I have no idea why Koga's Ninja Trick saw no competitive play... I won a couple local tournaments with it and it was great. Denying prizes with fossils was AMAZING.
Great team up and novel concept. Gonna do the chores to this one. Ima guess Birthday Pikachu is here. I remember when I used to play Expanded on PTCGO, Wally/Forest of Giant Plants were recent restrictions at the time.
I started playing in the GX era, and I remember that the only banned cards I knew of were Wally and Lysandre's Trump Card. I found it fascinating how important the words written on the card were in Wally's case, and for Lysandre I was kinda just surprised they let that happen
Do you think Forest of Giant Plants will still be an issue if there were other stadiums for other energy types? I think it could turn into maintaining stadium control for faster evolutions
imo part of the reason they axed fogp is because with it in format, it prevents them from printing really good grass evolving mons (or mons that evolve from grass basics like item lock trevenant) in future sets. we would probably never see another card like vileplume or decidueye GX, which i think would be a shame. and even if they reprinted broken timespace, it would run into the same issue-- once it rotated, standard would have years' worth of weak evolution cards that were designed with it in mind.
Great list. Some obvious and frequently talked about ones. But happy to see some new/unheard of ones there. Also, the Wormadam artwork is different(the flowers).
@@BurtsPTCG Right I see. I just read the sequence of events on Pojo's blog. Now I see how dumb it can be. Sun and Moon I skipped out on so never saw this combo.
That professor's cup ruling is fcking dumb... banning a common card because it had a rare printing. So stupid. Mtg has a format where only common cards are allowed, no uncommons, rares, or mythics and the only thing that matters is if the card was ever printed in a common rarity. If a card was printed at mythic rare originally then recieved a common reprint, doesn't matter, it's still legal.
@BurtsPTCG it's up there, it's called Pauper. It's not just a fan format either, it is an official format. Mtg does actual reprinting of cards though, from my understanding pokemon doesnt straight reprint the same exact card down the line, it always seems to be tweaked in some way.
No one ever believed me when I actually played Birthday Pikachu on my birthday 😔 Also about Misty's Tears, isn't she underage? This one is just creepy.
Ok I got Birthday Pikachu wrong my bad! 👀🎂
So essentially a no banlist expanded format tournament would be the most wild and unfun games imaginable.
The coin flip would be VERY important 🤣
With no ban list shiftry would be best deck in format especially since you could replace super scoop up with scoop up net for guaranteed pick ups
@@BurtsPTCGits only important when you don't start Sableye

I was surprised when I was looking it up cause its definitely a useful effect 😭
Love the new thumbnail
Got a few different ones lined up on some ab testing 👀
Tbh the replacement Sabrina art looks way better. Going from a weird fingertip grip to nice perspective arm out
Yeah that's an example of it being much better!
Birthday Pikachu either does 30 or 80 it doen't do 60 if you get tails...
My bad! 🙏
Great team up and novel concept.
Gonna do the chores to this one.

Appreciate the support! And they all feature! :p

The Pokemon card designers just don't learn their lesson with printing cards that mess with people's hands huh...
Haha i know! When I was writing the script I was like "bit of a theme going on here" 🤣
19:22 click this link for tropical beach. Do you want more of these time stamps?

Like a broken time space reprint?

Great video, love learning about a card game I've never played before lol. Also I noticed the hotline miami soundtrack around the 17:30 mark.
Ayo thank you for the support! You should start playing ;) and yeah top soundtrack 👌
@ Well I started playing Pocket TCG recently and it really convinced me to pull out all the cards I still have and start using them
Great list. Some obvious and frequently talked about ones. But happy to see some new/unheard of ones there.
Also, the Wormadam artwork is different(the flowers).
Yeah quick a few I haven't heard covered before which is why I made 5he video! And yeah artwork is different but funtionally the card is the same :p
Island Challenge Amulet is damage from a Attack though? Even if you attach it to a Jirachu, it doesn't go into effect does it?
No it doesn't, so you ko two Jirachis, mysterious message into stamp Mars combo 🙏
@@BurtsPTCG Right I see. I just read the sequence of events on Pojo's blog. Now I see how dumb it can be. Sun and Moon I skipped out on so never saw this combo.
Archeops didnt come from Next Destinies. Put some respect on Noble Victories!
Haha whoopsie my bad 👀🤣
Loving the music!!
Appreciate it! 👌🙏
You misread birthday pikachu's coin flip effect: 30 flat damage, not 30 more damage.
Yeah people have pointed that out haha 😂 50% chance for two for 80 is still rad tho
Dang tropical beach is banned in expanded format? 😊
3 energy for 40 power is wild
Crazy times 🤣
yo looks like im second! I love your videos! playing pokemon brings me so much joy and i love watching your videos!
Thank you so much! Your too kind 😭🙏

Is that format popular? 👀

Also about Misty's Tears, isn't she underage? This one is just creepy.
I know right! That was the problem 😭 and I never even considered that 😭
@@BurtsPTCG I mean if she was of age it would still be weird as fuck to put nudity in a kids card game.
Would Budew be banned in GLC do you think?
That is a very good question actually! Slots right into grass. I would think probably not cause of the HP but excited to see how it pans out 👀
Yep. I’d personally choose to ban it because it would make any Vileplume based deck even more difficult to play around, but hey, we will see
got multiple copies of the censored cards and most of the banned haha
Oh fair enough :p I tried to get as many in as possible but some are very expensive 😅😭
Hey Shai you casting at Birmingham Regional?
I am definitely attending! 💪
Nice. I’m thinking about going, will need to think about it.
Greetings
Hi!
