My Top 5 Decks for Week 1 of Players Cup Bracket Play (Including: Spiritomb, Baby Blowns, PikaRom, Dragapult, and Zacian Combo) “Spiritomb/Ultra Beasts is a deck that emerged after the metagame was already established. If the metagame stays the way it is, then we have a great deck, but if opponents make a few changes to prepare for Spiritomb, it loses a lot of potential. In addition, it is a deck with very even matchups, without great advantages or disadvantages. Spiritomb needs other attackers because alone it will not be able to close out a match due to its low HP and limit of 4 copies. As much as you use Ordinary Rod or Lana’s Fishing Rod, you still need more…
Crafting a New Version of Decidueye, Brit’s 2017 NAIC Run, and “Good Not Good” “I think it is very difficult for some players to stomach the notion that other are better than them. This is no doubt (at least in some part) a general psychological response and it is simply hard to stomach propositions such as “simply not good enough” or “my opponent just outplayed me” but I think that acknowledging such an idea is important or even necessary to becoming better players ourselves. For instance, if we use running as an analogy, I do not think anyone would really be upset at the assertion that someone who has been running marathon for years…
Decidueye’s Plume-less Resurgence, Drampa/Garbodor’s Nationals Performances, and Initial Thoughts on Worlds “I am fortunate to have a lot of friends in the Pokemon TCG. Specifically, I stayed with 10 other friends (across multiple hotel rooms, don’t worry!) that all had not chosen a deck prior to arriving in Indianapolis. Before I arrived Wednesday evening, I was pretty set on Darkrai. My list was similar to the one I posted in my article last week, but I had been testing some games with four Fighting Fury Belt over the four Choice Band. I thought this might give a better shot against decks like Vikavolt/Tapu Bulu, and just help keep Darkrai alive longer.…
The Good and Bad of TPCi’s US Nationals 2015 Twitch Coverage “There is no doubting that TPCi has hired commentators that know what they’re doing. There have been slight slip-ups in the past, but I truly believe that the cast of commentators TPCi is employing are some of the best possible choices (though the ensemble could always be improved … hint hint). They all seem comfortable in front of the camera, are knowledgeable about the game, and overall deliver a good product. Particularly, I think the chemistry between Kyle “Pooka” Sucevich and Josh “JWittz” Wittenkeller is the best part of the production. They have been working together on coverage for a…
When it’s drumming out rapid beats in battle, it gets so caught up in the rhythm that it won’t even notice that it’s already knocked out its opponent. (Thwackey)
It secretly marks potential targets with a scent. By following the scent, it stalks its targets and steals from them when they least expect it. (Thievul)
