Cheers! Didn’t make it out for Oktoberfest this year sadly despite trying for 2 weekends in a row. Hope you all got a chance for a beer.

Updating some GLC decks. Looking forward to playing some fresh archetypes in my Fire and Dark decks. #Pokemon #GLC

Firstly, annoyed that I had to go onto that other app to snag this screenshot… get on Bluesky or at least share an article to the website so I can link it.

What will we hear? Competitive play timeline for sure - Worlds and season 2. Probably some discussion on bans and some card reveals? #Lorcana

Archazia’s Island release day! Good luck everyone with your pulls. I don’t think I’ll make it out to an LGS today, but might hit up locals for draft on Sunday. #Lorcana #TCG

New #Lorcana set incoming. With the introduction of dual-inks and a few new keywords this has a chance to shake things up. Get you to a LGS and check it out. Great time to get into the game if you’re new as game stores often hold new-player focused release events when sets drop.

Without a ton of playable staples next set (at least not in inks I care to play) I was planning to hold back on opening sealed product… until these Enchanted reveals started. This art is spectacular and I want all of these so much. #Lorcana

Wait… if I wonder pick from a friend who has non-English cards because their app is set to another language, I get the card in that language? Cool. #ptcgpocket

Ok, the Lucario list is assembled.

Lucario: 75 (+32) cards
Riolu: 58 (+7) cards

172 cards for a full Master Set, plus probably a few oddball stragglers (like Spirit Link).

Excited to get my binder situated and start filling it up.

Recently the availability of new Pokemon product has made me lose some interest in collecting. I’ve decided to start a Lucario (and Riolu) English Master Set. I’m going to avoid online purchases and try to pick up cards casually at LGS locations. I’m excited to start the hunt.

Had fun watching the NA #Lorcana Championships this weekend. Huge congrats to Edmond Chiu on the win.

I’ve never built a viable Steel deck but this card has me interested. What pairs well with a resist package? Probably leaning into sapphire for Hiram draw support. #lorcana

Moana 2 was great. The first film is among my favorite of all time and this sequel had a lot of heart. Loved it. #disney

This card is undoubtedly good for pressure in Am/Ruby but I’m questioning whether it is a play for Am/Emerald. Sir Hiss and Merfolk are already applying aggro pressure and I think the 4-cost slot might be better served with threats like GoGo.

Reply w/ 4 Lorcana cards:
1) A card you love to play
2) A card you love to hate
3) A card people associate w/ you
4) A card w/ art you love

Excited to see if any new meta decks rise from Azurite Sea dropping. Doubtful, but I think the new Simba legendary has potential to break through and be a cornerstone in some new archetype. #lorcana
