In the RuleBook it states…” On the first turn of the game, the starting player cannot play any Trainer, Supporter or Stadium cards from his or her hand, including Fossil Pokemon”. Do you want to know how to get round that rule? All you have to do is play Sableye from the Diamond and Pearl Stormfront Set and use the attack “Impersonate”! You can then “Search your deck for a Supporter Card and discard it. Shuffle your deck afterward. Then use the effect of that card as the effect of this attack”. Alot of the time, people dont like to go first because, although you are ahead of your opponent, you cannot play Supporter Cards which could effectively help you win the game. So if you have Sableye in your hand, it would be wise to offer to go first, many opponents would be happy to let you, and then you are more likely to win, you will be surprised at how crucial this method could be!

For those of you who are regular event participators, Pokemon Organized Play has announced that no card sets will be rotated out of the Modified Format this year. This means that sets including Diamond and Pearl, Mysterious Treausres, Secret Wonders, Great Encounters, Majestic Dawn, Legends Awakened, Stormfront, Platinum and Rising Rivals will still be ok to play until September 2010! Please see Nintendo’s Official Website for the full list of sets.
