NGL, Entei Gold Star sounds pretty insane. Self milling ten cards in a more modern format would be insane, especially with how many decks use things like Battle Compressor in Expanded

You're discarding 10 cards off of YOUR deck, not your opponent's. In that format, if you did 70 damage & mill 10 cards off of your opponent's deck (especially when you're already at an advantage), that card would be busted.

@@RednekGamurz Yeah, I'm comparing it to Battle compressor man. Self Mill on that large of a scale could be super impactful for discard energy acceleration or setting up things like VS Seeker or V-Unions. Not even mentioning if we get more cards like Lost Thunder Giratina and Ho-Oh EX that entirely rely on the discard pile. A card like this would do so much work if it was in a more favorable format

Something worth noting is that the introductory set for gold stars, EX Team Rocket Returns, also introduced one of the most powerful disruptive supporters ever printed in Rocket's Admin, which shuffles both players' hands into their decks and they draw a card for each remaining prizes. I didn't play during this era, but I started in gen 5 and when Rocket's Admin was reprinted as "N" there was absolutely no denying its ability to brutally stall, if not outright shutdown your opponent (and that format was much faster and hard hitting in comparison). The reason this is relevant is that it could've made the comeback components of many of the lesser gold stars much more potent if your opponent got hit with a Rocket's Admin at 1 or 2 prizes and you could continuously bludgeon them with cards like Groudon (or Regirock/Ice if you planned far enough ahead or got enough scoop up heads) while they fumbled to regain their footing.

@MarioMastar6 ай бұрын
One of the cool things about an ever evolving meta is that sometimes that does happen. Even the regular Pokemon has seen unusual shifts in old generation formats because new players were willing to experiment with overlooked pokemon and found genuine success with them, and it's not just a matter of the new generations mechanics, but rather people taking a second harder look at the old generation and realizing that there was a move/stat combination that happened to perfectly counter the meta on a pokemon that was otherwise easily countered by most other threats. Sometimes it just takes a bit of creativity, or a reminder that these cards even exist. Though powercreep often puts a hard lid on some of these cards if the only thing they offer is power. It was smart of Yugioh to establish that 3000 attack was the highest attack you could get from a normal monster and make monsters either weaker than that but have a positive effect, or stronger but require resources more challenging than mill + monster reborn or stronger but have a negative effect, so in theory, a blue eyes white dragon could always beat most monsters in battle, assuming some other effect didn't destroy it before it got the chance. (Yugioh seems to have the opposite problem Pokemon TCG has, as battle damage isn't really something people worry about when it used to be so fundamental to the game and the reason why powerful monster removal spells and traps were common)
@KingChiggy6 ай бұрын
It's always weird to me thinking that a pokemon with an ability to do 10 damage is considered amazing. When I got back into the TCG when Sword and Shield started I saw everyone running Galarian Zigzagoon because it did 10 damage to a pokemon when you put it on the bench and I thought "HP values are so high, how is that going to be useful?" lol

I'm not understanding why people were running Jolteon over the Flareon when the burn deals 2 damage vs Jolteon doing just 1. You could even switch your active out right away to remove the burn from your side.
@kingwailord41435 ай бұрын
Burn worked differently in generation 3 thats why. At the time burn did 20 damage but it was on a coin flip each turn; if you flipped heads you took 0 damage and if you flipped tails you took 20 (burn also persisted inbetween turns until you switched your active). So if you consider averages flareon does the same damage as jolteon, but at the cost of a coin flip it was better to use the more consistent card that always did 10 damage.

One thing I found out about the Pokemon TCG, rarity dictates the price for a lot of these cards and not playability. Base set Charizard is unplayable in its own format, yet it's the most expensive. Gen 3 Pokemon TCG is when I played the most before dropping it entirely. Pokemon star werent something you were actually wanting to add to your deck.

Factually incorrect. Many cards are desirable, such as alt arts versus trainer gallery, but, the more scarce a card is, the more expensive itll be. Its a mix of desirablity and scarcity. For older cards, think rarity more than scarcity too, not just pull rates, but how many NM copies exist.@@Hachiko96
