Me and my friend Sam went to the San Antonio Pokemon Regional Championship with 2 goals in mind. Compete our hearts out, and purchase a booster box. Also i... maybe didnt tell him we could spend as much as we could on a Pokemon Booster Box... Oops ;)

Try out the TCG, it makes collecting 110% more fun and more worthwhile

[@BucketalOrbit]

@@sheerheartattack3867I REALLY want to, but the thing is that there’s a deck I really wanna build, and I have done a lot of research, but I just don’t know how exactly to get the cards. I could just buy packs and hope I get all of the ones I need, but that can get pricey and there’s no guarantee I’m getting the cards I need. I would LOVE to go to regional like this so I can get the cards at a vendor, but they always are way too far away from where I’m at, but I REALLY wanna get into TCG

[@LuckyyBrawl]

1 comfey out of an entire box is crazy, but the alt art giratina basically makes up the price of the box if not fully.

[@bembywemby]

crazy seeing a bs player here

[@LuckyyBrawl]

@@bembywemby how is that crazy?

[@TheDisturbedDragon]

It more than makes up for it, alt art is about 300 bucks.

[@melskunk]

I loved Sam's escalating "What does that do? What does THAT do?? WHAT DOES THAT DO??" As each new broken card appeared

[@jamiechesnut6110]

That's not how confusion works. The Pokemon stays confused until it hits the bench. Then if you attack you flip a coin. If heads the attack goes through. If tails it fails and you do 30 damage to yourself

Seeing Alt Art Giratina V get played is like when I saw someone use SIR Miriam during the SV Prerelease. Value be damned, these cards were meant to be played with. You love to see it.

[@matchumadori5291]

lol I pulled the SIR Miriam and traded it for the SIR Penny during prerelease. That Penny had been my chase card for the set, so even if I ended up losing value, still enjoyed that trade.

[@ARDIZsq]

@@matchumadori5291 I vibe with that trade. Still don't have the SIR Penny, but that and the UR Penny cards were my chases from SV, and I managed to pull the UR from a booster box. Wasn't the most valuable card I pulled in terms of money, but it was the most valuable in terms of personal value. Glad to hear there are still people who go for personal value over monetary value, especially with how many investors have invaded this space over the last few years.

[@vickykitty9492]

As someone who just got into TCG (digitally- I had a bunch of code cards that I just never got around to scanning in before) I love to see the pros at work! I’ve been trying to work out how to make a good synergistic deck and this was an awesome example! I also was able to actually follow along with the game this time compared to your previous tcg video, which made things a lot more easy to follow admittedly. ^^” I originally started to collect cards because I love the art, (I am an artist) but the game is so cool in itself and, once you get into it, it’s not as scary as I thought it would be! Thanks for providing a low-barrier of entry to the game with these videos! Much love and support!!

38:18 Cliffe: *_"I SPENT $900!!!"_* Goes to show a booster box can cost one way, but it's a whole other game & ultimately means absolutely nothing if you don't have a sufficient density of busted beasts in the packs.

I dont want to be that guy but they did a few things wrong, at 21:15 the rotom couldn't use that move since there has to be exactly 2 basic energies to work. Also at 29:09, confusion dosent go through flipping the coin (but then again, it wouldn't matter since he swapped out, which does that anyway).

[@HalianTheProtogen]

This reminds me of the Magic: The Gathering events a store in my area used to run on the weekend of or right after a set release, where you were given a fat pack/bundle (MTG's ETB equivalent) and had to make a 40-card Sealed deck from it. Those were a blast.

To be honest, I think having a Judge on set while filiming the game would be nice since there was some gameplay error this video (Phione goes to the bottom of the deck not the discard, you don't flip between turns for confusion, Shuppet almost didnt go to the lost zone when puppet offering was used, etc).
