Cheers to all opponents, had some awesome games.
@ItzPerka I actually think it’s simpler than that. Armor will still exist, but refills won’t drop. Still keeps blue purple and gold around as a mechanic, but you are basically playing with no armor for a long time
I’ve seen a lot of posts about the TCGs new format. It’s not the best, but it’s far from the worst.
Pult is annoying but way less oppressive than Gardy. Decent ammount of deck diversity too!
Some of y’all would have never survived the tag team era, just sayin.
@Catscollecttcg Legacy seems like actually a pretty solid option for prize trading in your advantage! Not only that, but also acts as an extra out to a different energy. Kinda seems like a win win. Stamp still has the chance to provide extra draw with a chance to brick opponent
@Catscollecttcg 14 energy is pretty heavy, but I understand what the need is. Was considering cutting one, other than that the list is already heavily optimized. If you manage to Wellspring early the energy does not become an issue
@PaulTassi@Forbes Been maining Destiny Rising ever since Ash and Iron. Ash and Iron spit in peoples faces. If you play actively on Rising you can literally get every character for free. With no more pinnacle energy, I’ve been playing the game non stop some nights. It’s only getting better.
Returned to the Pokemon TCG after a decent Hiatus due to IRL issues. Got lucky enough to make it to Orlando! Unfortunately there was a bunch of Gardy to bully me out on day 1. Not optimal bolt, but super fun. I’ll play better at the next one. Looking forward to rotation now!
@ZachLesagePTCG As someone who’s been testing the list as well, the list needs a rescue board/balloon or any supporter switch card. It feels pretty rough when you start the roselia or support 1 prizer.
@SupahGassy The less it’s played, the more it’s unexpected, the more fun the matches become. Eevee box and Tera box are my favorite decks at the moment
@FOBISFORLOVERSS My deep fear is due to all the AI debacle last year, Julie won’t be cast again as Sam and therefore was written out of the story. I hope she does return though. Bo6 was such a tragedy.
@RollBro Happens here as well, every single year. I feel it’s most prominent in November - April due to the format being slightly bloated before rotation. Once rotation happens you get the thrill of trying to crack the new meta.
@RZGladysz I thoroughly enjoyed reading through this article. Looking forward to tinkering with my own version of the deck throughout this season. Only thing that seems like a big consideration like you noted is for sure a second water energy.
Top 4* at LAIC Sao Paulo 🇧🇷
I managed to Top 4 while sleeping on the airplane on my way back. Idk how...
Mega Lucario was again the MVP
