Gyarados is my favorite Pokemon but we can’t pretend that it didn’t have the 2 different full-art cards in ancient origins, a full art secret rare from breakpoint, and a million prerelease variants. That being said, he’s got a point lol

This kid has had ENOUGH of the Gyarados disrespect 😭😂 Gyarados STILL doesn't have a physical Special Illustration Rare despite being around since Base Set, and he's not having it. 🎥 IG/williams.world7

If any Rika cosplayers at the Louisville Pokemon Regional want to punch me in the jaw as hard as they can this weekend, you don't have to ask permission just do it

Is it just me or are Master sets overrated? You’re spending hundreds… sometimes thousands… buying cards you may not even like just so you can say you completed the checklist? Idkkkkk man.

⚠️ Update: it's getting worse The Standard season started last weekend. For the first time in the province of Quebec, not a single store has scheduled a Standard RCQ, aside from the Regional Championship tournament organizer, Face to Face, on September 20th. The Standard RCQ location is definitely problematic, but with the poor promos, there’s also very little incentive for stores to run RCQs. Three years ago, before a season even started, we would already have 20–30 RCQs scheduled. FYI, we even had a season with over 60 RCQs. I want to play. I just can’t. The system simply isn’t working right now. What are you waiting for @PlayMTG?

I’m very excited about this update. But let’s be honest, it never should’ve taken this long to get Pioneer back, or even left in the first place. Pioneer players: please attend these events. If we don’t, they likely drop the format for good this time.

Pioneer? In 2027? More likely than you'd think! WeeklyMTG teased some RCQ info to look forward to. Be sure to keep an eye out for official announcements in the future 📜

Went 3-1 at the local win-a-box tonight, only loss being to Mega Venusaur with an unplayable hand. The deck felt great overall, big fan of the 1-of Air Balloon!

Don’t buy the new 30th Anniversary shirts from Pokemon Center! I followed the cleaning instructions posted online and the shirts I bought are ruined after the first wash! I contacted customer support days ago and I haven’t received a response. @PokemonCenterUS do better!

Our second show of 2027 takes us somewhere brand new for MagicCon. We're headed to Japan as MagicCon Tokyo kicks off May 14th-16th! You may also see an Unannounced Universes Beyond set on the timeline. More details are coming at a later date, but that set will release April 9th.
