Description
Episode 195 – Special Conditions (Pokémon TCG)
Card of the Day: Uxie 43/146 (Legends Awakened) Main Topics:
TCG Live is actually… fun again? In this episode, Adam and Justin catch up after a short hiatus to talk about their TCG Live ladder challenge, the current regional meta and online events, and why Mega Absol Box might secretly be the deck to beat. They also dive back into Diamond & Pearl era history with Uxie from Legends Awakened, crack a couple of Journey Together packs on air, and react to those wild early Phantasmal Flames blister leaks.
Whether you’re grinding the Greninja League, brewing rogue decks, or just love old-school card of the day segments, this one’s packed with stories, tech, and plenty of “I did what on ladder?” moments.
