Custom format

Welcome to The Underground!

Brought to you by Joshua Sutherland and Ryan Tate, a tournament series for the players, by players!

This series is going to focus mainly on old formats, from the earliest days of PTCGO, onward. We feel that there is a large group of the community that misses aspects of how the game used to be and enjoys playing in formats they started in, had great success in, and made a lot of friends in.

We are here to bring back the nostalgia for all of you, the players that helped make the community what it is today. We are here to introduce new players to old formats and give players a platform to explore previous decks and metas while expanding their knowledge of the game in a fun, no pressure environment. These tournaments are designed for fun and designed to emulate what it felt like to play Pokemon back in these time frames.

For the debut tournament of this series we decided to choose 2015 Worlds as the format. We hope you will enjoy bringing back memories with us and participating in these blasts from the past.

The Supporter ruling on PTCGO is for current standard. To mitigate this, players will need to draw-pass, draw-pass at the start of each game. This is to better simulate the format rulings from these time periods. Failure to abide by this will result in restarting the game with a double prize penalty for the player that makes the mistake. Screenshots are encouraged for players to better assist judges with their decisions if need be.

Entry will cost 2 packs of the most recent standard set. (This is Vivid Voltage for now) Please send 2 packs of VIV to UndergroundReg on PTCGO

Feel free to join The Underground's Discord. It isn't mandatory but is a good way to keep up to date with everything we have going on, both during tournaments and in-between them.
