PTCG/O General: Zach edition

We can probably get rid of the "how to progress in PTCGO TLDR" thing at this point between the two other guides.

>>26082187
Who the fuck is Zach and why should I give a fuck?

>>26082233

Why? It's the most concise thing there and includes information that isn't elsewhere.

reposting cause need 2 know

4x Wailord EX

4x Trainer's Mail
4x Fighting Fury Belt
4x Super Scoop up
4x Crushing Hammer
4x Rough Seas
4x AZ
4x Team Flare Grunt
4x Cassius

3x Super Rod
3X Prof. Birch
3x Dive Ball
3x Sycamore
3x VS Seeker
3x Shauna

2x Lysandre
2x Enhanced Hammer
1x Eco Arm
1x Pokemon Catcher

what do you goys think of this deck?

>>26082274
He's cute._____________

>>26082294
It bloats the OP like fuck and could easily be put into its own infographic or in the pastebin.

>>26082370

It's without a doubt the most important thing there. Let it bloat.

>>26082375
You say that as if anyone ever reads the OP.

>>26082387

Then who cares if it's there or not?

>>26082394
The people who have to open the thread in order to see shit like the Old thread link and the people at the beginning of the thread who don't even see the Topic of the Thread with all the other shitty text in the way.

>>26082410

But if nobody ever reads the OP then neither of those things matter.

>>26082352
10/10 would play again

>>26082420
New people who would need that information don't read it in the OP. Most of the people frequenting these threads don't have a reason to read the OP copypasta every thread since it's mostly beginner information, but then end up missing out on things like the ToTT.

>>26082858
trade banned?

>>26083041
I found out that there were a few codes that you could use once to get a free pack for each and claimed them, not knowing that there was an exploit at the time and people were able to claim it again and again (some people getting thousands of packs). Seems that they have blanket banned everyone who reclaimed one of those codes in that time, having to wait on support to fix this crap atm.

>>26083072
ah really? I redeemed a ton of those codes, but haven't been logged on since.

damn.

They have uncommon chests for trade for one of my strong energies. Should I take advantage of it and trade the chest for cards I need?

>>26083072
I redeemed each code once and have not been trade banned, so I don't think they did it to everyone

Devs are fucking incompetent and mute, playerbase are literal children throwing tantrums and threatening to quit like anyone cares. Its fucking hilarious.

>>26083588

I don't even know what the fuck you just said besides fuck no. Mind explaining?

>>26083634
He said the amount of packs you can get for each card.
SeismitoadEX is one of the most sought after cards now, since it has been reliably topping tournaments.

>>26083677
Well what would be a good amount of packs to go after? I didn't know Seismitoad was that sought after, plus since it's FA I reckon I'll get a bit more for it.

>>26083692
Just check trades, never trade on impulse unless you are really sure that the trade is ridiculously advantageous.

Remember, if a trade has been up for a day and no one accepted it, it is because most people thought that it was a bad trade.

Still new to trading on PCTGO and not sure if I'm doing this right. Are these trades alright? Am I asking for too much, giving too little? I assume it'll be easy to tell what's worth what with time but for now I'm in the dark

>>26083707
Right. Thanks. Though I might just make my own trade. Would 3 Darkrai EX, 2 Yveltal and a Yveltal EX be fair or is that too much/too low?

>>26083710
Florges is useless.
GardevoirEX by itself is worth 1 pack.
Aromatisse and Stadium are usable, but not worth 2 packs, even more considering that one of these packs was not printed in a long time.

>>26083718
I would recommend making trades based on packs, trade Seismitoad for packs, and then trade packs for the cards you want. It is faster, since packs is the most used trade coin.
You can try your own different trades, the worst is going to happen is lose 48 coins(which is not much, really, many players here have thousands of coins)

>>26083745
Right, thanks! I might as well trade for 9 packs and see if anyone bites. Any packs that are worth more than others or are they all sort of the same?

>>26083771
Roaring Skies and Generations boosters are worth more than a regular BKP booster.

>got 10 boosters or so from glitched codes
>banned from trades
>also redeemed a legit Jirachi box code and only got 1 generation booster
>my support ticket is ON HOLD

...I'll just move to hearthstone until they fix this shitfest, thank you Pokèmon Company International

>>26083634
Seismitoad FA is worth about 9 packs. The other three are worth around 2, 1 and 2 respectively. You can get em for less with patience of course.

Not all packs are equal though. RS = 1 pack. Everything else from Standard is worth about half a pack. Except PHF which is somewhere between the two. And Generations which varies wildly.

With FC coming out in a few days prices are about to go haywire anyway.

>>26083953
better advice is to keep the Toad unless you have four of them already. It's such a good card and fits in so many decks even as a one off.

Cards you should keep always and only trade when you get over those amounts.
-your first four Shaymin
-two octillery
-two zoroark
-three toad

>>26083972
add 4 vs seekers and 3 battle compressors to that list.

>>26082352
Too many AZ and Flare Grunt.

Drop Birch and Pokemon Catcher.

Why are you playing Super Rod if you aren't playing energy? To get back Wailord? The point is to prevent Wailord from being KOd at all. Drop it.

You need Max Potion, Puzzle of Time, and a 4th Dive Ball.

>>26082832
It's one of the most-played cards in the meta. No shit it's worth something.

Mega Scizor does much more than normal, but I can tell that is not your main attacker.
Just ditch Scizor and Use Aegislash since its ability will help when dealing with Night March. It won't make you invincible, but it will help stall a few turns at the least.
Also, here is my Scizor deck if you wanted to make something with that.

I'm not trade banned.

>>26087071
>Any account involved in either suspicious trade activity or incorrectly redeeming booster packs has had their trade status temporarily suspended on a per account basis to allow additional investigation time prior to taking action on accounts that may have violated the games Terms of Service.
That was clearly against the Terms of Service, so yeah, your ban is going to be permanent. It's basically a temp ban so they can verify you did indeed use codes that were abused, and that you're not just an innocent bystander.

>Yveltal BREAK in the next set

Yeah, maybe someone redeemed them very fast?

So I'm trying to think of a way to make the new Alakazam viable against Trev. I've narrowed it down to 3.

1. Yevltal (BKT) Pros: Dodges Balloon for a 3HKO and one shots non BREAK. Missing 20 HP can easily be done by evolving Alakazam. Good in other match-ups. Cons: Blocks my Spirit Links. Energy base become ugly.

2. Mandibuzz. Pros: Does 60/120 for a singe colorless energy and can snipe around Balloon. Has a BREAK that might be out with set. Cons: Stage 1. Balloon KOs after a Tree Slam. Really only playable in this match-up.

3. Zoroark. Pros: Easy to OHKO Trev. Colorless attacking cost. Good in other match-ups. BREAK can dodge first Con. Cons: Balloon KOs after a tree slam. Stage 1

Fun. Espeon-EX. Pros: turns 110 HP trees into 50 HP stumps that can die do to my damage splash. Cons: Weak to Psychic. Can't do anything to Trev BREAK but cry.

Anyone have any other idea or suggestions? I'm leaning the most to Zoroark right now probably a 2-2-2 line since I don't have to run any dark to play it and it's not shit in other match-ups.

Sweet, another free uncommon chest on the way!

If only the servers were down more often, I'd love to keep getting awesome consolation prizes.

The problem with Yveltal and Zoroark is the requirement to include Darkness and DCE respectively. The deck has no reason to run either, so now you have to make even more room for techs and hope you draw into them in those specific matchups.

But nothing is going to help keep the deck from getting steamrolled by NM.

How does this affect things?
If you're doing damage or KO, use any of the mildly competitive fire decks.
If you're doing evolution, make a joke deck with maxed out lines and balls out the ass.
How can't you figure this out yourself?

Talking about KO challenges, how does it work regarding poison? The active pokemon gets the KO regardless?

>>26090299

always get Shaymins first

>>26090837
Why?

>>26090846
shaymins are the most valuable/playable card in the game

>>26090846
Because of the amount of utility Shaymin provides to ANY deck

>>26090852
Oh nice. Thanks for that. So, get Roaring Skies pack, cross my fingers I get Shaymins.. What should I exactly do with the Shaymins in terms of deck building?

>>26090875
Shaymin's ability is Setup. When you play it from your hand, you can draw cards until you have 6. If you have more than 6, you're probably doing something wrong.

Hey, I'm a long time MTG player, and I'm interested in playing this game. I was wondering what the Extended meta game looked like.

can I build a competitive Gardevoir deck?

>>26091097
>I was wondering what the Extended meta game looked like.
It's a bit confusing right now since all States are Standard, but it's a mix of last format and current Standard, leaning more towards the former with a few new decks.

Any reason why you're interested in Expanded specifically?

>can I build a competitive Gardevoir deck?
Pic related is the best you'll get right now, and it does a lot better in Standard. It's more than usable online and will win you tournaments and versus, but it doesn't win actual physical tournaments.

You can try a meme deck in Expanded/Legacy with Psychic Mirage Gardevoir.

Before it even gets the chance to attack, I will already have killed it with bat+gengar.

When Legacy first became a thing I was inspired to make this deck, but then I remembered I only had 2 Darkrai, but now I have 4.
The idea is that it works similarly to the Donphan deck from a while back.
I know it's gimmicky, but I want to make it work.
Any suggestions?

Whenever I'm about to win it freezes and makes me fucking lose but if I'm getting my ass handed to me the game runs fucking smoothly

>>26091354
>>26091367
>two turns
You guys do know Night March isn't some magic damage machine, right? It takes three Compressors to get 180 damage on board. And even once it gets there, swinging for 360 a turn means it'll take three full turns to actually KO that card.

Slowing Night March down from OHKOing everything to THREE-SHOTTING everything is absolutely significant. It forces Lysandre or makes NM play at a crawl.

I would absolutely run 2-3 of these in any deck where I expect to play against Night March. Obviously not having the psychic weakness is better, but it's still nuts as it is.

My tablet keeps crashing when loading at 90%. Anyone else having this issue?

>>26091432

So is it common for this game to freeze in the middle of the fucking game? It's fucking pathetic.

>>26093266
Go to Deck Manager and create new deck. It will give you da options

>>26093127
I vote we add a segment to this >>26090110 FAQ:

>6. I have 500 tokens, what theme deck do I buy?

The two best theme decks right now are XY Blue and Green, both of which are free. Because of this, there's no reason to buy any other theme decks. The cards found in them are virtually worthless; a single pack or tournament chest can be traded for most, if not all the cards in any given theme deck. Not that you'd want them, since an overwhelming majority of cards found in theme decks are unplayable in any constructed format.

>7. So what do I do with my tokens?

Every Wednesday at noon PST, a new bundle is rotated into the store. These bundles regularly contain promo cards that are otherwise unobtainable. Sometimes these bundles contain highly viable or fun cards for constructed, such as these:
>pictures of Stardust Jirachi, AT Regirock, AT Celebi, Contrary Malamar, Benevolent Pangoro
You absolutely don't want to be caught without enough tokens for them. Players who missed out on cards like Jirachi are now missing an important meta staple that many competitive decks use.

Or just buy packs. It's gambling and you realistically won't pull what you need (much less enough copies of it to make a viable deck), but I'm sure you'll get that Shaymin :^)

>>26093300
I'll add it when I get a chance. This is definitely a popular enough question to warrant the addition.

>>26093300
Then Going by this >>26090110 I should buy the booster pack BREAKpoint and start to build a deck from scratch?

What, do you expect someone to magically make a good offer and for everyone else to courteously ignore it until you see it?

>Is reserved ticket good?
No. I got ripped with the first and third trades, but I legitimately couldn't think of something else I needed at the time. The Tickets and Stone were to pad out the trade since I needed the reg Lysandres and Skylas.

I guess you could run it as an alternate to Teammates or in a deck that runs Octillery. Coinflips aren't the best.

If you're running 4 DCE, yes. It can help a lot early in games while you're setting other things up.

>>26095512
Not even a cheater mate. Claimed 1 of each of the free boosters not knowing that there was an exploit letting you get unlimited ones, get banned because it was a blanket trade ban based on reclaiming x codes in y time frame, not on the amount of codes claimed.

Considering they were the first free code claimings by myself and I have put a good couple of hundred codes from paper product in over the two times I have played the game, I think that some level of service is expected.

the sooner we all stop using Night March, the sooner it goes away. (It's not going away anytime soon.)

If anything I would only open a few HGSS and keep most of them for trading.
Even in a pot legacy game, HGSS is still more valuable than most packs where as EP are much harder to git rid of.

I'm not really sure if I got scammed or not.
but I would have taken the other one too if I had 3 more packs and REALLY need toads so....

>>26084989
4x Wailord EX

4x Trainer's Mail
4x Fighting Fury Belt
4x Super Scoop up
4x Crushing Hammer
4x Rough Seas
4x max potion
4x Cassius
4x puzzle of time
4x Dive Ball

3x Sycamore
3x VS Seeker
3x Shauna
3x AZ
3x Team Flare Grunt

2x Lysandre
2x Enhanced Hammer
1x Eco Arm

what about this?

>>26101183
Why Fighting Fury Belt over Hard Charm?

>>26101538

I'd assume some people prefer +40 HP over -20 damage taken

>>26101538
that's actually a good thought now that I think about it. most wailord will be out for much longer than 2 hits, so they would accumulate more than 40 damage

I can understand the potential need to actually dig through the deck for things, but isn't 3 Sycamore a bit much?

Quick question because the folks at the wtg are autistic.

Yeah... sure.

They're are FA, but not not like this type of FA, like Genagr
So I don't counts those as FA cards.
If it doesn't that that FA feel then it's not the same.

Other then that, the only cards there worth anything is Jolteon and M Charizard.

>>26102022
i really don't know what i'd replace it with, this deck is so simple. i'm swapping 2 enhanced hammers with 2 crushing hammers once they go through.

>>26102132
thanks for telling me what counts.

>>26102139
My deck runs xerosic,delinquent and hugh , but i play expanded format.

Anon, do you even know what FA means? Or in your head FA means "cards I think that look cool"?

SR cards have that same "feel" to the card too.

>>26102260
But GengarEX anon posted isn't even an SR, it is just a rare holo.

What the fuck does that mean?

>>26102314
For the physical card game, you can't use new cards in tournaments until three weeks after the street date. Since FC comes out on May 4th, you can't use FC cards in official tournaments until May 25th.

This wasn't the case online. There was no grace period. But now, there is. But only for tournaments.

>Anon, do you even know what FA means?
As FA cards goes, I never count the Radiant Collection or any Promo Glossy Holo cards as real FA.

FA cards with little grooves on the card, that makes it feel like sand paper is what I think are real FA cards.
Like the Charizard from FlashFire, and Gyarados from BreakPoint in the pic are,

I count them, if I didn't, then it would look like I have a very sad collection of FA cards.

this is one of the first full arts released, it doesn't have a texture. is it not a real full art? lol

>>26102441
Your definition of FA is wrong. What you want is just cards with etchings.

>this level of autism
If a card's art covers the full card, it's a full art jfc

>All this talk about rarities
You know what they should do? They should make a short print(1/100) of every pokemon in the set as shiny counterparts, they are exactly the same, except that they have swapped colors and a "S" at the side of the rarity.

Opening a shiny charizardEX would be the same as winning the lottery(a minor prize though).

>>26102609

That'd either be a wetdream or an absolute nightmare or both for collectors and secondary markets

Isn't that the point?
The etchings is what makes the FA card rarer.
>>26102441
I agree with this anon.
Also, the only reason to not call those type of FA not rare is because it's very easy to pull, then the other type of FA cards
.>>26102609
>every pokemon in the set as shiny counterparts, they are exactly the same, except that they have swapped colors
Wish they would do that more, there not enough shiny Pokemon cards

>>26102609

t-ty for the rec /vp/

>>26102672
>The etchings is what makes the FA card rarer.
Your definition of rare is also wrong.

Having a low amount of the card on the market is what makes it rare, not the etchings.
Having an art covering the whole card is what makes it full art, not the etchings.

anyone going to make a new thread?

what's a good deck to start off with I haven't played since before EX and I'm way out of the loop and I want to try and shake the dust off

>>26102760
night march if you just want to get a feel for the game.
