Also thanks to Joe from Omnipoke: / omnipoke

[@ekuLsemaN]

i really appreciate the fact that he explained all of the rules and stratigies to use even though you're his opponent. True respect 👏

[@VBRNTCLRS]

I respect the symbol my guy ur a legend

[@Dexhammy]

Japanese symbol for beginners

[@sandingo]

because what fun is playing against a opponent that doesnt know how to play? whats the point?

[@skydriver5709]

It's beneficial for masters to teach others how to play, even give them their secrets, because they've already mastered them. The person they're teaching has yet to. The game isn't just about winning... it's about being challenged and still winning. Easy wins aren't fun.

[@heroritsu9891]

finally some Poketuber actually playing the game as is instead of promoting it as a form of financial gain, now this this is what the pokemon tcg should be about

[@governmentandmediadivideth8889]

Dude they all get paid no matter what also the time they put in and all the editing yeah they deserve to be paid. KZbin has changed over the years get over it lol

[@Tdawg1627]

Tricky gym plays as well

[@la0122]

KZbinrs who play PTCG/O: Tricky Gym, LittleDarkFury, AzulGG, TheSabeleyes, HotChocPTCG, Flex Daddy Righteus, and many more. Check 'em out if you want poketubers who play the card game

[@richreeve8992]

Yesss Randolph's back

[@MrPhil727]

Played pokemon since red/blue. I’m 26. I’ve always brought cards. Even after watching this I still have no idea how to play the card game haha

[@itschristyleigh4586]

Lol 26 as well. Used to play the game back when it was in the vending machines in the grocery and pharmacy stores in queens NY where I grew up the first half of my life. Was a lot of fun. When I was 8 back in 2003 😊 Collected from 2000 on. My gma has a whole binder of my old cards I need to check them out still. But I started to collect again almost 2 years ago 💛

[@mattjrk5679]

Same! I’m 21 and play the hell out of the Gen1-4. Still got no clue about card battles. Gen 5 I barely play. Gen 6 is to easy.

[@JAMbandful]

It’s easy to learn if you ever played yugioh or magic

[@williamumanzor2594]

Took me like 3 days to get the hang of it, I’m definitely no pro, don’t know how to build good decks just know the basics

[@KhanCarnivore]

I'm sure MC Grindah is the Brentford Pokemon TCG Champ. You should ask him for advice in exchange for some peanut dust

[@millertheman_]

Honestly didn’t think this video would be my thing but it was really interesting to see the tactics behind playing the TCG, feel like this will be a video that deserves a lot more views than it will get

[@itsPoachie]

Nice to see you back Randolph! Love this concept too, can never get enough of build and battle and with sets like Evolving Skies it has great potential!

[@Sock1122]

One thing I think really went wrong with the trading cards is just how busy the artwork on the new designs is The classic pokemon is simple and beautiful But I can't help but feel put off of the newer cards by how complicated and extravagant they try to make them look

[@georgewilkinson2142]

Joe moves the cards so methodically

[@BradenPearce14]

That satisfying snap of the card on the table too

[@clomew4484]

[@uchispellamatician7496]

This was great to watch, thank you for explaining. Appreciate you guys

[@lukeatkins9906]

Genuinely loved this video. Just someone playing physical Pokémon. Learning the game. Plus the format (camera facing players and the players’ hands) was so refreshing. Loved it and would love to see more!!!

[@MannyTripleStar]

I loved this video. Pokémon cards are so much more than just collecting! Thanks for sharing this.

[@billplaysbadly15]

This was awesome and omnipoke is a legend!! Hope we see this again!

[@overwatch1825]

It's refreshing to see them finally playing the game.. I love pokemon not really interested in collecting cards it's so much fun playing the game and EV training pokemon and battling people

[@Dilligaf666]

Finally been waiting for a new vid, cheers mate

[@Tristen_W]

Please do more of this! Im brand new to PTCG and the explanations help so much!

[@franciscofierro1422]

I’m still lost on the dice on card lol

[@gm_21]

Wohoo! Congrats randy! Would love to see more games please! Been back with the ptcgo lately, so hoping when the new client arrives you could cover that too!

[@mr.rogers7612]

Him rifle shuffling that deck hurts my heart

[@stealers13th]

Been into actually playing the tcg for a little over a year now, really awesome to see you play it Randy:)

[@MutherFIFA]

Loved watching this take on playing the game. Enjoyed this :)

[@ninjakirby2763]

Someone who actually plays with the cards?!?! TCG should be more like this.

[@alexhill2495]

Really awesome that you featured Omnipoke, a great guy and representative of the competitive TCG community. Joe did a great job explaining things too!

[@michaelspencer6401]

Enjoy seeing videos of the TCG being played. Keep it up.

[@ritvarsfreimanis]

[@Bigkcoc]

Such a positive person! Keep up da good work randy!

Go on Randy, mans doing big things out here

[@TKKCollector]

Randolph, quality content! Such a complex game. Sound like such a need to have so much knowledge, but so neat.

[@parthivpurkayastha9220]

Really enjoyed this video. Would love to see more TCG.

I’ll say.. I would not be surprised if the black shirt guy had an amazing sleight of hand!! 😂

[@matnolen1368]

Havent played pokemon since I think the first gym leader set and veen wanting to jump back in. First time watching your pokemon videos and I subscribed because you were so vocal so big ups to you and thanks for that.

[@kollectorjay]

Crazy how a few months ago I would have been completely lost here😂ptcgo really helps. Cant wait for the Live version.

[@Madrid-1210]

Keep doing videos like this! Really enjoyed it and cool way to learn how to play and it’s also really entertaining!

Nice to see you back Randolph!!

[@upstateangler9575]

This is great content !And you look happy doing it .

[@jeffysgolfgame7855]

Gr8 vid. Good to see some actual card game play 🤗

[@rstory2319]

I think that poke tubers actually knowing how to play adds so much more depth and credibility to the card game.

[@pokejam5850]

Great video love this type of content 🔥

[@tqffo]

so glad to have you back randolph! :)

[@JamesCollects]

I want to see Randolph Vs Zherka using the original 2 player starter machamp decks

[@spinal1280]

Randy is an imminent world champ. Zherka can't hold a candle to Randy.

[@chrismonteith1406]

I've been collecting cards for a few years and this is the first game I have ever seen being played. Makes me really want to get into it. Really enjoyed this video, thank you

[@jodiemcjodie1974]

Its a lot of fun and makes opening packs even more exciting

[@TheKaijudist]

Pretty wild how common it is for people to not play. I can't imagine getting a card with rules text and not wanting to play with it. But everyone is different!

[@jasonvor-da-hehes678]

This was very cool too watch!

Yes, finally someone plays the game!

[@theyumblat5420]

The Umbreon vmax 215/203 is one of my favorite cards, and seeing it get shuffled lw hurt my soul haha.

[@antibullshit]

I haven't played TCG in like 15 years, and the game has changed a lot. I can see now that matches are much quicker, with all the drawing several cards during your turn, prizes, and hard hitters. Interesting

[@fastmaker9091]

Did you play in 2006 that format seems like fun I haven’t played it but want to. I understood why you haven’t since because the following format wasn’t as good. There was a lot more drawn out turns and even tho 2prizers existed not every deck relied on them and rockets admin.

[@antibullshit]

@@fastmaker9091 Yeah. I actually liked it when it used to be a much slower game. I just lost interest in the TCG overall and now only play the video games.

[@fastmaker9091]

I tried to get into VGC but I never got hooked like the TCG. I know some people go from the TCG to VGC.

Nice play with someone know everything 👍🏼👍🏼

How many cards do each of these decks have? It seems like so much more than the 60 I thought they were supposed to be.

[@Mob-tq7gv]

I was gonna get into the tcg so I made a full fairy deck but it was hard since the stopped making them so I had to go off my old cards and it didn't work out that well so I just didn't use it

[@jacobfrandsen2000]

We back with a banger!!!

[@lennardmulder8866]

I'm so excited to get back into the tcg. I've quit about 10 years ago. Have 2 of my 4 decks ready to go. Sad part is the tournaments are still not going on in the netherlands. So hopefully soon I'll get to play my decks! (Have my decks ready for half a year. Quarantine time sucks)

[@Kapoetski3]

There are some locals here and there also in the netherlands. But they are still far and between indeed.
