Deck-Building Through Time: Lesson 1 Recording

Dramatically improve your deck-building skills by learning from the Pokémon TCG's extensive history in my new course designed for players of all experience-levels. Whether you've never changed a card on your own and want to begin your deck-building journey, or have already designed your own tournament-ready control decks and want a new challenge to test your skills and a history lesson to go along with it, this course is for you! Evaluating new cards, building decks, and predicting new metagames is best learned through practice, but mastering these at the present-day speed of one new set every few months can take years. That's where Pokémon's decade-long history comes in. Together, we'll work through old expansions, rotations, erratas, and bans as if they were happening in the present day—by evaluating cards, building decks, and finally checking our work by looking at what really did happen years ago! This is the recording of the free first lesson held on 2025/04/20, covering the structure of the course, introducing the 2013 World Championship format, and the first set released after it: Plasma Blast.

Deck-Building Through Time Lesson 4

Dramatically improve your deck-building skills by learning from the Pokémon TCG's extensive history in my new course designed for players of all experience-levels. Whether you've never changed a card on your own and want to begin your deck-building journey, or have already designed your own tournament-ready control decks and want a new challenge to test your skills and a history lesson to go along with it, this course is for you! Evaluating new cards, building decks, and predicting new metagames is best learned through practice, but mastering these at the present-day speed of one new set every few months can take years.

Together, we'll work through old expansions, rotations, erratas, and bans as if they were happening in the present day—by evaluating cards, building decks, and finally checking our work by looking at what really did happen years ago! This week we'll spend more time building decks, predicting metagames, and looking at results from tournaments in the Flashfire format, including the 2014 World Championships. As a live-participant (limit of 16) you will have the opportunity to share ideas and decklists you create during the session and get real-time feedback on where you went right and wrong. Once the lesson is over, a recording will be available for anyone else to follow along to and learn from for $9.99. Class will be held through Discord here: https://discord.gg/YCqw7HYwnj
