Learning from Tournament Prep feat. Glaceon (Part 2/2) “Alright, do you remember what I said in the Buzzwole article? The part about how I learned a meta deck inside and out and let that knowledge carry me to a Top 4 finish? Yeah, forget all of that. My favorite way to play Pokemon is to put my faith in a deck that is tested just enough that it seems broken and very strong on the anticipated field, and just let the deck take me as far as it can. I’ve seen a lot of success with this kind of deck in recent years, piloting Vespiquen/Zebstrika, Vileplume Toolbox, and…
It digs up the ground with its trunk. It’s also very strong, being able to carry loads of over five tons without any problem at all. (Cufant)
A Tale of Clovers on St. Patrick’s Day and Updated Lists for Portland “Looking back on the list I played, I wouldn’t change a card (if I were to keep the Missing Clovers). I debated Oranguru UPR vs. 3rd Cynthia and Enhanced Hammer vs. 3rd Wimpod as I sat across from my Round 1 opponent. Ultimately, I feel like I made the best decision in including what I chose. I didn’t pull off the infinite loop with Oranguru often, but I believe it in conjunction with Enhanced Hammer is incredibly strong. The 3 Field Blower was worthwhile in that I had it whenever I wanted to remove Parallel City, excess Tools, or as…
Reviewing Rare Candy in Standard and Expanded with Gardevoir and Magnezone “Since I last decided to test Expanded there have been some major format adjustments. In an unprecedented move, Pokemon has moved to ban four cards from the Expanded format for the 2018-2019 season. I’m a bit of a mixed opinion on these bans as I was one of the few who believed the Expanded format was fine before the bans, but I must admit I do think the bans will open up the viability of many other strategies which otherwise may not have had a shot and it significantly cuts down on the amount of degenerate things that can be…
It spins its tail fins to propel itself, surging forward at speeds of over 100 knots before ramming prey and spearing into them. (Barraskewda)
Moving from London to San Jose, Expanded Musings on Golisopod/Zoroark, Lycanroc/Zoroark, and Gardevoir “Zoroark-GX/Lycanroc-GX as a concept has been very appealing to me for a while now, because the Trade Ability provides draw and Bloodthirsty Eyes allows you to target any Pokemon you need. On top of this, you are still able to play a Supporter. Any other deck would have to utilize one in order to get any of those effects, so those assets plus the cost effective attacks make it so that it seems like an overall great strategy. The deck I was trying out in Standard, but ultimately dropped, was very similar to the Japanese 2nd place list used by former…
Reviewing the Top Finishers from NAIC with an Eye to Worlds “I think that this deck might not be “the play” for the World Championships, but I also feel that this deck is almost never a bad choice for an event. It is incredibly consistent, and allows more experienced players to take advantage of all the options it has and outplay the opponent. 2 Tapu Lele-GX, 4 Brigette I have been asked about this a lot, so I feel I should address it here. Having the 4th Brigette instead of the fourth Tapu Lele-GX slightly increases your chance of using Brigette on the first turn of the game. This is because you…
The Debut Friday Flyer, with Farewells and Thoughts “Welcome to the first edition of the Friday Flyer! In addition to me still not really being sure whether it should be Flyer or Flier, it’s a bit of an odd time to talk Pokemon. Fortunately, Pablo kicked us off earlier this week with our first looks at the Sun and Moon-on rotation. At this point, play is mere hours from beginning in the first tier-2 tournament of the year using the format, as the Melbourne Open will kick off. If, at this point you’re going “what on earth am I reading?”, it’s a good time to head back to…
It’s capable of flying faster than 120 mph. It battles alongside Dreepy and dotes on them until they successfully evolve. (Drakloak)
