Pokemon TCG: Mid-Year Celebration - Gym Leader Challenge Format
Advertisement
Join us for the Mid-Year Celebration!!
We are using the Gym Leader Challenge format for this event.
As far as the rules go, they’re simple—you can only include one Pokémon type in your deck; Pokémon with a Rule Box (Pokémon ex, Pokémon V, etc.) are banned; ACE SPEC cards are banned; and you’re limited to a single copy of each card name that you include (this is known as singleton in the Pokémon TCG community). Gym Leader Challenge also uses the Expanded format, which features cards released from the Black & White Series onward. This combination of rules is perfect for allowing you to experiment with a wide variety of decks that can create almost limitless game states and interactions as you play against other Trainers.
There is one last thing to consider, though—the community maintains a list of banned cards to promote a healthy format where everyone can have fun. You are not permitted to include these cards in your Gym Leader Challenge deck when playing at events:
Lysandre’s Trump Card
Oranguru
Forest of Giant Plants
Chip-Chip Ice Axe
Hiker
Kyogre
Pokémon Research Lab
Raikou
Marshadow
Duskull
Double Colorless Energy
Twin Energy
Dimension Valley
This will be a Best of 1 tournament.
The winner gets a special mid-year celebration playmat and everyone that plays will get at least 1 booster pack and 1 promo pack plus more to the top placements!
Entry is $15
