I can confirm this. Good luck in rest of tourney!

Round 5 - MewsGame defeats @Brandonismyfoe (2 - 0) Good luck and good game!

I mean does the deck work without abilities? No. But you only need 2 in the deck. You just need to only field blower when necessary. Lets say for example a bulu kills a garboder. You didn't discard energy so when it's your next turn, even if you are ability locked, don't waste a blower until you...

See the problem with this deck is that you can't even say it's niche enough to have 100 or 0 matchups. If anything it's maybe a 70-0, but only if it is literally your best matchup. (If you don't know what that means, 100-0 refers to the deck being a direct and overberring counter to another deck...

Honestly you might see me there because that's the closest regional, usually, from where I live. I think that it wouldn't be a bad idea to wait until worlds is over to decide on a deck because unless a deck involves forest, it could probably carry over pretty well into expanded. I've seen some...

No, not currently. I don't even think there is one like that coming out in Burning Shadows.

Well you said there are no techs, but arguably running 2 extra Lele is like a tech in and of itself. Just as other people said, specifically Otaku, you don't just win a tournament with over 1000 players by having the best decklist. It takes skill, knowledge, and a little bit of luck to get as...

I personally like the Lurantis version better just because it operates better under ability lock. If you're using Vika/Bulu, are out of field blowers, and get ability locked, your only option is to just concede. Vika/Bulu is just like Metagross, it doesn't work without abilities which I feel is...

It was fun playing Pokemon for 13 hours only to drop in the last round because one game I got donk'ed and couldn't take both games back.

Volcanion usually starts with the baby and you hopefully start espeon. Usually you want to psybeam the baby and confuse it so that they're scared to power heater. That 30 chip damage also allows psychic to finish it up on the following turn. As for the Volcanion-EX's, with a choice band your...

Yes, you're completely right. That's how I intended on writing it initially but while writing the article I decided to just make it a summary of the deck and my thoughts on it. But there is information in there about certain matchups such as the mirror or Metagross. While revising the article...

Intro - Hey guys! I just got back home from a very exciting weekend in Indianapolis, and I'm very excited to share my experiences from the event. On top of that, I'll be discussing where I think the future lies for the deck I piloted in standard post-rotation. If you're wondering how I placed...

You and I sort of talked about this over on my thread, but I would call about 7 decks to be the best in format with over 10 more being viable competitors. Garboder changed the format in the most profound way, but by no means does that mean it's the best deck. It's only the best deck if you let...

I agree that 2 stage 2's is way too clunky unless they were grass (Decidueye Kingdra might be cool), but volcanion actually sets up pretty slow because they need to use the baby to spread energy, then the actual attackers start going off, however the baby would be doing enough to one shot...

I really appreciate all the help and feedback! I find your list to be very interesting, and I'll be sure to try it out. I think you're totally right with bees having good match-ups across the board, which I think is mostly just because it's a good prize trade deck. I'd love to test with you...

I think you're very correct in saying that it won't impact the format as much as Guardians Rising did, but frankly I wouldn't expect it to considering that hasn't occurred in a long time. I'm excited for all the cards you mentioned, as well as a few of the supporters and trainers like Guzma, Po...

As I'm sure most of you are aware, Internationals are coming up in a short 11 days, and now is when you should be ordering what you need, but also begin tirelessly testing match ups to give yourself an edge. Guardians Rising shook up the format way more than I expected, and completely changed...

Excited for US internationals that are coming up pretty soon!

Hello everyone! It was a really exciting weekend to be a Pokemon TCG player, and a really fun weekend at that. I met some really cool people and had a blast seeing all sorts of decks compete in the main tournament. Before I go on with the top 8, here is a link of the deck lists and players...
