Melmetal is not a meme
Me_me___ is ___ a meme
>*braps on your Mewtwo*How do you respond without sounding mad?
>>56962936ISREAL
>>56962938it would have potential for propping up dragon decks so dragonair and dragonite can actually hit something. Butterfree and metapod getting to continue using Find a Friend would be pretty good.
I've just had what was probably the best match I'll ever have in my entire life, may as well stop playing because It doesnt get better than this
Pidgeot Weezing is fun when it works but too many Pikachus running around the place
>>56962967is this vpnx? Or did you luck into finding another snorlax enthusiast?
>>56962967I really want to run Snorlax but he's so bad without double colorless
>>56962923I don't look like this.
>>56962974random battle on trading card player difficulty, wish the password system was better id play more vp matches if i didnt have to keep retrying the code hoping someone will also do it at the same time>>56962977That's why I needed double sleep + healing to support this guy and he still died early lol
>3 hearts for a chance to get arcanineI did it once, I won’t do it twice, you fucking jews.
Arbok is fucking amazing holy shit.
alright bros i'm finally immigrating from mtg because i can't stand hasbro anymorewhat do you got for me
>>56962923sex with sabrina
>>56963009They saw that Baldurs Gate 3 money and want to go all in now
>>56963009The simplest card game you could possibly imagine, with one of the most jewish card acquisition systems you could possibly imagine, with more literal coinflips that you could possibly imagine, including the flip for whether you go first or not, and going first is significantly worse than going second.
>>56963009We have a meta with only two decks.
>>56962998I made like 8 decks, 3 of them being mew, pika, and arti ex, but none of them were as fun as a deck with arbok in it. retreat locking is super fun>>56963009we have coinflips and pikachu
>>56963015Me on the left.
>>56963009We have waifu cards that enable OTKs.
>finally build up venu>ready to fuck shit up>SABRINA>BACK LINE GETS SNIPED>LOSE99% of my loses are like this, what the fuck am i doing wrong? THere's nothing I can do, it feels impossible to win. At the start while my exeggutor is tanking and doing damage, if I have one bulba bring powered up on the bench it can get sabrina'd at any point and I lose. If I toss 2 things on the bench i'm somewhat safe, but then when the tree dies and Venu is out, whatever weak pieces of shit are on my bench have just become liabilities.
>>56962998Laddered in the event with 2x Arbok a greninja and a pidgeot, its dope especially when you get people who can't parse people not going full unga right off the batCould probably swap greninja for weezing for more reliability but the frog snipes were clutch>>56963024brother same, I managed to finally pull two immersive pikas back to back but playing the deck made me want to jump off a cliff
Exeggutor EX Dragonite(think about it)
>>56963015me on the right
>>56963034Honestly, that's the risk of running two different exs. It's why Eggs/Butterfree is probably a more consistent deck. Personally, I don't run Egg ex.
>>56963044is this nigga rolling with 3 energy types
>>56963050Eggs vanilla is just Kangaskan with more bricking and access to Erika.>>569630514 if you find room for a Koga package.
>flip 4 coins
>>56963034invest in the fossilpill
>>56963044Eggs is just a meat shield because you can heal him?
>>56963009simplified format where it's much easier to brew decks, and the power level isn't anything crazyi stopped playing arena before they buffed crafting and f2p around like Oko and finale stuff, and the f2p here is pretty generous compared to those times, you don't need a million rares to start to make decks that can beat meta, and not having to worry about lands is nice, multi color decks work pretty similar to mtgthe meme here is rdw on the draw instead of on the play you have to deal with, pretty fun for a phone game and looks pretty
>>56963058>>56963050i'm fathomed that anyone says this deck is decent, i win just fine with blaine, zard and obv mewtwo decks. These slow decks don't feel like they work, atleast Moltres is a single stage bulky pokemon and since it's a basic you're likely to get both on the front or bench during the game.
THERES STILL NOTHING TO DOTHERES STILL NOTHING TO DOTHERES STILL NOTHING TO DO
What direction do you think gym leader supports are going to go? Right now there's 3 types, ones that cover an entire type, ones that target specific Pokemon and general typeless ones like Sabrina and Giovanni. They gotta have the play data that shows specific ones like Brock, Blaine and Koga are played far less than the others. They gotta know that Misty is overwhelmingly played because energy acceleration is insane even with a coin flip. If they cared about power creep they'd probably stick to Pokemon specific leaders which will also force players to chase those Pokemon as well. and of course, if they didn't care about power creep we're just going to get more type targeting leaders that'll make misty look like a joke
I forgot Dragonite was not an EX and lost...
>>56963059Eggs is something to do while you build up Dragonite. If you don't find a grass he's a good wall with Erika and you only need to find one grass.
So what the fuck do I do now that I beat all the solo battles? I don't have a proper meta deck to go online and everything else is tied to time restraints....
>>56963077Most people don't have a proper deck. Just throw together a pile. You'll have a Blaine deck by the end of this event.
>>56963077either pay up or wait to get a meta deck eventually opening packsthe event rn is giving out a meta deck, so if you get enough of the blaine deck you'll be fine for onlineor you can sweat it and reroll accounts for meta decks
Sabrina is actually such a massive game changer. She can single handedly win games and forces everyone to play around her. Every single new player should be buying two copies with pack points ASAP
>>56963086>suggesting rerolling to the guy who just finished all the solo missionspsychopathic conduct
>>56963089i rolled for her because she's hot
>>56963070if they do trainer specific for pokemon for each set, that'd be cool to see, koga and blaine are really great cards
>>56963089>>56961328
Can you sub and unsub from premium to get 2 free packs every time?
>>56963077goon for 12 hours open pack sleep for 12 hours open pack goon for 12 hours open pack sleep for 12 hours open pack goon for 12 hours open pack sleep for 12 hours open pack goon for 12 hours open pack
>>56963092true honestly, ignore that bit about rerolling and just save, you'll get there eventually
>>56963077I have an over 50% win rate with my janky arbok deck
>>56963099Trainers are cheap with packpoints so you should be saving the wonder picks for full arts of your waifu instead
I'm waiting for more grass types so I can build more decks to take advantage of Eirika.
>>56963121It was expirable stamina, there wasn't anything spiffy available, and it was the first two picks I did after the game gave me agency. Does your suggestion assume I'm a lucklet?
>>56963070They're gonna print gym leaders that only affect pokemon with their name in it
>Nobody cares about Meganium or Feraligatr>Which means Typhlosion will end up with an immersive + gold crown by defaultgrim.
>>56963024Mew?How do you pull a mew?
>>56963150No pull, it's a reward card for collecting the 150 kanto cards (ex's/full arts count as base for collecting sake, promos don't)https://ptcgp.raenonx.cc/en/mission/card/MI_CC_0002010_01_CARD_016
Pocket is bad, hop on Artifact Phantom Draft for some real gaming.
Do you guys name all your decks you make? I only end up making a name if I really like the deck or I have a good idea for a name
>>56963149Chikorita is my favorite starter...
>>56963149Funny that back in the day Totodile was more popular a starter pick than Cyndaquil.
>>56963158I have some partial decks with appropriate labels but my only properly named deck is "Mewtodo" (no Gardevoirs yet). My slightly modified starter deck is called "Pile" (it's a pile of cards) and the crap I'm using the scum the solo missions are "Solo X" with different letters for X on each deck.
>>56963158
>>56963149I care… i care
Pidgeot+Fearow.
>>56963158I only have one serious deck that wasn't just made to clear solo content
>>56963068Playing meta decks is boring as shit, though.
MINISETTRUST THE PLAN..
>>56963139They should make a special rule (like the ex rule) that (Trainer)'s Pokémon gets an enhanced version of that card's regular effect. Don't have to make a whole new card just for them and you have a new avenue for making chase cards and getting the piggies to splurge.
>>56963213So is losing to meta
>>56963149>He thinks Typhlosion will get the gold crown.bahaha I wouldn't be surprised if he was missing, did you forget the controversy?
So what the hell counters Pika EX?
should I be using my glasses for these rare Arcanine wps
>>56963127Green is poised to be pretty good. Caterpie and Erika are both pretty huge.
>>56963149>Implying that child rapist is getting anythingNo way.We probably won't get any immersive Johto EXs.
>>56963149The packs are gonna be like>Typhlosion >Togepi>LugiaIf they choose Ho-oh for the Legendary, they wont choose Typhlosion.
>>56963208whats that ekans deck look like?
>friend people from here>2 people like my showcase each day>friend randoms I play against in versus>more than 5 people like my showcase each day
Not my best God pack. But at least I got something new.
>>56963241Sometimes they brick.
>>56963020two and a half
>almost went crazy and spent $100 on the game last night after ripping 17 packs and getting absolutely nothing Thankfully my dumbass has calmed down enough to the point that I'm not even going to pull until both of my gauges are full. I think I just got really desperate for a hit.
>>56963244The main draw to them is the packs don't have commons. If all you want is Arcanine and you're not in a rush you're better off waiting for a pack with Arcanine EX and a either another EX or a FA.
>>56963241Arcanine EX + Moltres EX.
>>56963281Know that feel. The pack dopamine when you keep pulling is insane.Did you at least end up with a full collection?
>>56963009
sabrina just sucked me dry
>>56963268I need to get a second Sabrina to replace the Red Card
>>56963281Whenever I get that feeling I roll up an alt
The consistency of Blaine is insane! Meta decks are a hell of a drug.
>>56963307thanks. how does it hold up online?
>>56963318Decently, I crush Mewtwo and struggle against PikachuYou'll have a better winrate with a Koga deck probably but I don't have any Koffings or Weezings
I wish there was less kantoslop
After this shit event I have no hopes trading is going to be for anyone other than whales.
>>56963350Is it that bad tho? It's a short 1 week event to prepare people for the upcoming venusaur drop eventWhich then runs into the next bulba/chansey event but this time with more rewards / promo cardcopium
whalesissy here, just got my 2nd god pack, is this wonderpickable by friends?
>>56963369My friend id is 9173059004588744 if it is
>>56963362>It's a short 1 week event to prepare people for the upcoming venusaur drop eventthat actually makes sense, i wonder how many people couldn't consistently beat the expert lapras deck if they thought of thisi ripped my second gardevoir midway through the event to make it easier and just autoplay mewtwo, but even my koga couldn't consistently beat expert lapras while i was controlling it
>>56963369I think as long as there's no crown
>>56963285No. I've mainly been pulling from Charizard, but a few cards from that set have been eluding me, despite 2 Crowns and 3 Immersives. The 17 packs I pulled were from Pikachu though. Only hits were alt Squirtle, Nidoqueen, and Electrode. Wasn't too fun. I'm hoping it'll treat me a little better when my 4 packs are available. I need to find something to do until then, because pvp in this game will just make me want to pull.>>56963308Might have to start doing this.
>Got crushed by a guy named Anon using a Raichu deckIf you're here, GG. I never realized that's how Lt. Surge was supposed to be used, pretty cool
>>56963402Yeah it's the best deck. Anyone using the electrode variant is trash.
>>56963416Were you using Magneton engine?
>>56963101doesn't re-subbing require you to pay upfront?lol at the value of this move
>>56963447I play Yugioh, I'm not a smart person.
>Bonus pick requires your pick to expire for another to showlameeeeeeeeeeeee
>>56963434He was
>>56963281did you feel like you learned a lesson? at the very least if you spend, do it when you're sure you'll get something new like when fresh packs come out. SPending money thinking you're going to get that 2% card? no fucking shot. There's no traditional spark in this game, this game isn't kind to people who want to spend money but not hundreds.
Thanks Snorlax bro for letting me stall until my Nidokings at the literal bottom of the deck
>>56963332Any new Pokemon spinoff that starts up is going to be stuffed to the brim with kantoslop, anon. That's just how it works.
>>56963488I think it's weird that there isn't more Johto stuff in games.
is it a good idea to save shop tickets for in case they drop new cards in there? all that's left is hourglasses and I'm sitting on a stack, but i felt like I should save them
>>56963241I haven’t lost once with my Koga deck to a p*ika ex userIt’ll happen, just hasn’t yet.
Note to self, always kill the ralts asap
>>56963520Man I want to play Koga but I'm missing every piece besides Arbok
>>56963501Not the worst idea. Im sure they'll drop more trainer/item cards there like the current set
>3rd full art meowthplease man give me anything else, anything.how can it be that I've been opening exclusively charizard packs for 2 weeks, yet i still don't have a starmie ex, exegg ex or ANYONE FROM THE FROAKIE EVO LINE AAAAAAHHH
how do you make a collection that is more than just a single card? when I go to the global showcase there are people with binders of several cards, idk where the menu for that is located, i literally cannot find it
>>56963567Card collection>Upper left>Binders
>>56963567there's the display board (single card) or binder (multiple card). you make them from the top left of your card list screen. you have to set it public for people to see it. on someone's screen, under where you see the binder, there's a small button "see showcases" and you can see their whole binders.
Guess I'm done with this event. A pity I couldn't get Charizard first
ok i give up, i cant win with grass. sabrina just rapes me whenever i get venu. Maybe ill try that butterfree team, tree sometimes just kills the shit out of my opponent anyway
surely I'll receive lots of likes with this...
>>56963583I've been doing that (bullying venusaur decks) I haven't lost to one yet. However, the butterfree shit was surprisingly annoying. I haven't pulled a single butterfree (or egg) or id wanna try it myself.
>>56963009qrd? whats going on with magic?
>>56963599Product release every 3 weeks. Can your wallet keep up goy?
>>56963546it literally took me 2 months (playing since the NZ soft launch) to pull a SINGLE Blastoise ex these rates are actually fucked
They need to do something to make this game feel less dead. Master mode solo missions, or something.
>>56963009Coin flips
>>56963599Gay crossovers, for one https://www.thegamer.com/magic-the-gathering-mtg-spongebob-squarepants-secret-lair/
>>56963009Right now, the game is expertly mathed out, like a really good draft magic set but even better. if you get in now, you can enjoy the complex nuances of 1 energy 40 damage and 2 energy 70, 90 damage vs 100 hp bodies, coin flips giving you 25-50% chances to have an outsized effect on the game (like killing something before they can bounce it or heal it). The extremely delicate balance between potion and Giovanni, the power of the number 80, etc.Card games are always best right at the start
FUCK0 for 3I give up
>>56963624that's kinda based, spongebob is awesome. I can tell that mtg got hijacked by a bunch homos and troons just like DnD did. Wizards of the coast is so cancer
>>56963636If you get 4 heads you can just OTK turn 1 and your opponent can't do shit
>>56962987try the reddit code. NOEXseems to be really easy finding a match.
whoever said don't run this faggot in mewtwo ex is a faggotI've won multiple duels having him just sit there and tank while I build up the ex and if I just can't draw the ex I can still use him to wipe shit out as backup if I have a gardevoir up fossils are shit
>>56963624This is based, but only because it sets a precedent for working with Nickelodeon. I would play an Avatar Aang deck in a heartbeat.
Trying to play this game with pink eye is a fucking experience, they really gotta make a dark theme.
TOPRIGHTISALWAYSRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT
>>56963659Spongebob in le serious card battle game is gay but you are a faggot.
>>56963599Oh man, where to start....
>>56963496They're gonna throw all of that in when the next expansion drops.
>>56963646He's coming from MTG, it's okay, he won't mind. He'll just be happy that the game is over after a few seconds instead of having to wait two minutes to see if your opponent highrolled or not.
>>56963658sup niggy
>>56963658Careful, the fossilfag will get angry at you
>>56963377>Lv. 45How much money? I've spent a little money myself but I don't know if I'm whale status
How many Kogas do you need for a Weezing deck?
The only pokemon normalfags recognize are the Kanto starters, Charizard (but not the other evolved starters), Pikachu and Meowth
>>569637032 of course
What gen are you most hyped for?
every time I play my deck in a random match it feels less and less consistent
>>569637032It's a free retreat and heal AND you can immediately evolve a koffing you have on the bench for crazy mounts of stall
>>56963726that's weak af
>>56963731he cool tho
>>56963726Burning incense and saying 888 sutras daily that groudon ex will be good.
So when can I expect a Marnie sex card?
>>56963742I'm only spending money on this game for Marnie goods.
>>56963672Why are you acting like Forbidden Horse Show and Transformers haven't been a part of your game for over 5 years? SpongeBob is the least of your worries.
>>56963726Gen 6. I'll use a deck with all 4 even if they won't work together

If you play M2, I'm not thanking you after battle. It's a gay ass deck.

>>56963904>the one deck that's not coin flip faggotry>gay
Who the fuck thought it would be a good idea to make Moltres EX into a better Misty?
>>56963902I could have told you that before you spent.
>>56963920Fire needs the supportUnplayble besides blaine decks if you don't run moltres ex

This is your big event, free growlithes everywhere?
>>56963940I'm still at a fat zero FA Trainers, so it's still better than nothing, I guess.
>>56963920It's free two rewards, just Corner it.
>>56963957Finally got a Vulpix from wonder pick. Just one more and I'll be able to build Blaine.
I want to whale, but I know that my cards will feel infinitely less special straight away if I do.This temptation is eating me up inside. Fuck this scummy fomo jewry bullshit for taking advantage of my obsessive gambling addictive inclined brain
>>56963961Didn't mean to quote.
>>56963962Don't worry, bro. Even if you whale you'll only get garbage dupes. Play a few games and you will realize right away how shit your luck is.
>go first>win without losing a pointis this the power of mewtwo
>>56963920me, I suggested it as a beta tester
>>56963962Embrace the zen of just opening your 2 packs a day and entirely forgetting about the game in between.
>dangle an event limited flair>have only seen one rare wonder pick so farThey really didn't think this event through
>>56962967Seeing this made me think that we really need a format without ex/v/gx. In the standard TCG you can count the amount of meta relevant non-ex pokemon on 1 hand and the majority of them would be energy batteries. Pack filler in the TCG has reached a boiling point and is spilling on to the stove and floor 99.9% of all the cards people get out of packs is LITERALLY unusable garbage. If ex's were gone for a while I think they could come back properly balanced.Pocket is close to this I think with a small bit of power creep to non ex mons the game could be fantastic.
>>56963970>>56963987Thanks bros, I needed to hear that.I just spent 4 stamina to wonderpick for a FArt Machamp ex and got a rattata. Everything is completely outside of my control, and all I can do is enjoy the ride.
>>56964024I wonder what would happen if they made it so that you instantly win the game if you defeat an ex/etc. Pokémon?
>>56963956Really anon? Is it? Is it better to have those two old bastards in my collection?
>>56963978>go firstYou're cooked in mirror though
>>56964031If they did that the only EXs that would see play would be extremely powerful stage 2s and ridiculously powerful basic exs. So in pocket mewtwo and venusaur. Articuno, pikachu and starmie would become to riskey to play as they wouldn't secure the game and most decks are typically able to take out one
>>56963932PLEASE RESPOND
>>56964033At least if you ever build a bald bastard deck, you get to look at him in his full glory.
>>56964115Before your opponents first turn. Replace it with giovanni if you can
>>56964115Use it whenever. I want you to unbrick my hand thanks.
>>56963932When your opponent has his wincon in hand. And preferrably his wincon's pre-evo as well.Or right after he uses Koga, that may work too.
>pull a pack right now>no sparkles>look at the side>just a silver card>meh flip through it anyway>immersive>mfw that animationokay that's pretty cool didn't expect a whole unique animation
>>56964045That would definitely be an improvement. I can deal with Mewtwo more often than not. For Venusaur I need really good draws.
>>56964130>opponent red cards>bricks my hand for the entire game>I red card>perfectly set them up to win the game
Anyone else farming wins in "noex" pass mode? My ArticunoEX/StarmieEX just rolls over these noobs.
>>56964136Nice. Got my immersive zard today as well. I seem to have better luck with zard packs than pika packs. Still looking for my first Pikachu EX
>>56964151I'm only missing Zard, and it's kind of annoying me, I'd like to be working on Mewtwo packs at this point.
>>56964151yeah mine was a zard tooI was pretty bummed about the fire "event" going on right now and I built a whole fire deck waiting for it but the zard is a cool little surprisethe thing I like most these days is just organizing my showcase collection>reminder to like your friends showcases every day for free tickets and takes less time than one battle
i dont give thanks
Why does rare pick keep coming up when i don't have the points for it
bros the r*ddit collection tracker says I have a 35% chance of getting a new card out of the Charizard packs but I’ve opened ~10 since switching from pika and I ain’t got squat from it. Is that thing actually trustworthy?
