Oh, the slap fights I'd have with my sister about whether Double Colorless counts as both discards for Fire Spin.

Do most serious games between people get decided based on prizes or the lack of an eligible Pokemon?

I just remembered my one and only time playing the TCG with cards. I used the old Mulligan Mewtwo deck in the window when the Mulligan draw was mandatory. Nobody liked me. For those who don't know: There was a time when, if your opening hand had no basic Pokemon, your opponent HAD to draw a card as compensation for you getting to Mulligan. It was mandatory. So you could run a deck with only psychic energy and one copy of Mewtwo. By the time you drew to it, your opponent would have drawn a fair amount of their deck. You could then take advantage of Mewtwo having an attack which prevented all damage next turn in exchange for discarding one energy card, of which you had a million. They changed that rule.

Does anyone remember that TV commercial where the kid calls Electabuzz "arguably the best basic Pokemon in the game"? I don't know why, but that never got unstuck from my head. Maybe it was his hammy delivery. I also enjoy how simple Pokemon cards are. The self-destruction effect doing overkill recoil damage is so straightforward compared to "Knock out this Active Pokemon and send it to the discard pile, and if you do, inflict 80 points of battle damage to the Defending Pokemon."

FoolyCharged posted:loving up the big tier 3 guy with a big retreat cost. Mime literally sits there and takes no damage from them unless your opponent undoes the build up on the dude. I wonder if anyone ever ran a deck that auto lost to Mr. Mime and got away with it because who would expect that. Or does competitive Pokemon have side decks?

DACK FAYDEN posted:It does not. And matches are best of one. Because that's fun. Best of one in a game with coin-flip first turn and in which most players can draw their whole deck in one turn? I guess I don't know what I expected from the franchise that gave us VGC rules.

How did Mystery Mew work as a physical card, did you roll dice for the damage or something?
