Post your favorite card from your favorite pokemon!

I never really had a single "favorite" pokemon growing up, usually just a fairly small group of ones I really liked. Playing this deck almost exclusively for a year made the funny ice cat/weasel thing into my favorite.

Glad it was fun, I had a good time watching and learning along with you! I'm very excited to try it out for myself

Not to mention Ebay (TcgPlayer's corporate owner) and their union-busting shenanigans earlier this year!

I've refused to buy from them since then on principle, but it's definitely been tougher to find the cards I need for decks at times; I've had to check my local card shops a LOT more

corporations being able to control what kind of art we're allowed to see on the internet is bad

revisiting another old drawing

For the last time: ChatGPT is not a search engine. It is an aggregate, made to spit nonense information back to you. This is why it cannot be used in an academic context.

Oh for sure! The GLC player in me is terrified of this card (though I don't play psychic so idk what they'd cut for it), and standard me knows that *something* is coming to make this card *very* useful at some point in its lifetime.

Big pika loves their purple cards

Obviously Gardy doesnt need this, but I've spent all morning looking for other psychic archetypes this unlocks

Best I've come up with so far is that it smooths over Slowking Box to not *require* Xatu in play, or as many night stretchers for recovering energy (now they can recover attackers to copy)

"oh wow! this country is so futuristic! they're living in 2050"

BITCH NO! THEYRE LIVING IN 2025 LIKE THE REST OF US. WE JUST LIVE IN THE U.S. WHERE TRANSIT, INFRASTRUCTURE, AND TECHNOLOGY ARE ALL BEING HELD BACK SO SOME ASSHOLES MAKE MORE MONEY

I’ve noticed a cultural change toward everyone bringing their own information with them, and it being tech-dependent

You used to have paper tickets. Now you need a QR code on your phone.

There used to be subway maps everywhere. Now you need an app.

There used to be public clocks.

For real

Like for Series Six, had they not printed all 5 of the other TWM ace specs, I could *maybe* see the argument that it hadn't seen enough play yet. I would disagree, but the argument could have been made.

For series seven to ALSO not include it is criminal!

How Secret Box, the MOST-PLAYED ace spec from Twilight Masquerade, was kept off of the set list for BOTH prize packs that the set was in, I will never understand

They printed EVERY OTHER ace spec from TWM in Series Six! Even Survival Brace!

I would rather die than create an account to continue

3-0 last night at my locals' monthly Win-a-ETB! Hadn't touched this deck in 6 weeks, but last second decided to break it back out. Still love how it plays, but it's still missing that consistent set up/draw

+1 White Flare ETB since I don't care for Prismatic

Wow, they really did it...
Thwackey/Hydrapple stonks just went way up huh

Saw someone call AI users “botlickers” and that is very funny

Holy shit, nice!

It's times like this where I appreciate how Bluesky's block feature is so strong; now I never have to even think about that account again

Absolutely entitled lib post turned unhinged behavior when they got called out for it

Marko next please redbull I beg 🙏🙏

Now is the time to genuinely push for desktop Linux as the norm.

When attacking is wrong: a Pokémon TCG design analysis One of the best plays in a game of Pokémon TCG I've ever seen live happened two weeks ago at the North American International Championships...

Coming back from NAIC, I had thoughts about the iconic play at the end of the Tord vs Riley semifinals, and how the Scarlet & Violet block has been designed to allow this kind of play. I consolidated these thoughts in an article for my blog!

Alternatively, Ethan's Ho-Oh ex, Armarouge, plus this and the Mega Latias ex
But I don't find that combo as fun

Steven's Metagross ex, this, and the Mega Latias ex
Oh we're cooking

The fundamental problem with Sarah McBride's logic in the New York Times today is that the fight over transgender rights is not one where "if only we were a little less confrontational" is the driving factor.

Look at Republicans and how they treat people that even acknowledge a transgender woman.
