  1. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer - TCG edition

    The official rules on sleeves is that they must be either official Pokemon-branded sleeves (which you can buy in some card shops or online --- most of them come from Japan although there have been a few sets made in the US recently) or a solid, single color. So if you've got sleeves with your...

    You can skyla for rare candy or ultra ball to get blastoise also, or for energy retrieval to get enough energy for the KO, or for a lot of things. But being able to grab catchers is part of that :) I don't have the eviolites in my list right now for that reason, but I miss them.
  3. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer - TCG edition

    Not sure if a supporter line is a simple question, but I've been trying 4 Juniper 4 N 3 Skyla 2 Bianca, and I like Kyurem NVI in the deck, especially with Eviolite.
  4. 2013 Season Championship Points system revealed

    You can win 200 points in Cities. 290 (or even if you only do very well, 230-250) before S/P/T and Nats is pretty good. The people who are saying an invite is trivial I think are going to be disappointed, but this feels very achievable and I am excited about it.

    What kind of misprint? It's probably hard to sell right away unless the misprint is really interesting/uncommon but you can check places that collectors hang out; pokegym has some people like that, as does pkmncollectors. If the misprint has happened a bunch of times, you should be able to guess...

  7. Smogon PlayTCG Tournament #9 - Interest thread

    I like BW-DEX or DP-on; I feel more prepared for BW-DEX but DP-on would be more hilarious. I'd play in any of them although I would not spend much time on a singleton deck honestly.
  8. What rotation do you think we are getting?

    I expect BLW-on but hope for COL-on, mostly because I want PONT and Dual Ball in format and hate change. But BW-on seems to produce interesting decks in Japan so maybe it is actually better, I don't know. No rotation would be a different kind of fun. Ho-oh EX plus Lugia LEGEND!!!
  9. Budget decks and Budget Techs: HS-__

    You could also try supporting it with Sableye DEX, particularly after rotation, although I think it would still suffer from the lack of Darkrai. I looked at the other Dark Pokemon available and... welp. Empoleon is probably a better choice and has more generic (usable later in other decks)...

    Alaka's Darkrai was too strong for my Lugia LEGEND. Good games, thanks!

    Hey, we should try to reschedule the TCG tournament match --- I'm judging tomorrow and then driving home from Phoenix, but I should be free after 4 PM your time Tuesday if that works? Let me know, thanks.

    Yes, among other places it is available at http://pokegym.net/forums/showthread.php?t=164498
  13. BDIF in the HGSS-DEX format?

    I think it's pretty close between Eels and Darkrai, but I think the ridiculous turn one potential of Darkrai edges it over. Also, the way you phrased it makes Darkrai the best place to hedge, because there are a bunch of different Darkrai archetypes that offer flexibility depending on the...
  14. Dark Rush! (Zoroark DEX/Darkrai-EX Deck rate/fix)

    Good thought, but Dark Claw only affects damage done to the Active Pokémon: "If this card is attached to a [D] Pokémon, each of the attacks of that Pokémon does 20 more damage to the Active Pokémon (before applying Weakness and Resistance)." The only effect in game right now I can think of...

    Pulled off a narrow victory against Huy, 2-1. It came down to coinflips. Thanks again for the games, Huy!
  16. Darkrai discussion

    Oh I would play DCE over special dark, not over rescue. Rescue is important. And yeah I missed the lack of catcher; you almost always want at least a couple. You don't need them here as much as something that goes for weakness or turn 1 KOs does, but it's still a very helpful card.
  17. Darkrai discussion

    I would argue that Zoroark is really a different deck from straight Darkrai --- your goal is to stream Zoroarks to do 120+ per turn, not to stream Darkrai to do 90+/30 per turn, and you're much more OK with getting KOd. In addition, as compared to Alaka's list, you're not trying to get lots of...
  18. Darkrai discussion

    I tested this list last night. I think I understand it now, although playing it is tricky and you end up with types of decisions I am not used to (and would do well to get better at). I like it, and if it gets a good start it is absolutely crushing, although on the occasion that it started...

    What's the error, what browser are you on, what OS are you on, do you have flash enabled or javascript blocked? It might be easier to come in to #tcg and ask for help there, also.
  20. All About Niche Cards!

    Huh, I didn't see any energy disruption CMT decks but I like the idea. I always ran at least a little energy recovery in CMT (mostly for Durant!) but not enough to be consistent, and that would still have annoyed me. 80 HP, though. So low... At least the Eel can't retreat and so they have to...
