Nice, I still want that immersive Pikachu first though..

 

[TropicanaTwista]

Glad to see a new pack announced, I still need a decent amount of cards but I just get so many duos, the game has almost become useless. Have all Venusaur, single player, and the new even challenge done, so there really isn't anything for me to do but add more cards

 

[ebevan91]

I believe it's around 80 cards. Someone elsewhere said it's like how Japan has mini expansions between the actual big TCG expansions.

 

[ebevan91]

Not really, but I did finally at least get the Greninja, after getting 2 more Onix.

I googled a good auto-battle deck for this event and I've been auto-battling for like an hour and still don't have the Venusaur. I've used all of my stamina and pretty much all of the items you can use to restore stamina. I got like, 2 tries left maybe. I'm doing Expert so I can get a guaranteed pack.

I have a local games shop that has some tables and chairs. They mostly do trading, but I might see if I can get some games going with all EX, etc. banned. Just normal cards, maybe even only gen 1.

Not EX decks are fine but only asking for Gen One? Lmao. People gotta stop doing this. It's not 1998 anymore. Does seeing new Pokemon bother you that much?

 

[Robb]

Misty decks have been absolutely wrecking me recently.. Is there even a point to continue if they flip 3+ coins? Seems like it’s just an automatic win.

I’ve just used my saved up hourglasses to open 35 of the new Mythical Island themed booster pack (the Mew pack). Here’s what I got:

That's a lot of mid, bro, no crown cards?

Nice haul. I really want that immersive Celebi. Used up all of my stuff as well, got some decent stuff. But no Celebi or Mew yet…

 

[Banjo64]

It is. What’s a crown card sorry?

 

[Robb]

It is. What’s a crown card sorry?

Highest rarity above the triple stars. They’re usually just gold colored EX cards.

Most of the 1/2/3 star stuff you got looks way nicer in terms of card art, imo.

I have no gold cards yet

I did just pulled a Mew EX via Wonderpick which is nice!

 

[Werewolf Jones]

I opened like 22 packs and all I got was the full FA Celebi EX. Smh. I just wanted Aerodactyl to build a deck around it... Still... Maybe Serperior has got some juice as a bench booster.

 

[Banjo64]

Seems like a nuts Eevee card that, should sweep early game if you’re lucky. I have 2 eevees in my fire deck that I’m swapping out for these.

 

[ResurrectedContrarian]

Nice to see new cards, might spark some welcomed change in the versus games for a while as everyone comes to terms with new possibilities.

I have plenty of hourglasses for a 10-pack opening, will do so tonight then see if any of my current decks might totally change strategy.

 

[xHunter]

Got my first gold card ever. Bought 10 packs.

That's dope, man, congrats

 

[ResurrectedContrarian]

That Mew Ex looks... overpowered. I don't have it yet, but just thinking about its copy ability, that's pretty insane.

Just for fun/chaos I like to use Dittos sometimes in multi energy decks and it's rare but amazing to actually manage to steal some attack from an opponent's EX card. But Ditto still has to have the specific energy for the target attack. To copy anything for 3 energy (of any color!) is a bit insane. That card alone gives me serious concerns about balance going forward.

 

[Herbspiceguy]

Basically (original set) EX counter: the expansion

 

[Robb]

30 packs opened so far and not a single Celebi or Mew card..

 

[Bloody Crow of Cainhurst]

Opened two packs back to back, pulled two full art MewTwo exs. Same thing happened yesterday. Every time I open a MewTwo pack I get either a full art or Gold MewTwo ex. I wish I had such good luck with other packs, because I always get trash in the other ones.

 

[Bloody Crow of Cainhurst]

Post screenshots of your best cards, guys, anything with three gold stars/ full art/ or a gold crown

 

[ResurrectedContrarian]

Adding the flute to my Victreebell deck is hilarious, lol.

I recently won by killing the same Pokemon three times in a row in successive turns, by restoring it from their discard to the bench with flute, pulling to front with Victreebell, then kill shot.

 

[MakeMudosGreatAgain]

Had a few people concede once their Mewtwo Ex gets knocked out unexpectedly.

Uhh, that was me

 

[ebevan91]

That full art Salandit from the Mythical Island expansion is BEAUTIFUL. Might be my favorite card design in the game so far.

This one?

 

[ebevan91]

This one?

Yes that one.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

If there was a Pokemon with a passive ability to poison that Salandit card would be great.

My fav. is when its turn 1 and they have an articuno ex > misty 3 energy cards to it > game over.

 

[Fahdis]

Been running a Greninja, Staryu and Finneon deck with Misty. Won 8 games in a row so far with luck. Fin and Star evo's have no issues retreating due to no cost. Greninja just having a good time using abilities.

 

[Robb]

I’ve been having fun with these builds:

Although the first one is somewhat inconsistent since it’s a multi-energy deck. But it’s fun to mess with the opponent using the abilities. I think it needs another non-EX Gengar though, but I only have one.

Man, I really need to step away from the MewTwo ex/ Gardevoir deck. I finally got two Pikachu exs yesterday and I've been having a blast with Circle Circuit, what a great move!

 

[Jinxed]

Finally got 68/68 cards of the island expansion. Started this game 2-3 weeks ago, it's pretty nice.

 

[TropicanaTwista]

I just lost a match on turn 2 when I had out an EX Moltres to the new island expansion eevee. 7 heads in a row! Gotta love rng

 

[Werewolf Jones]

I think Gyarados-EX/Druddigon is the first legit skill deck I've seen in this game. lmao.

I fought a Celebi Ex that flipped FOURTEEN coins for 50 damage each, like what the fuck? I don't know what determines how many coins they can flip, but isn't 14x50 a bit too much?

Celebi Killer deck is good too:

2x Ponyta (Island)
2x Rapidash (one from original and the other from Island)
2x Magmar (Island)
2x Vulpix
2x Ninetails
2x Blaine
2x Professor
2x Potion
2x X Speed
2x Pokeball

Lol, Magmar (Blaine) with Rapidash Original has made me win so many times. And Ninetails keeps tanking them if Second Turn.

This is basically what I run when playing online lol. Only thing is I swap one magnar for a Moltres EX. If you get lucky and get it in your first turn, can generate a lot of free fire energy. Love taking down that cheese Celebi deck.

My pulls have been absolutely terrible for the Mew Island packs.

Even a 10 pack one and in one pack I got a couple of the lower picture cards, and then another Pidgeot EX in another. That was it.

And everything since has just been normal cards.

As for battling, I only do so against the computer. Centiskorch with Moltres EX, and Ponyta/Rapidash and Vulpix/Ninetails has been serving me well though.

It's energy attached. Which if they manage to build up a Serperior is even more broken than MewTwo EX/Gardevoir.

 

[ebevan91]

I'm pretty sure the Misty card in my game is broken. 16 tails in a row. I'm keeping count. I've never landed a single heads on Misty before.

I did 350 damage yesterday by getting 7/8 heads.

I've noticed that every time I open a MewTwo pack, it's always something glorious, and 1/10 will be God Packs. I never, ever get a bad pack, but for every other type of pack I get nothing but garbage. I'm just gonna stick to opening MewTwo boosters from now on, even though I have multiple of all the good cards

I've never had a god pack. There was one with two picture cards (beautiful illustrations), but hardly powerful cards.

 

[Tams]

Well, I just did a 10 pack open of Mew Mystical Island, plus another pack.

The only special card I got was Mew EX. I got a Florges that I didn't have yet. That's it.
