Hi

[@austinmiller6723]

Hey JWittz, long time fan here. I know you might be loaded on video ideas, but when you have the time I'd love to see your take on both the new Digimon TCG and the Disney Villainous Board Game. I think you would really love the interaction of Villainous especially, with everybody trying to achieve their own goals while fateing each other to stop people in the lead. Plus there's definitely enough content (especially with Villainous's 3 expansion) for a well lengthen video. Just food for thought

[@zzyxxyzz5442]

I don't know what drafting is. Could someone tell me?

[@zombieplasticclock]

​@@zzyxxyzz5442 I mean there's google. But put simply, it's a competitive format where players take turns opening packs and have to build a deck with the cards they get before playing. So it challenges your ability to both play the game and build a viable-ish deck, even with crummy cards

Mutant is basically what the Digimon TCG is currently doing for their digivolution system, as long as the colors match any digimon can digivolve into any other digimon 1 stage higher than it, but of course getting a "proper" full set digivolution line (ie Agumon to Wargreymon) will give you a better combo rather than random digimons

[@bunbundestroyerofworldslor3512]

You might not be interested how draft works, but if you are I have written what it is and how it works bellow. Drafting is a tcg format where you get together with 4-8 friends open packs, and build decks out of only those packs. It can range from being a really casual to a competitive format depending on the group and location(conventions and gameshops are generally more competitive). Everyone gets 3 Boosterpacks with 15 cards in it and you sit together at a big table. Then everyone opens a booster and picks 1 card that they are going to keep. They then hand the booster (with now 14 Cards in it) clockwise to their neighbor. Then they repeat that untill all the cards of the first boosterpack are gone. The second batch of boosterpacks follow the same process, but the boosters get handed counterclock wise around the table. And the third and final boosters are again handed clockwise around the table. Now you have pool of 45 cards that you drafted that you use to build your 40 card deck. Energy cards (or in magic basic lands) are provided from outside of the boosters and you have an unlimited amount. Now you just shuffle up and play with your friends.

[@alolandugtrios]

thanks for making this video! i had no clue this kind of thing existed and i like to play the card game with my old gen 3 decks that are still assembled, but always thought how cool it would be to mix things up across all sets of cards. glad to know i actually have options i wasn't aware of.

[@SuperCaleb283]

I made a Little Cube (like the video game's Little Cup) where you only play with Basic Pokemon that have a base HP of 90 or below. Because of the lower health pools and damage outputs, super effective attacks are way more powerful which makes type advantage more relevant. Because I also set up an Energy Battery mechanic (energy is per Trainer, not per Pokemon), it's a lot easier to have cool multitype decks. Everyone who's tried it really enjoyed it, and I'm super proud of it!

[@Xanatu]

Oh look there's my left arm making a cameo at 3:57 :D

[@RocketJo86]

I actually like drafts more than normal booster formats. You got far more control over the cards you get and thus make it easier to come up with a functional deck and strategy. But you have to think outside of the normal competitive way to do it to the fullest, especially in Pokémon (and especially if you don'T play mutant). I got lots of my best placements in Pokemon TCG from draft tournaments. The only big roblem is when you open your last booster, spot a rare card and have to think of keeping that card for your collection (or as an investment) or choose one more common option to fit your deck and strategy *lol*

[@greengaleproductions]

Mutant kinda reminds me of the new Digimon TCG. It has the same mechanic if digivolving to the next stage, but just as long as the next stage is the same color as the Digimon you have.

[@astlance]

There's actually another form of drafting, which my boyfriend and Icame up with on a whim to fix some of the issue with drafting in Pokemon. Basically, we came up with a discard system for our draft. We started with 12 boosters that we open all at once, and then we allowed each other to discard 15 cards as many times as we want in order to open another pack. This gives an initial look at what you have to work with, and lets you early on figure out what element, pokemon lines, etc you want to base your strategy around. We keep thinning the card pool until we don't feel like we can anymore, then build a deck pulling from an infinite energy pool. It requires a lot of packs if you do it in person, but on tabletop it works perfectly. It's up to you what cards are worth keeping, and which ones can go. The key thing here is your discard amount needs to be over 10/11 cards so you can't do it infinitely, and you need an initial amount of packs that is fairly sizable so you can safely discard a few times.

[@DigiBrad]

The mutant thing is pretty much how the new Digimon tcg handles evolution, hope to see a video from you about it one day!

My friends and I actually built a cube about two years ago, using no Exs/GXs/Vs are including a whole bunch of our favorite cards. Easily the most fun I've had playing the Pokemon TCG!

[@DualSwordBesken]

One of the most fun limited formats I have played in a long time was Magic's JumpStart format. That is something I think Pokemon should try as a product as well. For those unfamiliar, JumpStart was a set where rather that packs being mostly randomized, they were all themed and had small variations among the same themes, but which theme you got was a secret. So each player takes 2 packs (each pack being 20 cards including lands, Magic's equivalent to energy) and puts them together, and that is their deck to play with. While not as strategic as normal drafting, it could easily solve the evolution issue that this video discussed at the start.

[@LINX009XBL]

This is a good idea and you could even have to where it can be 3 packs of the 20 to make a 60 card deck like normal for Pokémon but the prizes would be 2 per pack used to make your deck

[@DragonOfDrakness1992]

MY favorite card game lately is Keyforge, because it basically drafting in its core. You can only buy decks and each deck is randomized to make it unique, so you don't really know what you have your hands on until you try to play with it, which makes it insanely fun to try out new decks or play the "Sealed" format.

[@carlostejeda4341]

You literally turned pokemon into digimon XD. Evolution wise i mean.

[@ViewtifulDarnell]

I'm gonna do a variant of Cube Drafting with my bulk cards from boosters I've been opening. Gonna add a rule that you roll dice to determine which Energy Types you get for the tournament and from there you'd get your cube of Pokemon for that specified typing. Normal and Dragon type Pokemon and Trainer cards would be in community cube piles. I like the dice roll to pick what type you use to sort of limit and force players to maybe approach things in a way they wouldn't normally.

[@RemedialClass]

@theJWittz "Cube" Drafting was originally based on the total card count of the pool, which happened to be the sum of the combined angles of a cube.

[@DrDrao]

I came up with a cube draft format with my friends a while ago. We lined up 200 Pokemon 60 trainers and 40 supporters. The Pokemon had hps between 70-100, and the gold standard damage of 20+15 per energy required, ie 30 for 1, 50 for 2 or 60 for 3. They were also treated as basics even if they wouldn't normally be. Drafted Pokemon, trainers, and supporters seperately, and treated Pokemon as both Pokemon and energy. A grass Pokemon, for example can also be attached as grass energy. Similarly, energy search doubles as Pokemon search, and vice versa, giving a good amount of consistency despite our lacking trainer lineups. I have had more fun in this draft format than I've ever had playing the real game.

[@Kittykattarina]

VARIANT DECK builds I use with my kids to make use of all the extra pokemon cards not usable in normal decks. "TRASH DECK" good for mixing cards you want to play but might not have enough of that type to make a full deck 1. no V EX GX or special 2. All cards use all energy but need the same amount for attacks (So basically no elements) 3. last rule is 3 rules but you pick one to use. A. no evolution. All cards act as basic B. you use evolution but energy acts as rare candy to skip a stage (must have final form) C. Use stage 1 cards as basics.

[@Kittykattarina]

"CUTIE DECK" 1. No V EX GX or special 2. any element usable for any card 3. no repeats, 1 of each pokemon 4. only basics with under 70 hp. 5. no trainer cards (or just draw 3 cards) like Hop. Just a straight, adorable, grudge match. Not a lot of strategy but still fun!

[@Kittykattarina]

"ONE PILE" good for siblings 1. NO V EX GX special 2. All cards use Any energy 3. final stage pokemon only (or stage 1, or basic, just pick 1 type, w/e you have more of) 4. 120 (or less for shorter games) card deck. you both draw from same pile I set these decks up for my kids so they cant complain about one having "better cards" Also it gives them a chance to use cards of pokemon they like but are not very good.

[@theotherfanboy]

I have my own pauper cube in MTG and I find that by far, it's the most interesting way to play Magic. Cube in Pokemon seems really difficult to assemble. Cubes are REALLY difficult to balance and it takes a lot of practice and play to figure out what you need to take out and what your cube needs. Mutant seems like a fun way to pack draft and probably the way I'd try to play draft with Pokemon.

[@GreenGearStudio]

For those who want to play cube but only got 1 other person to play with, may I introduce you to: Pancake draft Pack size - 11 cards Number of packs per player - 9 Final deck size - 45 cards How to play: Both players take their pack and choses a card. Afterwards, they pass the cards to their opponent. Take the 10 cards gotten from your opponent and take 2 cards to add them to your pile. Before passing the stack, choose 2 cards to discard in a communal discard pile. Pass the remaining cards. Take the last 6 cards and grab 2, discarding the rest. Repeat for all the packs. Why this works: The big one is information. With most 2 player formats, the cards are played open. Here, they remain hidden. Even so, you can hate draft by discarding cards you feel your opponent might want, making the gameplay a bit more dynamic. Decks tend to be more focused too. The fact you only get 5/11 cards instead of the whole pack means that you are much less likely to grab dud cards that just don't work with your current strategy.

One idea I have is have 1 drafts. 1 with Pokémon. 2 With any none Pokémon card, like Trainers, or Double colourless energy and stuff like that. Along with the unlimited normal energy. Then each player gets a set number of cards from each so you have the same number of Pokémon and trainers.

My friend and I used to play Pokemon in the Highlander variant from Magic. 100 card deck, Singleton, and any card from throughout the game's history. Cards obviously use newest errata, so Bill is a Supporter, and cards like Itemfinder are Ace Spec. You get some really cool interactions with evolution lines and with the amount of powerful draw and search you have access to it is pretty easy to have consistency. Think about all the Oak effects that have been printed (and you can use them all since they have different names). You get to play cool cards like Challenge! too.

Fun fact from a Pokémon Professor, Pokémon does actually have a bit of an official drafting format through Pre-Releases. I used to run them at my work Pre-Covid. You'd get a build and battle box with 3-4 Booster packs of the latest expansion along with an evolution pack from the expansion, and infinite energy all 2 weeks before the expansion was released. You play with 4 Prize cards, and I managed to win one once by knocking out a tag team with Arceus Dialga Palkia tt, and drawing all 4 prizes immediately.

I always figured the Build and Battle boxes were the PTCG's equivalent to drafting. You get a few playable lines from a medium sized pool, some staple trainers, and then a few boosters that could augment it. I know it's not the same as they're technically framed as prerelease tournaments but still, I've done some and they're pretty playable, if not as inherently exciting as proper drafts.
