    The League Battle decks are what got me back into the game. Started with Mew VMax and now rocking Miraidon, looking forward to Charizard one soon. So good for the game that you can walk in the store and buy a nearly competitive level deck.

    THANK YOU, we have been spinning our wheels trying to figure out how to begin playing and it's surprisingly hard to find beginner/casual play info and guidance. Especially which kind of cards to buy. Thank you!

    Thank you for this video. Im just getting into Pokemon and most videos are about collecting and not starting to just play. This really helped.

    I remember when I was 13 I bought a premade battle deck (Rising Rivals Cutting Edge) but I never played TCG before, so I never knew it was meant for gameplay. I only got it because it had my favorite Pokemon Gallade (Gallade E4 to be specific).<br><br>It wasn’t until like last week when I finally got to (casually) play with that deck against my girlfriend. Felt weird having a 2009 deck against a 2023/24 deck lmao

    I&apos;m coming from both Magic and Yugioh to downsize to something simpler with some slower gameplay. I tried the Charizard EX deck on TCG Live, and ended up buying it in paper. It did not disappoint!

    I bought the Miraidon deck and it&apos;s an absolute god send. The only struggle I now have is getting all the trainer cards needed

    <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IO75bvR_pos&amp;t=815">13:35</a> For the collectors: Code Cards <b>NEVER</b> expire! While you cannot play with any cards older than Sun&amp;Moon Base in TCG Live (in expanded format, of course), you can still collect them, going all the way back to the game&apos;s introduction in Black &amp; White!

    Great video, thanks for the breakdown! &nbsp;I&apos;m a super old school player from the Machamp/Squirtle starter deck era, stopped right around the original Team Rocket set. &nbsp;My cousin and I never played competitive. I did find enjoyment of building decks. &nbsp;I still remember the insane luck of my uncle gifting me 4 packs of Base Set 2 for my birthday and pulling two foil Charizards and a Blastoise out of them! &nbsp;Then I tried to build a deck around there. &nbsp;Never went super competitive with it as eventually family drama led to a fallout with my cousin and I. &nbsp;We are not back on talking terms it has been fun catching up. &nbsp;<br><br>​Part of me wants to get back in but the modern era feels kinda overwhelming with all the scalpers and flippers draining the fun out of it. &nbsp;Not trying to toss shade. &nbsp; Every now and then I would buy some packs for old times sake. &nbsp;<br><br>I&apos;m mostly a Pokemon GO player now, but your video makes me want to dip my toes back into the card game. Think I&apos;ll start by checking out a local card shop to see the vibe and keep watching videos to relearn the ropes. &nbsp;Maybe I can rope my wife into playing one of those simpler decks with me and learn together. &nbsp;Lol. &nbsp;<br><br> Appreciate the guide man!

    Always learn so much from your videos. &nbsp;Thanks again!

    I’m so happy I watched this. I’m just now getting back into Pokémon after 20 years of being away from it. I just went to a local card shop and bought the latest battle academy with three decks to relearn how to play and then I bought the new charizard ex deck and I’m in love with it 💖🙏💖.
