    Serious Question: Why do adults play Pokemon TCG?

    Honestly? Because it's fun. Why should I have to elaborate? Why should ANYONE have to elaborate? sidenote: Wizards of the Coast expressed the whole "MTG is adult game, Pokemans is 4 KIDZ" concept by eliminating the 15+ age division from events, their line being that the 15+s should be...

    Oldschool dmg Swap variation

    The reason the old damage swap worked was because Mr. Mime was virtually impossible to kill in one hit back then. The opponent could do at most 20 damage to it and then you'd swap that 20 damage onto your bench. They had to Gust of Wind to score prizes. Doing more damage with Wigglytuff is...

    the only question I have

    It's an attack. For it to not be an attack it would have to be an Ability.

    Miscut Victini EX - Legendary treasures

    if it's only a few millimeters then no, it's not worth anything special. miscuts only really start to matter once you can see another card.

    Team Aqua's Hideout vs Secret Base

    Pretty sure this is going to be a no, since we can't play Warp Point.

    Trump Card ban and Erratas

    The main thing is that banning LTC curbed Seismitoad by quite a bit since the Hammerspam LTC Toad deck was starting to gain way too much traction, even in Japan whose metagame generally abhors decks like that.

    Trump Card ban and Erratas

    This is the only thing I'll respond to now, and I've said this before because we've had this discussion before If you had no issues beating all those decks why are you not a 5 time world champion? Put your money where your mouth is some time. GG literally dominated an entire season and was by...

    Trump Card ban and Erratas

    The simple and easy counter argument to basically your entire argument is that most decks don't even run very many 4-ofs and usually only run 4-ofs for consistency. Also if you're running a 46 card deck in yugioh you probably suck at yugioh. Legendary Treasures did indeed screw up the BW...

    Trump Card ban and Erratas

    I really don't understand where you get this conclusion from Lysandre's. Also being able to run 4 of cards in a 60 card deck still technically means you have less access to the cards than you would a 3-of in a 40 card deck, so your yugioh comparison STILL fails. Also, "going many years without...

    Has anyone made a mega absol deck?

    he's in a gift box like diancie and metagross. they didn't get links either.

    Has anyone made a mega absol deck?

    The lack of a spirit link plus the fighting weakness hurts badly. I'd probably run it with weakness policy at a bare minimum or you'll just get run over by anything that's brown.

    De-clumping

    By definition, if you're shuffling adequately, declumping shouldn't actually accomplish anything at all. And if you're shuffling inadequately, declumping is basically stacking. Even if it's to "decrease disadvantage", you're still adjusting the contents of the deck to achieve a more favourable...

    NXD+ Standard "Plasma Eeveelutions Featuring Sceptile"

    This isn't a Standard format deck, though it's close. Pokemon Communication and Blend Energy are not legal. You never want to run a "starter deck" style evolution pyramid (3-2-1), once you get the one sceptile out the remaining treecko and grovyle become totally useless and what if the one...

    Kingdra/double dragon energy issue

    You can absolutely Alpha Growth with a DDE. It just says "Whenever you attach an energy card you can attach 2", it doesn't specify basic energy. Also since Dragon Blast says to discard Energy, not Energy Cards, you can absolutely discard 1 DDE and meet the discard requirement.

    Is Aromatisse/Gardevoir viable without Max Potion (for XY-on)

    The main problem Gardevoir decks have is having an energised and attacking M Gardevoir EX get KOed, losing 3 energy in the process. Max Potion is mainly run to ensure you don't lose your Energy bank too quickly. Once Roaring Skies comes out, Mega Turbo will be able to accomplish largely the...
