Plasma Freeze is right around the corner. Let’s talk about where the format is going to end up after the release of this set. I predict that the format slows down ever so slightly. Which means we could see a strong tier 1 deck, besides Blastoise/Keldeo, that is going to run an evolution chain. The… Continue Reading »
Undoubtedly the biggest hang up on the Pokémon Card Game over the Video Game is you need another person to play it. I can pick up my DS and engage in the Pokemon Universe at my own convenience. I used to not be able to do that until the Pokémon TCG Online client launched. I’m all about… Continue Reading »
In the last year, we saw some huge moves for the card game as a whole. Pokémon TCG got back to it’s roots with the base Black and White set. We saw a lot of the same abilities we saw in the original base set. We’ve seen attention put into reprints of powerful cards and… Continue Reading »
One weekend of cities has been incredibly insightful. I went 4-2 day 1 and bubbled out at 9th place. I ended day 2 at 3-3 and 25th out of 49 players. Keldeo EX is definitely a force to be reckoned with. Landorus EX wasn’t as popular or successful as I had anticipated. A lot of… Continue Reading »

I think everyone has his or her hand raised. The Base Set, like any first set of a card game, was an incredibly big bench mark for… Continue Reading »
Let’s start with a huge congratulations to SBJ for placing 22nd out of 305 Masters at the Fort Wayne Indiana Regionals! A serious accomplishment and one well-earned. In the perfect poke-world, in the VGC and TCG, we could just play with the pokemon we love and still turn out to be excellent trainers. You would… Continue Reading »
Pokémon Worlds wrapped up and the MVP is going to be Darkrai-EX. Don’t have a Darkrai yet? They’re coming out in tins at the end of September. So instead of paying out the rear end for them, for the modest price of $15-ish you can take home a Darkrai-EX and a bunch of packs. The… Continue Reading »
