    Formula for card strength

    You mean how you combine the cards? You don't think that, for example, making Base Set Kangaskhan with only 1 reatreat would make it overpowered in any matchup?

    Formula for card strength

    Yes, but like I said, that is situational. There, however, must be the basic concept. Why exactly that poke-power and exactly those effects? You don't need to test a card in a game if you see that it has no retreat cost, high hp and poke power that prevents evolving. It's obvious it's...

    Formula for card strength

    Most mechanics of every game have a background formula which takes playable elements into sum and the goal is to have them all around equal strength number. The nicest visible example of that is in Elder Scrolls Construction Kit where they measure the power of base character points in sum of (if...

    I pulled something cool from a booster pack!

    RE: The "I pulled something cool" topic. I like relying on my hunch. Whenever I'm buying boosters, I observe and pick. Basically, anyone would say I'm just being stupid, however, most of the time, in a selection of 5-10 boosters, I pull out the things I want. And I always get better cards when...

    Anyone ever buy from Troll and Toad?

    I never bought from them because they are, in my opinion, very expensive. Well, the cards not as much, but I'm based in Europe, and their shipping is absurdly high. I usually buy from new england group, gamingbroker and newpotato (or something like that). However, they do appear to be very...

    Whats next for pokemon cards?

    I always thought that dual-type both in weakness and in element really spices up the thing. Like, major spice-up. Which is why all my fake cards I do has that included. I'd also like to see the psychics, actually ghosts, get their special status infliction - curse. It would be very interesting...

    Not a beginner, but still have questions

    I apologize for the wrong subforum, I realized later that I probably clicked the wrong link before making a thread. -__- Thanks for the input. So what actually speeds up the energy use? Because I always felt that 10-13 (or less @.@) energies does not seem to get me going. SPECIALLY when in...

    Not a beginner, but still have questions

    Hi. :) Here's the thing. I'm an oldie, so to speak, and a big fan since first gameboy game, but I stopped playing quite some time ago. I'm from Croatia, Europe, and when the hype faded, they simply cut us for cards. But few years back in time, we got paypal and ebay, so I finally started to...

    Ruling LvX

    Exactly, that's what I was thinking. Plus with lvx ability to use previous attacks, I don't have to waste energies all the time. I think this might turn sick. Thanks for helping. {P}

    Ruling LvX

    Speaking of lvx, does putting lvx on pokemon count as evolving that pokemon? (Since I don't see anywhere written "evolves from...") Because if it doesn't count as an evolution card, I think I'll go rampaging in unlimited with fossil Aerodactyl, looool.

    Question about deck types

    Greetings. I have two + one simple questions. :) 1) What are "meta" decks? 2) What are "rogue" decks? 3) What is basically the gameplay difference that distincts one from another?
