How should i get started?

Personally I'd say if you want to play competitively start by getting 2/3 Keldeo tins and 3 Black Kyurem Boundaries Crossed decks. That would be a good way to get a very rough Blastdeo Deck going on. After that, trade/buy singles to get what you need.

Would you say the Blastdeo deck would be a good tournament deck to try start off with ? I'm just getting back into the game myself and I'm struggling to know where to start. I'm picking up a theme deck or two just for the energys and a few boosters or tins depending on funds.

$52 doesn't sound too bad, I'm just trying to figure out a good deck to start with. The fact Blastoise is in it I think is whats drawing me too it ha. Thanks for offering to trade !! When I build up my collection a bit I'll if we can figure out a trade or two :)

I built that deck. I do recommend buying that theme deck with kyurem and blastoise in it. Good cards in there for you.

But I also got lucky and pulled a Blastoise earlier.

From there. Start buying your cards individually on eBay (most trainers are in packs of 4). And so on.

It's one of the only decks atm that will last after the rotation. So yeah. Just stay away from eels and darkrai. Waste of money

Thanks for the advice. Hopefully I'll be able to pick the that deck up tomorrow I know for sure my shop has the tin. I see myself blowing my budget very quickly tomorrow has. How often do rotations tend to happen? Don't want to rush out buy a load of cards and they are no use to me in a month or two.

When the annual tournaments are done. Sometime in September.

Blast/Keldeo will still be very useful next rotation. So no worries.

Or you can start planning a Plasma Deck. As in May a new Plasma Freeze is being released. With a lot of great cards with plasma.

I liked how he pulled a squritle and got all happy, then pulled a skyla full art and was all "meh."

That's were it shows just how much we have to learn haha... In fairness he put the skyla straight into his deck.... Squirtle sadly did not make the cut! Funny part was he didn't know Skyla was even a rare until a few hours after he opened it, just thought it was a cool card.

I just went down to this shop and they sold tins of the B&W ND cards for 6 bucks. I freaked when I saw Pikachu and Raichu in a B&W ND (what gen is B&W ND?) card set seem like they are bit to much of an older GEN to be in my set, but I am happy they are. And I just like to look at the cool pics on them anyway.

And I got this thick plastic card - sorta like a credit card with this number embossed on it, whats that card? It's a Joltioun (?) by the way.

Is there a format for selling pokemon cards? Or are my cards no good or something? From what I see on other listings my prices are good and I listed set numbers and whatnot.

*facepalm*

only new cards (from about spring 2011 onwards) are allowed. Stop spamming your ebay link, it is against the rules, and I've already reported you.
