joponnes March 9, 2025, 9:14pm 13 I have to say i see no reason to call bandai or other non tcg brands something else than pokemon cards since thats what they are, obviously tcg cards are the most popular ones and when people think of pokemon cards thats probably what they first think of, but to say cards produced by brands like topps, bandai or topsun arent pokemon cards is imo a bit odd thing to say Josh March 9, 2025, 9:24pm 14 If you wanted to simplify things a bit by excluding test prints, prototypes and other cards of potentially questionable authenticity, then the first mass produced, demonstrably authentic, TCG cards were the No Rarity variant Japanese Expansion Pack (Base Set) cards
In fact, Magic knows how to have fun and joke around as much as the next game
Arena Club, Boxed GG, Courtyard, and Topps each shine for a particular kind of collector, but only one is engineered for low-risk Pokemon ripping from the first click
The Goblin Shrine and Quest for the Goblin Lord boost your mob, which is a good base for one of the artifacts in the deck
More land drops = more landfall triggers from cards like Lotus Cobra, Felidar Retreat, and Scute Swarm
By banishing all characters, Be Prepared allows a player to effectively reset the board
