Every player should come with 3 decks like at hearthstone for example. Then each player one of the opponent deck, and then they are playing BO3, where player have to change deck if he win one game.
In the other card game broadcasts I watch they show both player’s hands and I kinda like that, obviously speculating is also fun but I think it’s better if we can think and talk about both player‘s hands & plays
no it is possible, hearthstone also does a multi stream layer, and thats the same they had to do.. its just not that easy because every player ran the game in another solution / Size etc.. maybe in the future
You can easily just have a small window in your broadcast where it shows the opponents cards, doesn’t have to be a full permanent view of the opponents gameplay

Loved the coop, you both are my favorite Pokemon content creators, keep up the good work.
Great tournament! Btw on that last game, Raven couldn't have played the Koga combo after he played Sabrina to bring Venusaur in. It's very easy to make that mistake cause in other card games there is no limit on how many cards you use from your hand. The one supporter per turn limit makes this a bit more difficult to line up combos - seems balanced enough though.
@@Navue-cn2tx every card/rng game also including magic and Warhammer all have luck built into the game. The complexity and skill comes in planning around the luck in order to win. This is how a deck can win against another deck that has a type advantage over it. Obviously a turn 0 7 heads Misty on Articuno EX just cheeses a win, but a majority of games aren’t actually like that, and as the game progresses more cards will be added and most likely less coin flips will be included in decks.
2:57:38 my heart broke. Such an unfortunate miss click. In all honesty, Wiggly suprised me. I thought this card was on par with arcanine, but now I kinda want to play it 😂
@ every says subbing in wiggly early was a misplace but I don’t think so, they aren’t letting me knock out vena for free with Erika and x speed. I just wanted to confirm the knock out bc the match up is super unfavored for me
Thanks for streaming and commentating it, only thing I didn’t like was how many matches we missed/joined as it ended on the stream. Matches are short enough that more if not all could be shown particularly in later rounds
Thank you so much for the guide. Happy I have the cards for a poison deck to counter all those dang Mewtwo meta users out there. Love the control the deck gives too with Sabrinas in it :D
Can someone explain to me why the person going first doesn’t get an energy? It doesn’t make sense to me why the person going second should get one but not whoever goes first. Am I missing something? Feels like person who goes second has a huge advantage
Bc whoever goes first is able to use supporter cards right away, and if youve ever seen a lapras/articuno deck that got lucky with a misty support on turn 1, youd understand why cards are more important than energy earlier on
There are several basic and evolved Pokémon that can do some pretty good damage for only one energy. And with player one being able to evolve their Pokémon first, it'll give an even BIGGER advantage to them than player two has right now if they were allowed to attach on their first turn. It's a decent trade off.
The Red card wouldve helped Raven as he was able to stay around 2 cards however, he did have both Sabrinas in his hand for most that. Without knowing that, its hard to red card there.
Such a fun event to watch for what has quickly become my favorite game! Thanks Jake. Question: is there a website you post deck lists and tournament information to?
2:26:33 instead of conceding couldnt jeff use sabrina, water shuriken the weezing, retreat into frogadier and attack weezing for 30hp. Next round the now 80hp weezing gas leaks and attacks the frogadier for a combined 40hp leaving 40hp. Finally, to win the match jeff evolves into greninja, shurikens the 80hp weezing and attacks to knock it out, winning the match. Am i missing something?
Great tourney guys, awesome casting. Would be cool to see a Swiss stage or double elim in future tournaments - always sad to see someone go out first round on a brick or some rough draws or coin flips and not have a chance to recover.
Tournament was pretty fun to watch. But i do think its way too early for a tournament. Not enough variety of decks and basically a free for all. It was mostly like if you get a good hand gg. For the next tournament there definitely need to be some bans for certain teams.
Idk why everyone is doomposting about the games complexity. We're still in the first set. They have time to guage power and balance. They can also add more support for multityped decks and even create direct counters to the meta. We are in the first meta, maybe next set will have a focus on status or bench damage, we will just have to wait and see. Also, personal opinion. Yu-Gi-Oh is not superior. MTG is.
I totally do respect your opinion but all I’d like to say is my cyber dragon infinity is gonna have words with your Atraxa. Most of theirs are gonna be ouch. (Kidding of course all card games are valid lol)
@a-lex578 EW. ATRAXA!?!? You think I'm some weak willed SLIVER ENJOYER!?!?! My handful of counterspells, board wipes, card draw, and stax pieces have something to say about YOUR FUN. 😏 (Jk ❤️)
Lmao can you tell I’ve only ever played commander looks like my inadequate Magic knowledge is showing lol. Besides it’s not like cyber dragon is even a good deck either it was a rogue option in like 2019 so I’m probably dusted either way.
@a-lex578 Haha, I'm a total MTG junkie. I don't know much about the other card games. All I know is that MTG is fun as hell to play, and I have made WAY too many EDH and 60 card decks, too.
As more cards come in I hope it changes the game to be a little more like the original. Cuz right now it’s all about going 2nd with the right hand. Mainly just being lucky
Posting before I watched any of the matches... but I run not-EX Lapras in a Dragonite build because Misty is inconsistent and 2 Energy Retreat makes 1 energy Lapras viable to soften up the active poke slightly while still being reasonable to switch out. AND it's only one Point if knocked out instead of two.
I don’t like that content creators like Jeff Hoogland are coming into the Pokemon community. The way he talks and treats his chat has no place in a community I’ve loved for over 20 years.
I think this game desperately need a mulligan in the start of the game. Too many times you don't get anything in your starting hand even if you run 2 profs 2 pokeballs in a deck
Run Giovanni in a lighting deck and when you get those chances when you go second have out a voltorb and all they have out is a staryu gives you that one hit kill and ends the game it's rare and alot has to come together but it's baptized a few times for me was great
Biggest gripe with the game is the total advantage Pika and Mewtwo have, they are so far ahead in power level it's bad. And I really think in general the should have avoided ex mons in general. for a casual game the just feel bad.
the worst part about mewtwo ex decks w gardevoir support are how they aren't creative, interesting, or fun to play against/with at all. I feel like I try to make fun decks that leverage cool mechanics and every time I find a battle my opponent's opening board is either two mewtwo ex cards or two articuno ex cards IN THEIR WHOLE DECK. what's even the point of playing?
@@jprec5174 yaps. 5-10 minutes for this type of games, i think thats enough. It can do rounds like "Best Of (BO)" to make the match longer. like Best of 3 etc
you're right and wrong. There are a few overturned cards (namely the basic ex cards and misty) that make the game go too quick. It makes the game reliant on coin flips, how good you're opening hand is, and if you go 2nd. If you remove those overturned cards then it actually has pretty good gameplay that rewards good resource management and positioning. I want to see the basic ex cards nerfed and misty should be water brock. The game becomes A LOT better with those changes
@@Joeybanananas pretty much every water pokemon is tuned around misty. By brock do you mean limiting the pokes she can buff or just 1 guaranteed energy? Because if thats the case then brock needs to be buffed too as well as lt surge
@@jprec5174 The mons she buffs. Specifically I was thinking mons associated with her like brock. But I can also accept brock and surge getting buffed to be equal to her. Either option is fine by me. I feel the basic ex cards are the cards that are REALLY overturned. Like how can you look at pikachu and genegar and decide that they're equally strong and balanced.....
Phil yummus shouldn't of healed right away, wasted 10 over-healing and he should've retreated at the end. That venasaur deck is strong. I use a similar one, he had the game if he didn't blunder.
Hi, I'm really interest in this game but have problems with my eyes and can only play games with dark background.. Can this game be played in dark themed mode?
Hey man I just want to express again how sorry I am for my rude intrusion toward the end of your fun and lighthearted stream tonight. To be honest watching you battle live feels like how a football game must feel to a sports fan. It was totally uncalled for but it came from a place of passion an the intent wasn't malicious. Anyway, I hope you don't ban me or something. Been watching your videos since worldwide release and you've been very helpful. I made a real fool of myself, but I hope you can forgive me. - Daniel
I'd try but i somehow have 3 electross but none of his basic or stage 1 forms lol. I've been running gyarados which means 30 hp magikarp. If you go first and all you have is magickarp yes you can lose turn 1. So you have to make sure you have more basics to than karps to even out the odds. So 2 karp means 3-4 other basic pokemon. I probably wouldnt play it in a tournament.
Not enough cards,at the moment it seems psychic decks are taking the lead with not enough good dark types to counter,the set up gardevoir and their pokeability,plus mewtwo ex,and that's basically it.
the thing is, you can allways play meta, but thats what makes you predictable, most decks run the same trainer cards, if you play the same mewtwo/pikachu deck that everyone else, no one is gonna be surprised at all. besides the game its in its initial stages, you can win with a lot of decks, been having lots of fun with a venosaur and a marowak deck, have fun, the meta is more open than it seems at first stages.(this tournament proves it)
30:53 I honestly believe this interaction especially perfectly showcases why Yu-Gi-Oh always was ahead of Pokémon TCG: At the end of the day it all comes down to coinflips which is kind of sad from a player-skill perspective. Still a fun game tho, just limited by the luck factor in my honest opinion since the human brain always strives to optimize and control all aspects of a game which it can never do here
I’m not sure how the actually TCG is and if it’s a lot of coin flips… but Duel Links (mobile yugioh) is very similar to this with it being quick. Luck based. I do wonder if things change a little bit more with more sets? I hate basing my damage and wins off of coin flips so I tend to use different cards
And what happens in "skill based" card games? Everyone runs the same meta and it comes down to who draws what first and who does or doesn't get a bad hand.
@@LilBigSnipe The point is that the luck of the draw affects your start but from then on out your success is skill based. In Pokemon you have the necessary luck of the draw PAIRED with the knowledge no matter how good you play, you or your enemy are 2 coinflips away from getting completely dismantled
Another part of it is this game only has one set out, as the game continues to evolve there will be more variety to weaknesses and types of decks that can be run
People in this comment section complaining about it being not complex are so slow, it’s not suppose to be complex it’s suppose to be simple compared to the main card game smh
Once more sets come out things could get a little more complex as well. Look at hearthstone. Not really complex but coming out with more cards helps it feel like the decks have variety
@ yeah people expecting the game to be so complex when it’s been out properly for a week people just expect so much so fast instead of letting it naturally built over time
54:00 you keep saying pika doesn’t need anything and that is plainly a lie. It NEEDS electric benched Pokemon. Which means no excessive knocking out early game taking out ur basics and ur whole team essentially has to be electric or you run the risk of having something like a normal type being stuck on the bench hindering the damage. Pika is definitely worse than starmie in every way shape and form other than the fact the best decks in game ie Starmie and Moltres decks are weak to lightning. Giving it that pseudo champion deck.
And electric pokes have the lowest hp values. But that's why zapdos is important to take the sabrina and retreat with just 1 energy cost. Honestly zapdos doesnt need anything other than 1 energy as an open and sabrina retreater. His coin flip is a last resort against something like venusaur. It's fair to say the pika deck works because of zapdos a lot like moltres for charizard and arti for a few water decks.
Dude theres like 12 cards total in the game rn what tournament? Were on the first box set and the only usable card combo is Mewtwo and Gardevoir. Its like watching a tournament of who could tie their shoes fastest
And guess what deck won? A dark deck that wasn't even facing mewtwo, but a very tanky venusaur deck. If mewtwo is the best then the dark weezing/arbok deck trumps it based on weakness alone.
Invite me, and meet your doom Spragels. joking, but I just subscribed and found that I am using at least half of the exact same deck builds you came up with as well.
Tournament start - 9:00
How I can sell cards for stamina recovery?
Real first match starts at 24:30 the rest is yapping
Every player should come with 3 decks like at hearthstone for example. Then each player one of the opponent deck, and then they are playing BO3, where player have to change deck if he win one game.
24:28 start of first match

54:00 you keep saying pika doesn’t need anything and that is plainly a lie. It NEEDS electric benched Pokemon. Which means no excessive knocking out early game taking out ur basics and ur whole team essentially has to be electric or you run the risk of having something like a normal type being stuck on the bench hindering the damage. Pika is definitely worse than starmie in every way shape and form other than the fact the best decks in game ie Starmie and Moltres decks are weak to lightning. Giving it that pseudo champion deck.
And electric pokes have the lowest hp values. But that's why zapdos is important to take the sabrina and retreat with just 1 energy cost. Honestly zapdos doesnt need anything other than 1 energy as an open and sabrina retreater. His coin flip is a last resort against something like venusaur. It's fair to say the pika deck works because of zapdos a lot like moltres for charizard and arti for a few water decks.
pikachu should be banned forever 😂
Zombies Poke fact no is poke dud
Game not deep enough.😔
Biggest cringe in the world is someone still saying “killed” a pokemon
This looks incredibly boring compared to magic or yugioh
Dude theres like 12 cards total in the game rn what tournament? Were on the first box set and the only usable card combo is Mewtwo and Gardevoir. Its like watching a tournament of who could tie their shoes fastest
@@riotriotriotriot was a good watch. Lots of varieties.
@@riotriotriotriot most incorrect statement ever. Super fun tournament
And guess what deck won? A dark deck that wasn't even facing mewtwo, but a very tanky venusaur deck. If mewtwo is the best then the dark weezing/arbok deck trumps it based on weakness alone.
You didn't even bother to read the cards, play the nor watch the video
Yet you think you know a thing about the game
@@riotriotriotriot no one tell this person about the smogon furret only singles format based on the main line games 😳

Invite me, and meet your doom Spragels.
joking, but I just subscribed and found that I am using at least half of the exact same deck builds you came up with as well.
