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.

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

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.

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

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.

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
