FurthestChunk: Cute little kid in a hoodie that will beat you to death with a cudgel
ChargingFurret: donks are only really viable in extended, and extended has an ftk, so it's a pretty dead format
KhazzyB: interestingly giving your opponent a mulligan isnt crippling in this game because there is so much tutoring and thinning

Garfman314: just joining, how many cards in these decks
TXC2: hello ekplayscards welcome
ChargingFurret: @Garfman314 pokemon tcg, so 60
WitchyTQ: hear me out, i come sit there and just flip the coins for you.
Garfman314: huh, they look taller
ekplayscards: No wonder why Wheeler wins so many die rolls.

JumbahJawn: The Base Fossil vods got me back into pokemon and i've been playing the hell out of standard the past two weeks because of it
flatluigi: okay answered
ChargingFurret: @TXC2 most competitive play involves counting the cards in your deck in your first search to *know* what cards are in your prizes
ipoddodd: certain abilities only apply when the pokemon is active, but those explicitly call it out
Simbionis: like flutter mane's
LoadingReadyRun: @JumbahJawn nice to hear!
TXC2: ChargingFurret ok then
ChargingFurret: prize counting gets compicated in the fan-made singleton format, cause you have to know your decklist

BlueArrowRedBird: retreat gardevoir!

JumbahJawn: Tm Devolution is such a card
Earthenone:
your deck knew what it was doing prizing the pidgey, clearly
Cinnabat: That's so cool!
ChargingFurret: devolution hits both charizards (it doesn't matter)
GBT722: Devo gets both Zards. ONLY 1 prize
Simbionis: note it's all of the pokemon, so the other charizard goes into hand too
KhazzyB: hits both zards thoug

TXC2: hello AzaleaCloud welcome
ChargingFurret: gg
Aceviru: Woo
Cinnabat:
I'm really surprised at how close the match was was despite the silly start, nicely done Bens
ChargingFurret: ben got close, even with half the strategy prized!
Earthenone: the age old battle of type advantage vs consistancy issues
AzaleaCloud: It is Bo3, they just don't have sideboards.
Boltarion: how long are you guys going to be on??
GBT722: Bo3 at majors, Bo1/Bo3 at locals at the discretion of the TO
Simbionis: regular locals is bo1, anything higher is bo3
Boltarion: SWEET
Aceviru:
Your prize cards are your sideboard
AzaleaCloud: God, imagine if killing a creature in Magic just let you do a Wish.
PhoenixMelior: It feels like the prized out thing doesnt happen as much as i thought though
Earthenone: its is charizard with a suplimentary engine
TXC2:
AzaleaCloud don't give them ideas
AzaleaCloud: @PhoenixMelior Yeah, it's a thing that can happen because it's a card game and variance is a thing, but it's not such a risk that you can't afford to play pieces as only 1-ofs.

BlueArrowRedBird: all you use is the ability
Simbionis: Fezandipiti goes in every deck
PhoenixMelior: @azaleacloud and needing to play a basic before you prize means you don't COMPLETELY get bussed up
Simbionis: Shaymin EX was a mistake
GBT722: Absolutely. Keeps you from getting Iono'ed out of the game
GBT722: Shaymin/Crobat, etc. are WAY too good fwiw

Bye @TXC2
PhoenixMelior: Green goblin mask? That's Ogerpon
BlueArrowRedBird: the precons are almost competitive as well
GBT722: Decks are so cheap too in comparison to something like MTG/Yu-Gi-Oh
BlueArrowRedBird: you can get a dragapult ex precon and just add a few cards in
Koopan: I love how Modern Pokemon is like Modern Yugioh in that it doesn't play even remotely the same as their retro formats. Like this is a completely different game then Base-Fossil last week
PhoenixMelior: I hear pokemon scalpers are kind of an issue now?
JumbahJawn: yeah a tier 1 deck is like $100 why not get into it
Earthenone: how much did you pay for the 4 decks you are using today?
TruPhantomAngel: oh, you’re playing replicas of this years champion decks. nice.
Aceviru: Pokemon is ultra affordable
Garfman314: my wife and i just found an official pokemon tcg store that we didn't know existed
Garfman314: league challenge
Simbionis: that Gardevoir deck costs like $75

themercenary1987: But theres a whole manga about magic!
BrowneePointz: yea I remember Poke YGO and MTG are the three biggest globally
Earthenone:
i know yugioh and its spinnof rush duels are BOTH in the top 5 tcgs in japan
Jundinator: <message deleted>I wonder if LRR can get a copy of that really rare acclaim MTG arcade game, even through emulation
Simbionis: Duel Masters has been the on in the MTG spot Japan wise
TruPhantomAngel: See, why I feel hesitate getting into Pokémon is cause of the prices I see for singles and the issue getting product.
BrowneePointz: i just forgot Poke is in first by a LANDSLIDE
Koopan: Duel Masters outsells MTG in Japan lol
LoadingReadyRun: Ideally I guess it would be good to have lrrbot skip the "reminder" text that is repeated on all the TM, EX, cards etc to leave room for the actually important card text
AzaleaCloud: @Earthenone Please Konami bring Rush Duels to NA, I'm begging you
PhoenixMelior: Monke
TruPhantomAngel: But I guess basic singles are overall pretty affordable?
ChargingFurret: rush duels has the coolest art cards
Jundinator: <message deleted>Gundam TCG is taking off Ben
Simbionis: the Detective Conan TCG has been in the Japanese top 10 lately lol
Koopan: Even stuff like Union Arena and for a while, though not anymore, Weiss Shwartz
LoadingReadyRun: @Simbionis Detective Conan? Liek Conan the Barbarian is solving crimes?
Koopan: Why are we not just using Rocket's Sneak Attacks as our proxies for everything?
BrowneePointz: it’s kind of wild seeing the One Piece tcg exploding due to the confluence of 1. Good rules with 2. one of the biggest popularity media of all time
AzaleaCloud:
No Paul, but that would be so funny.
Jundinator: <message deleted>Wasn't it last year's world tournament where someone got caught cheating at the feature match?
A_Dub888: Pidgmander
Jundinator: <message deleted>@azaleacloud how do you know thats Paul
BrowneePointz: Paul uh
RatherLargeToad: Still waiting for Detective Conan, the Barbarian
Juliamon: Jundinator because he was introduced as Paul at the start of the stream
Jundinator: <message deleted>Oh
AzaleaCloud: @Jundinator I'm right behind him and I totally don't have a steel chair. >.>

Jturbobanana: Like Conan O'Brien? The former late night talk show host?

Jturbobanana: @AzaleaCloud 2021
trebuchetboy: lightly toasted
AzaleaCloud: Wow. Shows how little attention I pay to TV anymore.

BrowneePointz: it's just a lil goofy guy that gets yeeted by mom and dad like a missile

Simbionis: you wanna develop as many noctowls as possible by using fan rotom
