I'm bracing myself for the day I hear some gen-alpha kid try to tell me that they've got a new term for bland, mass-produced industrial food and they're calling it, "food slop."
Here's a full look at the trailer debuted at Pokémon Worlds for the TCG, including new Mega Evolution Pokémon ex cards and the upcoming set ex★!!
#PokemonTCG
Just played the most unlikely #PokemonTCG game of my life.
Playing my Slowking Dusknoir deck at @Top_Deck_Keep Worlds Celebration.
My opening hand was Ultra Ball, Poke Pad, Meowth ex, Wondrous Patch, Psychic Energy, my one Switch, and a couple others I forget.
Have to start Meowth in active, so no supporter. Going 2nd vs N's Zoroark. They flip N's Reshiram, attach energy, pass.
I play Ultra Ball to find a Mega Kangaskhan, intending to switch into it to piece together some desperation play. No Kang in deck. Both prized (0.8% odds).
I get a Smoochum and one Slowpoke, use the switch and accelerate energy. I tell my opponent, "I'd really appreciate it if you cut the deck so I'll top deck a Lillie's Determination.
I top-decked a Lillie's Determination.
So I shuffle up and prepare for a deck cut and say, "Okay, now it would be great if you could make sure I draw Secret Box."
I drew Secret Box.
I had everything I needed, no more, no less, to Kyurem attack with zero cards in hand for the win. I was speechless. I really should go buy a lottery ticket today but I don't really believe in luck.
Finished the 5 rounds 4-1, losing one game vs Dragapult Dusknoir due to a bad starting hand plus I had prized the Psyduck I teched in just in case. So many one-loss tournaments this summer. Ughhhh. GGs to all anyway!
@fadedjerry321@Top_Deck_Keep Oh I got 2nd? Cool!!! Congratulations on the win and thanks for being such a gracious and friendly player. Best wishes to you on all things, Pokemon TCG too!!!
Is it just me or does it seem like the #PokemonTCG game designers assumed Budew would always get knocked out after one itchy pollen instead of multiple turns of itemlessness? That effect needing zero energy is just 😵💫
🚨 HELP ME FIND THIS VIDEO 🚨
If you were at Giants Pokémon Night at Oracle Park and recorded the Jumbotron/scoreboard, I’m looking for the clip where I came on screen and got emotional.
The Giants confirmed they don’t save the live scoreboard feed, so I’m searching everywhere.
If you have it, please DM me 🙏
RTs appreciated!

@Mr_Indigo For me, it's actually never really stress. It's some combination of not really thinking things through in a methodical way and getting distracted by wanting to be friendly with my opponent.
I really wanted to play this today at this World's Celebration tournament but I'm seeing a lot of Dragapult, and I saw someone re-sleeving a Manectric control deck. So Slowking Dusknoir it is! GLHF I'll let you know how things go!
4-0 drop at today's @SurgeTCG Vault online tournament with trusty Joltik Box (I had to drive up to LA today and couldn't keep playing). This "slop box" variant has been fantastic against evolution decks. Haven't gotten many reps in with the Iron Crown to see if it makes FLead & Alakazam better matchups, but it hits most other decks really hard!
I really need to figure out how to stop having these brain-fart misplays and lock in. I'm not thinking through all the possibilities to my potential, but I'm not entirely sure what the mental blockage is. I really need to figure this out before the next tournament, which is probably Baltimore Regionals. Ugh. Any advice is welcome.
R4 vs Dragapult Blaziken. They Itchy Pollened three turns, one turn too many. Had Kyurem for 3 KOs, another Kyurem to soften up Pult and KO Budew, and then Lillie's Clefairy on Pult for the win. Finished 3-1 for 3rd for $30 store credit. I guess I'm 0 for 7 for the Mid Year and Worlds tournaments. So many 3-1 finishes. Oh well. 😭
