Happy New Year! Thanks for sticking with us through another year :) This week, we break down our 10 best cards of the year.

Welcome back to another history lesson on the channel. This week, we put together our personal lists of the top cards in Pokèmon history that made the game worse. Our criteria for this was to identify cards (or combos of cards) that changed the game in a way that made the overall experience more negative. A lot of the time, these cards were used to create game breaking or broken combos that were way above the power level that existed regularly at that time. What did we miss? Let us know down below which of these cards you hate the most 👽 Scoop some EndGames using the code "SHIFTGEAR" and follow this link to support the mandem : https://endgametcg.ca/discount/SHIFTGEAR Find us: Aneil: https://www.youtube.com/@AneilTCG Ciaran: https://www.ciarantcg.com/
