Hello, I'm trying to come back to this game after an 18 month hiatus.
I started playing when Base Set 2 was the current set and continued to playing competitively up until august of 2005. I stopped for financial reasons mostly, and I was also getting burned out.
I've attended a couple of pre-releases since I stopped because I knew that in a pre-release, it didn't matter what cards you had. Everyone was on an equal footing. I might like to mention that if it weren't for the pre-releases I would never have come back. (a side comment on that other thread about the prize support at pre-releases)
I've been trolling this board for the last 4 days trying to get up-to-speed on things.
anyway, what I'm looking for here is suggestions on what sets are important and what cards are important. I also don't know what older cards are still legal. I'm not interested in getting competitive with tournaments just yet. I need to bet back into the swing of things, but i do want to play Modified-legal decks.
So here's what I have currently from the current Modified:
Deoxys - I was playing when this set was released and I have most of the cards.
Emerald - I was playing when this set was released and I have most of the cards.
Unseen Forces - I went to the pre-release. I have a ton of this, I have no idea why.
Delta Species - I went to the pre-release. But that's all I have.
Legend Maker - Nothing
Holon Phantoms - Nothing
Crystal Guardians - Nothing
Dragon Frontiers - I went to the pre-release, But that's all I have.
Power Keepers - Pre-release... new set
Trainer Kit 2 - what?
POP series 2, 3, and 4 - uh.. yeah... only POP1's here
Black Star promos #029+ - I have no idea.
As you can see, I missed 3 whole sets!
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
