Pokemon Card Drafting DOESN'T Have to SUCK 

Hi

Hey JWittz, long time fan here. I know you might be loaded on video ideas, but when you have the time I'd love to see your take on both the new Digimon TCG and the Disney Villainous Board Game. I think you would really love the interaction of Villainous especially, with everybody trying to achieve their own goals while fateing each other to stop people in the lead. Plus there's definitely enough content (especially with Villainous's 3 expansion) for a well lengthen video. Just food for thought

I don't know what drafting is. Could someone tell me?

​@@zzyxxyzz5442 I mean there's google. But put simply, it's a competitive format where players take turns opening packs and have to build a deck with the cards they get before playing. So it challenges your ability to both play the game and build a viable-ish deck, even with crummy cards

@@zombieplasticclock Thanks for the help, dude.

True

Not just the tcg, that's how Digimon has handled evolution in general.:P

@@ZombieBarioth don't they have established lines and is just some games that do whatever they want with them?

@@marcoasturias8520 not really the anime does it too it’s just more common in the games

I know, right? As soon as he started explaining it I thought, "This sounds very familiar."

With the pins in place, they can also hold GB/GBC cartridges!

Can you even call yourself a fan if you didn't watch his first ever vid explaining the basics smh

Can you even call yourself a fan if weren't present during the birth of Josh aka Jwittz

@@morklee31 you mean the series he never finished?

@@gregorymirabella1423 he did, but it was much later

Just a normal day in pokemon i guess

Well maybe you can add a house rule where they can only evolve into a pokemon as long as they have the same amount of evolution stages

and that same wailord can evolve further into a blastoise, making for some absolutely hilarious plays. As wack as it sounds, mutant evolutions in pokemon is pretty fun.

That sounds just like Digimon

And it's exactly how the new Digimon card game works xD

I recently revealed the genders of my two girlfriends. It got a lot of hate and now has 30 times more dislikes than likes. I am really sad that people can be so mean. Sorry for using your comment to talk about my problems, dear hy

Well depends on the draft. If you do conspiracy in mtg yeah its creative cause that set was BUILT for draft. If you draft a game of modern masters or double masters.....you may kiss that creative aspect goodbye

@@AxxLAfriku bro what

@@OsamuNaraWu3 commander legends is definitely in that conspiracy camp of the draft experience is fantastic

@@AxxLAfriku There is a time and place for everything. And you missed both.

Join the discord! You’ll be able to find groups to play with there c:

@@bagleopard this comment is wholesome

Plot Twist: It is and Jwittz has been secretly in stock footage this whole time

Play the GBC game for a basic rundown. It's really fun

I was thinking of Digimon as well!

You might not be interested how draft works, but if you are I have written what it is and how it works bellow. Drafting is a tcg format where you get together with 4-8 friends open packs, and build decks out of only those packs. It can range from being a really casual to a competitive format depending on the group and location(conventions and gameshops are generally more competitive). Everyone gets 3 Boosterpacks with 15 cards in it and you sit together at a big table. Then everyone opens a booster and picks 1 card that they are going to keep. They then hand the booster (with now 14 Cards in it) clockwise to their neighbor. Then they repeat that untill all the cards of the first boosterpack are gone. The second batch of boosterpacks follow the same process, but the boosters get handed counterclock wise around the table. And the third and final boosters are again handed clockwise around the table. Now you have pool of 45 cards that you drafted that you use to build your 40 card deck. Energy cards (or in magic basic lands) are provided from outside of the boosters and you have an unlimited amount. Now you just shuffle up and play with your friends.

@@bunbundestroyerofworldslor3512 this was the only thing wrong with this video. We were just expected to know what drafting was. Thanks for the explanation.

@@bunbundestroyerofworldslor3512 Thank you SO MUCH. This playstyle looks so cool but I didn't know

@@MantaKizaemonFTW it is really fun, I highly recommend it. And it's a really different experience compared to normal deck building. You won't have "optimized" decks but you get to play with a bunch of cards that are unplayable in other formats.

Yes please

@Dovahgatr I think I remember bushi's official way to solve it is to say that every card is all clans and that anything referring to a specific clan instead refers to all clans

But were they Eclipses or old fashioned Ultra Pro?

Same

Same

Give the online version a try if you’re ever curious, it’s a free download.

This is a good idea and you could even have to where it can be 3 packs of the 20 to make a 60 card deck like normal for Pokémon but the prizes would be 2 per pack used to make your deck

if you slide me your discord we can run it on tabletop

Cube saved my failing marriage!

That's just pre release not a draft

"CUTIE DECK" 1. No V EX GX or special 2. any element usable for any card 3. no repeats, 1 of each pokemon 4. only basics with under 70 hp. 5. no trainer cards (or just draw 3 cards) like Hop. Just a straight, adorable, grudge match. Not a lot of strategy but still fun!

"ONE PILE" good for siblings 1. NO V EX GX special 2. All cards use Any energy 3. final stage pokemon only (or stage 1, or basic, just pick 1 type, w/e you have more of) 4. 120 (or less for shorter games) card deck. you both draw from same pile I set these decks up for my kids so they cant complain about one having "better cards" Also it gives them a chance to use cards of pokemon they like but are not very good.
