To be honest I'm not completely sure what you mean about 'fix the pull rates'... So far, it seems like everything is pretty standard. Everything non-Prism is at the same ratios as they were before (6 hits on average), and now you can also count on an average 3 Prisms per box. Out of all of the...

I double sleeve all my cards worth keeping and my decks with KMC Perfects, and then put those inside Ultra Pro black matte sleeves. Once you compress the air out of the sleeves, you can hardly notice that the KMCs are there. On top of that, I've found that this helps the longevity of the Ultra...

I've been thinking lately about possible changes to mechanics in PTCG and what kind of impact they could have on the game, and I think the one that would deserve discussion the most is what changes a side deck would have to the game. For those unfamiliar, in other TCGs, the Side Deck is up to...

I mostly trade/sell at my LCS, so I tend to use 90-100% of the price they sell the card at. IE, regular Lele-GX sells for $50, so I might sell it for $45 instead. Trades are significantly harder to instantly value, so in those cases I'll gauge how much the other person wants the card, and choose...

I can't imagine this being the case. I don't know how long sets typically get printed for, but a set that's as in-demand as ULP has been, I would imagine they want to continue printing it until the next set starts printing, or something takes over their printing lines. As the next set that would...

For casual matches, you could use a proxy card. Pick a card that you wouldn't use in your deck (when I proxied Leles I chose a fairy energy, because Pink...even though Lele-GX is Psychic) and have the card printed off on the sidelines. Local non-POP people may accept it as well, but you should...

Jokes aside, I doubt this will be delayed, other items will be delayed in its wake. The delays are coming as a result of this year of legendary Pokemon thing, so this probably won't have its release schedule changed much, if at all. Still angry about my Solgaleo being delayed though :(

Yes, absolutely, for the early game. I still run a few Ultra Balls, Brigette, and (irl) 2 Lele. If you have to dig to get to that Riolu you so desperately need to get Lucario out, then the deck isn't nearly as consistent, and having Lele in Cynthia.dek adds to that consistency. My PTCGO build of...

Really hoping this is the same Zygarde-GX that we saw the other day... I really don't want to have to pick up 4 at 20 bucks later. I do sort of want it to be a separate GX, though, so Bonnie can be used for more than *just* one card...

I would have to do a ton of wiki digging to find the page that describes it, because I don't totally remember what it's called, but I've heard both explanations a few times. The foil returning to the shape of the spool did so under heat IIRC, and it was the only one with any source to the...

Thats a pretty fair point. Another point that could be made is just inherent to what the franchise is- YGO is a competitive cardgame above all else, while Pokemon is a video game series first and foremost. Still, though, I can see them pricing the decks at ~$20 USD to justify having a...

I think something similar to what YuGiOh does would be great. The set-based starter decks right now are almost useless, even if you buy a couple extra to focus in on what deck you're playing (IE buying two Kommo-o decks to focus on Kommo-o). YGO has starter decks, and then 'Structure Decks'...

http://www.smogon.com/dex/sm/formats/ou/ /s Obvious mascot tier stuff like Pikachu, Lucario, Charizard, etc... See more light than others due to being overwhelmingly popular, but that kind of creates a feedback loop that supports itself. If half the products are Lucario themed, then half the...

I could have sworn I read somewhere that there was a rule preventing from playing an all-holo playset of cards that come in holo and nonholo variants for this reason, but I can't find it any more, so I must have been imagining it or something... That being said, I both agree and disagree with...

Nice, I always like seeing people get great pulls like that. I think my best pulls as of late have been a Guardians Rising ETB I grabbed a couple weeks ago- the first pack had a regular Lele GX, and a few packs in was a FA Lele GX. Not to mention the LCS I grabbed it from sold me the ETB for 30...

I doubt people would be buying these with the express purpose of pulling Cynthias, I imagine people who are going after a specific card in the set would either get an ETB or Booster Box. People would probably be buying these for the promos, or because they genuinely want the misc stuff in it or...

Celesteela, by far. I think they're all cool, but Celesteela is based on one of my favorite Japanese folk legends, that of the lunar princess Kaguya and the bamboo cutter (hence the bamboo design). She's also based on a Japanese lunar orbiter SELENE (aptly nicknamed Kaguya) hence the rocket...

I like the Naganadel GX+Xurkitree idea, but I feel like "If you/the opponent has x prize cards left..." is too specific. Once you pop off with Naganadel, there's your GX attack gone- which is fine, it's a great GX attack- but Xurkitree might only get that synergy for a couple of turns. Sure...

You can also get it from the Crimson Invasion box ;) Oooh I didn't even catch that! That's really cool. It'll make pack opening fun when you catch the grey on the card, depending on how much rarer prism rares are than GXes.

Really digging the ETB stuff. The dice look great, and the sleeves aren't half bad either. I also *really* like that the box itself is black with blue/yellow accents. As I see more cards in Eng pop up, I get more excited for the set!
