energies, maybe some other pokemon besides Shaybae-EX until you have 60 cards

Tried going to that link, but it says I don't have permission to view it.
Found some old cards and wondered if someone could help me out with their worth.

Nice selection, hope you don't pull a shit

Asked last thread but, how much should I fork over for a B&W secret Zekrom/Reshiram?
>>27041713
$20
>get my Generations ETB
>pull Charizard-EX and Articuno, that's it
>no reverse rares or energy
>no radiant URs
Generations having good pull rates is a myth, I've gotten one UR for every 6-8 packs since February. I got better pulls from the shiny tins.
>>27042749
>I had bad luck
>therefore everyone's lying
I've had a lot of success with Generations, but now that the cards are all worthless (<=$6) except M Charizard and Jolteon I only buy one of each new product as it comes out.
How many Roaring Skies packs could I get for FA Kingdra-EX and FA Alakazam-EX?
Also, it's been a while since I played and I notice trades cost tokens now. Do you get them back if your trade expires or is it as shitty as I think it is?
Does anyone know how much is full art Flareon EX from Generations worth?
I pulled one recently and my friend says it can go for a lot, but I looked around and the highest price I saw was $9. Was he lying or I'm not looking hard enough?
>>27043029
>FA Kingdra-EX
1
>FA Alakazam-EX?
2-3, but if you're buying it maybe you can get it for 1 RS
>Do you get them back if your trade expires or is it as shitty as I think it is?
You don't get them back
The idea is that they're a minor deterrent to trade spam
But you shouldn't be posting anything other than 8-hour trades, and 8 tokens is literal change.
>>27041205
I did. Wanted Gengar EX/Regigigas EX - got a spit in my face.
>>27043148
>The idea is that they're a minor deterrent to trade spam
Yeah, I remember spam being pretty bad. It just sucks because I basically just started and barely have anything.
>>27043146
$5.
>>27043158
Funnily enough, even if you spent MSRP on those packs, you could have just bought half a playset of both of those with the money instead.
Been farming AI's for booster packs and tokens and at least I got one Shaymin-EX from one of the packs I bought.

Man Liepard in Legacy is so much fucking fun. Too bad it's kind of slow.
>>27049754
Deck list?
>>27049884
Actually fuck this it's not fun to N myself into 4 darkness energy and 2 useless dark patches 3 game sin a row and lose.
>>27049884
>>27049985
>have a game where I flip 10 tails in a row
>next game is Weavile and I get to Volt Bolt opponent's Weaviles while an Egg sits active
It can beat anything but all it takes is one bad hand to fuck you over. Then again most of my losses with any Legacy deck come from the same shit. I don't know why N is such an energy magnet in that format but not in Expanded or Standard.
>>27051430
This looks like a hot mess. How are you even using half of those Pokemon?
>>27053447
Judging by the deck build, he's only using them to give Liepard additional attacks via Assist.
The problem with that is the coin flip, which is somewhat mitigated by Victini.
>>27053614
Oh, I was looking at the wrong Liepard. They all have the same fucking art.
