The Full Arts look absurdly good lol. I wish the Lake Trio were more playable though. I was looking forward to using them, but these attacks seem bad.

Thank you, Japanese whales, for keeping the game free to play for everybody else! (lol). I think the game's fine; technologically it's in a better state right now than TCG Live has been in for most of its life. Gameplay-wise, it's not as deep as Live, but also not as impenetrable from a...

Azelf and Cofagrigus in this set, on top of Froslass and Munkidori from previous sets... Spread decks keep getting more and more toys lol.

Cool stuff! I like the Alakazam, and the Nidoking is super cute. Aside from that, from a card art standpoint I appreciate that there aren't a lot of words on these full art cards.

Gravity Mountain seems to be a nifty way to reach some annoying damage thresholds. Miracle Intercom is huge for Control decks if you expect your usual Ace Specs to get sniped by Lost Vacuum. Pikachu ex/Magneton/Terapagos as a package seems really hard to evaluate. Pikachu's Ability is great in...

Oh no, they have built-in AI battle assistance and they're going to allow card trading? Sounds like I'm only ever going to be playing against farm bots...

Ooh, that's the second USGMEN illustration thus far, and it's another full art. The previous card he illustrated (Mew ex) was really popular and is still worth a lot of money. In my opinion, I prefer this Clobbopus over the Mew. I like how much action there is in the shot. Is it supposed to be...

Hold on, this Magneton allows you to loop Galvantula ex's item-lock attack! That's a big deal. I think that with baby Joltik accelerating energy and Magneton recycling it, there's the materials to potentially build a very scary deck.

The marketing for this game continues to aggressively push the "card collecting" aspect. Why? I've never in my life met a single person who's excited about collecting digital trading cards. With physical cards, there's an appeal to buying and owning the cards because they look different on...

I feel about Precious Carrier the same way I feel about Hyper Aroma: playable but kinda undesirable since it's a terrible draw past Turn 1. Perfect Mixer I'm more optimistic about. In something like United Wings or Tera Ceruledge it fills the discard, but aside from that it also clears junk out...

Playing Bird Control and your opponent keeps Iono-ing at 2 cards to play around Chi-Yu? Hit 'em with the Comfey and Luminous Energy to make them draw 3 cards and deck out! :p In all seriousness, Diancie knocking out Cinccino for only a single Colorless Energy means it could potentially see...

The Eevee and Umbreon products look gorgeous. Kinda tempted to get the deckbox... The Battle Start line seems cool too. I like how the mat's design takes these straightforward manga-panel images and recontextualizes them into an 80's Memphis kind of style. It's really clever.

30 Energy Ceruledge could be a fun budget deck. I could see a scenario where Fire Off Amrarouge + Magma Basin + Delphox V gives you game vs Single-Prize decks, but at the same time I'm pretty sure you need Poke Stop in the Stadium slot so idk. Maybe Palkia VSTAR + Radiant Greninja is the better...

Seems ok. Repeatable 180 bench damage is scary. It can knock out benched Archeops, Kirlia, Drakloak, etc. and threaten to keep doing it until the opponent musters 320 dmg. Plus, it one-shots Lumineon V and Squawkabilly ex. Unfortunately, I feel like from a meta standpoint what it does probably...

Seems playable. Area Zero Underdepths, Teal Mask Ogerpon ex, and Bug-Catching Set could form the basis of a simple and versatile grass-box core that a card like Ledian would slot into nicely.
