Deck-Building Through Time: Lesson 2 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 second lesson, exploring the impact of the X & Y base set, new turn one rules, and an errata to Pokémon Catcher.
