The Last Poster Wins! [v17]

[Bulbasaur]

Altering the topic to real life cards, am I the only one that didn't like how tournaments only accepted decks with cards from the past year or two? At least, I believe when HG/SS came out the oldest cards that were allowed were from Mysterious Treasures, which is the SECOND D/P/Pt set. That's not many sets, and I feel like you have to get a booster pack every week in order to make a decent deck at that rate.

[Neo Emolga]

Yeah, I'm not too crazy about that. That pretty much forces people to buy all the new cards, which hints at a money-making scheme.

I used to buy the physical cards, but now I just stick with the TCGO.

I never really got into battling with the cards, I just collect them. The plan is to make the pokedex out of Cards, but the binders just aren't big enough to hold them all anymore. Anyone got any special collectable cards?

[Chakramaster]

I've still got a few plastic bins filled with old gen 1-2 cards and the collectable cards (with the puzzle pieces/pictures on the back). I don't collect the cards anymore. I actually switched from Pokemon to YuGiOh back when it first came out. Most tournament I went to for that were strict in the same way at times. There was one where we could only use cards from certain packs alone. I loved how they gave us a pack for entry and then per round we won though.

[Neo Emolga]

Yeah, I've been mainly getting Magic: the Gathering cards. I have a coworker that's heavily into it, and he got me back into playing MTG.

The only thing I don't like too much about the Pokemon TCG is its tendency to be very luck-based. I've seen way too many games have an outcome that was greatly affected simply by the coin-flipping.

Boo.
