Getting back to playing the game but confused

[milkykou]

So it has been over a decade since i played the games (both card game and video game in general) and it seems like alot has changed from what i remember. I dont remember all these rules with different status effects, if some of my old cards from the 90s/early 00s are even able to be used anymore (like double colorless, i remember some people did not allow that card) or what the new limits are and without someone near where i live to help me re-learn, its not easy to get back into the game. Would someone like to help me out? I did get me a Fennekin deck starter for trying to get back in, but i would like to kinda customize it.

Thank you all in advance.

Oh yes, and what is with these new EX cards and X cards and such? i cant seem to find solid answers for this.

If you're referring to Burn, Poison, Confusion ect, They've been around since the base set :p

I too recently got back into the game after a long time and I'd recommend downloading the TCGO and doing to tutorial and playing against the AI opponents, you'll quickly learn the basic mechanics this way.

well its mostly the status "chips" that were given to me in the starter set the one with a bandage? i dont see what it is to be.

That's the burn effect chip :)

I see i see. Well that clears that up. What about my old cards, are they still allowed or not allowed?
