New victory cup promo for battle roads

[Martinek]

wow the promo is really bad : (

 

[baby mario]

But sooooooo prettyful . . .

 

[immewnity]

Yup. Bigger image: At least the cards have different art.

Anyone think that they might do this for other tournaments, too?

 

[King Piplup]

Pretty...Horrible effect though. That 1st place artwork!! (Frankly any of them, but I like Oshwaott)

Oh well, Maybe Poke Ball will become playable someday

 

[StormFront]

While I wasn't too bothered whether the card was going to be playable or not. I'm disapointed the card has the same effect as one of the most common reprints in the game.

 

[GodBlessAmerica]

Well, at least there is no pressure at all to win BRs

So disappointing

I was kinda hoping it would have some niche usage like victory medal but in the end its a good thing that its unplayable. We dont need another tropical beach. And its really pretty =)

It could have just been made without the flip lol

It could have just been made without the flip lol

Then it becomes the single most powerful Trainer in the game, forget Catcher.

communication isnt too far from that and catcher is >>> communication.

 

[homeofmew]

I see a pokeball. it's a pretty card though.

 

[PokePop]

One other difference: It's a Black Star promo with a promo number!

 

[homeofmew]

Yeah because now you can play 4 pokeballs and 4 victory cups.

Does it take up three different Promo Slots or are all three numbered BW31?

 

[PokePop]

I don't have my supplies yet (unless they're sitting on my porch at home), so I'm only going by the picture. I'm guessing they have different numbers, though.

we'll know by the weekend for now im pretty sure everyone is running off that picture

however the different art makes me inclined to believe they are BW29,30 and 31, if it was just the text on them that was different i would've said all are BW31

Comm requires a specific type of card in hand to play.

A non-flippy Victory Cup would not.

Luxury Ball was one of the staple cards of the previous format. It was never questioned if you had one in your deck; it was questioned if you did NOT have one.

A non-flippy Victory Cup is Luxury Ball without the restriction.

It is superior to Comm in every possible way.

Speed rules all TCGs. A non-flippy Victory Cup would be the fastest setup card in the format.

Ergo, a non-flippy Victory Cup would be the most broken card in the format.

 

[homeofmew]

non flip victory cup = lux ball minus the fact you can use it more than once if ones in your discard pile. or a non supporter Celio's Network, for those who played back then..

Would make people want to go to the tournaments more heh.

 

[Yoshi-]

It is superior but not by much. It still only searches for a pokemon.

Would the card be a 4 - of staple in every deck? Absolutly!
Would it break the game in any way? Absolutly not.

It would just be a search card, a good one, sure, but still only a search card. Most of the times Communcation does the same thing. It would be good but not change the way the game is played, it would just eb another searcher

 

[Maverick Nate]

Seems pretty useless when we already also have Dual Ball in the format.
