AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Sign ups are now closed. Since I have 6 people, if Tammerath ends up wanting to join, he can. Apparently he hasn't even read the PM I've sent him, so...

I will be PMing you all code cards very shortly. But first, I'd like to consolidate all of the information for you guys. watch this post for an update.

EDIT: Also, I guess it's a good thing we only have 6 people right now. It turns out the code cards, as of Plasma Storm, only unlock the set they're from, and I only have 42 codes from PS. Earlier codes will only work for earlier sets. Whoops. If Tammerath joins, we'll have the perfect amount of codes for all of the players.

My bad.

Anyways...

Rules:

1. You will be given 6 booster packs from Plasma Storm to build a legal 40 card deck. These Boosters will be digital and opened on PTCGO (which you will need to download unfortunately). If you are unable or unwilling to use PTCGO for any reason, I or a third party not involved with this tournament may open the packs for you and tell you the contents.

2. You may ONLY use the contents of those 6 booster packs and as many basic energy of any type as you want.

3. No trading will be allowed between players OR ANYONE ON PTCGO to alter their decks. The point of a draft is to have 6 packs worth of random cards to work with. You may not get a full evolutionary line, but that's okay. After the tournament is over, you can trade to your heart's content.

Or really, you can trade now, but only your original cards count. Please don't try to abuse this as a loophole for changing your cards.

4. You will have a maximum of 1 week to build your deck. If everyone is ready before then, we'll start early. Do not feel pressured to finish deck building even if other people are done. If you need help building a deck out of your cards, you can PM me or contact me on Skype. My username on there is Tamat2009. Just let me know who you are when you send a contact request because I keep getting invites from french ladies or something.

5. Decks will be built on [url=bebessearch.com/]Bebe's Search[/url], and matches will be conducted on PlayTCG (same login as Bebe's Search). If you have problems with either of these sites, please let me know.

6. When building a deck, you will include 20 "dummy" cards. This will give you a total of 60 cards so you can trick PlayTCG into letting you play with that deck as it will be "legal". These will probably be Basic energy cards of a type you won't need. They will be put into the discard before each match. This rule no longer applies because 40 card decks are legal on PlayTCG.

7. Games will be played with 4 prize cards and no additional rules. We will determine by vote whether you guys want best of 3 matches or not. They will be swiss rounds, meaning all players will play all of the games. So even if you lose, don't fret. You're not kicked out.

How to redeem codes and open packs:

When you load up PTCGO, you want to go to the shop



then, click the tab that says "redeem codes". You can enter them in caps or lowercase. It doesn't matter. They will confirm whether they've been used or not. All of the codes I provide are brand new, but oddities can occur.



When you've entered all of the codes, click the X's on the side to check that you want to redeem them, then click redeem.



It'll pop up messages telling you that they're redeemed, and since these are Plasma Storm codes, you should get the booster packs straight away. If that doesn't happen, let me know.

Now, to open the packs, you need to get to your collection.



When you're in your collection, go to packs.



You should see your packs in there (in my case, I got Boundaries Crossed, so don't freak out if they're different). Select your packs, and then open them.

Now, you need a way to keep track of the cards you get. You can either write them all down at once, or do screenshots. In this case, these are the cards I got:













If you have no other cards from this set in your collection, you can also find them easily for making a list by going to your cards in the collection (hit the tab called "cards" it should be next to "packs") and filtering for the set. You'll get something like this:



If you organize the cards by set order, it'll be easier to see which evolutionary lines are usable. Keep in mind, if you have evolutions, but not the earlier forms, those cards can't be played. In my case, I have an Azumarill and a Wartortle, but no Squirtle or Marill.

From this, build your decks. Right now, I'm not going to require you to send me the results of what you pull, but if you want help with a deck, it'd be good for you to have it ready for me. You can also ask me whether I think you pulled good cards or not, if you really want to.

Also, it's in your best interest to not tell people what you have. You don't want them to have an edge in what to play. However, it's entirely up to you whether you want to let them know that you got an awesome card or something. Just don't be a jerk about it.

With that, PMs will be out shortly with codes. You have a week to build a deck. Good luck on your pulls.

So the only cards we can use are Plasma storm cards?

anyone up for some practice battles on tcgo tommorow?

I thought me being signed up was a given >_>

Anyway


Let's do this thing

Question: Do I want to be able to purchase gems
What do they do

I'm awful at this game!

So I just bought a couple of real-life boosters. The haul:

Combee
Joltik x2
Clefairy
Vanillite x2
Magnemite
Conkeldurr (reverse holofoil)
Team Plasma Giratina
Plasma Energy (colorless)
Donphan
Bicycle
Sewaddle
Timburr
Riolu
Golbat (reverse holofoil)
Team Plasma Infernape (holofoil)
Team Plasma Watchog
Escape Rope
Elgyem


Not a bad take IMO, was surprised at the Giratina; I now have both types of Riolu, and Conkeldurrs out my booty

My in-game name is the same as here, add me if you'd like to battle!

Already answered this for you on Skype, but for the rest of you...

The only cards you can use are cards from your booster packs that you pulled. This includes Pokemon, Trainers, and Special Energy cards. That are all Plasma Storm cards. Make sure you guys don't do trades either.



I wanted confirmation just in case you changed your mind since you wanted a different set and I didn't know if you'd have the time. Luckily we had a space for you, so no worries. Sent you your codes.



Right now, I don't think Gems are implemented. When they are, they'll be used as currency via microtransactions to buy more booster packs without buying physical boosters to get them (or using second hand markets to get code cards). They might also be given away in PTCGO official tournaments as prizes, whenever tournaments are implemented.

Anyways, the last of the codes are out to everyone now. Remember, if you need to talk to me in private, you can get ahold of me on Skype under Tamat2009. Good luck guys!

So after denying the offer of joining Kamaks tournament, I chose to check out the Cockfighting Society TCG Online, and after a bit of screwing around on Cockfighting Society.com, I finally re-downloaded it after a good 10 minutes of waiting for it to actually load the installer, my first thing to check was my cards, I didn't find anything that appealed to me other than my full Togekiss line, so I chose to use one of the games stock decks.

Starting up, I chose to fight Zach, the first AI opponent, he had a rather basic deck full of Grass energies and normal/technically flying types.

I started up and set things up, wanna know what happened?

He pretty much kicked my booty.

He immediately set up Chansey, fucking Chansey, that thing had 90 HP, and an attack that could easily heal it, he put it up way before I could put anything decent up, even my Crocanaw couldn't beat him, so I forfeited and tried again.

This time however, I got lucky, he didn't have Chansey, so he couldn't do much, meanwhile, I set up a few eevee's and with the 4 Energy cards in my deck, and sent out Totodile. He sent out starley, and we began to set up energy. However, soon after a little marathon of my Horsea fighting his starley(I retreated Totodile to evolve it into Crocanaw), I had then realized he bodaciously had Chansey on his fucking bench, and was feeding it energy cards. I was scared, once his Starly was gone, the shit was gonna hit the fan.

Then the best thing ever happened.

Feraligatr.

I was so god daisies pop flyin' to see Feraligatr show up in my deck, I checked his attacks and saw Surf, which dealt a whopping 80 damage with no downsides. I fitted two more energies onto Feraligatr, and then my Seadra was knocked out. (I evolved it to buy more time.)

I then took a risky choice and sent out Eeevee, I put an energy on it then used uh...crap, I think it was energy swap, all I know is that it took an energy off of Feraligatr to help Eeevee out there. Eevee and Chansey dueled, and after that, it fucking healed from its attack, I attacked again, Eeevee went down, but I had put an energy on Feraligatr.

And Surf absolutely DESTROYED him. Even his 80 HP Doduo didn't survive so it could pull a quick attack, I knocked out the bulk of his deck, and afterwards, I KO'd every last Cockfighting Society of his.

Now THAT was fucking satisfying.


Now this was a very gimped version, I don't remember the specifics exactly, but it was a hell of a lot of fun. I'm gonna try and see if I can base a deck on a hard-hitter that can get out easily, more or less, my Articuno EX.

Shit's going down.

Uuuuugh just pulled my cards and I have so many cool evolutions but no basic Pokemon to go with them. When this is over I'm so gonna build an awesome deck.

I do have some fun usable ones though, now to pick the ones that will work the best...

YOU ALL HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN TO YOU


But anyway


I like the way my deck is setting up

Just confirmed with playing against Tammerath, but it's possible to have an illegal deck on PlayTCG.

This means, good news, you can have a 40 card deck and don't have to worry about dummy cards anymore!

I guess my luck in the exalted prerelease dried up all my luck.
No EXs, cards spread across each type, and very few evolution lines.
If I win, I will be very disappoint.

At least you didn't do what I did and:

A) Trade

B) bomb the fuck out of that trade
