I agree that next season is a natural opportunity and at that point I absolutely expect change of the system to occur. If a change could occur for nationals I think it would be make the tournament more enjoyable particularly just switching it to best of 1 30 mins two flights with basically a...

The best of 3 format is a fantastic one in theory, but in practice I believe this season has come to show that its rather impractical in its current state. 50 minutes is not enough time to finish 3 games. 16 mins 40 seconds per game is unfeasible with the amount of shuffle/draw actions that are...

Can someone from TPCI come out and say if there will be a play point requirement for Nationals. I don't understand how its acceptable to keep people in the dark this long on the requirements for the biggest tournament of the year. It's a legitimate concern for making hotel room...

I don't really care about the entire topic argument at hand, but I just had to laugh at this statement. If you think anyone acting nice to you is unbiased towards you and/or has your best interests in mind you are going to have an interesting time in life. People put on facades. Especially...

1. Accelgor pretty much auto losses to virizion genesect. You max out at 50 damage a turn and cannot paralyze or poison their pokemon when they can do significantly more and have built in catchers with genesect ruining item lock. 2. Chande is dark weak. Darkrai will still see significant play...

No real comment on this. This is just sound advice. I don't understand why something is "personal" or not is relevant. Theft is a crime. It doesn't matter if the perpetrator is my father,friend, or a complete stranger. A large majority of homicide is also very personal. The argument about...

I'd argue that this isn't a bad thing. There are too many events already and the cost barrier to get into worlds is too high. But if you must insist on still having these events any of the following could be rewards.... States could be given an alternate purpose like the winner get byes at Nats...

Tropical beach is a promo card given to Worlds attendees and staff. This makes the card rare and drives up the price. It is a stadium card that is heavily used in stage2 setup decks like blastoise. The card is still legal for the current modified format.

Thanks, but I'm really looking for staff ones aka cheapest as possible :D. I understand $100 is low just looking to see how close I can get to there.

Nvm found beaches for prices i wanted. Please close thread

I'm not sure what you are referencing, but I don't think anyone should be rewarded for getting their pokemon Ko'd if you are directing this at some one else's posts perhaps quote for reference? ---------- Post added 01/25/2013 at 04:27 PM ---------- You are right there is variance in every...

I agree that playing around bad prizes takes a lot of skill, but this doesn't address the fact that two players when they start a game can be on unequal footing based on what players have prized. Good on someone if they can beat it when their unfavorable odds, but ideally that's not how games of...

I'd prefer if this type of statement was kept out of this thread. It isn't necessary or constructive to the topic at hand. --------- I've seen a lot of statements that my examples are outrageous and unlikely. I did note they are unlikely, but situations where players do prize important...

I consider myself a card player. I'm a frequenter of games such as poker, blackjack, magic, triple triad, WoW TCG, Ascension like games, and of course Pokemon. I am not an outstanding Pokemon player nor am I hopelessly bad. I have seriously played the Pokemon card game for a year now. I, like...

@rcxd9999 - I didn't say that energy acceleration was necessary. The original post asked for the possibility of some. So i posted a possible energy acceleration. Things to improve this deck: Tropical Beach - expensive, but it will setup your early turns quickly and ensure you get that...

Only real energy acceleration possible would be ether and pokedex combo. paraphrased explanation: pokedex allows you to rearrange your top 5 cards to put energy on top. Ether if the top card of your deck is basic energy attach it to a pokemon. This is assuming ether come out with the plasma set.

This will most likely create an unhealthy secondary market for the ptcgo, and make it near impossible for a person to test legal decks if they start halfway through a season of pokemon. If this system was hypothetically now in place for current sets and someone attempted to start playing now...

Your arguement against stockpiling doesn't make sense. People didn't stockpile because they werent playing the ptcgo. People stockpiled more than they needed. They redeemed what they needed to get the cards they wanted for testing. Users then stockpiled more codes in order to have viable...

Well this is a rather horrid decision from a consumer's stand point. From a business standpoint makes tons of sense. I think places like troll and toad are going to make the biggest killing though selling codes from specific hard to find/unneeded physical sets at later dates etc. This just...

I'll just leave this here... Ban List Looks like justice was served.
