This is the video I wished I had watched when my wife and I got back into PTCG a few months ago! We love playing the game and finding an affordable way to be competitive is such a great resource.

My daughter has recently got into it and I've dug up all my 20+ year old cards to show her. This vid has been super useful thanks! She bought her first booster the other day and ofc pulled the new Incineroar Full Art 😂 beginners luck...

[synchrohunter]

This is excellent information. I’ll definitely link this to newer players. Thank you for this resource!

I was this close to get a Mew Vmax league battle deck to start. Good to know that the core cards will rotate.

Trying to explain this whole thing is a big tricky, especially to impatient or tired minds. Thank you for compiling everything I wanted to say in an easy to digest format!
I also want to say Miraidon ex with Squawkabilly ex is also fairly straightforward and easy to learn, as somebody who recently played and been recommended the exact 2 products as in the video!

My 10 year old nephew showed an interest in this game and we started playing together and now I'm hooked too. Thanks for the guide. I play a lot of Magic the Gathering and pokemon seems a LOT easier to get into.

Definitely going to pick up that Miraidon League Battle Deck. Miraidon is super fun to play and getting it easily is great.

Thank you very much for the video. Although I still collected, I have not played the game against another person in over 20 years. I finally decided to get out of my house and go to a LGS last month, and came in second last weekend in a tournament (I made one mistake and it cost me). I needed the rotation times and set info in this video to beat that kid!

[dylancuber]

I need this. I played in Pokémon TCG and VGC tournaments and was quite good however when my local and fav shop closed I went off it as it was my mourning period but now I’m ready to be back and better than ever!!

[paulduro]

Seriously was super hard to find out which sets were in rotation, when I started back 2 months ago. You like can’t see the letters on the corners just from the names so that’s nice you put it in there

[tylertheriot]

I’m so happy you made the park of what sets to buy. I was going to buy a bunch of codes and didn’t really know what codes to buy for Pokemon online

Also, for anyone that's new or returning after many years, it's definitely a good idea to check out the Gym Leader Challenge format as well.

While the PTCG itself is great, the current format and state of the game may not appeal to everyone.

[boxcarairwaves]

Nice stuff I personally love tcg live it's been better over last few months. Good info here.

[alexnas]

from what i heard it might be Febuary or march we get rotation, we are supposed to be more aligned with japans releases now and they get thier rotation on late jan 2024

[noblejustice]

Very informative video. Very rare a see pokemon content creators due this. More please.

[trailerguy]

Is there a battle deck that has most of what is needed for a lost box deck?

[Nagoto]

Which site did you use to make the deck lists? Where it has the proxy option? My buddy and I are moving from MTG over to Pokemon and your videos are amazing!

[guillaumecloutier]

(Third lmao) Love this video! So informative for new players and a good refresh for players like me that only started playing seriously for a short amount of time!
Great stuff!
