why does every deck I want to build paper use Hero's Cape 🥲

This is the build I've been playing with. Not 100% sold on it (though never complaining about a reason to use regular Fez), but it's been great fun. The [Clefairy / Fez / Crispin / 1 P / 1 D] block I know is there for Pult, but it's deeply lackluster (thus far, IME) against everything else.

I'm not thrilled with the current direction of Sharpedo... I have I think five or six open card slots, but I'm not sure what I want to do with them. I also think I'm a touch high on monster count, but since I don't want to add more supporters, it'll need to be items coming in. Dusk Balls maybe?

HIJ would be a much cooler and wider format if not for Dragapult specifically. I know some players like them, but (imo) gatekeeper tier 1s aren't great for TCGs.

Bam @bammaxtcg.bsky.social · 29/05/2026
the speed at which pokemon card sellers ship is hard countered by that they package cards the way a five year old wraps a present: badly and in a way that will likely damage the contents.

Precious Trolley feels like too much of a win button to not play with Steven's Metagross.

Bam @bammaxtcg.bsky.social · 07/05/2026
think I need to modify my Lucario build a bit, and then get to work on finishing Sharpedo and Steven's Metagross.

Bam @bammaxtcg.bsky.social · 01/05/2026
there's gotta be a way to really crack Steven's Metagross open. the energy acceleration is SUPER strong, and there are some really strong individual Psychic and Metal Pokemon right now, but it's not quite gas yet, you know?

every time I play Mega Lucario, I think I'm gonna get a little bored (just because it plays pretty straightforwardly)... but then I play Hariyama and it's instant dopamine

Psychic seems like it's in a pretty good place right now. Lillie's Clefable, Latias, Munkidori, Diancie, TR's Mewtwo, Hop's Trevenant, etc. type well against most of the top.

Bam @bammaxtcg.bsky.social · 08/04/2026
Is it strange of me to say that I don't think a Pokemon deck can be top-tier right now if it can't either 1) damage/knock out multiple Pokemon per turn, or 2) always be in control of what they're knocking out. Does that make any sense?

Mega Lucario, Mega Venusaur, and Dragapult decks coming along swimmingly 👀

what I would give for some theory about Supporter ratios, that's very easily the thing I feel most uncomfortable with in the PTCG.

It's really jarring how different Pokémon TCG youtube content is from Yugioh. 1) Few non-live replays because PTCGL doesn't have a replay system. 2) Deck lists are digital card lists/icons with quantities on them. 3) Damn does it feel more positive.

ngl it's really bizarre that PTCGL doesn't have a replay system

Bam @bammaxtcg.bsky.social · 20/03/2026
I have decks started for Mega Sharpedo and Mega Lucario that I'm certain I want to finish, plus a deck started for Mega Heracross (that may or may not become Mega Venusaur?). Also looking at some kind of Dark/Psychic build for Umbreon, Espeon, and Diancie... and one for Alakazam. Help.

Deck comp is definitely my Pokemon weak spot right now, but I think that'll come with time. Ratios, particular trainers, etc. need the familiarity of practice and play.

the best rarities in Yugioh are DUSA ultras, AP/OTS supers, and DT (shatterfoil) rares and ultras. I don't make the rules, that's just what it is.
