MASSIVE LIST of Pokemon TCG Cards We're Losing to the 2024 ROTATION! - Mew VMAX, Gardevoir, & More

[@JanickFilms]

Both the Mew and Ice Rider decks were what allowed me to enter the more competitive side of Pokemon TCG. Although I never joined any tournaments, playing with friends or online made my investment worthwhile. I'm sad, but also excited to see the new meta to develop!

[@InThirdPerson]

Mew and Ice Rider were early faves of mine too!

[@UltraNixAlert]

So much for my Miraidon ex deck.

[@w0lfGG]

Rip the battle league deck lol

[@shinyocelot04archive]

Mew and Shadow Rider Calyrex helped me get back into the game. While Calyrex did fall off a bit, I'm going to miss these two.

[@InThirdPerson]

I was late to the Shadow Rider party but I always have fun playing it. Mew is my all-time fave and I’m sad to see it go :(

[@Iggy20]

I used Old cemetery in my deck. Loved playing that in psychic deck, sad to see it go. Looks like I’m going to have to build a new deck, with a lot of my cards rotating. Great video bro!

[@InThirdPerson]

I used to play Old Cemetery in my Dragapult VMAX deck!

[@popo237]

Loved the Mew VMax League Deck. Bought 3. Opened 2 and left 1 on my shelf

[@glenndavis8273]

Wow, massive list! Thanks for taking the time to put this together and share your knowledge!

[@HoratioFitzbastard]

Peonia is a killer for me. I've lost count of the amount of times she's saved me when crucial cards have been stuck in my prize stack.

[@praoscrihdoe5463]

RS Urshifu, Mew Vmax, and Gengar Vmax got me into the tcg. Kinda sucks that they are leaving.

[@InThirdPerson]

I started playing a week before the launch of Chilling Reign. All of those Pokemon represent my start too. R.I.P.

[@ItsLouisnotLouis]

I'm super disappointed with the Gardevoir rotating. I finally get to use it viably and then out the window it goes.

[@InThirdPerson]

The deck is still seeing play post-rotation in Japan. It’s on the fringes of competitive viability, so not all is lost. However, it no longer is a top-tier deck (at least for the time being).

[@jamaalhayes4234]

NA NA NAaaa NAaaa! NA NA NAAAAA NAAAA!!!! HEEEYY HEEEYY HEEEEYYY!!1 GOOOOODDDDD BBYYYYEEEEEEEeeee1 (Mew) >: ). but goodbye jolteon ;(

[@LukeSeyffert]

is this also for "in-person" official tournaments or just for the online tcg?

[@InThirdPerson]

In-person rotation date is April 5th, as noted in the video.

[@LukeSeyffert]

@@InThirdPerson okay thanks, because it is a little bit necessary for my meowscarada deck

[@MB-km3br]

i'm so happy path of the peak goes out!!! the hardest counter ever against gholdengo+palkia deck D:!!!

[@InThirdPerson]

I really hope Path to the Peak returns. I understand how annoying it can be to lose access to parts of your deck, but I think the card has done wonders for preventing the top decks from completely running away with things. Before path, decks with rule box Pokemon with abilities dominated with no answers for decks that didn’t have those. It’s the only card set for rotation that I want to see come back.

[@DarkCT]

@@InThirdPerson Path going, Avery going, Klara going, Rescue carrier going... these hurt me the most. my main decks in the pokemon TCG lately were all centered around cards that used them, or had a connection to single prizing. we're going into a format where Charizard has no path to slow it down, recovery for single prizers is going to be even slower, and the only good news ive gotten so far is the newer vip pass for my evo decks, but the decks that give the most trouble in the format either benefit from it to or sidestep it like Miraidon can.

[@waddleboo7646]

Poor fusion eiscue, its staying in but one of it's attacks are no longer useable.

[@shinyocelot04archive]

Fusion Eiscue is an E block card despite being released in Brilliant Stars. In Japan it originated from VMAX Climax, which is where most of our Trainer/Galarian Gallery cards came from.

[@mrmeow2297]

A reckoning is upon us

[@jonunciate7018]

I love that the term "mill" is being used for playstyles that discard cards from the top of a deck in pokemon. It's a term borrowed from the card "millstone" in magic the gathering which puts cards from a player's library (deck) into their graveyard (discard). Mill is a popular term used to describe similar strategies in magic. To my knowledge, there is no millstone in pokemon but I like what the card Pokestop does for self mill.

[@manleyfgc7981]

Dude, mill is used in tons of card games and every card game is inspired by magic in some form.

[@chartedlife]

Mill has been around for a long time in Pokemon, after all the Pokemon TCG was originally designed by Wizards of the Coast and has featured a lot of similar effects to Magic cards.

[@psychokim92]

RIP Zoroark. I will miss a lot my little buddy

[@InThirdPerson]

RIP

[@gomezedgar91]

Tulip is the somewhat replacement for Klara

[@muhammadelfeehairuzeel1316]

sad to see mew vmax go, that deck was my main deck

[@hecticcorpse8939]

What do you think miraidon decks will use going forward as path to the peak will be rotating

[@InThirdPerson]

Some Miraidon decks have already moved off of Path to the Peak, particularly Peony-based builds that rely on Beach Court or Collapsed Stadium. However, that build has an awful Charizard matchup due to the lack of ability disruption. Not sure what the play will be going forward.

[@hecticcorpse8939]

@@InThirdPerson I sent you my miraidon list in the last video comments Do you think I should tweak my deck?

[@huiuiu]

weird time trying to start getting into the physical tcg for the first time.... what should my first deck be? I wanted to play lost zone giratina but it ofc features cards we lose due to rotation.

[@InThirdPerson]

Lost Zone Giratina loses very little to rotation. Basically just Battle VIP Pass and Escape Rope. The former can be replaced with Nest Balls and the new Buddy Poffin, while rope can just be replaced with any other switch card, including the new Prime Catcher.

[@huiuiu]

@@InThirdPerson That was great info man. Tyvm, not so easy to see for a beginner! Guess my choice wasn't that bad then, lets see how good it holds with new metas.

[@InThirdPerson]

No worries! We all start out somewhere and I only went through my first rotation a few years ago. It’s a scary time for newcomers for sure but everything will be okay. Giratina has been a top deck since it launched last year and is arguably at its strongest right now. Lots can happen going forward, but I can’t imagine a world where it falls out of the meta anytime soon.

[@huiuiu]

@@InThirdPerson Valuable Information to spend my euros wisely. Will scope out the Geratinas then :)

[@smugs7921]

Cheers for the list now I know what I will need to take out come rotation and what I can put towards extended
