An Update on Omastar, Advancing to the Top 64 of the North American Players Cup with Omastar/Inteleon VMAX, and Looking Ahead to Darkness Ablaze “I played Omastar/Stonjourner VMAX in the second of the Limitless Qualifiers, which was the last event before the release of Rebel Clash. I ended up at 5-5 before dropping the event. My losses were 2 Malamar variants, 1 Rillaboom, 1 Blacephalon, and 1 ADPZ. The first three losses were largely unavoidable—I had taken Mallow & Lana out of my list in exchange for Crushing Hammers. Mallow & Lana was a considerable help against many Malamar variants. Rillaboom is an autoloss due to Grass Weakness. The losses to Blacephalon and ADPZ can mostly be chalked up to big deltas in the…
On a Prodigious Return to Magic: The Gathering and What Pokémon Can Learn from the Industry’s Best “Hello SixPrizes! My name is Patrick Casey, and I am a Pokedad on the 6P Forums (@Patrick1865) and a TCG competitor with my son and daughter at events on the Atlantic Coast.

Recently, I have spent some time playing Magic:…

You get to choose your metagame. You choose all of the cards in it. You designate powerful strategies, archetypes, and you decide which foils to those strategies you would like to include. What this means, practically, is that a Cube is a set you make out of existing cards and then draft amongst your friends. As the quote above says, the best part about designing a Cube is that you get to choose exactly what goes in it. No longer will you have…
Kyle Sabelhaus’ 2014 US Nationals Report and Nine Top Plays for the Grinder “I’d like to start with a short recap of my Nationals experience before we look ahead to the World Championships. I came into the weekend with 360 Championship Points and two byes for the main event. After countless hours of testing every deck imaginable, I found myself stuck on Charizard/Raichu. It had everything I wanted for the main event: consistency, power, a Pyroar counter, and a good Yveltal matchup. Most players paired Charizard with Pyroar and/or Mewtwo-EX, but I felt any matchup where Pyroar would seal my opponent’s fate was a positive matchup anyway. Raichu (and his friends) gave me…

The six of them work together as one Pokémon. Teamwork is also their battle strategy, and they constantly change their formation as they fight. (Falinks)
