If turn one 260 is considered alright, what the heck is considered ridiculous? o_O

I haven't played the TCG since 2016...is Expanded still a thing? This + Welder is just nuts.

Yeah, but you could easily just hide some of the product, buying some, then come back inside and buy the rest. I really don't think most (underpaid) employees care as long as you're a paying customer lol.

Not really. Stage 2 decks will never thrive as long as big basics exist. I wish TPCI would understand that and bring is back to an era like HGSS.

Rare Candy on YouTube posted this deck recently. The biggest issue is that Mew blocks the bench damage. But if they aren't playing Mew, it can surprise your opponent for sure. We need a Silent Lab reprint...

Mismagius is unplayable. You'd be talking multiple evolutions and having to throw in Psychic or Aurora Energy. It's binder fodder. MAYBE a 1-off in Trevenant in Expanded, but that's even a stretch.

Game Freak has lost touch with its core audience. What a shame.

99% chance it's Let's Go Espeon and Umbreon. The Pokemon Company is notorious for hints in the background while Ishihara talks. Too many Johto Pokemon to be a coincidence, but the big giveaway is the Let's Go Switch bundle with Espeon and Umbreon in front.

Another meh cash cow product. When will they put viable cards in these things?

My hero. Preordered two and they'll be here October 4th. I'll make sure to watch some unboxing videos to confirm it is the Jirachi with Stellar Wish -- if not, I'll just return the decks to Walmart.

I think Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon will mark the end of the 3DS era for the core games, which is fine by me. The Switch is far more powerful and has a lot of impressive features they can take advantage of. I'd say November 2018 for generation 8 on Switch, and then the Diamond/Pearl remakes on Switch...

Will there be a Play Point requirement to participate at North American Internationals? The site doesn't really make that clear.
