Hi everyone. My brother, Kevin Nance, was recently featured in the news for his 2nd place finish at this year's Pokemon TCG US Nationals Tournament. I thought I would share a link to the online version for everyone to enjoy. They did a pretty good job of representing the game, though the whole...

Changes to the Play! Pokémon Modified format for the 2013 tournament season have been announced. Effective: 9/1/2012 In the interest of maintaining a healthy tournament environment, Pokémon Organized Play removes older sets from the Modified format at the beginning of each new tournament...

Hey guys, I have a situation that presented itself with the State Championship I played in over the weekend. It's quite a specific situation, but I'm still curious about how (or even if) it would be handled by the judges. Let me go ahead and emphasize that I did not do what I'm about to...

Just for fun and in anticipation for the return of EX cards. Tell me what you think and if there are any grammatical inconsistencies with current card texts. I'll probably add more here as I go, can't wait for the return of EX cards!!! Also, I realize the HP's are pretty hefty -- I'm okay...

Does anyone else find it really odd that an Emboar that's paralyzed, burned, and poisoned can still use its Inferno Fandango Ability? And that with the introduction of Black and White, all Abilities are safe from special conditions? To many players this may not seem like a big deal since the...

Assuming P!P makes the mistake next year of giving us at least an AR-on format, has anyone considered how powerful Charizard decks may become? Think right quick about the advantages it will have over most other decks in the format: :fire: Charizard will be one of the few decks in the format...

Top 8 NC States Report (Masters with Gyarados) Round 1 - vs. Joel (?) with Feraligatr/Magnezone I really like the ability Gyarados has to take autolosses (like Magnezone) and turn them into really good games. I get a quick start on my opponent, who opens with two AR Spiritomb (yeahh...)...

I'm putting these gems in here - a couple of nice fixes for the format. Anyone notice any problems with these (I mean, other than the fact that you'd probably have to stop playing SP, Gyarados, and VileGar)? Rapidash (90 HP/Fire) [Pokemon] Poke-Body: Wall of Fire Each player's Pokemon...

Note: Many threads lately have featured spirited discussions about the current state of the format. While I know that many people have differing opinions on that issue - as well as decisions that Play! Pokemon (P!P) makes concerning said format - I'm asking that posters please try to keep the...

Hey there! I have a question about the wording for Moomoo Milk. Say I have a Pokemon with 40 damage on it and I flip two heads to effectively remove 60 damage. Based on the wording of the card, it leads me to believe that only 30 damage can be removed (since I would be removing 2 damage...

I thought I would share this article that a local paper did about my brother and I. I feel they did a really good job with getting most of the details right, and they also talk quite a bit about how the game has matured into something that everyone can enjoy (not just children or teenagers)...

Report by: Erik Nance Deck: Charizard Event: Mooresville, NC State Championship Format: Modified (DP-on) I'm going to keep this short and sweet, mostly because I'm tired. And it's 1:45 AM. I decided to play Charizard because I'm stubborn when it comes to trying to make tier 2 decks work...

Decks in Action It is a question that most Pokemon TCG players ask right after they learn how to play: “What deck should I use?” Deck choice is a decision many players make based solely on the cards they own, or the Pokemon and types they like most. It stands as no surprise to find players...

I have a couple of questions here that maybe you can help me with. Thanks in advance! 1. The SF Mamoswine has an interesting attack named “Ramming Strike” that, during the attack, has the possibility of knocking out Mamoswine. Here’s the text for the attack: “Flip a coin until you get...

Hi there, I have a question concerning the Legends Awakened Grumpig's first attack, "Magical Step." I understand that when I use Magical Step, its 6 damage counter effect only applies when the confused Pokemon flips tails. However, I'm wondering whether or not I have to keep using Magical Step...
