I really enjoy playing the pokemon tcg nothing is better then a good pokemon card pack opening if the pokemon cards are worth money its even better. getting into a pokemon card battle is also fun. Of course playing the pokemon tcg is my forte! like how to build a pokemon deck and playing the pokemon tcg online is how I spend most of my evenings. Pokemon tcg tournament are also great and if you even need any help on how to play the pokemon tcg then let me know! Dont forget you can also open pokemon tcg pack online too! Ive never got to open packs with leonhart or randolph but hopefully will soon! Not pokemon vgc pokemon vgc online or pokemon tcg world championships. Building pokemon decks is very fun! watching other deck profiles and deck lists is very helpful

Prize checking is very important, but DO NOT CHECK EVERY SINGLE PRIZE CARD. Even if it’s game 1 you don not want to waste a bunch of valuable time deducing your 6th prize card. Just check the important stuff for the match. For example in mew, Pokémon are important , but you probably don’t need to worry about quick ball or battle vip pass. And sometimes power tablets are important but against something like lost box you dont need to worry too much about them.

@BurtsPTCG Жыл бұрын

That's fair, i think if your learning to prize check at home you should get in the habit of checking for all six but in competitive play just check important stuff yes 🙏

7:06 The biggest thing I learned from this video is that there's resources like this to make it easy to print proxies of whole decks!! I'm only just getting back into the game after many years, so I don't have many copies of the staples, never mind the cards unique to each deck. Definitely a resource I'll be coming back to as I continue to work on my own builds and tweak what I've already got.

My top 3 tips are as follows... The best tip to give is to play along the meta. Rogue decks are generally not strong enough to constantly and consistently contend with the top threats. They are fun for local play or getting quick wins in a best of 1, but at a regionals it likely isn't the right call. Another tip is to make sure the decks that are being tested against are meta. Some lists have some jank in it or just are suboptimal lists. Sometimes the player piloting the deck might not be super familiar with the win conditions of the deck either. The last tip is practice only your chosen deck and only make small changes at a time if needed. that won't hurt the core engine or consistency of the deck. This last tip is crucial because most of the winning lists you will see from regionals are just 1 or 2 modified cards from an existing and well known list.

Legit taking tips 2 and 3 every day since I’ve been playing zard ex on ptcgl. Deck went from that basic ptcgl list, to now it looking almost like 1st places lists minus 1-2 cards. Testing in causal mode has helped me understand more of what the deck can do, & it also helps when you misplay since you can learn from those. Great tips 🙌🏻

The not practicing enough. Something I learn from playing poker with friends is no matter how bad your hand is, play it out because you never know the outcomes. I see many players who start out with a bad hand or have a bad turn 1-2 and they scoop. Don't do it. Play it out. If you never noticed, Japanese players never scoop, they play every hand and every game till the end because you never know if you will top deck a card or if your opponent will misplay. Practice every hand combination out there and play to the best of your abilities.

@BurtsPTCG Жыл бұрын

Yeah! Seeing all possibilities and playing it out is so important!

@zigster1298 Жыл бұрын

One idea for you. Could you make a video advising on how to handle tournaments? There’s a big difference between playing with yourself or fiends, and playing in timed events with multiple rounds. A list of good habits to get into / things you can do to give yourself the best chance at succeeding at events giving CP would be really appreciated.

@toromisher Ай бұрын

Something else to add for testing and deck building is Tord's classic advice. For every single card changed you sold to run 30 games to actually be able to evaluate its effect. Obviously for more casual players this is a bit much but generally sticking to only changing one card at a time between sessions is important. Otherwise you will end up easily losing track of your deck's consistency and gameplan if you are constantly making changes between games.

I scribble down during play what appears to be missing from my deck, then add it in next game for something that I never seem to use, sometimes it makes no difference but occasionally adding say an extra Basic Energy card or whatever it may be improves the deck dramatically, it's well worth a fiddle, but I don't recommend massive changes all in one go, I am sure you already do this mate like with writing down your prizes, but for others reading scribbling down something like: (Escape Rope instead of Switch) on a bit of paper then giving it a try to see if the disruption pays off, or (Deck needs a Roseanne to get my Tool, Special Energy and Stadium back) sometimes works wonders, it's a real useful way to improve your existing decks especially rogue ones which is what I tend to play Bellsprout #1!

I think a good tip is to always have a gameplan every turn and what cards you need to accomplish said plan. This keeps you from randomly playing cards just because you can play them as well as finding the right pokemon at the right time with a search card or attaching an energy to the right pokemon. I'm new to the game and a lot of the time I will not have a follow up for next turn because I burned cards I really shouldn't have.

BUT I HAD ALREADY USED MY VSTAR POWER... if I had taken comfey instead I woudlve had game with the Kyogre combo which wouldve given me the 2-0 W. Cause we were short on time, the Match ended in a draw, while if I had just looked at my vstar marker I wouldve known what to do and what not to Do...

Replace the tedious notepad writing with single symbols for each card. Count the cards in each category while searching to know what you are missing. For most decks, a full search is not necessary.
