What an ugly card, good thing it won't see play.

Is it worth it to play Lisia's appeal in Mega Darkrai decks? Mega Darkrai's first attack is already enough to kill most basics anyway.

I think I'll just stick to playing in person with judges. I dont care about losing, just let me play the fucking game. I've never had this problem with MTG or any western card game. Its even worse than AFK stalling in showdown

>>59439182
I seriously do not understand why milling isnt punished by being an instant loss for the player who runs out of cards. Every other card game in the world OUTSIDE JAPAN does this as a basic rule to prevent this very problem.

>playing efficiently is... le bad...
Okay, bye

I'm glad that this game filters so many of these types of people. It makes everyone else's matches better when they remove themselves from the community,

>play expanded in Live
>either get god rolled by Lugia/Regidrago VSTAR or face some newbie on a Lucario starter deck that fingered the wrong format

>>59439182
The game is literally played the same in both tcglive and physical forms. If turns with lot of actions are a dealbreaker to you then you should just leave to mtg or something, that's just how it is around here. Maybe 4-player commanderslop where playing to win is frowned upon is more your speed?

>>59439185
Milling IS punished in pokemon tcg, if you don't have cards left in your deck by the start of your turn then you lose. I'm pretty sure it works the same way as other card games like magic.

Am I responding to bots?

what do they even do against Slopbox? Just try to win the price by two shoting or preping with dhelmise for a final blow with sinistcha?

>>59439258
I thought Spritomb was the finisher

>>59439266
I have seen some list skipping spiritomb, guess the 13 ghosts in discard requisite is too much. Still, it doesn't finish ogerpons unless you attack two times with sinistcha beforehand which doesn't seem all that viable.

Playing your turns efficiently is bad because you get to watch him do it without input but sitting across from a guy while he plays his star trek, final fantasy, and my little pony characters in his deck is okay because you got to play your cards while he infinites you or negates everything you play or summons 300 guys and kills you turn 3 but at least you got to put 2 lands and a quirky avatar badgermole down first

>>59439273
It is too much. Ive had opponents take 5 prizes and still not have the requirements fulfilled.

>>59439258
Hide and Sneak?
It depends on the build. Dudunsparce-ex can take 4-5 prizes on its own. Ursaluna-ex can ohko something but you still need 4 prizes elsewhere. And you can always hope that they need to play a meowth down for you to gust and ohko with dhelmise.

I just dont get it. How are these faggots cheating and not having a retreat cost? They arent using any cards or abilities to do it but suddenly that fucking slowbro spam just allows them to hit for 3x damage + they can just swap out a 0 energy kangaskhan ex for free. Thats 10000% cheating and should be banned.

There's no other pokemon on the bench with abilities that let them do that. They just look at the metagross in their deck and suddenly hit for 240 with a move that only does 120 against my non-dragon type pokemon. Somehow their slowbros can attack from the fucking bench.

>>59439249
Guess the judges must suck at my locals then because they didnt care when my opponent ran out of cards using the dhelmise build & battle deck.

You can't lose to a deckout the moment it happens or by an effect of any card, it only counts for the default draw at the beginning of the turn. If the judges let that happen without an autoloss then they are retarded or corrupt. You should know the rules and make a complaint in the precise moment they are breaking any.

>>59439511
I was using the miraidon deck with my literal first time playing the game and people just kept milling until they ran out of cards then claiming they beat my deck with their entire deck in the discard pile or in their hand. It was casual play anyway and I shant be going back there.


Managed to get 4 copies of that mega darkrai EX card and used gold tickets for mega gardevoir's SIR. Its wierd how well they slot into a dragapult deck. You apparently cant just outright buy commons and uncommons with gold tickets in the deck editor. I dont have a kirlia so have been forced to rely on rare candies getting ralts into mega gardevoir.

>>59439582
for context, i went to two pre release events for pitch black where they pulled that running out of cards bullshit.

Ive tried playing TCG live today and have ran into at least 2-3 cheaters. I dont know how they hell they are able to ignore needing 3-4 energy or get 3-5 energy in a single turn without any abilities, items, or supporters that would let them do that.

This is such a filler set. Browsing TCG Player and the only things worth getting are the full art Crushing Hammers and Energy Switches.

God damn this is almost as bad as master duel. Only difference is I can actually play the game somewhat.

Can we just fight the ai instead? These fags taking forever to take their turn is no fun. TCG pocket doesnt have nearly as many wannabe YGO players in it either. I only get enjoyment out of PVE.

>abusing some extremely niche mechanic with uber omega ultra rare cards that give triple energy on an alolan raichu
how can they be rare if you can just open the game and craft them and how is it abusing niche mechanics when this game is so simple children are the target audience which means cards have to blatantly say what they do

Why do these fags all try their damndest to run the clock out. GO PLAY YGO if you want to do that "imma use my entire deck in 1 turn and wont let you play the game" bullshit.

You anons were complaining about dragapult but this "hide n sneak" bullshit with cheaters ignoring the retreat cost of pokemon or attacking without needing any energy cards attached is way more cancerous than 1 heavy hitter pokemon that's not nearly as obnoxious as mega lucario ex.

>>59439182
The auto deck shuffling saves more time than people playing fast with it irl
Also just treat the online one as a side monitor game there's no reason to keep your full focus on it.

Latias ex is always played with Mega Kangaskhan, and was probably being used there but you must have been too busy busting a gasket over a card game to notice it lets basics retreat for free

>>59439946
They were not using latias ex, it was swapping out with clefairy ex and somehow slowbros were doing 480 damage AND ATTACKING FROM THE BENCH even after I knocked out the clefairy and they swapped in their second copy of kangaskhan ex.

>people just kept milling until they ran out of cards then claiming they beat my deck with their entire deck in the discard pile or in their hand
Yes, like you were told, if you cant draw when your turn starts is when you lose by deckout.
If they have no cards in deck just wait your turn and pass? If you lost before your turn came just get better at the game.
>>59439594
You are clearly missing out on something. Its normal to not know every card when you are starting (or coming back), but calling them cheaters because you didnt bother to read the cards just makes you look bad.

>>59439273
I guess you can hit three different EXs with dhelmise and then spiritomb?
Takes a lot of work but unless they can attack with waterpon 3 times in 3 turns you should still get a 6 prize turn. If they managed to do that you got haxed anyway, kudos for them.

Slop box would beat that approach with the cat or the fish to bump their own area zero. It also prevents you from ever playing prism tower.

How's it going for you? To me it looks weird without 4-4 tea, spiritomb, prism tower and gwynn. And filling your bench with 2 prizers in a supposedly 1 prize deck... at this point just remove the ghost veil cards and put a 4-4-3 pult line in

On a winstreak after teching in Koraidon ex. I had one game where a high roll Pult took 4 prizes turn 1 with a Cursed Blast and was completely unable to do anything after Bastiodon + Clefairy Crispin KO. Here I had the option of devolving the Lucario and killng the Riolu while his board state was empty if he Hariyama'd it up instead of the Latias(?). And this was a game where all my stadiums and an armor fossil were prized, usually Lucario buckles to Bastiodon.

the item that lets you reroll being normal pokemon only is so lame, that would have been fun in the heliolisk deck

>>59440064
True, you'd have to keep hitting waterpon so they cant keep it in the field. After two hits they're are in their last prizes alredy.

>>59440107
Yup, many decks could be fun to try if it had no restriction on the typing.

>>59440052
>If they have no cards in deck just wait your turn and pass?
They ran out of cards and passed the turn to me, the next turn came and they still kept using their pokemon with no cards left to draw.

>>59440078
Im having fun with my Mega Gardevoir EX/Mega Latias EX deck. Idk how they managed to get so much energy off so fast with that mega lucario deck. Even when I can pump up enough damage via mega symphosia to do 500 damage, they still somehow keep two tapping unless I use that healing card.

>>59440078
This deck is the most fun homebrew I have ever made and is only bad against certain shitty single prize decks where you can't get your board state set up faster than them.

Azul stream in a nutshell: takes 5 minutes to play 3 actions, misplay, concede.
I feel bad for anyone who has to play with him IRL if he plays the same way.

So why did they make a deck (Ghost Veil) that completely shuts down any single prize deck? Are they retarded?

What's the best way to get rid of the opponent's Boss's Orders with fossil box? Or better yet, do I just run 4 switches?

>>59440404
Any viable single prize deck can race ghost veil just as quick, because that's whats required to beat 2 prize decks

>>59440404
What are you smoking? The best single prize deck eats ghost veil alive, Slowking.

There was one tournament. We currently are not in a season.

I really like gardevoir’s mega symphosia. Solves all of the problems i had with dragapult and only needs 1 energy to start farming at least 150 damage a turn.

How do i know when opponents are cheating? When i ko their only pokemon with energy on it and they dont play cards like crispin that allow you to get more than 1 energy a turn. The only legit energy spammer deck i cane across was someone using a wailord ex deck and having massive 400-600 hp health pools and hitting for 270 that i had to body with mega symphosia. Using cards that gave 4 water energy. Thats a fair loss slugfest match. What isnt fair is some fag spamming megas with no energy and somehow using 3-4 energy attacks with no energy attached

There will probably be a healthy back-and-forth war of techs between the two decks, with ghost veil heavily favored due to slowking's energy costs.

You fucking retard, you are not supposed to gust the reshiram/zekrom. The match against zoroark is all about prize racing. If your deck can't deal with a 280hp 2 prizer consistently then maybe you are just playing a shit list.

I'm thinking about selling my Japanese collection.
It's 151/151 original with all 48 holos. People are charging about $4,000 AUD for that
65/65 Team Rocket, which goes for about $1,700
Corocoro Mew promos which are priced at about $1,000 in similar condition.
CD Promo Charizard/Venusaur/Blastoise estimated $1,100 Moderately played.
Early Entei / Sucuine / Reiko LP, $400
All 8 Gym Leaders Holo Trainers, LP to Near Mint $350
An additional copy of base holo Zard / Blast / Venus (roughly $820)
Two $400 Jirachi holos
Dark Charizard / Dark Blastoise spares $1000
Erikas Venusaur (This one's uncertain, showing between $100 and threefold)
$100 Ancient Mew

I really just wanted to post this here so i could map it out as i go, these were all cross referenced and price checked on eBay real time with comparable condition listings. Those are the high-ticket items though

All up it's worth about $11,270 but I'm thinking of going for $10,000 for a nice round even number and to pass on more short-term resale potential for any buyers intrigued enough to realize they could make a quick 15%-20% profit should they be inclined to immediately flip it on their own eBay store

>>59441218
>Why is standard not the current block only?
Staple cards have to be reprinted less often if one start-of-generation set is always in the format (D, G, J) when 3 blocks are legal.

What do these mean? I only started playing the game with pitch black.

Its just wierd how every other match feels like the opponent is just running the time out and cheating when they somehow havent milled their deck by turn 2 after discarding 30+ cards in 1 turn.

>>59441242
Some advice as a small-time seller: try to sell locally, and try to get cash if you do. The former saves you the hassle of dealing with shipping issues and the anxiety of wondering whether the post office will inadvertently destroy your package, and the latter is to keep all the money for yourself.

Nah, we should just ban broken I-block cards like boss, lillie, and zoroark.

>>59441249
The little letter in the corner of the card. They mostly correlate to the year the card was released in and determine if a card is legal in the standard format.
It solves the issue of every single promo card being released automatically becoming legal in standard. One particularly egregious example was when a BW-era EX got an alternate art reprint during the final year of XY and suddenly gained 3 more years of legality.
It also unifies card legality between Japan and International.

>>59441254
I have almost 200 sales and nothing has been destroyed / gone missing so far. I think it helps that i always mail it it in Cardboard packages and never bubble mailers or envelopes.

Australia post is quite professional honestly we don't have retarded thieves handling the goods. & if it's something as high priced as this i will likely use a global courier for an extra $100 so it's in more reliable hands the moment it arrives overseas (Usually America)

I don't know why you recommend cash? I much prefer having digital bank. As for local it's greatly preferred but then I cut off a large portion of potential buyers, getting Japan is niche many poke-collectors here prefer English. There are so many stores over in Japan selling exclusively Pokemon too that i could get immediately bought by a retailer who is intimately familiar with the price potential

excadrill is really popular right now so that could be why.

How do i find my energy with mega manetric,eels and ionos voltrean?
once i get 2 discarded its smooth sailing but getting them is the problem

>>59445106
You play a better deck.

>Down to 1300 playing jank.
I'm going to have to Grimmsnarl up to 1500 again aren't I?

>>59445973
It really doesn't matter. The shitter cutoff is 1800 and I doubt you'll ever reach it anyway.

Been trying to build an electric deck and honestly the whole color's just a shitshow

>Iono's Kilowattrel
Requires an actual attach unlike Delphox and Lunatone where you can just discard an energy. I guess you could pair it with Iono's Iono's Bellibolt but both have shit attacks unlike Solrock/Lunatone and also Bellibolt is a stage 2 anyways AND you can only attach to Iono's pokemon which are all shit.

>Mega Manectric
You need Voltaic Energy and three total to oneshot Excadrill or Chandelure... once. First attack is basically only good against slopbox but they probably have a way to counter it. You can't even hit early like Mega Starmie.

>Vikavolt
This would be cool if it were a basic but it's stage 2 and therefore it's a meme.

>Heliolisk/Mega Zerara/Kilowattrel ex
You need outrageous amounts of energy for these to do anything. Meme.

>Dragonite
Yeah it's a dragon but it's electric attack cost so it sort of counts. Anyways, you need to run water energy and also the search ability is comically worse than Genesect. And it can't even do 350 with Voltaic because it's not actually electric. It does give you bench control which is tantalizing but you need rare candy + 5 pokemon slots to do what Pecharunt does with 1.

The ONLY good line in the whole thing is Eelectric/Mega Eelektross as a sort of diet Blazekin, but without a free retreat like Mega Sharpedo the paralyze lock is a pipedream. I guess you could run 4x switch / 4x air balloon and hope for the best. This in the energy type of their main mascot (which is also unplayable). What were they thinking.

>>59446388
Now imagine if your type was unplayable for 6 years instead of 1 format

Is a new weakness box possible if it's 3x now?

>>59446411
Every playable grass deck has popped up within the last year is my point. Before that grass was functionally dead as a type for nearly 5 or 6 years.

>>59446413
Is there any big changes for 3x besides moltres being able ohko beedrill and hydrapple? Then it probably is not worth building a deck around them.

>>59446425
It could introduce new attackers to work for it now not just moltres. Especially when you add in modifiers beforehand like bangle. Even packages like gadget show rotom would hit hard enough at 3 times
The scope of possible mons that could ohko for weakness will be far larger now

Play an Anthea and Concordia so you're forced to play it.

>>59446537
Oh i will 100% revisit rotom box with 3x weakness

What is with all of these 4x Dark Bell, 4x Xerosic stall decks on live?

This magnetric control list is super fucking toxic.

>>59447393
list?

>>59447398
I need to test mine some more but it heavily punishes decks that don't have switches.

Dragapult/Blaziken players
What is the best stadiums to use in your opinion?

I see a lot of lists with Area Zero I'm not sure if I want to run that instead of Jamming + Watchtower but I also need to run Shaymin for my locals

>>59446388
Bellibolt is stage 1 anon.
The only non-completely-meme electric deck would be the Bolt-Bolt. Use Iono pokemon to get lots of energy on board and draw then Raging Bolt EX to KO stuff. Levincia and Energy Retrieval to grab them back.
In a pinch, Bellibolt can attack too, 230 isnt that bad, it KOs every support pokemon.

>>59447423
azu is probably the best for it because blazpult needs the space so its bench isn't awkward. just one meowth play completely neuters the deck especially in the pult mirror. unless I needed a reason to block tools and kang/meowth I would keep the azus in my deck

Why does this game have so many bots?

>>59447671
because 90% of decisions are made for you at any one time or have a single obvious answer

>>59447671
Most people dont read the cards. You'd see posts like why can't I attack mimikyu all the time on the forums lmao.

Ebbs and flows my friend

>>59438791
maybe retarded question, but if i use stunfisk to make the enemy pokemon take 100 more damage in the next turn, but he switches it to the bench, does it still take the 100 extra if i attack with zeraora bench snipe?

>>59447969
No. All effects get removed if something switches to the bench.
